Some
time
later
God tested
Abraham and said
to
him, “
Abraham !”
“
Here I
am ,”
he
answered
.
And
it
cometh
to
pass
after
these
things
that
God hath
tried
Abraham ,
and saith
unto
him, `
Abraham ;'
and
he
saith,
`
Here `
am '
I
. '
“
Take your
son
, ”
God
said
, “your
only
son Isaac
, whom you
love
, and go to
the land of Moriah .
Offer
him there as
a burnt offering on one of the mountains ,
which I will
show
you
. ”
And
He
saith,
`
Take, I
pray
thee
, thy
son, thine
only
one,
whom thou
hast
loved
, even
Isaac,
and go for
thyself
unto
the land of Moriah ,
and
cause
him to
ascend
there for
a burnt -
offering on one of the mountains of
which I speak
unto
thee
. '
So
Abraham got
up
early the next
morning, saddled
his donkey
, and took
along
two of his servants
and his son Isaac.
He split
the wood for
a
burnt offering and set
out
for
the place God had
designated
.
And
Abraham riseth
early in
the morning, and
saddleth
his ass
, and taketh
two of his young
men
with
him,
and Isaac
his son ,
and
he cleaveth
the wood of
the
burnt -
offering ,
and riseth
and
goeth
unto
the place of
which
God hath
spoken
to
him
.
On the third day Abraham looked
up and saw
the place in
the
distance.
On the third day --
Abraham lifteth
up his
eyes,
and seeth
the place from
afar;
“Stay
here with the donkey
, ”
Abraham
told
his
servants.
“The
boy
and I will
go over
there
to
worship, and then
we
will
return
to
you. ”
and
Abraham
saith
unto
his
young
men,
`Remain
by
yourselves
here with the ass
, and I and
the
youth
go yonder
and
worship, and turn
back
unto
you. '
Abraham took
the wood for
the burnt offering and placed
it
on his son Isaac.
He himself
carried
the fire and the sacrificial
knife ,
and the
two
of them walked
on
together.
And
Abraham taketh
the wood of
the burnt -
offering ,
and placeth
on Isaac
his son ,
and
he taketh
in
his
hand
the fire ,
and the knife ;
and they
go
on
both
of them together.
Then
Isaac said
to
his father Abraham
, “
My father !”
“
Here I
am, my son ,”
he
replied
. “
The fire and the wood are
here
, ”
said
Isaac,
“but
where is
the lamb for the
burnt offering? ”
And
Isaac speaketh
unto
Abraham
his father, and
saith,
`
My father ,'
and
he
saith,
`
Here `
am '
I
, my son. '
And
he
saith,
`Lo,
the fire and the wood, and
where the lamb for a
burnt -
offering? '
Abraham answered
, “
God Himself
will
provide the lamb for the
burnt offering, my son .”
And the
two
walked
on together.
and
Abraham saith
, `
God doth
provide for
Himself
the lamb for a
burnt -
offering, my son ;'
and they
go
on both
of
them
together.
When
they arrived
at
the place God had
designated
, Abraham built
the altar there
and arranged
the wood .
He
bound
his son Isaac
and placed
him on
the altar ,
atop
the wood .
And
they come
in
unto
the place of
which
God hath
spoken
to
him
, and
there
Abraham buildeth
the altar ,
and arrangeth
the wood ,
and
bindeth
Isaac
his son ,
and placeth
him upon
the altar above
the wood ;
Then
Abraham reached
out
his hand and took
the knife to slaughter his son.
and
Abraham putteth
forth
his hand ,
and taketh
the knife --
to slaughter his son.
Just
then
the angel
of the
LORD
called
out
to
him from heaven
, “
Abraham, Abraham !”
“
Here I
am ,”
he
replied.
And
the messenger
of Jehovah
calleth
unto
him from the
heavens
, and
saith,
`
Abraham, Abraham ;'
and
he
saith,
`
Here `
am '
I;'
“Do
not lay
a
hand on
the boy
or
do anything to him, ”
said
the
angel,
“
for now I know
that you
fear
God, since
you
have
not withheld your
only
son from me. ”
and
He
saith,
`Put
not forth
thine
hand unto
the youth,
nor
do anything to him, for now I have
known
that thou
art
fearing
God, and
hast
not withheld thy
son ,
thine
only
one,
from Me. '
Then
Abraham looked
up and saw
behind
him
a ram in a thicket ,
caught
by its horns .
So
he
went
and took
the ram and offered
it as
a burnt offering in
place
of his son .
And
Abraham lifteth
up his
eyes,
and looketh,
and
lo,
a ram behind,
seized
in a thicket by its horns ;
and Abraham
goeth,
and
taketh
the ram ,
and causeth
it to
ascend
for
a burnt -
offering instead
of his son ;
And Abraham called
that place The
LORD
Will
Provide.
So
to
this
day
it is said ,
“On
the
mountain
of
the LORD
it
will
be
provided
. ”
and Abraham calleth
the
name
of
that place `Jehovah-Jireh,'
because
it is said this
day
in
the mount,
`Jehovah
doth
provide
. '
And the angel
of the
LORD
called
to
Abraham from
heaven
a second time,
And the messenger
of Jehovah
calleth
unto
Abraham a second time from
the
heavens
,
saying
, “
By Myself I have sworn ,
declares
the LORD,
that because you
have
done this and have
not withheld your
only
son,
and
saith
, `
By Myself I have sworn --
the affirmation
of
Jehovah
--
that because thou
hast
done this thing,
and hast
not withheld thy
son, thine
only
one
--
I will
surely
bless you
, and I will
multiply your
descendants
like
the
stars in
the sky
and the
sand on the seashore.
Your
descendants
will
possess the gates
of their
enemies .
that
blessing
I bless thee
, and multiplying
I multiply thy
seed
as
stars of
the heavens,
and as
sand which
`is'
on the sea-shore;
and
thy
seed
doth
possess the gate
of his
enemies ;
And through
your
offspring
all nations of the earth will
be
blessed
, because you
have
obeyed
My voice. ”
and blessed
themselves
in
thy
seed
have
all nations of the earth, because that
thou
hast
hearkened
to
My voice. '
Abraham went
back to
his servants
, and they got
up
and set
out
together for
Beersheba.
And Abraham settled
in Beersheba
.
And
Abraham turneth
back unto
his young
men
, and they rise
and go
together unto
Beer-Sheba;
and Abraham dwelleth
in Beer-Sheba
.
Some
time
later,
Abraham was
told
, “
Milcah has
also
borne sons to your
brother
Nahor:
And
it
cometh
to
pass
after
these
things
that
it
is
declared
to
Abraham, saying,
`Lo,
Milcah hath
borne ,
even
she,
sons to Nahor thy
brother
:
Uz
the
firstborn
, his brother Buz,
Kemuel (the
father of Aram )
,
Huz
his
first-born
, and
Buz
his brother ;
and
Kemuel father of Aram,
Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel .”
and
Chesed, and
Hazo, and
Pildash, and
Jidlaph, and Bethuel ;
And Bethuel became
the
father
of
Rebekah .
Milcah
bore
these eight sons
to Abraham’s
brother
Nahor .
and Bethuel hath
begotten
Rebekah ;'
these eight hath
Milcah
borne
to Nahor ,
Abraham's
brother;
Moreover,
Nahor’s
concubine, whose name was
Reumah, bore
Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah
.
and
his
concubine, whose name `is'
Reumah, she
also
hath
borne
Tebah, and
Gaham, and
Tahash, and Maachah
.
