< Genesis 22 >

1 And it was after the things these and God he put to [the] test Abraham and he said to him O Abraham and he said here [am] I.
Now after these things, God put Abraham to the test, and said to him, Abraham; and he said, Here am I.
2 And he said take please (son your *LA(bh)*) only [son] your whom you love Isaac and go for yourself to [the] land of Moriah and offer up him there to a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell to you.
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.
3 And he rose early Abraham in the morning and he saddled donkey his and he took two of servants his with him and Isaac son his and he cut wood of burnt offering and he arose and he went to the place which he had said to him God.
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.
4 On the day third and he lifted up Abraham eyes his and he saw the place from a distance.
And on the third day, Abraham, lifting up his eyes, saw the place a long way off.
5 And he said Abraham to servants his remain for yourselves here with the donkey and I and the lad we will go to there so we may bow down and we will return to you.
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.
6 And he took Abraham [the] wood of the burnt offering and he put [it] on Isaac son his and he took in hand his the fire and the knife and they went [the] two of them together.
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.
7 And he said Isaac to Abraham father his and he said O father my and he said here [am] I O son my and he said here! the fire and the wood and where? [is] the sheep for a burnt offering.
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?
8 And he said Abraham God he will see for himself the sheep for a burnt offering O son my and they went [the] two of them together.
And Abraham said, God himself will give the lamb for the burned offering: so they went on together.
9 And they came to the place which he had said to him God and he built there Abraham the altar and he arranged the wood and he bound Isaac son his and he put him on the altar from above the wood.
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.
10 And he stretched out Abraham hand his and he took the knife to slaughter son his.
And stretching out his hand, Abraham took the knife to put his son to death.
11 And he called to him [the] angel of Yahweh from the heavens and he said O Abraham - Abraham and he said here [am] I.
But the voice of the angel of the Lord came from heaven, saying, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
12 And he said may not you stretch out hand your against the lad and may not you do to him anything for - now I know that [are one] fearing God you and not you have withheld son your only [son] your from me.
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.
13 And he lifted up Abraham eyes his and he saw and there! a ram behind it was caught in the thicket by horns its and he went Abraham and he took the ram and he offered up it to a burnt offering in place of son his.
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.
14 And he called Abraham [the] name of the place that Yahweh - he will see that it is said this day on [the] mountain of Yahweh it will be seen.
And Abraham gave that place the name Yahweh-yireh: as it is said to this day, In the mountain the Lord is seen.
15 And he called [the] angel of Yahweh to Abraham a second [time] from the heavens.
And the voice of the angel of the Lord came to Abraham a second time from heaven,
16 And he said by myself I swear [the] utterance of Yahweh that because that you have done the thing this and not you have withheld son your only [son] your.
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,
17 For surely I will bless you and certainly I will increase offspring your like [the] stars of the heavens and like the sand which [is] on [the] shore of the sea so may take possession of offspring your [the] gate of enemies its.
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;
18 And they will bless themselves by offspring your all [the] nations of the earth consequence that you have listened to voice my.
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.
19 And he returned Abraham to servants his and they arose and they went together to Beer Sheba and he dwelt Abraham in Beer Sheba.
Then Abraham went back to his young men and they went together to Beer-sheba, the place where Abraham was living.
20 And it was after the things these and it was told to Abraham saying there! she has borne Milcah also she children to Nahor brother your.
After these things, Abraham had news that Milcah, the wife of his brother Nahor, had given birth to children;
21 Uz firstborn his and Buz brother his and Kemuel [the] father of Aram.
Uz the oldest, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel, the father of Aram,
22 And Kesed and Hazo and Pildash and Jidlaph and Bethuel.
And Chesed and Hazo and Pildash and Jidlaph and Bethuel.
23 And Bethuel he fathered Rebekah eight [sons] these she bore Milcah to Nahor [the] brother of Abraham.
Bethuel was the father of Rebekah: these eight were the children of Milcah and Nahor, Abraham's brother.
24 And concubine his and name her [was] Reumah and she bore also she Tebah and Gaham and Tahash and Maacah.
And his servant Reumah gave birth to Tebah and Gaham and Tahash and Maacah.
