Genesis 22:11-18

11But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” He replied, “Here I am.”

12Then he said, “Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your only son from me.”

13Abraham looked up and saw a ram caught in the thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.

14And Abraham named that place The Lord Will Provide, so today it is said, “It will be provided on the Lord’s mountain.”

15Then the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven

16and said, “By myself I have sworn,” this is the Lord’s declaration: “Because you have done this thing and have not withheld your only son,

17I will indeed bless you and make your offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the city gates of their enemies.

18And all the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring because you have obeyed my command.”
