01:021:033 And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there
on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.
01:021:034 And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
01:022:001 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt
Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
01:022:002 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom
thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there
for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee
of.
01:022:003 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his
ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and
clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the
place of which God had told him.
01:022:004 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw
the place afar off.
01:022:005 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the
ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to
you.
01:022:006 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it
upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and
they went both of them together.
01:022:007 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My
father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire
and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
01:022:008 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb
for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
01:022:009 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and
Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound
Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
01:022:010 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to
slay his son.
01:022:011 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and
said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
01:022:012 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do
thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing
thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
01:022:013 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold
behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and
took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of
his son.
01:022:014 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as
it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
01:022:015 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven
the second time,
01:022:016 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for
because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine
only son:
01:022:017 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I
will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand
which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his
enemies;
