22:1 God tests Abraham over Yitshak
22 Several years later, God decided to test Abraham, calling him, “Abraham.”[ref]
“Here I am,” he replied.
2 “Take your son Yitshak who you love, your only son,” God commanded him, “and go to the Moriah region and sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I’ll point out to you.”[ref]
3 So Abraham got up early in the morning and saddled his donkey. Then he took two of his young men with him and his son Yitshak, and he cut some firewood for the burnt offering. Then they left to go to the place that God had told him. 4 On the third day Abraham looked up ahead and he could see the place from a distance, 5 so he said to his young men, “Stay here by yourselves with the donkey while the boy and I go over there to worship God, then we’ll come back to you here.”
6 So Abraham took the firewood for the burnt offering and put it on his son Yitshak, and he carried the fire pot and the knife. Then the two of them went on together, 7 and Yitshak asked his father Abraham his father, “My father?”
“Yes, son?”, he replied.
“We’ve got the fire and the wood,”, he continued, “but where’s the lamb for the burnt offering?”
8 “God will provide the lamb for the burnt offering himself, my son,” Abraham answered, and then the two of them continued on together.
9 Then they came to the place that God had told him, and Abraham built an altar there and arranged the firewood on it. Then he tied up his son Yitshak and laid him on the altar on top of the wood.[ref] 10 Then Abraham took the knife and raised his arm to kill his son, 11 but one of Yahweh’s messengers called to him from the sky and said, “Abraham! Abraham!”
“Here I am.” he answered.
12 “Don’t lift up your hand against the boy,” the messenger continued. “And don’t do anything to him, because now I know that you respect and obey God, since you haven’t withheld your son, your only son, from me.”
13 Then Abraham raised his head and looked around, and wow, there was a ram was behind him, caught by its horns in the thicket. So Abraham went and grabbed the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. 14 So Abraham named that place ‘Yahweh will provide’, and to this day it’s still said, “Yahweh will provide on his mountain.”
15 Then the Yahweh’s messenger called Abraham from the sky a second time 16 saying, “I, Yahweh, make this declaration by my authority and truth that because you did that and didn’t withhold your only son,[ref] 17 I’ll bless you tremendously and I’ll cause your descendants to be as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the beach, and your descendants will be victorious over their enemies.[ref] 18 Because you obeyed what I said, all the nations of the earth will be blessed through your descendants.”[ref] 19 Then Abraham returned to his young men and they all continued on home together to Beersheba, and Abraham continued living there.
Heb 11:17-19:
17 By faith, Abraham when he was tested offered up Isaac.[ref] He had received the promises and offered his only son that he’d given birth to—18 the one about which it had been said: ‘Your descendants will be named through Isaac.’ 19 Abraham had reckoned that God was powerful enough to bring him back to life from the dead, and in a manner of speaking, that’s what happened.
2Ch 3:1:
Jam 2:21:
21 Wasn’t our ancestor Abraham considered right with God due to his actions when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar?[ref]
Heb 6:13-14:
6:13 God’s certain promise and oath
13 When God made promises to Abraham, because he didn’t have anyone more powerful to take an oath in front of, he did it in his own name 14 saying: ‘I will certainly bless you and will cause you to have many descendants.’[ref]
Heb 11:12:
12 So it was that descendants came from that one man in his old age[ref] and they became as numerous as the stars in the sky and uncountable like grains of sand on the beach.
Acts 3:25:
25 [ref]And you are the descendants of those prophets, and part of the agreement between God and your ancestors, when he told Abraham, ‘All the families in the world will be blessed by one of your descendants.’
