Genesis 22:2–14

²Then 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.”

³So 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. ⁴Then on the third day Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place afar off. ⁵And 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.”

⁶So 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. ⁷But 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?”

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

⁹Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and ^jlaid him on the altar, upon the wood. ¹⁰And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.

¹¹But the ^kAngel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!”

So he said, “Here I am.”

¹²And He said, ^l“Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for ^mnow I know that you fear God, since you have not ⁿwithheld your son, your only son, from Me.”

¹³Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son. ¹⁴And Abraham called the name of the place, ³The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.”
