Genesis 22
1 Now after these things, God put Abraham to the test, and said to him, Abraham; and he said, Here am I.
And after these things God did proue Abraham, and said vnto him, Abraham. Who answered, 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.
And he said, Take nowe thine onely sonne Izhak whom thou louest, and get thee vnto the land of Moriah, and offer him there for a burnt offering vpon one of the mountaines, which I will shewe thee.
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.
Then Abraham rose vp early in the morning, and sadled his asse, and tooke two of his seruants with him, and Izhak his sonne, and cloue wood for the burnt offering, and rose vp and went to the place, which God had tolde him.
4 And on the third day, Abraham, lifting up his eyes, saw the place a long way off.
Then the third day Abraham lift vp his eyes, and sawe the place afarre 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.
And said vnto his seruants, Abide you here with the asse: for I and the childe will go yonder and worship, and come againe vnto 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.
Then Abraham tooke the wood of the burnt offering, and layed it vpon Izhak his sonne, and he tooke the fire in his hand, and the knife: and they went both 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?
Then spake Izhak vnto Abraham his father, and said, My father. And he answered, Here am I, my sonne. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood, but where is the lambe for ye burnt offring?
8 And Abraham said, God himself will give the lamb for the burned offering: so they went on together.
Then Abraham answered, My sonne, God will prouide him a lambe for a burnt offering: so they went both 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.
And when they came to the place which God had shewed him, Abraham builded an altar there, and couched ye wood, and bound Izhak his sonne and laid him on the altar vpon the wood.
10 And stretching out his hand, Abraham took the knife to put his son to death.
And Abraham stretching forth his hand, tooke the knife to kill his sonne.
11 But the voice of the angel of the Lord came from heaven, saying, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
But the Angel of the Lord called vnto him from heauen, saying, Abraham, Abraham. And he answered, 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.
Then he said, Lay not thine hand vpon the childe, neither doe any thing vnto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing for my sake thou hast not spared thine onely sonne.
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.
And Abraham lifting vp his eyes, looked: and behold, there was a ramme behind him caught by the hornes in a bush. then Abraham went and tooke the ramme, and offered him vp for a burnt offering in the steade of his sonne.
14 And Abraham gave that place the name Yahweh-yireh: as it is said to this day, In the mountain the Lord is seen.
And Abraham called the name of that place, Iehouah-ijreh. as it is said this day, In the mount will the Lord be seene.
15 And the voice of the angel of the Lord came to Abraham a second time from heaven,
And the Angel of the Lord cryed vnto Abraham from heauen the second time,
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,
And saide, By my selfe haue I sworne (saith ye Lord) because thou hast done this thing, and hast not spared thine onely sonne,
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;
Therefore will I surely blesse thee, and will greatly multiplie thy seede, as the starres of the heauen, and as the sand which is vpon the sea shore, and thy seede shall possesse the gate of his enemies.
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.
And in thy seede shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voyce.
19 Then Abraham went back to his young men and they went together to Beer-sheba, the place where Abraham was living.
Then turned Abraham againe vnto his seruants, and they rose vp and went together to Beer-sheba: and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
20 After these things, Abraham had news that Milcah, the wife of his brother Nahor, had given birth to children;
And after these things one tolde Abraham, saying, Beholde Milcah, she hath also borne children vnto thy brother Nahor:
21 Uz the oldest, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel, the father of Aram,
To wit, Vz his eldest sonne, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 And Chesed and Hazo and Pildash and Jidlaph and Bethuel.
And Chesed and Hazo, and Pildash, and Iidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 Bethuel was the father of Rebekah: these eight were the children of Milcah and Nahor, Abraham's brother.
And Bethuel begate Rebekah: these eight did Milcah beare to Nahor Abrahams brother.
24 And his servant Reumah gave birth to Tebah and Gaham and Tahash and Maacah.
And his concubine called Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gahan, and Thahash and Maachah.
