1After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”1וַיְהִ֗י אַחַר֙ הַדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה וְהָ֣אֱלֹהִ֔ים נִסָּ֖ה אֶת־ אַבְרָהָ֑ם וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלָ֔יו אַבְרָהָ֖ם וַיֹּ֥אמֶר הִנֵּֽנִי׃
2He said, “Take 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.”2וַיֹּ֡אמֶר קַח־ נָ֠א אֶת־ בִּנְךָ֨ אֶת־ יְחִֽידְךָ֤ אֲשֶׁר־ אָהַ֙בְתָּ֙ אֶת־ יִצְחָ֔ק וְלֶךְ־ לְךָ֔ אֶל־ אֶ֖רֶץ הַמֹּרִיָּ֑ה וְהַעֲלֵ֤הוּ שָׁם֙ לְעֹלָ֔ה עַ֚ל אַחַ֣ד הֶֽהָרִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֖ר אֹמַ֥ר אֵלֶֽיךָ׃
3So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac. And he cut the wood for the burnt offering and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.3וַיַּשְׁכֵּ֨ם אַבְרָהָ֜ם בַּבֹּ֗קֶר וַֽיַּחֲבֹשׁ֙ אֶת־ חֲמֹר֔וֹ וַיִּקַּ֞ח אֶת־ שְׁנֵ֤י נְעָרָיו֙ אִתּ֔וֹ וְאֵ֖ת יִצְחָ֣ק בְּנ֑וֹ וַיְבַקַּע֙ עֲצֵ֣י עֹלָ֔ה וַיָּ֣קָם וַיֵּ֔לֶךְ אֶל־ הַמָּק֖וֹם אֲשֶׁר־ אָֽמַר־ ל֥וֹ הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃
4On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from afar.4בַּיּ֣וֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֗י וַיִּשָּׂ֨א אַבְרָהָ֧ם אֶת־ עֵינָ֛יו וַיַּ֥רְא אֶת־ הַמָּק֖וֹם מֵרָחֹֽק׃
5Then Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey; I and the boy will go over there and worship and come again to you.”5וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אַבְרָהָ֜ם אֶל־ נְעָרָ֗יו שְׁבוּ־ לָכֶ֥ם פֹּה֙ עִֽם־ הַחֲמ֔וֹר וַאֲנִ֣י וְהַנַּ֔עַר נֵלְכָ֖ה עַד־ כֹּ֑ה וְנִֽשְׁתַּחֲוֶ֖ה וְנָשׁ֥וּבָה אֲלֵיכֶֽם׃
6And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. And he took in his hand the fire and the knife. So they went both of them together.6וַיִּקַּ֨ח אַבְרָהָ֜ם אֶת־ עֲצֵ֣י הָעֹלָ֗ה וַיָּ֙שֶׂם֙ עַל־ יִצְחָ֣ק בְּנ֔וֹ וַיִּקַּ֣ח בְּיָד֔וֹ אֶת־ הָאֵ֖שׁ וְאֶת־ הַֽמַּאֲכֶ֑לֶת וַיֵּלְכ֥וּ שְׁנֵיהֶ֖ם יַחְדָּֽו׃
7And Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”7וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יִצְחָ֜ק אֶל־ אַבְרָהָ֤ם אָבִיו֙ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אָבִ֔י וַיֹּ֖אמֶר הִנֶּ֣נִּֽי בְנִ֑י וַיֹּ֗אמֶר הִנֵּ֤ה הָאֵשׁ֙ וְהָ֣עֵצִ֔ים וְאַיֵּ֥ה הַשֶּׂ֖ה לְעֹלָֽה׃
8Abraham said, “God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they went both of them together.8וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אַבְרָהָ֔ם אֱלֹהִ֞ים יִרְאֶה־ לּ֥וֹ הַשֶּׂ֛ה לְעֹלָ֖ה בְּנִ֑י וַיֵּלְכ֥וּ שְׁנֵיהֶ֖ם יַחְדָּֽו׃
9When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built the altar there and laid the wood in order and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.9וַיָּבֹ֗אוּ אֶֽל־ הַמָּקוֹם֮ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אָֽמַר־ ל֣וֹ הָאֱלֹהִים֒ וַיִּ֨בֶן שָׁ֤ם אַבְרָהָם֙ אֶת־ הַמִּזְבֵּ֔חַ וַֽיַּעֲרֹ֖ךְ אֶת־ הָעֵצִ֑ים וַֽיַּעֲקֹד֙ אֶת־ יִצְחָ֣ק בְּנ֔וֹ וַיָּ֤שֶׂם אֹתוֹ֙ עַל־ הַמִּזְבֵּ֔חַ מִמַּ֖עַל לָעֵצִֽים׃
10Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.10וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח אַבְרָהָם֙ אֶת־ יָד֔וֹ וַיִּקַּ֖ח אֶת־ הַֽמַּאֲכֶ֑לֶת לִשְׁחֹ֖ט אֶת־ בְּנֽוֹ׃
11But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”11וַיִּקְרָ֨א אֵלָ֜יו מַלְאַ֤ךְ יְהוָה֙ מִן־ הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם וַיֹּ֖אמֶר אַבְרָהָ֣ם ׀ אַבְרָהָ֑ם וַיֹּ֖אמֶר הִנֵּֽנִי׃
