Genesis 22:2-14
2Then He saidH559, “TakeH3947 nowH4994 1your sonH1121, your onlyH3173 sonH3173, whomH834 you loveH157, IsaacH3327, and goH1980 to the landH776 of 2MoriahH4179, and offerH5927 him thereH8033 as a 3burntH5930 offeringH5930 on oneH259 of the mountainsH2022 of whichH834 I will tellH559 you.” 3So AbrahamH85 gotH7925 upH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 and saddledH2280 his donkeyH2543, and tookH3947 twoH8147 of his youngH5288 menH5288 with him and his sonH1121 IsaacH3327; and he splitH1234 woodH6086 for the burntH5930 offeringH5930, and setH6965 outH6965 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. 5Then AbrahamH85 saidH559 to his youngH5288 menH5288, “StayH3427 hereH6311 with the donkeyH2543, and I and the boyH5288 will goH1980 overH5704H3541 thereH5704H3541; and we will worshipH2331 and returnH7725 to you.” 6And AbrahamH85 tookH3947 the woodH6086 for the burntH5930 offeringH5930 and 4laidH7760 it on his sonH1121 IsaacH3327, and he tookH3947 in his handH3027 the fireH784 and the knifeH3979. So the twoH8147 of them walkedH1980 on togetherH3164. 7IsaacH3327 spokeH559 to his fatherH1 AbrahamH85 and saidH559, “My fatherH1!” And he saidH559, “HereH2009 I am, my sonH1121.” And he saidH559, “LookH2009, the fireH784 and the woodH6086, but whereH346 is the 5lambH7716 for the burntH5930 offeringH5930?” 8AbrahamH85 saidH559, “GodH430 will 6provideH7200 for Himself the lambH7716 for the burntH5930 offeringH5930, my sonH1121.” So the twoH8147 of them walkedH1980 on togetherH3164.
9Then they cameH935 to 7the placeH4725 of whichH834 GodH430 had toldH559 him; and AbrahamH85 builtH1129 8the altarH4196 thereH8033 and arrangedH6186 the woodH6086, and boundH6123 his sonH1121 IsaacH3327 and 9laidH7760 him on the altarH4196, on topH4605 of the woodH6086. 10And AbrahamH85 reachedH7971 outH7971 with his handH3027 and tookH3947 the knifeH3979 to 10slaughterH7819 his sonH1121. 11But 11the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 calledH7121 to him from heavenH8064 and saidH559, “AbrahamH85, AbrahamH85!” And he saidH559, “HereH2009 I am.” 12He saidH559, “Do not reachH7971 outH7971 your handH3027 againstH413 the boyH5288, and do not doH6213 anythingH3972 to him; for nowH6258 12I knowH3045 that you 13fearH3372 GodH430, since you have not withheldH2820 14your sonH1121, your onlyH3173 sonH3173, from Me.” 13Then AbrahamH85 raisedH5375 his eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, behindH310 him was a ramH352 caughtH270 in the thicketH5442 by its hornsH7161; and AbrahamH85 wentH1980 and tookH3947 the ramH352 and offeredH5927 it upH5927 as a burntH5930 offeringH5930 inH8478 the placeH8478 ofH8478 his sonH1121. 14And AbrahamH85 namedH7121H8034 that placeH4725 15The LordH3068 Will ProvideH7200, as it is saidH559 to this dayH3117, “On the mountainH2022 of the LordH3068 16it will 17be providedH7200.”
