8. Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So the two of them went together.
9. Then they came to the place that God had told him. So Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood; and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, on the wood.
10. Then Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.
11. But the angel of the Lord called to him out of heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!”And he said, “Here I am.”
12. Then He said, “Do not lay your hands on the boy or do anything to him, because now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your only son from Me.”
13. Then Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by his horns. So Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up as a burnt offering in the place of his son.
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.”
15. Then the angel of the Lord called to Abraham out of heaven a second time,
16. and said, “By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
17. I will indeed bless you and I will indeed multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens and as the sand that is on the seashore. Your descendants will possess the gate of their enemies.
18. Through your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”
19. So Abraham returned to his young men, and they arose and went together to Beersheba. Then Abraham lived at Beersheba.
20. After these things Abraham was told, “Milkah has also borne children to your brother Nahor:
21. Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
22. Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
