Genesis 22:7-24 The Message (MSG)

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.

11. Just then an angel of God called to him out of Heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!”“Yes, I’m listening.”

12. “Don’t lay a hand on that boy! Don’t touch him! Now I know how fearlessly you fear God; you didn’t hesitate to place your son, your dear son, on the altar for me.”

13. Abraham looked up. He saw a ram caught by its horns in the thicket. Abraham took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son.

14. Abraham named that place God-Yireh (God-Sees-to-It). That’s where we get the saying, “On the mountain of God, he sees to it.”

19. Then Abraham went back to his young servants. They got things together and returned to Beersheba. Abraham settled down in Beersheba.

24. His concubine, Reumah, gave him four more children: Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
