Genesis 22 (WEBP)
[1] After these things, God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
[2] He said, “Now take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of.”
[3] Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey; and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.
[4] On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
[5] Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there. We will worship, and come back to you.”
[6] Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together.
[7] Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”
[8] Abraham said, “God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they both went together.
[9] They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood.
[10] Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
[11] Yahweh’s angel called to him out of the sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
[12] He said, “Don’t 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] Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
[14] Abraham called the name of that place “Yahweh Will Provide”.§ As it is said to this day, “On Yahweh’s mountain, it will be provided.”
[15] Yahweh’s angel called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
[16] and said, “ ‘I have sworn by myself,’ says Yahweh, ‘because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
[17] that I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your offspring greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gate of his enemies.
[18] All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring, because you have obeyed my voice.’ ”
[19] So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.
[20] After these things, Abraham was told, “Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
[21] Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
[22] Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
[23] Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
[24] His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.

Genesis 22 (KJVS)
[1] And it came to pass after H310 these things H1697, that God H430 did tempt H5254 (8765) Abraham H85, and said H559 (8799) unto him, Abraham H85: and he said H559 (8799), Behold, [here] I [am].
[2] And he said H559 (8799), Take now H3947 (8798) thy son H1121, thine only H3173 [son] Isaac H3327, whom thou lovest H157 (8804), and get thee H3212 (8798) into the land H776 of Moriah H4179; and offer him H5927 (8685) there for a burnt offering H5930 upon one H259 of the mountains H2022 which I will tell H559 (8799) thee of.
[3] And Abraham H85 rose up early H7925 (8686) in the morning H1242, and saddled H2280 (8799) his ass H2543, and took H3947 (8799) two H8147 of his young men H5288 with him, and Isaac H3327 his son H1121, and clave H1234 (8762) the wood H6086 for the burnt offering H5930, and rose up H6965 (8799), and went H3212 (8799) unto the place H4725 of which God H430 had told H559 (8804) him.
[4] Then on the third H7992 day H3117 Abraham H85 lifted up H5375 (8799) his eyes H5869, and saw H7200 (8799) the place H4725 afar off H7350.
[5] And Abraham H85 said H559 (8799) unto his young men H5288, Abide H3427 (8798) ye here with the ass H2543; and I and the lad H5288 will go H3212 (8799) yonder H3541 and worship H7812 (8691), and come again H7725 (8799) to you.
[6] And Abraham H85 took H3947 (8799) the wood H6086 of the burnt offering H5930, and laid H7760 (8799) [it] upon Isaac H3327 his son H1121; and he took H3947 (8799) the fire H784 in his hand H3027, and a knife H3979; and they went H3212 (8799) both H8147 of them together H3162.
[7] And Isaac H3327 spake H559 (8799) unto Abraham H85 his father H1, and said H559 (8799), My father H1: and he said H559 (8799), Here [am] I, my son H1121. And he said H559 (8799), Behold the fire H784 and the wood H6086: but where [is] the lamb H7716 for a burnt offering H5930?
[8] And Abraham H85 said H559 (8799), My son H1121, God H430 will provide H7200 (8799) himself a lamb H7716 for a burnt offering H5930: so they went H3212 (8799) both of them H8147 together H3162.
[9] And they came H935 (8799) to the place H4725 which God H430 had told H559 (8804) him of; and Abraham H85 built H1129 (8799) an altar H4196 there, and laid H6186 the wood H6086 in order H6186 (8799), and bound H6123 (8799) Isaac H3327 his son H1121, and laid H7760 (8799) him on the altar H4196 upon H4605 the wood H6086.
[10] And Abraham H85 stretched forth H7971 (8799) his hand H3027, and took H3947 (8799) the knife H3979 to slay H7819 (8800) his son H1121.
[11] And the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 called H7121 (8799) unto him out of heaven H8064, and said H559 (8799), Abraham H85, Abraham H85: and he said H559 (8799), Here [am] I.
[12] And he said H559 (8799), Lay H7971 (8799) not thine hand H3027 upon H413 the lad H5288, neither do thou H6213 (8799) any thing H3972 unto him: for now H6258 I know H3045 (8804) that thou fearest H3373 God H430, seeing thou hast not H3808 withheld H2820 (8804) thy son H1121, thine only H3173 [son] from me.
[13] And Abraham H85 lifted up H5375 (8799) his eyes H5869, and looked H7200 (8799), and behold behind H310 [him] a ram H352 caught H270 (8737) in a thicket H5442 by his horns H7161: and Abraham H85 went H3212 (8799) and took H3947 (8799) the ram H352, and offered him up H5927 (8686) for a burnt offering H5930 in the stead H8478 of his son H1121.
[14] And Abraham H85 called H7121 (8799) the name H8034 of that place H4725 Jehovahjireh H3070: as H834 it is said H559 (8735) [to] this day H3117, In the mount H2022 of the LORD H3068 it shall be seen H7200 (8735).
