Than spake Isaac vnto Abraham his father & sayde: My father? And he
answered here am I my sonne. And he sayde: Se here is fyre and wodd/
but where is the shepe for sacrifyce? And Abraham sayde: my sonne/ God
wyll prouyde him a shepe for sacrifyce. So went they both together.
And when they came vnto the place which God shewed him/ Abrahã made an
aulter there and dressed the wodd/ ãd bownde Isaac his sonne and
layde him on the aulter/ aboue apon the wodd. And Abraham stretched
forth his hande/ and toke the knyfe to haue kylled his sonne.
Than the angell of the LORde called vnto him from heauen saynge:
Abraham/ Abraham. And he answered: here am I. And he sayde: laye not
thy handes apon the childe nether do any thinge at all vnto him/ for
now I knowe that thou fearest God/ in y^t thou hast not kepte thine
only sonne frõ me. And Abraham lyfted vp his eyes and loked aboute:
and beholde/ there was a ram caught by the hornes in a thykette. And
he went and toke the ram and offred him vp for a sacrifyce in the
steade of his sonne And Abraham called the name of the place/ the
LORde will see: wherfore it is a comẽ saynge this daye: in the mounte
will the LORde be sene.
And the Angell of the LORde cryed vnto Abraham from heaven the seconde
tyme saynge: by my selfe haue I sworne (sayth the LORde) because thou
hast done this thinge and hast not spared thy only sonne/ that I will
blesse the and multiplye thy seed as the starres of heaven and as the
sonde vpõ the seesyde. And thy seed shall possesse the gates of hys
enymies. And in thy seed shall all the nations of the erth be blessed/
because thou hast obeyed my voyce
So turned Abraham agayne vnto his yonge men/ and they rose vp and wẽt
to gether to Berseba. And Abraham dwelt at Berseba
And it chaũsed after these thĩges/ that one tolde Abraham saynge:
Beholde/ Milcha she hath also borne childern vnto thy brother Nachor:
Hus his eldest sonne and Bus his brother/ and Kemuell the father of
the Sirians/ and Cesed/ and Haso/ and Pildas/ and Iedlaph/ and
Bethuel. And Bethuel begat Rebecca. These .viij. dyd Milcha bere to
Nachor Abrahams brother. And his concubyne called Rheuma she bare also
Tebah/ Gaham/ Thahas and Maacha.
¶The .xxiij. Chapter.
Sara was an hundred and .xxvij. yere olde (for so longe lyued she) and
than dyed in a heade cyte called Hebron in the londe of Canaan. Than
Abraham came to morne Sara and to wepe for her. And Abraham stode vp
from the coorse and talked with the sonnes of heth saynge: I am a
straunger ãd a foryner amonge yow/ geue me a possession to bury in
with you/ that I may bury my dead oute of my sighte.
And the children of heth answered Abraham saynge vnto him: heare vs
lorde/ thou art a prynce of God amonge vs. In the chefest of oure
sepulchres bury thy dead: None of vs shall forbydd y^e his sepulcre/
y^t thou shuldest not bury thy deade therein. Abrahã stode vp & bowed
hĩ selfe before y^e people of y^e lãde y^e childrẽ of heth.
