1. Later God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" Abraham said, "Here I am."
|
1. And it came to pass H1961 after H310 these H428 things H1697 , that God H430 did tempt H5254 H853 Abraham H85 , and said H559 unto H413 him, Abraham H85 : and he said H559 , Behold H2009 , here I am .
|
|
2. God said, "Take now your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love. And go to the land of Moriah. Give him as a burnt gift on the altar in worship, on one of the mountains I will show you."
|
2. And he said H559 , Take H3947 now H4994 H853 thy son H1121 , H853 thine only H3173 son H853 Isaac H3327 , whom H834 thou lovest H157 , and get H1980 thee into H413 the land H776 of Moriah H4179 ; and offer H5927 him there H8033 for a burnt offering H5930 upon H5921 one H259 of the mountains H2022 which H834 I will tell H559 thee of H413 .
|
|
3. So Abraham got up early in the morning and got his donkey ready. He took two of his young men with him and his son Isaac. He cut wood for the burnt gift. And he went to the place where God told him to go.
|
3. And Abraham H85 rose up early H7925 in the morning H1242 , and saddled H2280 H853 his ass H2543 , and took H3947 H853 two H8147 of his young men H5288 with H854 him , and Isaac H3327 his son H1121 , and cleaved H1234 the wood H6086 for the burnt offering H5930 , and rose up H6965 , and went H1980 unto H413 the place H4725 of which H834 God H430 had told H559 him.
|
|
4. Abraham looked up on the third day and saw the place far away.
|
4. Then on the third H7992 day H3117 Abraham H85 lifted up H5375 H853 his eyes H5869 , and saw H7200 H853 the place H4725 afar off H4480 H7350 .
|
|
5. He said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey. I and the boy will go to that place and worship, and return to you."
|
5. And Abraham H85 said H559 unto H413 his young men H5288 , Abide H3427 ye here H6311 with H5973 the ass H2543 ; and I H589 and the lad H5288 will go H1980 yonder H5704 H3541 and worship H7812 , and come again H7725 to H413 you.
|
|
6. Abraham took the wood for the burnt gift and had Isaac carry it. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. And the two of them walked on together.
|
6. And Abraham H85 took H3947 H853 the wood H6086 of the burnt offering H5930 , and laid H7760 it upon H5921 Isaac H3327 his son H1121 ; and he took H3947 H853 the fire H784 in his hand H3027 , and a knife H3979 ; and they went H1980 both H8147 of them together H3162 .
|
|
7. Then Isaac said to Abraham, "My father!" Abraham answered, "Here I am, my son." Isaac said, "See, here is the fire and the wood. But where is the lamb for the burnt gift?"
|
7. And Isaac H3327 spoke H559 unto H413 Abraham H85 his father H1 , and said H559 , My father H1 : and he said H559 , Here H2009 am I , my son H1121 . And he said H559 , Behold H2009 the fire H784 and the wood H6086 : but where H346 is the lamb H7716 for a burnt offering H5930 ?
|
|
8. Abraham said, "God will have for Himself a lamb ready for the burnt gift, my son." So the two of them walked on together.
|
8. And Abraham H85 said H559 , My son H1121 , God H430 will provide H7200 himself a lamb H7716 for a burnt offering H5930 : so they went H1980 both H8147 of them together H3162 .
|
|
9. Then they came to the place that God told them about. Abraham built the altar there, and set the wood in place. Then he tied rope around his son Isaac, and laid him upon the wood on the altar.
|
9. And they came H935 to H413 the place H4725 which H834 God H430 had told H559 him of ; and Abraham H85 built H1129 H853 an altar H4196 there H8033 , and laid the wood in order H6186 H853 H6086 , and bound H6123 H853 Isaac H3327 his son H1121 , and laid H7760 him on H5921 the altar H4196 upon H4480 H4605 the wood H6086 .
|
|
10. And Abraham put out his hand and took the knife to kill his son.
|
10. And Abraham H85 stretched forth H7971 H853 his hand H3027 , and took H3947 H853 the knife H3979 to slay H7819 H853 his son H1121 .
