The
Offering of Isaac |
|
|
 |
|
Genesis 22:1
|
|
Now it came about after these things, that God
tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am." |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 22:2
|
|
He said, "Take now your son, your only son,
whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt
offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you." |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 22:3
|
|
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
wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had
told him. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 22:4
|
|
On the third day Abraham raised his eyes and
saw the place from a distance. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 22:5
|
|
Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with
the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there; and we will worship and return
to you." |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 22:6
|
|
Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering
and laid it on Isaac his son, and he took in his hand the fire and the knife.
So the two of them walked on together. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 22:7
|
|
Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said,
"My father!" And he said, "Here I am, my son." And he said, "Behold, the fire
and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?" |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 22:8
|
|
Abraham said, "God will provide for Himself
the lamb for the burnt offering, my son." So the two of them walked on together. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 22:9
|
|
Then they came to the place of which God had
told him; and Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood, and bound his
son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 22:10
|
|
Abraham stretched out his hand and took the
knife to slay his son. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 22:11
|
|
But the angel of the LORD called to him from
heaven and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am." |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 22:12
|
|
He said, "Do not stretch out your hand against
the lad, and do nothing to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have
not withheld your son, your only son, from Me." |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 22:13
|
|
Then Abraham raised his eyes and looked, and
behold, behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns; and Abraham went
and took the ram and offered him up for a burnt offering in the place of his son.
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 22:14
|
|
Abraham called the name of that place The LORD
Will Provide, as it is said to this day, "In the mount of the LORD it will be
provided." |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 22:15
|
|
Then the angel of the LORD called to Abraham
a second time from heaven, |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 22:16
|
|
and said, "By Myself I have sworn, declares
the LORD, because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your
only son, |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 22:17
|
|
indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will
greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is
on the seashore; and your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 22:18
|
|
"In your seed all the nations of the earth shall
be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice." |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 22:19
|
|
So Abraham returned to his young men, and they
arose and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham lived at Beersheba. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 22:20
|
|
Now it came about after these things, that it
was told Abraham, saying, "Behold, Milcah also has borne children to your brother
Nahor: |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 22:21
|
|
Uz his firstborn and Buz his brother and Kemuel
the father of Aram |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 22:22
|
|
and Chesed and Hazo and Pildash and Jidlaph
and Bethuel." |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 22:23
|
|
Bethuel became the father of Rebekah; these
eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 22:24
|
|
His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore
Tebah and Gaham and Tahash and Maacah. |
