Genesis 22:11-14

11But 1the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” 12He said, “Do not stretch out your hand against the lad, and do nothing to him; for now 2I know that you 3fear God, since you have not withheld 4your son, your only son, from Me.” 13Then Abraham raised his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up for a burnt offering in the place of his son. 14Abraham called the name of that place 5The Lord Will Provide, as it is said to this day, “In the mount of the Lord 6it will 7be provided.”
