Genesis 22

The Sacrifice of Isaac
22 After these things God tested Abraham(A) and said to him, “Abraham!”
“Here I am,” he answered.
2 “Take your son,” he said, “your only son Isaac, whom you love,(B) go to the land of Moriah,(C) and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about.”
3 So Abraham got up early in the morning,(D) saddled his donkey, and took with him two of his young men and his son Isaac. He split wood for a burnt offering and set out to go to the place God had told him about. 4 On the third day(E) Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. 5 Then Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there to worship; then we’ll come back to you.” 6 Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and laid it on his son Isaac.(F) In his hand he took the fire and the knife,(G) and the two of them walked on together.
7 Then Isaac spoke to his father Abraham and said, “My father.”
And he replied, “Here I am, my son.”
Isaac said, “The fire and the wood are here, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
8 Abraham answered, “God himself will provide[a](H) the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” Then the two of them walked on together.
9 When they arrived at the place that God had told him about, Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood. He bound his son Isaac[b] and placed him on the altar(I) on top of the wood. 10 Then Abraham reached out and took the knife to slaughter his son.
11 But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!”
He replied, “Here I am.”
12 Then he said, “Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your only son from me.”(J) 13 Abraham looked up and saw a ram[c] caught in the thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son. 14 And Abraham named that place The Lord Will Provide,[d] so today it is said, “It will be provided[e] on the Lord’s mountain.”
15 Then the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven 16 and said, “By myself I have sworn,”(K) this is the Lord’s declaration: “Because you have done this thing and have not withheld your only son, 17 I will indeed bless you(L) and make your offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky(M) and the sand on the seashore.(N) Your offspring will possess the city gates of their[f] enemies.(O) 18 And all the nations of the earth will be blessed[g] by your offspring(P) because you have obeyed my command.”
19 Abraham went back to his young men, and they got up and went together to Beer-sheba. And Abraham settled in Beer-sheba.
Rebekah’s Family
20 Now after these things Abraham was told, “Milcah also has borne sons to your brother Nahor:(Q) 21 Uz his firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel the father of Aram, 22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.” 23 And Bethuel fathered Rebekah.(R) Milcah bore these eight to Nahor, Abraham’s brother. 24 His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
Genesis 22
King James Version
22 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.
7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
11 And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold 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 in the stead of his son.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as 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 have I sworn, saith 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 gate of his enemies;
18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed 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 hath also born children 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: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.

Abraham offrar Isak
22 En tid därefter satte Gud Abraham på prov. Han sade till honom: "Abraham!" Han svarade: "Ja, här är jag." 2 Då sade han: "Tag din son Isak, din ende son, som du älskar, och gå till Moria land och offra honom där som bränn-offer på ett berg som jag skall visa dig."
3 Tidigt nästa morgon sadlade Abraham sin åsna och tog med sig två av sina tjänare och sin son Isak. Sedan han huggit ved till brännoffer, gav han sig i väg mot den plats som Gud hade sagt åt honom att gå till. 4 När Abraham på tredje dagen lyfte blicken fick han se platsen på avstånd. 5 Han sade då till sina tjänare: "Stanna här med åsnan. Jag och pojken går dit bort för att tillbe, och sedan kommer vi tillbaka till er." 6 Abraham tog veden till brännoffret och lade den på sin son Isak, men själv tog han elden och kniven, och de gick båda tillsammans. 7 Isak sade till sin far Abraham: "Far!" Han svarade: "Ja, min son?" Han sade: "Vi har eld och ved, men var är lammet till brännoffret?" 8 Abraham svarade: "Gud kommer att utse åt sig lammet till brännoffret, min son." Så fortsatte de sin vandring tillsammans.
9 När de kommit fram till den plats som Gud hade sagt till Abraham, byggde han ett altare där och gjorde i ordning veden. Sedan band han sin son Isak och lade honom på altaret ovanpå veden. 10 Och Abraham räckte ut handen och tog kniven för att slakta sin son. 11 Då ropade Herrens ängel till honom från himlen: "Abraham! Abraham!" Han svarade: "Här är jag." 12 Då sade han: "Lyft inte din hand mot pojken och gör honom ingenting. Nu vet jag att du fruktar Gud, då du inte ens har undanhållit mig din ende son." 13 Abraham såg sig omkring och fick då bakom sig syn på en bagge som hade fastnat med hornen i ett snår. Abraham gick dit och tog baggen och offrade den till brännoffer i stället för sin son. 14 Och Abraham kallade platsen Herren förser. I dag säger man: Berget där Herren förser.
15 Herrens ängel ropade ännu en gång till Abraham från himlen: 16 "Jag svär vid mig själv, säger Herren: Eftersom du har gjort detta och inte undanhållit mig din ende son, 17 skall jag rikligen välsigna dig och göra dina efterkommande talrika som stjärnorna på himlen och som sanden på havets strand, och din avkomma skall inta sina fienders portar. 18 I din avkomma skall alla jordens folk bli välsignade, därför att du lyssnade till min röst."
19 Sedan vände Abraham tillbaka till sina tjänare, och de bröt upp och gick tillsammans till Beer-Sheba. Och Abraham bodde i Beer-Sheba.
Nahors släkttavla
20 Sedan berättade man för Abraham och sade: Också Milka har fött barn åt din bror Nahor: 21 Us, hans förstfödde, och Bus, dennes bror, och Kemuel, Arams far, 22 samt Kesed, Haso, Pildas, Jidlaf och Betuel. 23 Betuel blev far till Rebecka. Dessa åtta födde Milka åt Abrahams bror Nahor. 24 Hans bihustru, som hette Reuma, födde Teba, Gaham, Tahash och Maaka.
