Genesis 22
1. And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt * Abraham, and said * unto him, Abraham: 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.
3. And Abraham rose up early * in the morning, and saddled * his ass, and took * two of his young 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.
4. Then on the third day Abraham lifted up * his eyes, and saw * the place afar off.
5. And Abraham said * unto his young men, Abide * ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go * yonder and worship * , and come again * to you.
6. And Abraham took * the wood of 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.
7. And Isaac spake * unto Abraham his father, and said * , My father: 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.
11. And the angel of the LORD called * unto him out of heaven, and said * , Abraham, Abraham: and he said * , Here am I.
12. And he said * , Lay * not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou * 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. And Abraham lifted up * his eyes,and looked * , and behold behind 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.
14. And Abraham called * the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said * to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen * .
15. And the angel of the LORD called * unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
16. And said * , By myself have I sworn * , saith * the LORD, 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 * ; because thou hast obeyed * my voice.
19. So Abraham returned * unto his young men, and they rose up * and went * together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt * at Beersheba.
20. And it came to pass after these things, that it was told * Abraham, saying * , Behold, Milcah, she hath also born * children unto thy brother Nahor;
21. Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
22. And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash,and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23. And Bethuel begat * Rebekah:these eight Milcah did bear * to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
24. And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare * also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
