And 1t came to pass after these things,
that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto
him, Abraham !: and he said, Behold, here |
am
And he said Take now thy son, thine only
son Isaac, whom thou lowest, and get thee in
TO the land of Moriah: and offer him there
for burnt-of1ering upon one of the noun
tains which / will tell thee of.
And Abraham rose up early in the MORN
ing, and saddled his ass, and took two of his
young men with him, and Isaac.his son, and
claye the wood for the burnt-offering, and
rose up, and went unto the place of which
God had told him.
Then on the third day Abraham lifted up
his eyes, and saw the place afar off,
And Abraham said unto his young men,
Abide ye here with the ass and and the
lad will 90 yonder and worship, and come
again to yOh.
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 knife ahd
they weht both of them together.
And Isaac spake unto Abraham his fa-
ther and said, My father: and he said, Here
am |, my son. Ard he said, Behold the fire
and the wood bdt where is the lamb for
burnt-offering?
And Abraham said My son. God will pro-
vide himself a lamb for Burnt-offering so
they went both of them together.
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.
10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand,
and took the knife to slay his son.
IL And the Angel of the LORD called unto
him out of heaven, and said Abraham, Abra-
ham; and he said. Here a1h l.
II And he said, Lay not thine hand upon
the lad, neither do thbu any thing unto him :
fornow known that thou fearest God, seeing
that thou hast not Withheld thy son, thine
only son, from me.
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and
looked, and beheld before him ram caught
In thicket by his horns, and Abraham
went and took the ram, and offered him up
for u burnt-offering in tie stead of his son.
IA And Abraham called the name of that
place Jehovahjireh; as 1t is said t1 this day, in

May gladly give up all to thee,
TO whom our more than all is due.
