Abraham’s Faith Confirmed

¹Now it came to pass after these things that ⚓God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!”
And he said, “Here I am.”
²Then He said, “Take now your son, ⚓your only son Isaac, whom you ⚓love, and go ⚓to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a ⚓burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”
³So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him. ⁴Then on the third day Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place afar off. ⁵And Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey; the lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will ⚓come back to you.”
⁶So Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and ⚓laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and the two of them went together. ⁷But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!”
And he said, “Here I am, my son.”
Then he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”
⁸And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the ⚓lamb for a ⚓burnt offering.” So the two of them went together.
⁹Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and ⚓laid him on the altar, upon the wood. ¹⁰And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.
¹¹But the ⚓Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!”
So he said, “Here I am.”
¹²And He said, ⚓“Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for ⚓now I know that you fear God, since you have not ⚓withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”
¹³Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son. ¹⁴And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.”
¹⁵Then the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, ¹⁶and said: ⚓“By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son— ¹⁷blessing I will ⚓bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants ⚓as the stars of the heaven ⚓and as the sand which is on the seashore; and ⚓your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. ¹⁸⚓In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, ⚓because you have obeyed My voice.” ¹⁹So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose and went together to ⚓Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.

The Family of Nahor

²⁰Now it came to pass after these things that it was told Abraham, saying, “Indeed ⚓Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor: ²¹⚓Huz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father ⚓of Aram, ²²Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.” ²³And ⚓Bethuel begot Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother. ²⁴His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Thahash, and Maachah.
