Genesis 22
1 It happened after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham, Abraham." He said, "Here I am."
Some time later God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he answered.
2 He said, "Now take your son, your only one, whom you love, even Isaac, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of."
“Take your son,” God said, “your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.”
3 Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.
So Abraham got up early the next morning, saddled his donkey, and took along two of his servants and his son Isaac. He split the wood for a burnt offering and set out for the place God had designated.
4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.
5 Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there, and we will worship, and come back to you."
“Stay here with the donkey,” Abraham told his servants. “The boy and I will go over there to worship, and then we will return to you.”
6 Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together.
Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac. He himself carried the fire and the sacrificial knife, and the two of them walked on together.
7 Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, "My father?" He said, "Here I am, my son." He said, "Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"
Then Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father!” “Here I am, my son,” he replied. “The fire and the wood are here,” said Isaac, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
8 Abraham said, "God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they both went together.
Abraham answered, “God Himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two walked on together.
9 They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood, and bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar, on top of the wood.
When they arrived at the place God had designated, Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood. He bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar, atop the wood.
10 Abraham reached out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.
11 But an angel of God called to him out of the sky, and said, "Abraham, Abraham." And he said, "Here I am."
Just then the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham, Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.
12 He said, "Do not lay your hand on the boy, neither do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only one, from me."
“Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him,” said the angel, “for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your only son from me.”
13 And Abraham looked up and saw behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up as a burnt offering instead of his son.
Then Abraham looked up and saw behind him a ram in a thicket, caught by its horns. So he went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.
14 Abraham called the name of that place Elohim Yireh. As it is said to this day, "On the mountain, God will provide."
And Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. So to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.”
15 The angel of God called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time,
16 and said, "I have sworn by myself," says the LORD, "because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only one, from me,
saying, “By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your only son,
17 I will indeed bless you, and I will greatly multiply your offspring like the stars of the sky, and like the sand which is on the seashore; and your offspring will possess the gate of their enemies.
I will surely bless you, and I will multiply your descendants like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will possess the gates of their enemies.
18 And through your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice."
And through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”
19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.
Abraham went back to his servants, and they got up and set out together for Beersheba. And Abraham settled in Beersheba.
20 It happened after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, "Look, Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
Some time later, Abraham was told, “Milcah has also borne sons to your brother Nahor:
21 Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
Uz the firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel (the father of Aram),
22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel."
Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
And Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight sons to Abraham’s brother Nahor.
24 His secondary wife, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
Moreover, Nahor’s concubine, whose name was Reumah, bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
