Parallel Chapters The Offering of Isaac
(John 3:16-21; Romans 5:6-11; Hebrews 11:17-19) | 1Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, "Abraham!" "Here I am," he replied. | 1After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” | 1Now it came about after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am." | 1And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. | 1After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!"" Here I am," he answered." |
| 2Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, whom you love--Isaac--and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you." | 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.” | 2He said, "Take now your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you." | 2And 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. | 2Take your son," He said, "your only son Isaac, whom you love, go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about." |
| 3Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about. | 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. | 3So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him and Isaac his son; and he split wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him. | 3And 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. | 3So Abraham got up early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took with him two of his young men and his son Isaac.

| 4On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. | 4On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from afar. | 4On the third day Abraham raised his eyes and saw the place from a distance. | 4Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. | 4On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. |
| 5He said to his servants, "Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you." | 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.” | 5Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there; and we will worship and return to you." | 5And 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. | 5Then Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there to worship; then we'll come back to you." |
| 6Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together, | 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. | 6Abraham 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.

| 7Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, "Father?" "Yes, my son?" Abraham replied. "The fire and wood are here," Isaac said, "but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?" | 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?” | 7Isaac spoke to 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 the burnt offering?" | 7And 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? | 7Then Isaac spoke to his father Abraham and said, "My father." And he replied, "Here I am, my son." Isaac said, "The fire and the wood are here, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?" |
| 8Abraham answered, "God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son." And the two of them went on together. | 8Abraham said, “God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they went both of them together. | 8Abraham said, "God will provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son."

"Here I am," he replied. | 11But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” | 11But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, "Abraham, Abraham!"

| 12"Do not lay a hand on the boy," he said. "Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son." | 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.” | 12He said, "Do not stretch out your hand against the lad, and do nothing to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me." | 12And 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. | 12Then He said, "Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your only son from Me." |
| 13Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. | 13And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns.
