13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a ram behind him, caught in the thicket by its horns; and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it as a burnt offering instead of his son.

14 And Abraham called the name of that place “YHWH Yireh,” as it is said to this day, “On the mountain of YHWH it shall be seen.”

15 And the angel of YHWH called to Abraham a second time from the heavens

16 and said, “By Myself I have sworn, says YHWH, that because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only one,

17 that I will surely bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the shore of the sea; and your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies.

18 And in your seed all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have listened to My voice.”