[15] And the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 called H7121 (8799) unto Abraham H85 out of heaven H8064 the second time H8145,
[16] And said H559 (8799), By myself have I sworn H7650 (8738), saith H5002 (8803) the LORD H3068, for because H3282 H834 thou hast done H6213 (8804) this thing H1697, and hast not H3808 withheld H2820 (8804) thy son H1121, thine only H3173 [son]:
[17] That in blessing H1288 (8763) I will bless H1288 (8762) thee, and in multiplying H7235 (8687) I will multiply H7235 (8686) thy seed H2233 as the stars H3556 of the heaven H8064, and as the sand H2344 which [is] upon the sea H3220 shore H8193; and thy seed H2233 shall possess H3423 (8799) the gate H8179 of his enemies H341 (8802);
[18] And in thy seed H2233 shall all the nations H1471 of the earth H776 be blessed H1288 (8694); because H834 H6118 thou hast obeyed H8085 (8804) my voice H6963.
[19] So Abraham H85 returned H7725 (8799) unto his young men H5288, and they rose up H6965 (8799) and went H3212 (8799) together H3162 to Beersheba H884; and Abraham H85 dwelt H3427 (8799) at Beersheba H884.
[20] And it came to pass after H310 these things H1697, that it was told H5046 (8714) Abraham H85, saying H559 (8800), Behold, Milcah H4435, she hath also born H3205 (8804) children H1121 unto thy brother H251 Nahor H5152;
[21] Huz H5780 his firstborn H1060, and Buz H938 his brother H251, and Kemuel H7055 the father H1 of Aram H758,
[22] And Chesed H3777, and Hazo H2375, and Pildash H6394, and Jidlaph H3044, and Bethuel H1328.
[23] And Bethuel H1328 begat H3205 (8804) Rebekah H7259: these eight H8083 Milcah H4435 did bear H3205 (8804) to Nahor H5152, Abraham’s H85 brother H251.
[24] And his concubine H6370, whose name H8034 [was] Reumah H7208, she bare H3205 (8799) also Tebah H2875, and Gaham H1514, and Thahash H8477, and Maachah H4601.
Young’s Literal Translation
Genesis 22 (YLT)
[1] And it cometh to pass after these things that God hath tried Abraham, and saith unto him, ‘Abraham;’ and he saith, ‘Here am I.’
[2] And He saith, ‘Take, I pray thee, thy son, thine only one, whom thou hast loved, even Isaac, and go for thyself unto the land of Moriah, and cause him to ascend there for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains of which I speak unto thee.’
[3] And Abraham riseth early in the morning, and saddleth his ass, and taketh two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and he cleaveth the wood of the burnt-offering, and riseth and goeth unto the place of which God hath spoken to him.
[4] On the third day-Abraham lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the place from afar;
[5] and Abraham saith unto his young men, ‘Remain by yourselves here with the ass, and I and the youth go yonder and worship, and turn back unto you.’
[6] And Abraham taketh the wood of the burnt-offering, and placeth on Isaac his son, and he taketh in his hand the fire, and the knife; and they go on both of them together.
[7] And Isaac speaketh unto Abraham his father, and saith, ‘My father,’ and he saith, ‘Here am I, my son.’ And he saith, ‘Lo, the fire and the wood, and where the lamb for a burnt-offering?’
[8] and Abraham saith, ‘God doth provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son;’ and they go on both of them together.
[9] And they come in unto the place of which God hath spoken to him, and there Abraham buildeth the altar, and arrangeth the wood, and bindeth Isaac his son, and placeth him upon the altar above the wood;
[10] and Abraham putteth forth his hand, and taketh the knife-to slaughter his son.
[11] And the messenger of Jehovah calleth unto him from the heavens, and saith, ‘Abraham, Abraham;’ and he saith, ‘Here am I;’
[12] and He saith, ‘Put not forth thine hand unto the youth, nor do anything to him, for now I have known that thou art fearing God, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only one, from Me.’
[13] And Abraham lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, a ram behind, seized in a thicket by its horns; and Abraham goeth, and taketh the ram, and causeth it to ascend for a burnt-offering instead of his son;
[14] and Abraham calleth the name of that place ‘Jehovah-Jireh,’ because it is said this day in the mount, ‘Jehovah doth provide.’
[15] And the messenger of Jehovah calleth unto Abraham a second time from the heavens,
[16] and saith, ‘By Myself I have sworn-the affirmation of Jehovah-that because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only one-
[17] that blessing I bless thee, and multiplying I multiply thy seed as stars of the heavens, and as sand which is on the sea-shore; and thy seed doth possess the gate of his enemies;
[18] and blessed themselves in thy seed have all nations of the earth, because that thou hast hearkened to My voice.’
[19] And Abraham turneth back unto his young men, and they rise and go together unto Beer-Sheba; and Abraham dwelleth in Beer-Sheba.
[20] And it cometh to pass after these things that it is declared to Abraham, saying, ‘Lo, Milcah hath borne, even she, sons to Nahor thy brother:
[21] Huz his first-born, and Buz his brother; and Kemuel father of Aram,
[22] and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel;
[23] and Bethuel hath begotten Rebekah;’ these eight hath Milcah borne to Nahor, Abraham’s brother;
[24] and his concubine, whose name is Reumah, she also hath borne Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maachah.