|
|
11. But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven, and said, "Abraham! Abraham!" And Abraham said, "Here I am."
|
11. And the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 called H7121 unto H413 him out of H4480 heaven H8064 , and said H559 , Abraham H85 , Abraham H85 : and he said H559 , Here H2009 am I.
|
|
12. The angel of the Lord said, "Do not put out your hand against the boy. Do nothing to him. For now I know that you fear God. You have not kept from Me your son, your only son."
|
12. And he said H559 , Lay H7971 not H408 thine hand H3027 upon H413 the lad H5288 , neither H408 do H6213 thou any thing H3972 unto him: for H3588 now H6258 I know H3045 that H3588 thou H859 fearest H3373 God H430 , seeing thou hast not H3808 withheld H2820 H853 thy son H1121 , H853 thine only H3173 son from H4480 me.
|
|
13. Then Abraham looked and saw a ram behind him, with his horns caught in the bushes. Abraham went and took the ram, and gave him as a burnt gift instead of his son.
|
13. And Abraham H85 lifted up H5375 H853 his eyes H5869 , and looked H7200 , and behold H2009 behind H310 him a ram H352 caught H270 in a thicket H5442 by his horns H7161 : and Abraham H85 went H1980 and took H3947 H853 the ram H352 , and offered him up H5927 for a burnt offering H5930 in the stead of H8478 his son H1121 .
|
|
14. Abraham gave that place the name "The Lord will give us what we need." And it is said to this day, "On the mountain of the Lord it will be given."
|
14. And Abraham H85 called H7121 the name H8034 of that H1931 place H4725 Jehovah H3070 -jireh: as H834 it is said H559 to this day H3117 , In the mount H2022 of the LORD H3068 it shall be seen H7200 .
|
|
15. The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time.
|
15. And the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 called H7121 unto H413 Abraham H85 out of H4480 heaven H8064 the second time H8145 ,
|
|
16. He said, "I have promised by Myself, says the Lord, because you have done this and have not kept from Me your son, your only son,
|
16. And said H559 , By myself have I sworn H7650 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , for H3588 because H3282 H834 thou hast done H6213 H853 this H2088 thing H1697 , and hast not H3808 withheld H2820 H853 thy son H1121 , H853 thine only H3173 son :
|
|
17. I will bring good to you. I will add many to the number of your children and all who come after them, like the stars of the heavens and the sand beside the sea. They will take over the cities of those who hate them.
|
17. That H3588 in blessing H1288 I will bless H1288 thee , and in multiplying H7235 I will multiply H7235 H853 thy seed H2233 as the stars H3556 of the heaven H8064 , and as the sand H2344 which H834 is upon H5921 the sea H3220 shore H8193 ; and thy seed H2233 shall possess H3423 H853 the gate H8179 of his enemies H341 ;
|
|
18. Good will come to all the nations of the earth by your children and their children's children. Because you have obeyed My voice."
|
18. And in thy seed H2233 shall all H3605 the nations H1471 of the earth H776 be blessed H1288 ; because H6118 H834 thou hast obeyed H8085 my voice H6963 .
|
|
19. So Abraham returned to his young men. And they got up and went with him to Beersheba. Abraham made his home there.

20. Later it was told to Abraham, "Milcah also has given birth to the children of your brother Nahor:
|
20. And it came to pass H1961 after H310 these H428 things H1697 , that it was told H5046 Abraham H85 , saying H559 , Behold H2009 , Milcah H4435 , she H1931 hath also H1571 born H3205 children H1121 unto thy brother H251 Nahor H5152 ;
|
|
21. Uz the first-born, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,

21. H853 Huz H5780 his firstborn H1060 , and Buz H938 his brother H251 , and Kemuel H7055 the father H1 of Aram H758 ,
|
|
22. Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel."
|
22. And Chesed H3777 , and Hazo H2375 , and Pildash H6394 , and Jidlaph H3044 , and Bethuel H1328 .
|
|
23. Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. Milcah gave birth to these eight by Nahor, Abraham's brother.
