Genesis 22:11-18

11But the angel of Adonai called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” He said, “Hineni!”

12Then He said, “Do not reach out your hand against the young man—do nothing to him at all. For now I know that you are one who fears God—you did not withhold your son, your only son, from Me.”

13Then Abraham lifted up his eyes and behold, there was a ram, just caught in the thick bushes by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son.

14Abraham named that place, Adonai Yireh,—as it is said today, “On the mountain, Adonai will provide.”

15The angel of Adonai called to Abraham a second time from heaven

16and said, “By myself I swear—it is a declaration of Adonai—because you have done this thing, and you did not withhold your son, your only son,

17I will richly bless you and bountifully multiply your seed like the stars of heaven, and like the sand that is on the seashore, and your seed will possess the gate of his enemies.

18In your seed all the nations of the earth will be blessed—because you obeyed My voice.”
