and he said, Behold,
here
I
am.
2
And he said, Take now thy son, thine only
son
Isaac, whom thou
lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of
the mountains which I will tell thee of.

men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went
unto the place of which God had told him.

saw the place afar off.

and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you,

the burnt offering, and laid
it
upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and
they went both of them together.

and he said, Here
am
I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where
is
the lamb
for a burnt offering?
8
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt
offering: so they went both of them together.
9
And they came to the place which God had told him
of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid
him on the altar upon the wood.
10
And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to
slay his son.

And the angel of the L
ORD
called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham,
Abraham: and he said, Here
am
I.

any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son,
thine only
son
from me.
13

him
a
ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for
a burnt offering in the stead of his son.

as it is said
to
this day, In the mount of the L
ORD
it shall be seen.

ORD
called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
16
And said,
By myself have I sworn, saith the L
ORD
, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld
thy son, thine only
son:
17
That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy
seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which
is
upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall
possess the gate of his enemies;
18
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
