And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh, as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen. And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything unto him for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. And they came to the place which God had told him of and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac, his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. And Isaac spoke unto Abraham, his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife and they went both of them together. And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you. Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and cut the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. And it came to pass after these things, that God did test Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
