1 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. 2 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. 3 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. 4 Then on the third day Abra­ham lift­ed up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. 5 And Abra­ham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yon­der and wor­ship, and come again to you. 6 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; and they went both of them to­geth­er. 7 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? 8 And Abra­ham said, My son, God will pro­vide him­self a lamb for a burnt of­fer­ing: so they went both of them to­geth­er. 9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; 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 And the an­gel of the LORD called unto him out of heav­en, and said, Abra­ham, Abra­ham: and he said, Here am I. 12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, 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. 13 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. 14 And Abra­ham called the name of that place Je­ho­vahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen. 15 And the an­gel of the LORD called unto Abra­ham out of heav­en the sec­ond time, 16 And said, By my­self have I sworn, saith the LORD, for be­cause thou hast done this thing, and hast not with­held thy son, thine only son: 17 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; 18 And in thy seed shall all the na­tions of the earth be blessed; be­cause thou hast obeyed my voice. 19 So Abra­ham re­turned unto 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, she hath also born chil­dren unto thy broth­er Na­hor; 21 Huz his first­born, and Buz his broth­er, and Ke­muel the fa­ther of Aram, 22 And Chesed, and Ha­zo, and Pil­dash, and Jid­laph, and Bethuel. 23 And Bethuel be­gat Re­bekah: these eight Milc­ah did bear to Na­hor, Abraham's broth­er. 24 And his con­cu­bine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Ga­ham, and Tha­hash, and Maachah.
