¹²Then He said, “Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your only son from Me.” ^e¹³Abraham looked up and saw a ram ^fcaught in the thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son. ¹⁴And Abraham named that place The Lord Will Provide, ^gso today it is said: “It will be provided ^hon the Lord’s mountain.”

¹⁵Then the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven ¹⁶and said, “By Myself I have sworn,” ⁱthis is the Lord’s declaration: “Because you have done this thing and have not withheld your only son, ^j¹⁷I will indeed bless you ^kand make your offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky ^land the sand on the seashore. ^mYour offspring will possess the gates of their enemies. ⁿ¹⁸And all the nations of the earth will be blessed ^oby your offspring ^pbecause you have obeyed My command.”
