The Offering of Isaac

1 Now it came about after these things, that aGod tested Abraham, and said to him, “ bAbraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” 2Then He said, “Take now cyour son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of dMoriah, and offer him there as a eburnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you.” 3So Abraham got up early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him and his son Isaac; and he split wood for the burnt offering, and set out and went to the place of which God had told him. 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 flaid 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 glamb for the burnt offering?” 8Abraham said, “God will

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