He bound his son Isaac, and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.ġ0Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to kill * his son.ġ1But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven, and said, √braham, Abraham! And he said, Here I am.ġ2He said, ∝o not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.ġ3And Abraham looked up and saw a ram, caught in a thicket by its horns.

He said, The fire and the wood are here, but where is the lamb for a burnt-offering?ĨAbraham said, God himself will provide the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son. So the two of them walked on together.ĩ When they came to the place that God had shown him, Abraham built an altar there and laid the wood in order. He said to him, √braham! And he said, Here I am.ĢHe 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 that I shall show you.ģSo Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac he cut the wood for the burnt-offering, and set out and went to the place in the distance that God had shown him.ĤOn the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place far away.ĥThen Abraham said to his young men, Stay here with the donkey the boy and I will go over there we will worship, and then we will come back to you.ĦAbraham took the wood of the burnt-offering and laid it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife.
