22:1  And it came to pass after these things, that God tested 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 he cleaved the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up and went unto the place of which God 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 spoke 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, God 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 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.
22:10  And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
22:11  And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here am I.”
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 God, 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 Jehovahjireh [that is, The Lord will provide]; as it is said to this day, “In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.”
22:15  And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time
22:16  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,
22:17  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 seashore; 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 Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
22:20  And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, “Behold Milcah, she hath also borne 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 begot Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
22:24  And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bore also Tebah and Gaham, and Thahash and Maachah.
