Genesis 22

CLV(i) 1 And it is coming, after these things, that the Elohim probes Abraham and is saying to him, "Abraham! Abraham!"And saying is he, "Behold me!" 2 And saying is He, "Take, pray, your son, your only one, whom you love, Isaac, and go you to the land of Moriah, and offer him up there for an ascent offering on one of the mountains of which I will apprize you. 3 And early in the morning is Abraham rising, and is saddling his ass, and is taking two of his lads with him, and Isaac, his son, and is rending the wood for the ascent offering. And rising is he and going, and came to the place of which the Elohim apprized him on the third day. 4 And lifting up his eyes is Abraham and seeing the place from afar. 5 And saying is Abraham to his lads, "Sit you here with the ass, and I and the lad will go, meanwhile, and we will worship and return to you. 6 And taking is Abraham the wood for the ascent offering and is placing it on Isaac, his son. And taking is he in his hand the fire and the knife. And going are they two together. 7 And speaking is Isaac to Abraham, his father, and saying, "My father!"And saying is he, "Behold me, my son.And saying is he, "Behold the fire and the wood, yet where is the flockling for the ascent offering? 8 And saying is Abraham, "The Elohim will see for Himself as to the flockling for the ascent offering, my son. 9 And going are they, they two, together. And coming are they to the place of which the Elohim had apprized him. And building is Abraham the altar there, and is arranging the wood. And trussing is he Isaac, his son, and placing him on the altar, above the wood. 10 And stretching out is Abraham his hand and taking the knife to slay his son. 11 And calling is the messenger of Yahweh to him from the heavens and saying, "Abraham! Abraham!"And saying is he, "Behold me!" 12 And saying is he, "You must not stretch out your hand on the lad, and you must not do aught to him, for now I know that you fear the Elohim, for you have not kept back your son, your only one from Me. 13 And lifting is Abraham his eyes and seeing, and behold! One ram is behind him, held in a thicket by its horns. And going is Abraham and taking the ram, and offering it up for an ascent offering instead of Isaac, his son. 14 And calling is Abraham the name of that place Yahweh-jireh, which is being said today, "In the mount of Yahweh it is being seen. 15 And calling is the messenger of Yahweh to Abraham a second time from the heavens, and saying, 16 By Myself I swear, averring is Yahweh, that, because you have done this thing and have not kept back your son, your only one, from Me, 17 that, blessing, yea, blessing you am I, and increasing, yea, increasing your seed am I as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the sea shore. And your seed shall tenant the gateway of its enemies, 18 and blessed, in your seed, shall be all the nations of the earth, inasmuch as you hearken to My voice. 19 And returning is Abraham to his lads. And rising are they and going together to Beer-sheba. And dwelling is Abraham in Beer-sheba. 20 And coming is it, after these things, that it is being told to Abraham, saying, "Behold! Milcah, she, moreover, bears sons for Nahor, your brother, 21 Uz, his firstborn, and Buz, his brother, and Kemuel, the father of Aram, 22 and Chesed and Hazu and Pildash and Jidlaph and Bethuel. 23 And Bethuel generates Rebecca. These eight sons Milcah bears for Nahor, the brother of Abraham. 24 And his concubine, and her name is Reumah, she moreover, also is bearing Tebah and Gaham and Thahash and Maachah.
