9 And when they came to ye place which God had shewed him, Abraham buylt an aulter there, and dressed the wood, and bound Isahac his sonne, and layde him on the aulter aboue vpo the wood. 10 And Abraham stretchyng foorth his hande, toke the knyfe to haue killed his sonne. 11 And the angell of the Lord called vnto him from heauen, saying: Abraham, Abraham. And he sayd, here am I: 12 And he sayde: lay not thy hande vpon the chylde, neyther do any thyng vnto hym, for nowe I knowe that thou fearest God, & hast for my sake not spared yea thine onlye sonne. 13 And Abraham lifting vp his eyes, looked: and beholde, behynde hym there was a Ramme caught by the hornes in a thicket: and Abraham went & tooke the Ramme, and offered hym vp for a burnt offering in the steade of his sonne. 14 And Abraham called ye name of the place, the Lorde wyll see. As it is sayde this day, in the mounte will the Lorde be seene. Genesis 22:9-14, Bishops' Bible of 1568. Public domain.
