Genesis 22:3-13

3So AbrahamH85 roseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 and saddledH2280 his donkeyH2543, and tookH3947 twoH8147 of his youngH5288 menH5288 with him and IsaacH3327 his sonH1121; and he splitH1234 woodH6086 for the burntH5930 offeringH5930, and aroseH6965 and wentH1980 to the placeH4725 of whichH834 GodH430 had toldH559 him. 4On the thirdH7992 dayH3117 AbrahamH85 raisedH5375 his eyesH5869 and sawH7200 the placeH4725 from a distanceH7350. 5AbrahamH85 saidH559 to his youngH5288 menH5288, “StayH3427 hereH6311 with the donkeyH2543, and I and the ladH5288 will goH1980 overH5704H3541 thereH5704H3541; and we will worshipH7812 and returnH7725 to you.” 6AbrahamH85 tookH3947 the woodH6086 of the burntH5930 offeringH5930 and 1laidH7760 it on IsaacH3327 his sonH1121, and he tookH3947 in his handH3027 the fireH784 and the knifeH3979. So the twoH8147 of them walkedH1980 on togetherH3164. 7IsaacH3327 spokeH559 to AbrahamH85 his fatherH1 and saidH559, “My fatherH1!” And he saidH559, “HereH2009 I am, my sonH1121.” And he saidH559, “BeholdH2009, the fireH784 and the woodH6086, but whereH346 is the 2lambH7716 for the burntH5930 offeringH5930?” 8AbrahamH85 saidH559, “GodH430 will 3provideH7200 for Himself the lambH7716 for the burntH5930 offeringH5930, my sonH1121.” So the twoH8147 of them walkedH1980 on togetherH3164.

9Then they cameH935 to 4the placeH4725 of whichH834 GodH430 had toldH559 him; and AbrahamH85 builtH1129 5the altarH4196 thereH8033 and arrangedH6186 the woodH6086, and boundH6123 his sonH1121 IsaacH3327 and 6laidH7760 him on the altarH4196, on topH4605 of the woodH6086. 10AbrahamH85 stretchedH7971 out his handH3027 and tookH3947 the knifeH3979 to slayH7819 his sonH1121. 11But 7the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 calledH7121 to him from heavenH8064 and saidH559, “AbrahamH85, AbrahamH85!” And he saidH559, “HereH2009 I am.” 12He saidH559, “Do not stretchH7971 out your handH3027 againstH413 the ladH5288, and doH6213 nothingH408H3972 to him; for nowH6258 8I knowH3045 that you 9fearH3372 GodH430, since you have not withheldH2820 10your sonH1121, your onlyH3173 son, from Me.” 13Then AbrahamH85 raisedH5375 his eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, behindH310 him a ramH352 caughtH270 in the thicketH5442 by his hornsH7161; and AbrahamH85 wentH1980 and tookH3947 the ramH352 and offeredH5927 him up for a burntH5930 offeringH5930 in the placeH8478 of his sonH1121.
