¹Then it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and he said to him, “Abraham”, and he said, “Here I am.” ²And he said, “Now take your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and get going to the land of Moriah, and offer him up there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you.” ³So Abraham got up early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and he took two servant-lads with him, and Isaac his son, and he chopped pieces of wood for the burnt offering, and he got up and went to the place which God had told him. ⁴On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from a distance. ⁵Then Abraham said to his servant-lads, “You remain here with the donkey, but I and the lad will go over there and worship, and we will come back to you.” ⁶And Abraham took pieces of wood for the burnt offering and loaded them onto Isaac his son, and he took fire and a knife in his hand. And the two of them went together. ⁷Then Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father”, and he said, “Here I am, my son.” Then he said, “Here are the fire and the pieces of wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?” ⁸And Abraham said, “God will provide himself with the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went together. ⁹And they came to the place which God had said to him, and Abraham built an altar there, and he arrayed the pieces of wood, and he bound Isaac his son and put him on the altar, on top of the pieces of wood. ¹⁰And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. ¹¹Then the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he said, “Here I am.” ¹²And he said, “Do not stretch out your hand to the lad, and do not do anything to him, for now I know that you are a fearer of God, for you did not withhold your son – your only son – from me.” ¹³Then Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and there was a ram behind him caught in a thicket by its horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering instead of his son. ¹⁴And Abraham called that place Jehovah-Jireh, as it is said today, “In the mountain of the Lord, provision will be made.” ¹⁵Then the angel of the Lord called out from heaven to Abraham a second time, ¹⁶and he said, “By myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing and did not withhold your son – your only son – ¹⁷that I will greatly bless you and greatly increase your seed, like the stars of the sky and like the sand which is on the sea-shore, and your seed will inherit the gate of its enemies. ¹⁸And all the nations of the earth will be blessed through your seed, because you have obeyed me.” ¹⁹Then Abraham returned to his servant-lads, and they got up, and they went together to Beersheba. And Abraham remained in Beersheba. ²⁰And it came to pass after these things that it was reported to Abraham as follows: “Behold, Milcah also has borne sons to Nahor your brother: ²¹Uz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram, ²²and Chesed and Hazo and Pildash and Jidlaph and Bethuel.” ²³Now Bethuel begot Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight to Nahor the brother of Abraham, ²⁴and his concubine, whose name was Reumah, also gave birth, to Tebah and Gaham and Tahash and Maachah.
