He said, "Don't lay your hand on the boy, neither do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me."
13
Avraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Avraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
14
Avraham called the name of that place Yahweh-jireh. As it is said to this day, "In the LORD's mountain it will be provided.
15
The angel of the LORD called to Avraham a second time out of the sky,
16
and said, "I have sworn by myself, says the LORD, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
17
that in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is on the seashore. Your seed will possess the gate of his enemies.
18
In your seed will all the nations of the eretz be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice."
19
So Avraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Be'er-Sheva. Avraham lived at Be'er-Sheva.
20
It happened after these things, that it was told Avraham, saying, "Behold, Milkah, she also has borne children to your brother Nachor:
21
`Utz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemu'el the father of Aram,
22
Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Yidlaf, and Betu'el."
