Genesis 22:5-13

5And AbrahamH85 saidH559 unto his youngH5288 menH5288, Abide ye hereH6311 with the ass, and I and the ladH5288 will goH7725 yonder; and we will worship, and come again to you. 6And AbrahamH85 tookH3947 the woodH6086 of the burnt-offering, and laid it upon IsaacH3327 his sonH1121; and he tookH3947 in his handH3027 the fireH784 and the knifeH3979; and they went both of them togetherH3162. 7And IsaacH3327 spake unto AbrahamH85 his fatherH1, and saidH559, My fatherH1: and he saidH559, HereH2009 am I, my sonH1121. And he saidH559, Behold, the fireH784 and the woodH6086: but whereH346 is the lambH7716 for a burnt-offering? 8And AbrahamH85 saidH559, GodH430 will provide himself the lambH7716 for a burnt-offering, my sonH1121: so they went both of them togetherH3162.

9And they cameH935 to the placeH4725 which GodH430 had told him of; and AbrahamH85 builtH1129 the altarH4196 there, and laid the woodH6086 in order, and bound IsaacH3327 his sonH1121, and laid him on the altarH4196, upon the woodH6086. 10And AbrahamH85 stretchedH7971 forthH7971 his handH3027, and tookH3947 the knifeH3979 to slay his sonH1121. 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.
