And it came to pass after these things
, that God
did tempt
Abraham
, and said
unto him, Abraham
: and he said
, Behold, here I am .
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.
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 clave
the wood
for the burnt offering
, and rose up
, and went
unto the place
of which God
had told
him.
Then on the third day
Abraham
lifted up
his eyes
, and saw
the place
afar off
.
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.
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
.
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
?
And Abraham said
, My son
, God
will provide
himself a lamb
for a burnt offering
: so they went
both of them
together
.
And they came to the place
which God
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
.
And Abraham stretched forth
his hand
, and took
the knife
to slay
his son
.
And the angel of the LORD
called
unto him out of heaven
, and said
, Abraham
, Abraham
: and he said
, Here am I.
And he said, Lay
not thine hand
upon
the lad
, neither do thou
any thing
unto him: for now
I know
that thou fearest
God
, seeing thou hast not
withheld
thy son
, thine only
son from me.
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
.
And Abraham called
the name
of that place
Jehovahjireh
: as
it is said
to this day
, In the mount
of the LORD
it shall be seen
.
And the angel of the LORD
called
unto Abraham
out of heaven
the second time
,
And said, By myself have I sworn
, saith
the LORD
, for because
thou hast done
this thing
, and hast not
withheld
thy son
, thine only
son :
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
;
And in thy seed shall all the nations
of the earth
be blessed
; because
thou hast obeyed
my voice
.
So Abraham returned
unto his young men
, and they rose up
and went
together
to Beersheba
; and Abraham
dwelt
at Beersheba
.
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
;
Huz his firstborn
, and Buz
his brother
, and Kemuel
the father
of Aram
,
And Chesed, and Hazo
, and Pildash
, and Jidlaph
, and Bethuel
.
And Bethuel begat
Rebekah
: these eight
Milcah
did bear
to Nahor
, Abraham's
brother
.
And his concubine, whose name
was Reumah
, she bare
also Tebah
, and Gaham
, and Thahash
, and Maachah
.
