1. Sometime after these events, God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" He answered, "Here I am."
2. He said, "Please take your son, your only son whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about."
3. Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, took two of his young men and his son Isaac with him, split wood for the burnt offering, arose, and went to the place God had told him about.
4. On the third day Abraham raised his eyes and saw the place from afar.
5. Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey; the boy and I will go over there, worship, and return to you."
6. Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac; he took the fire and the knife in his hand, and both went together.
7. Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father?” He said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Look, the fire and the wood—but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”
8. Abraham said, "My son, God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering." So they both went together.
9. They arrived at the place God had spoken of to him. Abraham built the altar there, arranged the wood, bound his son Isaac, and placed him on the altar atop the wood.
10. Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.
11. The angel of Yahweh called to him from heaven and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" He said, "Here I am."
12. He said, "Do not stretch out your hand to the boy, nor 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. Abraham lifted his eyes and saw—there behind him a ram caught in the thicket by its horns. Abraham went, took the ram, and offered it up as a burnt offering in place of his son.
14. Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh Sees, as it is said to this day, "On the mountain of Yahweh it will be seen."
15. The angel of Yahweh called to Abraham a second time from heaven.
16. He said, “By myself I have sworn,” declares Yahweh, “because you have done this deed and have not spared your son, your only son.”
17. I will surely bless you and surely multiply your offspring like the stars of the sky and like the sand on the seashore, and your offspring will possess the gates of their enemies.
18. All nations of the earth will bless themselves abundantly in your offspring, because you have carefully heeded my voice.
19. Abraham returned to his servants, and they arose and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived in Beersheba.
20. It came about after these matters that Abraham was told, “Look, Milcah—she has also borne sons to your brother Nahor.”
21. Uz, his firstborn; Buz, his brother; and Kemuel, father of Aram.
22. Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23. Bethuel fathered Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
24. His concubine, named Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Thahash, and Maachah.
