Genesis 22:6-12

6And AbrahamH85 tookH3947 the woodH6086 of the burnt offeringH5930, and laidH7760 it upon IsaacH3327 his sonH1121; and he tookH3947 the fireH784 in his handH3027, and a knifeH3979; and they wentH3212 bothH8147 of them togetherH3162.

7And IsaacH3327 spakeH559 unto AbrahamH85 his fatherH1, and saidH559, My fatherH1: and he saidH559, Here am I, my sonH1121. And he saidH559, Behold the fireH784 and the woodH6086: but where is the lambH7716 for a burnt offeringH5930?1

8And AbrahamH85 saidH559, My sonH1121, GodH430 will provideH7200 himself a lambH7716 for a burnt offeringH5930: so they wentH3212 both of themH8147 togetherH3162.

9And they cameH935 to the placeH4725 which GodH430 had toldH559 him of; and AbrahamH85 builtH1129 an altarH4196 there, and laidH6186 the woodH6086 in orderH6186, and boundH6123 IsaacH3327 his sonH1121, and laidH7760 him on the altarH4196 uponH4605 the woodH6086.

10And AbrahamH85 stretched forthH7971 his handH3027, and tookH3947 the knifeH3979 to slayH7819 his sonH1121.

11And the angelH4397 of YhwhH3068 calledH7121 unto him out of heavenH8064, and saidH559, AbrahamH85, AbrahamH85: and he saidH559, Here am I.

12And he saidH559, LayH7971 not thine handH3027 uponH413 the ladH5288, neither do thouH6213 any thingH3972 unto him: for nowH6258 I knowH3045 that thou fearestH3373 GodH430, seeing thou hast notH3808 withheldH2820 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 son from me.