12He said, “Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”12וַיֹּ֗אמֶר אַל־ תִּשְׁלַ֤ח יָֽדְךָ֙ אֶל־ הַנַּ֔עַר וְאַל־ תַּ֥עַשׂ ל֖וֹ מְא֑וּמָּה‪‬ כִּ֣י ׀ עַתָּ֣ה יָדַ֗עְתִּי כִּֽי־ יְרֵ֤א אֱלֹהִים֙ אַ֔תָּה וְלֹ֥א חָשַׂ֛כְתָּ אֶת־ בִּנְךָ֥ אֶת־ יְחִידְךָ֖ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃
13And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son.13וַיִּשָּׂ֨א אַבְרָהָ֜ם אֶת־ עֵינָ֗יו וַיַּרְא֙ וְהִנֵּה־ אַ֔יִל אַחַ֕ר נֶאֱחַ֥ז בַּסְּבַ֖ךְ בְּקַרְנָ֑יו וַיֵּ֤לֶךְ אַבְרָהָם֙ וַיִּקַּ֣ח אֶת־ הָאַ֔יִל וַיַּעֲלֵ֥הוּ לְעֹלָ֖ה תַּ֥חַת בְּנֽוֹ׃
14So Abraham called the name of that place, “The LORD will provide”; as it is said to this day, “On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided.”14וַיִּקְרָ֧א אַבְרָהָ֛ם שֵֽׁם־ הַמָּק֥וֹם הַה֖וּא יְהוָ֣ה ׀ יִרְאֶ֑ה אֲשֶׁר֙ יֵאָמֵ֣ר הַיּ֔וֹם בְּהַ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה יֵרָאֶֽה׃
15And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time from heaven15וַיִּקְרָ֛א מַלְאַ֥ךְ יְהוָ֖ה אֶל־ אַבְרָהָ֑ם שֵׁנִ֖ית מִן־ הַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃
16and said, “By myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son,16וַיֹּ֕אמֶר בִּ֥י נִשְׁבַּ֖עְתִּי נְאֻם־ יְהוָ֑ה כִּ֗י יַ֚עַן אֲשֶׁ֤ר עָשִׂ֙יתָ֙ אֶת־ הַדָּבָ֣ר הַזֶּ֔ה וְלֹ֥א חָשַׂ֖כְתָּ אֶת־ בִּנְךָ֥ אֶת־ יְחִידֶֽךָ׃
17I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of his enemies,17כִּֽי־ בָרֵ֣ךְ אֲבָרֶכְךָ֗ וְהַרְבָּ֨ה אַרְבֶּ֤ה אֶֽת־ זַרְעֲךָ֙ כְּכוֹכְבֵ֣י הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם וְכַח֕וֹל אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־ שְׂפַ֣ת הַיָּ֑ם וְיִרַ֣שׁ זַרְעֲךָ֔ אֵ֖ת שַׁ֥עַר אֹיְבָֽיו׃
18and in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.”18וְהִתְבָּרֲכ֣וּ בְזַרְעֲךָ֔ כֹּ֖ל גּוֹיֵ֣י הָאָ֑רֶץ עֵ֕קֶב אֲשֶׁ֥ר שָׁמַ֖עְתָּ בְּקֹלִֽי׃
19So Abraham returned to his young men, and they arose and went together to Beersheba. And Abraham lived at Beersheba.19וַיָּ֤שָׁב אַבְרָהָם֙ אֶל־ נְעָרָ֔יו וַיָּקֻ֛מוּ וַיֵּלְכ֥וּ יַחְדָּ֖ו אֶל־ בְּאֵ֣ר שָׁ֑בַע וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב אַבְרָהָ֖ם בִּבְאֵ֥ר שָֽׁבַע׃ פ
20Now after these things it was told to Abraham, “Behold, Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor:20וַיְהִ֗י אַחֲרֵי֙ הַדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה וַיֻּגַּ֥ד לְאַבְרָהָ֖ם לֵאמֹ֑ר הִ֠נֵּה יָלְדָ֨ה מִלְכָּ֥ה גַם־ הִ֛וא בָּנִ֖ים לְנָח֥וֹר אָחִֽיךָ׃
21Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,21אֶת־ ע֥וּץ בְּכֹר֖וֹ וְאֶת־ בּ֣וּז אָחִ֑יו וְאֶת־ קְמוּאֵ֖ל אֲבִ֥י אֲרָֽם׃
22Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”22וְאֶת־ כֶּ֣שֶׂד וְאֶת־ חֲז֔וֹ וְאֶת־ פִּלְדָּ֖שׁ וְאֶת־ יִדְלָ֑ף וְאֵ֖ת בְּתוּאֵֽל׃
23(Bethuel fathered Rebekah.) These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.23וּבְתוּאֵ֖ל יָלַ֣ד אֶת־ רִבְקָ֑ה שְׁמֹנָ֥ה אֵ֙לֶּה֙ יָלְדָ֣ה מִלְכָּ֔ה לְנָח֖וֹר אֲחִ֥י אַבְרָהָֽם׃
24Moreover, his concubine, whose name was Reumah, bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.24וּפִֽילַגְשׁ֖וֹ וּשְׁמָ֣הּ רְאוּמָ֑ה וַתֵּ֤לֶד גַּם־ הִוא֙ אֶת־ טֶ֣בַח וְאֶת־ גַּ֔חַם וְאֶת־ תַּ֖חַשׁ וְאֶֽת־ מַעֲכָֽה׃ ס
