And it came to pass after[H310] these things[H1697], that God[H430] did tempt[H5254]Abraham[H85], and said[H559] unto him, Abraham[H85]: and he said[H559], Behold, here I am.
2
And he said[H559], Take now[H3947] thy son[H1121], thine only[H3173]son[H1121]Isaac[H3327], whom thou lovest[H157], and get thee[H3212] into the land[H776] of Moriah[H4179]; and offer him[H5927] there for a burnt offering[H5930] upon one[H259] of the mountains[H2022] which I will tell[H559]thee[H3212] of.
3
And Abraham[H85] rose up[H6965]early[H7925] in the morning[H1242], and saddled[H2280] his ass[H2543], and took[H3947]two[H8147] of his young men[H5288] with him, and Isaac[H3327] his son[H1121], and clave[H1234] the wood[H6086] for the burnt offering[H5930], and rose up[H6965], and went[H3212] unto the place[H4725] of which God[H430] had told[H559] him.
4
Then on the third[H7992]day[H3117]Abraham[H85] lifted up[H5375] his eyes[H5869], and saw[H7200] the place[H4725] afar off[H7350].
5
And Abraham[H85]said[H559] unto his young men[H5288], Abide[H3427] ye here with the ass[H2543]; and I and the lad[H5288] will go[H3212]yonder[H3541] and worship[H7812], and come again[H7725] to you.
6
And Abraham[H85]took[H3947] the wood[H6086] of the burnt offering[H5930], and laid[H7760] it upon Isaac[H3327] his son[H1121]; and he took[H3947] the fire[H784] in his hand[H3027], and a knife[H3979]; and they went[H3212]both[H8147] of them together[H3162].
7
And Isaac[H3327]spake[H559] unto Abraham[H85] his father[H1], and said[H559], My father[H1]: and he said[H559], Here am I, my son[H1121]. And he said[H559], Behold the fire[H784] and the wood[H6086]: but where is the lamb[H7716] for a burnt offering?[H5930]
8
And Abraham[H85]said[H559], My son[H1121], God[H430] will provide[H7200] himself a lamb[H7716] for a burnt offering[H5930]: so they went[H3212] both of them[H8147]together[H3162].
9
And they came[H935] to the place[H4725] which God[H430] had told[H559] him of; and Abraham[H85]built[H1129] an altar[H4196] there, and laid[H6186] the wood[H6086] in order[H6186], and bound[H6123]Isaac[H3327] his son[H1121], and laid[H7760] him on the altar[H4196]upon[H4605] the wood[H6086].
10
And Abraham[H85] stretched forth[H7971] his hand[H3027], and took[H3947] the knife[H3979] to slay[H7819] his son[H1121].
11
And the angel[H4397] of the LORD[H3068]called[H7121] unto him out of heaven[H8064], and said[H559], Abraham[H85], Abraham[H85]: and he said[H559], Here am I.
12
And he said[H559], Lay[H7971]not[H3808] thine hand[H3027]upon[H413] the lad[H5288], neither do thou[H6213] any thing[H3972] unto him: for now[H6258] I know[H3045] that thou[H6213]fearest[H3373]God[H430], seeing thou[H6213] hast not[H3808]withheld[H2820] thy son[H1121], thine only[H3173]son[H1121] from me.
13
And Abraham[H85] lifted up[H5375] his eyes[H5869], and looked[H7200], and behold behind[H310] him a ram[H352]caught[H270] in a thicket[H5442] by his horns[H7161]: and Abraham[H85]went[H3212] and took[H3947] the ram[H352], and offered him up[H5927] for a burnt offering[H5930] in the stead[H8478] of his son[H1121].
14
And Abraham[H85]called[H7121] the name[H8034] of that place[H4725]Jehovahjireh[H3070]: as[H834] it is said[H559] to this day[H3117], In the mount[H2022] of the LORD[H3068] it shall be seen[H7200].
15
And the angel[H4397] of the LORD[H3068]called[H7121] unto Abraham[H85] out of heaven[H8064] the second time[H8145],
16
And said[H559], By myself have I sworn[H7650], saith[H5002] the LORD[H3068], for because[H3282] thou hast done[H6213] this thing[H1697], and hast not[H3808]withheld[H2820] thy son[H1121], thine only[H3173]son[H1121]:
17
That in blessing[H1288] I will bless[H1288] thee, and in multiplying[H7235] I will multiply[H7235] thy seed[H2233] as the stars[H3556] of the heaven[H8064], and as the sand[H2344] which is upon the sea[H3220]shore[H8193]; and thy seed[H2233] shall possess[H3423] the gate[H8179] of his enemies[H341];
18
And in thy seed[H2233] shall all the nations[H1471] of the earth[H776] be blessed[H1288]; because[H834] thou hast obeyed[H8085] my voice[H6963].
19
So Abraham[H85]returned[H7725] unto his young men[H5288], and they rose up[H6965] and went[H3212]together[H3162] to Beersheba[H884]; and Abraham[H85]dwelt[H3427] at Beersheba[H884].
20
And it came to pass after[H310] these things[H1697], that it was told[H5046]Abraham[H85], saying[H559], Behold, Milcah[H4435], she hath also born[H3205]children[H1121] unto thy brother[H251]Nahor[H5152];
21Huz[H5780] his firstborn[H1060], and Buz[H938] his brother[H251], and Kemuel[H7055] the father[H1] of Aram[H758],
22
And Chesed[H3777], and Hazo[H2375], and Pildash[H6394], and Jidlaph[H3044], and Bethuel[H1328].
23
And Bethuel[H1328]begat[H3205]Rebekah[H7259]: these eight[H8083]Milcah[H4435] did bear[H3205] to Nahor[H5152], Abraham's brother[H251].
24
And his concubine[H6370], whose name[H8034] was Reumah[H7208], she bare[H3205] also Tebah[H2875], and Gaham[H1514], and Thahash[H8477], and Maachah[H4601].
