1 | After these things God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here am I." |
2 | He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Mori'ah, and offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains of which I shall tell you." |
11 | But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven, and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" And he said, "Here am I." |
12 | He said, "Do not lay your hand on the lad or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me." |
16 | and said, "By myself I have sworn, says the LORD, because you have done this, and have not withheld your son, your only son, |
17 | I will indeed bless you, and I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore. And your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies, |
18 | and by your descendants shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves, because you have obeyed my voice." |
