Genesis 22:1-14

Genesis 22:1-14

[1] And it came to pass after  these things,  that God  did tempt  Abraham,  and said  unto him, Abraham:  and he said,  [2] And he said,  Take now  thy son,  thine only  son Isaac,  whom thou lovest,  into the land  of Moriah;  and offer him  there for a burnt offering  upon one  of the mountains  which I will tell  thee of. [3] And Abraham  rose up early  in the morning,  and saddled  his ass,  and took  two  of his young men  with him, and Isaac  his son,  and clave  the wood  for the burnt offering,  and rose up,  unto the place  of which God  had told  him. [4] Then on the third  day  Abraham  lifted up  his eyes,  and saw  the place  afar off.  [5] And Abraham  said  unto his young men,  Abide  ye here with the ass;  and I and the lad  yonder  and worship,  and come again  to you. [6] And Abraham  took  the wood  of the burnt offering,  and laid  it upon Isaac  his son;  and he took  the fire  in his hand,  and a knife;  both  of them together.  [7] And Isaac  spake  unto Abraham  his father,  and said,  My father:  and he said,  Here am I, my son.  And he said,  Behold the fire  and the wood:  but where is the lamb  for a burnt offering?  [8] And Abraham  said,  My son,  God  will provide  himself a lamb  for a burnt offering:  both of them  together.  [9] And they came  to the place  which God  had told  him of; and Abraham  built  an altar  the wood  in order,  and bound  Isaac  his son,  and laid  him on the altar  upon  the wood.  [10] And Abraham  stretched forth  his hand,  and took  the knife  to slay  his son.  [11] And the angel  of the LORD  called  unto him out of heaven,  and said,  Abraham,  and he said,  [12] And he said,  Lay  not thine hand  upon  the lad,  neither do thou  any thing  unto him: for now  I know  that thou fearest  God,  seeing thou hast not  withheld  thy son,  thine only  son from me. [13] And Abraham  lifted up  his eyes,  and looked,  and behold behind  him a ram  caught  in a thicket  by his horns:  and Abraham  and took  the ram,  and offered him up  for a burnt offering  in the stead  of his son.  [14] And Abraham  called  the name  of that place  as  it is said  to this day,  In the mount  of the LORD  it shall be seen.
