Genesis 22

After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.” He said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about.” Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men and his son Isaac with him. He split the wood for the burnt offering, then rose and went to the place God had told him about. On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from a distance. Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there and worship, and we will return to you.” Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and laid it on his son Isaac. He took the fire and the knife in his hand, and the two of them went on together. Isaac spoke to his father Abraham and said, “My father!” Abraham replied, “Here I am, my son.” Isaac said, “Here are the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” Abraham said, “God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together. They came to the place God had told him about, and Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar on top of the wood. Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son. But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.” He said, “Do not lay your hand on the boy 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.” Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw a ram behind him, caught in a thicket by its horns. Abraham went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son. Abraham called that place “The LORD Will Provide.” That is why it is said to this day, “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.” The angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time from heaven and said, “By myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will surely bless you and greatly multiply your offspring like the stars of heaven and like the sand on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gate of their enemies. In your offspring all the nations of the earth will invoke blessings for themselves, because you have obeyed my voice.” Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose and went together to Beersheba, and Abraham lived at Beersheba. After these things Abraham was told, “Milcah too has borne sons to your brother Nahor: Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram, Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.” Bethuel fathered Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother. His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
