And after these things God did proue Abraham, and said vnto him, Abraham. Who answered, 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, 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.
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.
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.
4 On the day third and he lifted up Abraham eyes his and he saw the place from a distance.
Then the third day Abraham lift vp his eyes, and sawe the place afarre 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 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.
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.
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.
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 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?
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.
Then Abraham answered, My sonne, God will prouide him a lambe for a burnt offering: so they went both 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 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.
10 And he stretched out Abraham hand his and he took the knife to slaughter son his.
And Abraham stretching forth his hand, tooke the knife to kill his sonne.
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.

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.
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.
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 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.
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 called the name of that place, Iehouah-ijreh. as it is said this day, In the mount will the Lord be seene.
15 And he called [the] angel of Yahweh to Abraham a second [time] from the heavens.
And the Angel of the Lord cryed vnto Abraham from heauen the second time,
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.
And saide, By my selfe haue I sworne (saith ye Lord) because thou hast done this thing, and hast not spared thine onely sonne,
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.
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.
18 And they will bless themselves by offspring your all [the] nations of the earth consequence that you have listened to voice my.
And in thy seede shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voyce.
