Genesis 22:8-13

8AbrahamH85 answeredH559, “GodH430 Himself will provideH7200 the lambH7716 for the burnt offeringH5930, my sonH1121.” And the twoH8147 walked onH1980 togetherH3162.

9When they arrivedH935 atH413 the placeH4725 GodH430 had designatedH559, AbrahamH85 builtH1129 the altarH4196 thereH8033 and arrangedH6186 the woodH6086. He boundH6123 his sonH1121 IsaacH3327 and placedH7760 himH853 onH5921 the altarH4196, atopH4605 the woodH6086. 10Then AbrahamH85 reached outH7971 his handH3027 and tookH3947 the knifeH3979 to slaughterH7819 his sonH1121.

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.
