¹¹And the Angel of Jehovah called to him from the heavens, and said, Abraham, Abraham! And he said, Here am I. ¹²And he said, Stretch not out thy hand against the lad, neither do anything to him; for now I know that thou fearest God, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son, from me. ¹³And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, behind was a ram caught in the thicket by its horns; and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt-offering instead of his son. ¹⁴And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh; as it is said at the present day, On the mount of Jehovah will be provided.

¹⁵And the Angel of Jehovah called to Abraham from the heavens a second time, ¹⁶and said, By myself I swear, saith Jehovah, that, because thou hast done this, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son, ¹⁷I will richly bless thee, and greatly multiply thy seed, as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is on the sea-shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; ¹⁸and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves, because thou hast hearkened to my voice.
