13
And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked and beheld behind
him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
14
And Abraham called the name of that place The LORD Shall See
(YHWH-jireh). Therefore it is said
to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
15
And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time
16
and said, By myself I have sworn, said the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing and hast not withheld thy son, thine only
son;
17
that in blessing I will bless thee and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which
is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gates of his enemies;
18
and in thy seed shall all the Gentiles of the earth be blessed because thou hast hearkened unto my voice.
19
So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
20
And it came to pass after these things that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she has also born sons unto thy brother Nahor;
21
Huz, his firstborn, and Buz, his brother, and Kemuel, the father of Aram
22
and Chesed and Hazo and Pildash and Jidlaph and Bethuel.
23
And Bethuel begat Rebekah. Milcah gave birth to these eight unto Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
