Genesis 22
1 And after these things God did proue Abraham, and said vnto him, Abraham. Who answered, Here am I.
It came about after these things that God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” Abraham said, “Here I am.”
2 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.
Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains there, which I will tell you about.”
3 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.
So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, along with Isaac his son. He cut the wood for the burnt offering, then set out on his journey to the place that God had told him about.
4 Then the third day Abraham lift vp his eyes, and sawe the place afarre off,
On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place afar off.
5 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.
Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there. We will worship and come again to you.”
6 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.
Then Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and put it on Isaac his son. He took in his own hand the fire and the knife; and they went both of them together.
7 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?
Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father,” and he said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “See, here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
8 Then Abraham answered, My sonne, God will prouide him a lambe for a burnt offering: so they went both together.
Abraham said, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” So they went on, both of them together.
9 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.
When they came to the place that God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and laid the wood on it. Then he bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.
10 And Abraham stretching forth his hand, tooke the knife to kill his sonne.
Abraham reached out with his hand and took up the knife to kill his son.
11 But the Angel of the Lord called vnto him from heauen, saying, Abraham, Abraham. And he answered, Here am I.
Then the angel of Yahweh called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” and he said, “Here I am.”
12 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.
He said, “Do not lay your hand upon the lad, nor do anything to harm him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing that you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”
13 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.
Abraham looked up and behold, behind him was a ram caught in the bushes by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up as a burnt offering instead of his son.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place, Iehouah-ijreh. as it is said this day, In the mount will the Lord be seene.
So Abraham called that place, “Yahweh will provide,” and it is said to this day, “On the mountain of Yahweh it will be provided.”
15 And the Angel of the Lord cryed vnto Abraham from heauen the second time,
The angel of Yahweh called to Abraham a second time from heaven
16 And saide, By my selfe haue I sworne (saith ye Lord) because thou hast done this thing, and hast not spared thine onely sonne,
and said—this is Yahweh's declaration—by myself I have sworn that because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
17 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.
I will surely bless you and I will greatly multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the seashore; and your descendants will possess the gate of their enemies.
18 And in thy seede shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voyce.
Through your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.”
19 Then turned Abraham againe vnto his seruants, and they rose vp and went together to Beer-sheba: and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
So Abraham returned to his young men, and they departed and went together to Beersheba, and he lived at Beersheba.
20 And after these things one tolde Abraham, saying, Beholde Milcah, she hath also borne children vnto thy brother Nahor:
It came about after these things that Abraham was told, “Milkah has borne children, as well, to your brother Nahor.”
21 To wit, Vz his eldest sonne, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
They were Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 And Chesed and Hazo, and Pildash, and Iidlaph, and Bethuel.
Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 And Bethuel begate Rebekah: these eight did Milcah beare to Nahor Abrahams brother.
Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These were the eight children that Milkah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
24 And his concubine called Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gahan, and Thahash and Maachah.
His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
