1
It happened after these things, that God tested Avraham, and said to him, "Avraham!" He said, "Here I am."
2
He said, "Now take your son, your only son, whom you love, even Yitzchak, and go into the land of Moriyah. Offer him there for a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of."
3
Avraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Yitzchak his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.
4
On the third day Avraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
5
Avraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go yonder. We will worship, and come back to you.
6
Avraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Yitzchak his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together.
7
Yitzchak spoke to Avraham his father, and said, "My father?" He said, "Here I am, my son." He said, "Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"
8
Avraham said, "God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they both went together.
9
They came to the place which God had told him of. Avraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Yitzchak his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood.
10
Avraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
