< 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.
And it came to pass after these things that God tempted Abraam, and said to him, Abraam, Abraam; and he said, Lo! I [am here].
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, Take thy son, the beloved one, whom thou hast loved—Isaac, and go into the high land, and offer him there for a whole-burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
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 Abraam rose up in the morning and saddled his ass, and he took with him two servants, and Isaac his son, and having split wood for a whole-burnt-offering, he arose and departed, and came to the place of which God spoke to him,
4 On the day third and he lifted up Abraham eyes his and he saw the place from a distance.
on the third day; and Abraam having lifted up his eyes, saw the place afar 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.
And Abraam said to his servants, Sit ye here with the ass, and I and the lad will proceed thus far, and having worshipped we will return 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 Abraam took the wood of the whole-burnt-offering, and laid it on Isaac his son, and he took into his hands both the fire and the knife, and the two went 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.
And Isaac said to Abraam his father, Father. And he said, What is it, son? And he said, Behold the fire and the wood, where is the sheep for a whole-burnt-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 Abraam said, God will provide himself a sheep for a whole-burnt-offering, [my] son. And both having gone 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.
came to the place which God spoke of to him; and there Abraam built the altar, and laid the wood on it, and having bound the feet of Isaac his son together, he laid him on the altar upon the wood.
10 And he stretched out Abraham hand his and he took the knife to slaughter son his.
And Abraam stretched forth his hand to take the knife to slay his son.
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.
And an angel of the Lord called him out of heaven, and said, Abraam, Abraam. And he said, Behold, I [am here].
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, Lay not thine hand upon the child, neither do anything to him, for now I know that thou fearest God, and for my sake thou hast not spared thy beloved son.
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 Abraam lifted up his eyes and beheld, and lo! a ram caught by his horns in a plant of Sabec; and Abraam went and took the ram, and offered him up for a whole-burnt-offering in the place of Isaac 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 Abraam called the name of that place, The Lord hath seen; that they might say to-day, In the mount the Lord was seen.
15 And he called [the] angel of Yahweh to Abraham a second [time] from the heavens.
And an angel of the Lord called Abraam the second time out of heaven, saying, I have sworn by myself, says the Lord, because thou hast done this thing, and on my account hast not spared thy beloved son,
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.
surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which is by the shore of the sea, and thy seed shall inherit the cities of their enemies.
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.
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast hearkened to my voice.
18 And they will bless themselves by offspring your all [the] nations of the earth consequence that you have listened to voice my.
And Abraam returned to his servants, and they arose and went together to the well of the oath; and Abraam dwelt at the well of the oath.
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.
And it came to pass after these things, that it was reported to Abraam, saying, Behold, Melcha herself too has born sons to Nachor thy brother,
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.
Uz the first-born, and Baux his brother, and Camuel the father of the Syrians, and Chazad, and
21 Uz firstborn his and Buz brother his and Kemuel [the] father of Aram.

22 And Kesed and Hazo and Pildash and Jidlaph and Bethuel.
