Genesis 22:4-10

4On the third day, Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from a distance.

5Abraham said to his young men, “Sit yourselves down here with the donkey. As for me and the young man, we’ll go over there, worship and return to you.”

6Then Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and put it on Isaac his son. In his hand he took the fire and the knife. So the two of them walked on together.

7Then Isaac said to Abraham his father, “My father?” Then he said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Look. Here’s the fire and the wood. But where’s the lamb for a burnt offering?”

8Abraham said, “God will provide for Himself a lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” The two of them walked on together.

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

10Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.
