Genesis 22:11-18

11And the angelH4397 of Jehovah calledH7121 unto him out of heavenH8064, and saidH559, AbrahamH85, AbrahamH85: and he saidH559, HereH2009 am I. 12And he saidH559, Lay not thy handH3027 upon the ladH5288, neither do thou anythingH3972 unto him; for nowH6258 I knowH3045 that thou fearest GodH430, seeing thou hast not withheldH2820 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 sonH1121, from me. 13And AbrahamH85 liftedH5375 up his eyesH5869, and lookedH7200, and, behold, behind him a ramH352 caught in the thicketH5442 by his hornsH7161: and AbrahamH85 wentH5927 and tookH3947 the ramH352, and offeredH5927 him up for a burnt-offering in the stead of his sonH1121. 14And AbrahamH85 calledH7121 the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 Jehovah-jireh: as it is saidH559 to this dayH3117, In the mount of Jehovah it shall be provided. 15And the angelH4397 of Jehovah calledH7121 unto AbrahamH85 a secondH8145 timeH8145 out of heavenH8064, 16and saidH559, By myself have I swornH7650, saith Jehovah, because thou hast done this thingH1697, and hast not withheldH2820 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 sonH1121, 17that in blessingH1288 I will blessH1288 thee, and in multiplyingH7235 I will multiplyH7235 thy seedH2233 as the starsH3556 of the heavensH8064, and as the sandH2344 which is upon the sea-shore; and thy seedH2233 shall possessH3423 the gateH8179 of his enemiesH341; 18and in thy seedH2233 shall all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 be blessedH1288; because thou hast obeyed my voiceH6963.
