< Genesis 22 >

1 After these things occurred, God tested Abraham, and he said to him, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he answered, “Here I am.”
And it was after the things these and God he put to [the] test Abraham and he said to him O Abraham and he said here [am] I.
2 He said to him: “Take your only begotten son Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of vision. And there you shall offer him as a holocaust upon one of the mountains, which I will show to you.”
And he said take please (son your *LA(bh)*) only [son] your whom you love Isaac and go for yourself to [the] land of Moriah and offer up him there to a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell to you.
3 And so Abraham, getting up in the night, harnessed his donkey, taking with him two youths, and his son Isaac. And when he had cut wood for the holocaust, he traveled toward the place, as God had instructed him.
And he rose early Abraham in the morning and he saddled donkey his and he took two of servants his with him and Isaac son his and he cut wood of burnt offering and he arose and he went to the place which he had said to him God.
4 Then, on the third day, lifting up his eyes, he saw the place at a distance.
On the day third and he lifted up Abraham eyes his and he saw the place from a distance.
5 And he said to his servants: “Wait here with the donkey. I and the boy will hurry further ahead to that place. After we have worshipped, will return to you.”
And he said Abraham to servants his remain for yourselves here with the donkey and I and the lad we will go to there so we may bow down and we will return to you.
6 He also took the wood for the holocaust, and he imposed it upon his son Isaac. And he himself carried in his hands fire and a sword. And as the two continued on together,
And he took Abraham [the] wood of the burnt offering and he put [it] on Isaac son his and he took in hand his the fire and the knife and they went [the] two of them together.
7 Isaac said to his father, “My father.” And he answered, “What do you want, son?” “Behold,” he said, “fire and wood. Where is the victim for the holocaust?”
And he said Isaac to Abraham father his and he said O father my and he said here [am] I O son my and he said here! the fire and the wood and where? [is] the sheep for a burnt offering.
8 But Abraham said, “God himself will provide the victim for the holocaust, my son.” Thus they continued on together.
And he said Abraham God he will see for himself the sheep for a burnt offering O son my and they went [the] two of them together.
9 And they came to the place that God had shown to him. There he built an altar, and he set the wood in order upon it. And when he had bound his son Isaac, he laid him on the altar upon the pile of wood.
And they came to the place which he had said to him God and he built there Abraham the altar and he arranged the wood and he bound Isaac son his and he put him on the altar from above the wood.
10 And he reached out his hand and took hold of the sword, in order to sacrifice his son.
And he stretched out Abraham hand his and he took the knife to slaughter son his.
11 And behold, an Angel of the Lord called out from heaven, saying, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he answered, “Here I am.”
And he called to him [the] angel of Yahweh from the heavens and he said O Abraham - Abraham and he said here [am] I.
12 And he said to him, “Do not extend your hand over the boy, and do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, since you have not spared your only begotten son for my sake.”
And he said may not you stretch out hand your against the lad and may not you do to him anything for - now I know that [are one] fearing God you and not you have withheld son your only [son] your from me.
13 Abraham lifted up his eyes, and he saw behind his back a ram among the thorns, caught by the horns, which he took and offered as a holocaust, instead of his son.
And he lifted up Abraham eyes his and he saw and there! a ram behind it was caught in the thicket by horns its and he went Abraham and he took the ram and he offered up it to a burnt offering in place of son his.
14 And he called the name of that place: ‘The Lord Sees.’ Thus, even to this day, it is said: ‘On the mountain, the Lord will see.’
And he called Abraham [the] name of the place that Yahweh - he will see that it is said this day on [the] mountain of Yahweh it will be seen.
15 Then the Angel of the Lord called out to Abraham a second time from heaven, saying:
And he called [the] angel of Yahweh to Abraham a second [time] from the heavens.
16 “By my own self, I have sworn, says the Lord. Because you have done this thing, and have not spared your only begotten son for my sake,
And he said by myself I swear [the] utterance of Yahweh that because that you have done the thing this and not you have withheld son your only [son] your.
17 I will bless you, and I will multiply your offspring like the stars of heaven, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gates of their enemies.
For surely I will bless you and certainly I will increase offspring your like [the] stars of the heavens and like the sand which [is] on [the] shore of the sea so may take possession of offspring your [the] gate of enemies its.
18 And in your offspring, all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you obeyed my voice.”
And they will bless themselves by offspring your all [the] nations of the earth consequence that you have listened to voice my.
19 Abraham returned to his servants, and they went to Beersheba together, and he lived there.
And he returned Abraham to servants his and they arose and they went together to Beer Sheba and he dwelt Abraham in Beer Sheba.
20 After these things occurred, it was reported to Abraham that Milcah, likewise, had borne sons for his brother Nahor:
And it was after the things these and it was told to Abraham saying there! she has borne Milcah also she children to Nahor brother your.
21 Uz, the firstborn, and Buz, his brother, and Kemuel, the father of the Syrians,
Uz firstborn his and Buz brother his and Kemuel [the] father of Aram.
22 and Chesed, and Hazo, likewise Pildash, and Jidlaph,
And Kesed and Hazo and Pildash and Jidlaph and Bethuel.
23 as well as Bethuel, of whom was born Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore for Nahor, the brother of Abraham.
And Bethuel he fathered Rebekah eight [sons] these she bore Milcah to Nahor [the] brother of Abraham.
24 In truth, his concubine, named Reumah, bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
And concubine his and name her [was] Reumah and she bore also she Tebah and Gaham and Tahash and Maacah.
