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 (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.
