1 And it came to pass after these things that God tempted Abraam, and said to him, Abraam, Abraam; and he said, Lo! I am here . After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.
2 And he said, Take thy son, the beloved one, whom thou hast loved - Isaac, and go into the high land, and offer him there for a whole-burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. He 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.” Then 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.”
3 And Abraam rose up in the morning and saddled his ass, and he took with him two servants, and Isaac his son, and having split wood for a whole-burnt-offering, he arose and departed, and came to the place of which God spoke to him, So 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. Early 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.
4 on the third day; and Abraam having lifted up his eyes, saw the place afar off. On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from afar. On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.
5 And Abraam said to his servants, Sit ye here with the ass, and I and the lad will proceed thus far, and having worshipped we will return to you. Then 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.” He 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.”
6 And Abraam took the wood of the whole-burnt-offering, and laid it on Isaac his son, and he took into his hands both the fire and the knife, and the two went together. And 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. Abraham 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,
7 And Isaac said to Abraam his father, Father. And he said, What is it, son? And he said, Behold the fire and the wood, where is the sheep for a whole-burnt-offering? And 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?” Isaac 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?”
8 And Abraam said, God will provide himself a sheep for a whole-burnt-offering, my son. And both having gone together, Abraham said, “God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they went both of them together. Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together.
9 came to the place which God spoke of to him; and there Abraam built the altar, and laid the wood on it, and having bound the feet of Isaac his son together, he laid him on the altar upon the wood. When 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. When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.
10 And Abraam stretched forth his hand to take the knife to slay his son. Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son. Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.
11 And an angel of the Lord called him out of heaven, and said, Abraam, Abraam. And he said, Behold, I am here . But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” But the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.
12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the child, neither do anything to him, for now I know that thou fearest God, and for my sake thou hast not spared thy beloved son. He 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.” “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.”
13 And Abraam lifted up his eyes and beheld, and lo! a ram caught by his horns in a plant of Sabec; and Abraam went and took the ram, and offered him up for a whole-burnt-offering in the place of Isaac his son. And 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. Abraham 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.
14 And Abraam called the name of that place, The Lord hath seen; that they might say to-day, In the mount the Lord was seen. So 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.” So Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.”
15 And an angel of the Lord called Abraam the second time out of heaven, saying, And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time from heaven The angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time
16 I have sworn by myself, says the Lord, because thou hast done this thing, and on my account hast not spared thy beloved son, and said, “By myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, and said, “I swear by myself, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son,
17 surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which is by the shore of the sea, and thy seed shall inherit the cities of their enemies. I 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, I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies,
18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast hearkened to my voice. and in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.” and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.”
19 And Abraam returned to his servants, and they arose and went together to the well of the oath; and Abraam dwelt at the well of the oath. So Abraham returned to his young men, and they arose and went together to Beersheba. And Abraham lived at Beersheba. Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they set off together for Beersheba. And Abraham stayed in Beersheba.
20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was reported to Abraam, saying, Behold, Melcha herself too has born sons to Nachor thy brother, Now after these things it was told to Abraham, “Behold, Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor: Some time later Abraham was told, “Milkah is also a mother; she has borne sons to your brother Nahor:
21 Uz the first-born, and Baux his brother, and Camuel the father of the Syrians, and Chazad, and Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram, Uz the firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel (the father of Aram),
22 Azav and Phaldes, and Jeldaph, and Bathuel, and Bathuel begot Rebecca; Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.” Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph and Bethuel.”
23 these are eight sons, which Melcha bore to Nachor the brother of Abraam. (Bethuel fathered Rebekah.) These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother. Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. Milkah bore these eight sons to Abraham’s brother Nahor.
24 And his concubine whose name was Rheuma, she also bore Tabec, and Taam, and Tochos, and Mocha. Moreover, his concubine, whose name was Reumah, bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah. His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also had sons: Tebah, Gaham, Tahash and Maakah.
