Genesis 22
22:1 And it came to pass after these things, that Elohim
did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. 22:2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son
Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a
burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. 22:3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and
saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and split the
wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which Elohim had told
him. 22:4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes,
and saw the place afar off. 22:5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here
with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you, 22:6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering,
and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they
went both of them together. 22:7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said,
My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but
where is the lamb for a burnt offering? 22:8 And Abraham said, My son, Elohim will provide
himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. 22:9 And they came to the place which Elohim had told
him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his
son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. 22:10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the
knife to slay his son. 22:11 And the angel of 22:12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad,
neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest Elohim, seeing thou
hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. 22:13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and
behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the
ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. 22:14 And Abraham called the name of that place
22:15 And the angel of 22:16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith 22:17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in
multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is
upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; 22:18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth
be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. 22:19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they
rose up and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba. 22:20 And it came to pass after these things, that it
was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother
Nahor; 22:21 Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel
the father of Aram, 22:22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph,
and Bethuel. 22:23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did
bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother. 22:24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare
also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah. called unto him out of
