³ Early the next morning^(A) Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about. ⁴ On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. ⁵ He said to his servants, “Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you.^(B)”

⁶ Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac,^(C) and he himself carried the fire and the knife.^(D) As the two of them went on together, ⁷ Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, “Father?”

“Yes, my son?” Abraham replied.

“The fire and wood are here,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb^(E) for the burnt offering?”

⁸ Abraham answered, “God himself will provide^(F) the lamb^(G) for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together.

⁹ When they reached the place God had told him about,^(H) Abraham built an altar^(I) there and arranged the wood^(J) on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar,^(K) on top of the wood. ¹⁰ Then he reached out his hand and took the knife^(L) to slay his son.^(M)

⁶² Now Isaac had come from Beer Lahai Roi,^(A) for he was living in the Negev.^{(B) 63} He went out to the field one evening to meditate,^[a](C) and as he looked up,^(D) he saw camels approaching. ⁶⁴ Rebekah also looked up and saw Isaac. She got down from her camel^{(E) 65} and asked the servant, “Who is that man in the field coming to meet us?”

“He is my master,” the servant answered. So she took her veil^(F) and covered herself.

⁶⁶ Then the servant told Isaac all he had done. ⁶⁷ Isaac brought her into the tent^(G) of his mother Sarah,^(H) and he married Rebekah.^(I) So she became his wife, and he loved her;^(J) and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.^(K)

³ (Now Moses was a very humble man,^(A) more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.)

²⁹ Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,^(A) for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.^(B)

⁴ Rather, it should be that of your inner self,^(A) the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.^{(B) 5} For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God^(C) used to adorn themselves.^(D) They submitted themselves to their own husbands,
