Genesis 22:12-18

12 He said, ^a“Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for ^bnow I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.” 13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son. 14 So Abraham called the name of that place, ^c“The Lord will provide”; ^{▼▼Or will see} as it is said to this day, “On the mount of the Lord it shall be provided.” ^{▼▼Or he will be seen}

15 And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven 16 and said, ^f“By myself I have sworn, declares the Lord, because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, 17 I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring ^gas the stars of heaven and ^has the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess ⁱthe gate of his ^{▼▼Or their} enemies, 18 and ^kin your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, ^lbecause you have obeyed my voice.”
