¹ και εγενετο μετα τα ρηματα ταυτα ο θεος επειραζεν τον αβρααμ και ειπεν προς αυτον αβρααμ αβρααμ ο δε ειπεν ιδου εγω

² και ειπεν λαβε τον υιον σου τον αγαπητον ον ηγαπησας τον ισαακ και πορευθητι εις την γην την υψηλην και ανενεγκον αυτον εκει εις ολοκαρπωσιν εφ' εν των ορεων ων αν σοι ειπω

³ αναστας δε αβρααμ το πρωι επεσαξεν την ονον αυτου παρελαβεν δε μεθ' εαυτου δυο παιδας και ισαακ τον υιον αυτου και σχισας ξυλα εις ολοκαρπωσιν αναστας επορευθη και ηλθεν επι τον τοπον ον ειπεν αυτω ο θεος

⁴ τη ημερα τη τριτη και αναβλεψας αβρααμ τοις οφθαλμοις ειδεν τον τοπον μακροθεν

⁵ και ειπεν αβρααμ τοις παισιν αυτου καθισατε αυτου μετα της ονου εγω δε και το παιδαριον διελευσομεθα εως ωδε και προσκυνησαντες αναστρεψωμεν προς υμας

⁶ ελαβεν δε αβρααμ τα ξυλα της ολοκαρπωσεως και επεθηκεν ισαακ τω υιω αυτου ελαβεν δε και το πυρ μετα χειρα και την μαχαιραν και επορευθησαν οι δυο αμα

⁷ ειπεν δε ισαακ προς αβρααμ τον πατερα αυτου ειπας πατερ ο δε ειπεν τι εστιν τεκνον λεγων ιδου το πυρ και τα ξυλα που εστιν το προβατον το εις ολοκαρπωσιν

⁸ ειπεν δε αβρααμ ο θεος οψεται εαυτω προβατον εις ολοκαρπωσιν τεκνον πορευθεντες δε αμφοτεροι αμα

⁹ ηλθον επι τον τοπον ον ειπεν αυτω ο θεος και ωκοδομησεν εκει αβρααμ θυσιαστηριον και επεθηκεν τα ξυλα και συμποδισας ισαακ τον υιον αυτου επεθηκεν αυτον επι το θυσιαστηριον επανω των ξυλων

¹⁰ και εξετεινεν αβρααμ την χειρα αυτου λαβειν την μαχαιραν σφαξαι τον υιον αυτου

¹¹ και εκαλεσεν αυτον αγγελος κυριου εκ του ουρανου και ειπεν αυτω αβρααμ αβρααμ ο δε ειπεν ιδου εγω

¹² και ειπεν μη επιβαλης την χειρα σου επι το παιδαριον μηδε ποιησης αυτω μηδεν νυν γαρ εγνων οτι φοβη τον θεον συ και ουκ εφεισω του υιου σου του αγαπητου δι' εμε

¹³ και αναβλεψας αβρααμ τοις οφθαλμοις αυτου ειδεν και ιδου κριος εις κατεχομενος εν φυτω σαβεκ των κερατων και επορευθη αβρααμ και ελαβεν τον κριον και ανηνεγκεν αυτον εις ολοκαρπωσιν αντι ισαακ του υιου αυτου

¹⁴ και εκαλεσεν αβρααμ το ονομα του τοπου εκεινου κυριος ειδεν ινα ειπωσιν σημερον εν τω ορει κυριος ωφθη

¹⁵ και εκαλεσεν αγγελος κυριου τον αβρααμ δευτερον εκ του ουρανου

¹⁶ λεγων κατ' εμαυτου ωμοσα λεγει κυριος ου εινεκεν εποιησας το ρημα τουτο και ουκ εφεισω του υιου σου του αγαπητου δι' εμε

¹⁷ η μην ευλογων ευλογησω σε και πληθυνων πληθυνω το σπερμα σου ως τους αστερας του ουρανου και ως την αμμον την παρα το χειλος της θαλασσης και κληρονομησει το σπερμα σου τας πολεις των υπεναντιων

¹⁸ και ενευλογηθησονται εν τω σπερματι σου παντα τα εθνη της γης ανθ' ων υπηκουσας της εμης φωνης

¹⁹ απεστραφη δε αβρααμ προς τους παιδας αυτου και ανασταντες επορευθησαν αμα επι το φρεαρ του ορκου και κατωκησεν αβρααμ επι τω φρεατι του ορκου

²⁰ εγενετο δε μετα τα ρηματα ταυτα και ανηγγελη τω αβρααμ λεγοντες ιδου τετοκεν μελχα και αυτη υιους ναχωρ τω αδελφω σου

²¹ τον ωξ πρωτοτοκον και τον βαυξ αδελφον αυτου και τον καμουηλ πατερα συρων

²² και τον χασαδ και τον αζαυ και τον φαλδας και τον ιεδλαφ και τον βαθουηλ

²³ και βαθουηλ εγεννησεν την ρεβεκκαν οκτω ουτοι υιοι ους ετεκεν μελχα τω ναχωρ τω αδελφω αβρααμ

²⁴ και η παλλακη αυτου η ονομα ρεημα ετεκεν και αυτη τον ταβεκ και τον γααμ και τον τοχος και τον μωχα

¹ It happened after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" He said, "Here I am."

² He said, "Now take your son, your only son, whom you love, even Isaac, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there for a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of."

³ Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.

⁴ On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.

⁵ Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go yonder. We will worship, and come back to you."

⁶ Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together.

⁷ Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, "My father?" He said, "Here I am, my son." He said, "Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"

⁸ Abraham said, "God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they both went together.

⁹ They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood.

¹⁰ Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.

¹¹ The angel of Yahweh called to him out of the sky, and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" He said, "Here I am."

¹² He said, "Don't lay your hand on the boy, neither do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me."

¹³ Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.

¹⁴ Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh Will Provide. As it is said to this day, "On Yahweh's mountain, it will be provided."

¹⁵ The angel of Yahweh called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,

¹⁶ and said, "I have sworn by myself, says Yahweh, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,

¹⁷ that I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your seed greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your seed will possess the gate of his enemies.

¹⁸ In your seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice."

¹⁹ So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.

²⁰ It happened after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, "Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:

²¹ Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,

²² Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel."

²³ Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.

²⁴ His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
