vw@Genesis:22:1 @ And it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, Abraham! And he said, Here am I.

vw@Genesis:22:2 @ And He said, Take now your son, your only one Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.

vw@Genesis:22:3 @ And Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.

vw@Genesis:22:4 @ And on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from a distance.

vw@Genesis:22:5 @ And Abraham said to his young men, Stay here with the donkey; and the lad and I will go over there and do homage, and we will come back to you.

vw@Genesis:22:6 @ And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and the two of them went together.

vw@Genesis:22:7 @ And Isaac spoke to 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?

vw@Genesis:22:8 @ And Abraham said, My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering. So the two of them went together.

vw@Genesis:22:9 @ And they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood.

vw@Genesis:22:10 @ And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.

vw@Genesis:22:11 @ And the Angel of Jehovah called to him from the heavens and said, Abraham! Abraham! And he said, Here am I.

vw@Genesis:22:12 @ And He said, Do not lay your hand upon the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only one from Me.

vw@Genesis:22:13 @ And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. And Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.

vw@Genesis:22:14 @ And Abraham called the name of the place, Jehovah Jireh; as it is said to this day, In the Mount of Jehovah it shall be seen.

vw@Genesis:22:15 @ And the Angel of Jehovah called to Abraham a second time out of the heavens,

vw@Genesis:22:16 @ and said: By Myself I have sworn, says Jehovah, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only one;

vw@Genesis:22:17 @ that in blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore. And your Seed shall possess the gate of His enemies.

vw@Genesis:22:18 @ And in your Seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.

vw@Genesis:22:19 @ So Abraham returned to his young men, and they arose and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.

vw@Genesis:22:20 @ And it came to pass after these things that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor:

vw@Genesis:22:21 @ Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,

vw@Genesis:22:22 @ Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.

vw@Genesis:22:23 @ And Bethuel begot Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abrahams brother.

vw@Genesis:22:24 @ And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Thahash, and Maachah.
