* And it came to pass after these things , that God did tempt Abraham , and he said unto him , Abraham , and he said , Behold , here am I . * And he said : Take now thy son , thy only one , whom thou lovest , even Isaac , and get thee into the land of Moriah ; and offer him there for a burnt –offering upon one of the mountains which I 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 he clave the wood for the burnt –offering , and arose , and went unto the place of which God had told him . * 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 we will worship , and then come again to you . * And Abraham took the wood for the burnt –offering , and laid it upon Isaac his son ; and he took in his hand the fire and the knife ; and they went both of them together . * And Isaac spoke unto Abraham his father , and said , My father ; and he said , Here am I , my son . And he said , Behold , here is the fire and the wood ; but where is the lamb for a burnt –offering ? * And Abraham said , God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt –offering , my son ; so they went both of them together . * And they came to the place which God had told him of ; and Abraham built there an altar , and laid the wood in order , and bound Isaac his son , and laid him on the altar above the wood . * And Abraham stretched forth his hand , and took the knife to slay his son . * But 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 thy hand upon the lad , neither do thou the least unto him ; for now I know that thou fearest God , seeing that thou hast not withheld thy son , thy only one , from me . * And Abraham lifted up his eyes , and looked , and behold , there was a ram that was afterward 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 , Adonai –yireh : as it is said to this day , On the mount of the Lord it shall be seen . * And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham the second time out of heaven , * And said , By myself have I sworn , saith the Lord , since , because thou hast done this thing , and hast not withheld thy son , thy only one : * That I will greatly bless thee , and I will exceedingly multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven , and as the sand which is upon the seashore ; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies ; * And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed ; because that thou hast obeyed my voice . * And Abraham returned unto his young men ; and they rose up , and went together to Beer –sheba ; and Abraham dwelt in Beer –sheba . * And it came to pass after these things , that it was told to Abraham , saying , Behold , Milcah , she also , hath born children unto Nachor thy brother ; * ‘Uz his first born , and Buz his brother , and Kemuel the father of Aram , * And Kesed , and Chazo , and Pildash , and Yidlaph , and Bethuel . * And Bethuel begat Rebekah ; these eight did Milcah bear to Nachor , Abraham ’s brother . * And his concubine , whose name was Reumah , she also bore Tebach , and Gacham , and Thachash , and Maachah .
