* 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 . * 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 . * 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 . * Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes , and saw the place afar off . * 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 . * 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 . * 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 ? * And Abraham said , My son , God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering : so they went both of them together . * 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 . * And Abraham stretched forth his hand , and took the knife to slay his son . * And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven , and said , Abraham , Abraham : and he said , Here am I . * 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 . * 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 . * 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 .
