¹ Now after these things, God put Abraham to the test, and said to him, Abraham; and he said, Here am I.

² And he said to him, Take your son, your dearly loved only son Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah and give him as a burned offering on one of the mountains of which I will give you knowledge.

³ And Abraham got up early in the morning, and made ready his ass, and took with him two of his young men and Isaac, his son, and after the wood for the burned offering had been cut, he went on his way to the place of which God had given him word.

⁴ And on the third day, Abraham, lifting up his eyes, saw the place a long way off.

⁵ Then he said to his young men, Keep here with the ass; and I and the boy will go on and give worship and come back again to you.

⁶ And Abraham put the wood for the burned offering on his son's back, and he himself took the fire and the knife in his hand, and the two of them went on together.

⁷ Then Isaac said to Abraham, My father; and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, We have wood and fire here, but where is the lamb for the burned offering?

⁸ And Abraham said, God himself will give the lamb for the burned offering: so they went on together.

⁹ And they came to the place of which God had given him knowledge; and there Abraham made the altar and put the wood in place on it, and having made tight the bands round Isaac his son, he put him on the wood on the altar.

¹⁰ And stretching out his hand, Abraham took the knife to put his son to death.

¹¹ But the voice of the angel of the Lord came from heaven, saying, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.

¹² And he said, Let not your hand be stretched out against the boy to do anything to him; for now I am certain that the fear of God is in your heart, because you have not kept back your son, your only son, from me.

¹³ And lifting up his eyes, Abraham saw a sheep fixed by its horns in the brushwood: and Abraham took the sheep and made a burned offering of it in place of his son.

¹⁴ And Abraham gave that place the name Yahweh-yireh: as it is said to this day, In the mountain the Lord is seen.

¹⁵ And the voice of the angel of the Lord came to Abraham a second time from heaven,

¹⁶ Saying, I have taken an oath by my name, says the Lord, because you have done this and have not kept back from me your dearly loved only son,

¹⁷ That I will certainly give you my blessing, and your seed will be increased like the stars of heaven and the sand by the seaside; your seed will take the land of those who are against them;

¹⁸ And your seed will be a blessing to all the nations of the earth, because you have done what I gave you orders to do.

¹⁹ Then Abraham went back to his young men and they went together to Beer-sheba, the place where Abraham was living.

²⁰ After these things, Abraham had news that Milcah, the wife of his brother Nahor, had given birth to children;

²¹ Uz the oldest, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel, the father of Aram,

²² And Chesed and Hazo and Pildash and Jidlaph and Bethuel.

²³ Bethuel was the father of Rebekah: these eight were the children of Milcah and Nahor, Abraham's brother.

²⁴ And his servant Reumah gave birth to Tebah and Gaham and Tahash and Maacah.

¹ Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: these are the sons which they had after the great flow of waters

² The sons of Japheth: Gomer and Magog and Madai and Javan and Tubal and Meshech and Tiras.

³ And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz and Riphath and Togarmah.

⁴ And the sons of Javan: Elishah and Tarshish, the Kittim and the Dodanim.

⁵ From these came the nations of the sea-lands, with their different families and languages.

⁶ And the sons of Ham: Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan.

⁷ And the sons of Cush: Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

⁸ And Cush was the father of Nimrod, who was the first of the great men of the earth.

⁹ He was a very great bowman, so that there is a saying, Like Nimrod, a very great bowman.

¹⁰ And at the first, his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

¹¹ From that land he went out into Assyria, building Nineveh with its wide streets and Calah,

¹² And Resen between Nineveh and Calah, which is a very great town.

¹³ And Mizraim was the father of the Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim;

¹⁴ And Pathrusim and Casluhim and Caphtorim, from whom came the Philistines.

¹⁵ And Canaan was the father of Zidon, who was his oldest son, and Heth,

¹⁶ And the Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite,

¹⁷ And the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite,

¹⁸ And the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite; after that the families of the Canaanites went far and wide in all directions;

¹⁹ Their country stretching from Zidon to Gaza, in the direction of Gerar; and to Lasha, in the direction of Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim.

²⁰ All these, with their different families, languages, lands, and nations, are the offspring of Ham.

²¹ And Shem, the older brother of Japheth, the father of the children of Eber, had other sons in addition.

²² These are the sons of Shem: Elam and Asshur and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram.

²³ And the sons of Aram: Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash.

²⁴ And Arpachshad became the father of Shelah; and Shelah became the father of Eber.

²⁵ And Eber had two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, because in his time the peoples of the earth became separate; and his brother's name was Joktan.

²⁶ And Joktan was the father of Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah

²⁷ And Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah

²⁸ And Obal and Abimael and Sheba

²⁹ And Ophir and Havilah and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.

³⁰ And their country was from Mesha, in the direction of Sephar, the mountain of the east.

³¹ These, with their families and their languages and their lands and their nations, are the offspring of Shem.

³² These are the families of the sons of Noah, in the order of their generations and their nations: from these came all the nations of the earth after the great flow of waters.
