Genesis 22:11–18

¹¹But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” ¹²He said, “Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”^{* 13}And Abraham looked up and saw a ram, caught in a thicket by its horns. Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son. ¹⁴So Abraham called that place “The Lord will provide,”^t as it is said to this day, “On the mount of the Lord it shall be provided.”^u

¹⁵The angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven ¹⁶and said, “By myself I have sworn, says the Lord: Because you have done this, and have not withheld your son, your only son,^{* 17}I will indeed bless you, and I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of their enemies,^{* 18}and by your offspring shall all the nations of the earth gain blessing for themselves, because you have obeyed my voice.”^*
