The test of Abraham

Childrens

22Later the Lord tested Abraham, saying to him, ‘Abraham’; and he answered, ‘Here I am.’ 2The Lord said, ‘Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I will show you.’

3So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey and took two of his servants with him, and his son Isaac. When he had split the wood for the burnt-offering, he set out for the place of which God had told him. 4On the third day, when Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance, 5he said to his servants, ‘Stay here with the donkey, while I and the boy go over there. When we have worshipped, we will come back to you.’

6Then Abraham took the wood for the burnt-offering and laid it on Isaac, his son. He took the fire and the knife, and they both went on together. 7Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, ‘My father!’ and Abraham answered, ‘Yes, my son.’ Isaac said, ‘Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt-offering?’ 8Abraham answered, ‘My son, God will himself provide a lamb for a burnt-offering.’ So the two went on together.

9When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built the altar there and laid the wood on it and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar upon the wood. 10Then Abraham reached out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son. 11But the messenger of the Lord called to him from heaven, saying, ‘Abraham, Abraham!’ and he answered, ‘Here am I.’ 12He said, ‘Do not put your hand upon the boy, nor do anything to him, for now I know that you love God, for you have not refused to give your son, your only son, to me.’

13Then Abraham looked up, and he saw a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. 14So Abraham took the ram and offered him up as a burnt-offering instead of his son. 15He named the place ‘The Lord will provide’ — and even today people say, ‘The Lord will provide on his mountain.’

16The messenger of the Lord again called to Abraham and said, ‘The Lord declares, “Because you have done this thing and have not kept back your son, your only son, 17I will surely bless you. I will make your children as many as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore, so that they will conquer their enemies. 18All the nations of the earth will ask for themselves a blessing like theirs, because you have obeyed my command.” ’Students

19So Abraham returned to his servants, and they arose and went together to Beer-sheba.

Genealogy

Abraham was living in Beer-sheba. 20After these things, Abraham was told, ‘Milcah has also borne children to your brother Nahor, 21Uz his first born, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram, 22Chesed, Hazo and Pildash, Jidlaph and Bethuel.’ 23(And Bethuel fathered Rebekah). These eight Mileah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother. 24And his concubine whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maaeah.
