Genesis 22:6-10

6Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering. He gave it to Isaac to carry. Abraham himself carried the fire and the knife. The two of them walked on together.

7Isaac spoke to his father, Abraham. He said, ‘Father?’ Abraham replied ‘Yes my son, what is it?’ Isaac replied, ‘I see that the fire and the wood are here. But where is the lamb so that we can make the burnt offering?’

8Abraham replied, ‘My son, God himself will bring the lamb for the burnt offering.’ The two of them continued to walk on together.

9They came to the place that God told them. Abraham built an altar there. He put the wood on it, ready for the fire. Then he tied his son Isaac. He lifted him up and he put him on top of the wood on the altar.

10Then Abraham took hold of the knife. He was ready to kill his son as a sacrifice.
