¹ Posle toga htede Bog okušati Avrama, pa mu reče: Avrame! A on odgovori: Evo me.

² I reče mu Bog: Uzmi sada sina svog, jedinca svog milog, Isaka, pa idi u zemlju Moriju, i spali ga na žrtvu tamo na brdu gde ću ti kazati.

³ I sutradan rano ustavši Avram osamari magarca svog, i uze sa sobom dva momka i Isaka sina svog; i nacepavši drva za žrtvu podiže se i pođe na mesto koje mu kaza Bog.

⁴ Treći dan podigavši oči svoje Avram ugleda mesto iz daleka.

⁵ I reče Avram momcima svojim: Ostanite vi ovde s magarcem, a ja i dete idemo onamo, pa kad se pomolimo Bogu, vratićemo se k vama.

⁶ I uzevši Avram drva za žrtvu naprti Isaku sinu svom, a sam uze u svoje ruke ognja i nož; pa otidoše obojica zajedno.

⁷ Tada reče Isak Avramu ocu svom: Oče! A on reče: Šta je, sine! I reče Isak: Eto ognja i drva, a gde je jagnje za žrtvu?

⁸ A Avram odgovori: Bog će se, sinko, postarati za jagnje sebi na žrtvu. I iđahu obojica zajedno.

⁹ A kad dođoše na mesto koje mu Bog kaza, Avram načini onde žrtvenik, i metnu drva na nj, i svezavši Isaka sina svog metnu ga na žrtvenik vrh drva;

¹⁰ I izmahnu Avram rukom svojom i uze nož da zakolje sina svog.

¹¹ Ali anđeo Gospodnji viknu ga s neba, i reče: Avrame! Avrame! A on reče: Evo me.

¹² A anđeo reče: Ne diži ruku svoju na dete, i ne čini mu ništa; jer sada poznah da se bojiš Boga, kad nisi požalio sina svog, jedinca svog, mene radi.

¹³ I Avram podigavši oči svoje pogleda; i gle, ovan iza njega zapleo se u česti rogovima; i otišavši Avram uze ovna i spali ga na žrtvu mesto sina svog.

¹⁴ I nazva Avram ono mesto Gospod će se postarati. Zato se i danas kaže: Na brdu, gde će se Gospod postarati.

¹⁵ I anđeo Gospodnji opet viknu s neba Avrama.

¹⁶ I reče: Sobom se zakleh, veli Gospod: kad si tako učinio, i nisi požalio sina svog, jedinca svog,

¹⁷ Zaista ću te blagosloviti i seme tvoje veoma umnožiti, da ga bude kao zvezda na nebu i kao peska na bregu morskom; i naslediće seme tvoje vrata neprijatelja svojih;

¹⁸ I blagosloviće se u semenu tvom svi narodi na zemlji, kad si poslušao glas moj.

¹⁹ Tada se Avram vrati k momcima svojim, te se digoše, i otidoše zajedno u Virsaveju, jer Avram živeše u Virsaveji.

²⁰ Posle toga javiše Avramu govoreći: Gle, i Melha rodi sinove bratu tvom Nahoru:

²¹ Uza prvenca i Vuza brata mu, i Kamuila, oca Aramovog,

²² I Hazada i Azava i Faldesa i Jeldafa i Vatuila.

²³ A Vatuilo rodi Reveku. Osam ih rodi Melha Nahoru bratu Avramovom.

²⁴ I inoča njegova, po imenu Revma, rodi i ona Taveka i Gama i Tohosa i Moha.

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.
