Genesis 22:1-9

1Now it came about after these things, that 1God tested Abraham, and said to him, “2Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” 2Then He said, “Take now 3your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of 4Moriah, and offer him there as a 5burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you.” 3So Abraham got up early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him and his son Isaac; and he split wood for the burnt offering, and set out and went to the place of which God had told him. 4On the third day Abraham raised his eyes and saw the place from a distance. 5Then Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey, and I and the boy will go over there; and we will worship and return to you.” 6And Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and 6laid it on his son Isaac, and he took in his hand the fire and the knife. So the two of them walked on together. 7Isaac spoke to his father Abraham and said, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” And he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the 7lamb for the burnt offering?” 8Abraham said, “God will 8provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” So the two of them walked on together.

9Then they came to 9the place of which God had told him; and Abraham built 10the altar there and arranged the wood, and bound his son Isaac and 11laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.
