2. He said, “Take your dear son Isaac whom you love and go to the land of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I’ll point out to you.”
6. Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and gave it to Isaac his son to carry. He carried the flint and the knife. The two of them went off together.
7. Isaac said to Abraham his father, “Father?”“Yes, my son.”“We have flint and wood, but where’s the sheep for the burnt offering?”
8. Abraham said, “Son, God will see to it that there’s a sheep for the burnt offering.” And they kept on walking together.
15-18. The angel of God spoke from Heaven a second time to Abraham: “I swear—God’s sure word!—because you have gone through with this, and have not refused to give me your son, your dear, dear son, I’ll bless you—oh, how I’ll bless you! And I’ll make sure that your children flourish—like stars in the sky! like sand on the beaches! And your descendants will defeat their enemies. All nations on Earth will find themselves blessed through your descendants because you obeyed me.”
19. Then Abraham went back to his young servants. They got things together and returned to Beersheba. Abraham settled down in Beersheba.
20-23. After all this, Abraham got the news: “Your brother Nahor is a father! Milcah has given him children: Uz, his firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel (he was the father of Aram), Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.” (Bethuel was the father of Rebekah.) Milcah gave these eight sons to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
24. His concubine, Reumah, gave him four more children: Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
