Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 na #
ar #,
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 ma #
akeleth #;
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 laidthe 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 na #
ar #,
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 Y @
hovah :
as it is said to this day ,
In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen .
*
And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time ,
*
And said ,
By myself have I sworn ,
saith the LORD ,
for because #
H834thou hast done this thing ,
and hast not withheld thy son ,
thine only son :
*
That in blessing I will bless thee ,
and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven ,
and as the sand which is upon the sea shore ;
and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies ;
*
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed ;
because #
H6118thou hast obeyed my voice .
*
So Abraham returned unto his young men na #

and Kemuel the father of Aram ,
