Genesis 22:10-12 ▼

10 Then he stretched out his hand and grabbed the knife to slaughter his son.

11 Just then, an angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven and said, |Abraham! Abraham!| |Here I am,| he answered.

12 |Don't lay your hand on the youth!| he said. |Don't do anything to him, because I've just demonstrated that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only unique one, from me.|
