God commands Abraham to kill his son Isaac
1 It happened after these things, that God tried Abraham, and said to him, Abraham! And he said, Here I am.
2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom you love, and get thee to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell you.
3 So Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place that God had told him.
4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place afar off.
5 And Abraham said to his young men, Abide ye here with the ass, and I and the lad will go yonder; and having worshiped again to you.
6 And Abraham took the wood for the holocaust, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire and the knife in his hand, and were both together.
7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father and said, My father! And he said, Here I am, my son! And he said, Behold the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
8 And Abraham said: God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering, my son. So they went both together.
9 And they came to the place which God had told him, 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.
10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand and took the knife to slay his son;
11 But the angel of the Lord brandou to him from heaven and said, Abraham, Abraham! And he said, Here I am.
12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only.
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a ram behind him caught by its horns in a thicket ;; and Abraham went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering instead of his son.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place, the Lord will provide; it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.
15 And the angel of the Lord brandou to Abraham a second time from heaven,
16 And said, By myself I have sworn, saith the Lord: Because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only,
17 What will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies.
18 And in thy seed shall be blessed all the nations of the earth; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
19 Then Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah also gave children to your brother Nahor:
21 Uz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Haran
22 And Quésede, and Hazo, and Pildash and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 And Bethuel begot Rebekah. These eight Milcah gave Nahor, Abraham's brother.
24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she gave him the Tebah, and Gaão and Thahash and Maacah.
