Genesis 22:4-10

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 1laid 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 2lamb for the burnt offering?” 8Abraham said, “God will 3provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” So the two of them walked on together.

9Then they came to 4the place of which God had told him; and Abraham built 5the altar there and arranged the wood, and bound his son Isaac and 6laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. 10And Abraham reached out with his hand and took the knife to 7slaughter his son.
