Genesis Chapter 22

Genesis Chapter 22
1 And after these things God did prove
Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham.
Who answered, Here am I.
2 And he said, Take now thine only son
Isaac whom thou lovest, and get thee
unto the land of Moriah, and offer him
there for a burnt offering upon one of the
mountains, which I will show thee.
3 Then Abraham rose up early in the
morning, and saddled his ass, and took
two of his servants with him, and Isaac
his son, and clove wood for the burnt
offering, and rose up and went to the
place, which God had told him. 4 Then
the third day Abraham lift up his eyes,
and saw the place afar off, 5 And said
unto his servants, Abide you here with
the ass: for I and the child will go
yonder and worship, and come again
unto you.
6 Then Abraham took the wood of the
burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his
son, and he took the fire in his hand, and
the knife: and they went both together.
7 Then spake Isaac unto Abraham his
father, and said, My father. And he
answered, Here am I, my son. And he
said, Behold the fire and the wood, but
where is the lamb for the burnt offering?
8 Then Abraham answered, My son,
God will provide him a lamb for a burnt
offering: so they went both together.
9 When they came to the place which
God had showed him, Abraham builded
an altar there, and couched the wood,
and bound Isaac his son and laid him on
the altar upon the wood.
10 And Abraham stretching forth his
hand, took the knife to kill his son. 11
But the Angel of the Lord called unto
him from heaven, saying, Abraham,
Abraham. And he answered, Here am I.
12 Then he said, Lay not thine hand upon
the child, neither do anything unto him:
for now I know that thou fearest God,
seeing for my sake thou hast not spared
thine only son.
13 And Abraham lifting up his eyes,
looked: and behold, there was a ram
behind him caught by the horns in a bush.
Then Abraham went and took the ram,
and offered him up for a burnt offering in
the stead of his son. 14 And Abraham
called the name of that place, Jehovahjireh.
As it is said this day, In the mount
will the Lord be seen.
15 And the angel of the Lord cried unto
Abraham from heaven the second time,
16 And said, By myself have I sworn
(saith the Lord) because thou hast done
this thing, and hast not spared thine only
son,
17 Therefore will I surely bless thee,
and will greatly multiply thy seed, as the
stars of the heaven, and as the sand
which is upon the sea shore, and thy
seed shall possess the gate of his
enemies.
18 And in thy seed shall all the nations
of the earth be blessed, because thou
hast obeyed my voice.
19 Then turned Abraham again unto his
servants, and they rose up and went
together to Beer-sheba: and Abraham
dwelt at Beer-sheba.
20 And after these things one told
Abraham, saying, Behold Milcah, she
hath also born children unto thy brother
Nahor:
21 To wit, Huz his eldest son, and Buz
his brother, and Kemuel the father of
Aram,
22 And Chesed and Hazo, and Pildash,
and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these
eight did Milcah bear to Nahor
Abraham’s brother.
24 And his concubine called Reumah,
she bear also Tebah, and Gaham, and
Thahash and Maachah.
