Genesis 22:11-13

11Just then the angelH43971 of the LORDH3068 called outH7121 to himH413 fromH4480 heavenH8064, “AbrahamH85, AbrahamH85!”

“Here I amH2009,” he repliedH559.

12“Do notH408 layH7971 a handH3027 onH413 the boyH5288H408 or doH6213 anythingH3972 to him,” saidH559 the angel, “forH3588 nowH6258 I knowH3045 thatH3588 youH859 fearH3373 GodH430, since you have notH3808 withheldH2820 your onlyH3173 sonH1121 from meH4480.2”

13Then AbrahamH85 looked upH5375H5869 and sawH7200 behindH310 him a ramH3523 in a thicketH5442, caughtH270 by its hornsH7161. SoH85 he wentH1980 and tookH3947 the ramH352 and offeredH5927 it as a burnt offeringH5930 in place ofH8478 his sonH1121.
