Genesis 22:6-22

Genesis 22:6-22

[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.  [15] And the angel  of the LORD  called  unto Abraham  out of heaven  the second time,  [16] And said,  By myself have I sworn,  saith  the LORD,  for because  thou hast done  this thing,  and hast not  withheld  thy son,  thine only  son: [17] That in blessing  thee, and in multiplying  thy seed  as the stars  of the heaven,  and as the sand  which is upon the sea  shore;  and thy seed  shall possess  the gate  of his enemies;  [18] And in thy seed  shall all the nations  of the earth  be blessed;  because  thou hast obeyed  my voice.  [19] So Abraham  returned  unto his young men,  and they rose up  together  to Beersheba;  and Abraham  dwelt  at Beersheba.  [20] And it came to pass after  these things,  that it was told  Abraham,  saying,  Behold, Milcah,  she hath also born  children  unto thy brother  Nahor;  [21] Huz  his firstborn,  and Buz  his brother,  and Kemuel  the father  of Aram,  [22] And Chesed,  and Hazo,  and Pildash,  and Jidlaph,  and Bethuel.
