Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham ,
and said to him , "
Abraham !"
And he said , "
Here I am ."
*
Then He said , "
Take now your son ,
your only son 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 ."
*
So 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 .
*
Then on the third day Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place afar off .
*
And Abraham said to his young men , "
Stay here with the donkey ;
the lad and I will go yonder and worship ,
and we will come back to you ."
*
So 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 .
*
But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said , "
My father !"
And he said , "
Here I am ,
my son ."
Then he said , "
Look ,
the fire and the wood ,
but where is the lamb for a burnt offering ?"
*
And Abraham said , "
My son ,
God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering ."
So the two of them went together .
*
Then 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 .
*
And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son .
*
But the Angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said , "
Abraham ,
Abraham !"
So he said , "
Here I am ."
*
And He said , "
Do not lay your hand on the lad ,
or do anything to him ;
for now I know that you fear God ,
since you have not withheld your son ,
your only son ,
from Me ."
