drb @Genesis:22:1 @After these things , God tempted Abraham , and said to him : Abraham , Abraham . And he answered : Here I am . drb @Genesis:22:2 @He said to him : Take thy only begotten son Isaac , whom thou lovest , and go into the land of vision : and there thou shalt offer him for a holocaust upon one of the mountains which I will show thee . drb @Genesis:22:3 @So Abraham rising up in the night , saddled his ass : and took with him two young men , and Isaac his son : and when he had cut wood for the holocaust he went his way to the place which God had commanded him . drb @Genesis:22:4 @And on the third day , lifting up his eyes , he saw the place afar off . drb @Genesis:22:5 @And he said to his young men : Stay you here with the ass : I and the boy will go with speed as far as yonder , and after we have worshipped , will return to you . drb @Genesis:22:6 @And he took the wood for the holocaust , and laid it upon Isaac his son : and he himself carried in his hands fire and a sword . And as they two went on together , drb @Genesis:22:7 @Isaac said to his father : My father . And he answered : What wilt thou , son ? Behold , saith he , fire and wood : where is the victim for the holocaust ? drb @Genesis:22:8 @And Abraham said : God will provide himself a victim for an holocaust , my son . So they went on together . drb @Genesis:22:9 @And they came to the place which God had shown him , where he built an altar , and laid the wood in order upon it : and when he had bound Isaac his son , he laid him on the altar upon the pile of wood . drb @Genesis:22:10 @And he put forth his hand and took the sword , to sacrifice his son . drb @Genesis:22:11 @And behold an angel of the Lord from heaven called to him , saying : Abraham , Abraham . And he answered : Here I am . drb @Genesis:22:12 @And he said to him : Lay not thy hand upon the boy , neither do thou any thing to him : now I know that thou fearest God , and hast not spared thy only begotten son for my sake . drb @Genesis:22:13 @Abraham lifted up his eyes , and saw behind his back a ram amongst the briers sticking fast by the horns , which he took and offered for a holocaust instead of his son . drb @Genesis:22:14 @And he called the name of that place , The Lord seeth . Whereupon even to this day it is said : In the mountain the Lord will see . drb @Genesis:22:15 @And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven , saying : drb @Genesis:22:16 @By my own self have I sworn , saith the Lord : because thou hast done this thing , and hast not spared thy only begotten son for my sake : drb @Genesis:22:17 @I will bless thee , and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven , and as the sand that is by the seashore : thy seed shall possess the gates of their enemies . drb @Genesis:22:18 @And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed , because thou hast obeyed my voice . drb @Genesis:22:19 @Abraham returned to his young men , and they went to Bersabee together , and he dwelt there . drb @Genesis:22:20 @After these things , it was told Abraham that Melcha also had borne children to Nachor his brother . drb @Genesis:22:21 @Hus the firstborn , and Buz his brother , and Camuel the father of the Syrians , drb @Genesis:22:22 @And Cased , and Azau , and Pheldas , and Jedlaph , drb @Genesis:22:23 @And Bathuel , of whom was born Rebecca : These eight did Melcha bear to Nachor Abraham 's brother . drb @Genesis:22:24 @And his concubine , named Roma , bore Tabee , and Gaham , and Tahas , and Maacha .
