Genesis 22:1–8

Abraham’s Faith Confirmed

22 Now it came to pass after these things that aGod tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!”

And he said, “Here I am.”

2 Then He said, “Take now your son, byour only son Isaac, whom you clove, and go dto the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a eburnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”

3 So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him. 4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place afar off. 5 And Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey; the 1lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will fcome back to you.”

6 So Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and glaid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and the two of them went together. 7 But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!”

And he said, “Here I am, my son.”

Then he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the 2lamb for a burnt offering?”

8 And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the hlamb for a iburnt offering.” So the two of them went together.
