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 it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and he said unto him, Abraham, and he said, Behold, 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 now thy son, thy only one, whom thou lovest, even Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt-offering upon one of the mountains which I tell thee of.
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.
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 clave the wood for the burnt-offering, and arose, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
4 And on the third day, Abraham, lifting up his eyes, saw the place a long way off.
On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar 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 Abraham said unto his young men, abide ye here with the ass, and I and the lad will go yonder, and we will worship, and then come again to 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.
And Abraham took the wood for the burnt-offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took in his hand the fire and the knife; and they went both of them 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?
And Isaac spoke unto Abraham his father, and said, My father; and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold, here is the fire and the wood; but where is the lamb for a burnt-offering?
8 And Abraham said, God himself will give the lamb for the burned offering: so they went on together.
And Abraham said, God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son; so they went both of them 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 they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built there an altar, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar above the wood.
10 And stretching out his hand, Abraham took the knife to put his son to death.
And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
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 unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham; and he said, 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.
And he said, Lay not thy hand upon the lad, neither do thou the least unto him; for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing that thou hast not withheld thy son, thy only one, from me.
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 lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, there was a ram that was afterward 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.
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, Adonai-yireh: as it is said to this day, On the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.
15 And the voice of the angel of the Lord came to Abraham a second time from heaven,
And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham the second time out of heaven,
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 said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, since, because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thy only one:
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;
That I will greatly bless thee, and I will exceedingly 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;
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 seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because that thou hast obeyed my voice.
19 Then Abraham went back to his young men and they went together to Beer-sheba, the place where Abraham was living.
And Abraham returned unto his young men; and they rose up, and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt in Beer-sheba.
20 After these things, Abraham had news that Milcah, the wife of his brother Nahor, had given birth to children;
And it came to pass after these things, that it was told to Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she also, hath born children unto Nachor thy brother;
21 Uz the oldest, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel, the father of Aram,
'Uz his first born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 And Chesed and Hazo and Pildash and Jidlaph and Bethuel.
And Kesed, and Chazo, and Pildash, and Yidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 Bethuel was the father of Rebekah: these eight were the children of Milcah and Nahor, Abraham's brother.
And Bethuel begat Rebekah; these eight did Milcah bear to Nachor, Abraham's brother.
24 And his servant Reumah gave birth to Tebah and Gaham and Tahash and Maacah.
And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also bore Tebach, and Gacham, and Thachash, and Maachah.
