-
But God said, “No, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you shall name him Isaac; and I will establish My covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.
-
But I will establish My covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this season next year.”
-
Birth of Isaac Promised
Now the Lord appeared to Abraham by the oaks of Mamre, while he was sitting at the tent door in the heat of the day.
-
Isaac Is Born
Then the Lord took note of Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as He had promised.
-
Abraham named his son who was born to him, the son whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
-
Then Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
-
Now Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
-
And the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham held a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
-
Sarah Turns against Hagar
Now Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking Isaac.
-
Therefore she said to Abraham, “Drive out this slave woman and her son, for the son of this slave woman shall not be an heir with my son Isaac!”
-
But God said to Abraham, “Do not be distressed because of the boy and your slave woman; whatever Sarah tells you, listen to her, for through Isaac your descendants shall be named.
-
The Offering of Isaac
Now it came about after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”
-
Then He said, “Take now your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you.”
-
So Abraham got up early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him and his son Isaac; and he split wood for the burnt offering, and set out and went to the place of which God had told him.
-
And Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and laid it on his son Isaac, and he took in his hand the fire and the knife. So the two of them walked on together.
-
Isaac spoke to his father Abraham and said, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” And he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
-
Then they came to the place of which God had told him; and Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood, and bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.
-
A Bride for Isaac
Now Abraham was old, advanced in age; and the Lord had blessed Abraham in every way.
-
but you will go to my country and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”
-
now may it be that the young woman to whom I say, ‘Please let down your jar so that I may drink,’ and who answers, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels also’—may she be the one whom You have appointed for Your servant Isaac; and by this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master.”
-
Isaac Marries Rebekah
Now Isaac had come back from a journey to Beer-lahai-roi; for he was living in the Negev.
-
Isaac went out to meditate in the field toward evening; and he raised his eyes and looked, and behold, camels were coming.
-
Rebekah raised her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she dismounted from the camel.
-
The servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
-
Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and he took Rebekah, and she became his wife, and he loved her; so Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
