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.

Dios prueba a Abraham
22 Aconteció que después de estas cosas, Dios probó a Abraham(A), y le dijo: ¡Abraham! Y él respondió: Heme aquí(B). 2 Y Dios dijo: Toma ahora a tu hijo, tu único(C), a quien amas, a Isaac, y ve a la tierra de Moriah(D), y ofrécelo allí en holocausto(E) sobre uno de los montes que yo te diré. 3 Abraham se levantó muy de mañana, aparejó su asno y tomó con él a dos de sus mozos y a su hijo Isaac; y partió leña para el holocausto, y se levantó y fue al lugar que Dios le había dicho. 4 Al tercer día alzó Abraham los ojos y vio el lugar de lejos. 5 Entonces Abraham dijo a sus mozos: Quedaos aquí con el asno; yo y el muchacho iremos hasta allá, adoraremos y volveremos a vosotros. 6 Tomó Abraham la leña del holocausto y la puso sobre Isaac(F) su hijo, y tomó en su mano el fuego y el cuchillo. Y los dos iban juntos. 7 Y habló Isaac a su padre Abraham, y le dijo: Padre mío. Y él respondió: Heme aquí, hijo mío. Y dijo Isaac: Aquí están el fuego y la leña, pero ¿dónde está el cordero para el holocausto(G)? 8 Y Abraham respondió: Dios proveerá[a] para sí el cordero para el holocausto, hijo mío. Y los dos iban juntos.
9 Llegaron al lugar que Dios le había dicho(H) y Abraham edificó allí el altar(I), arregló la leña, ató a su hijo Isaac y lo puso en el altar sobre la leña(J). 10 Entonces Abraham extendió su mano y tomó el cuchillo para sacrificar a su hijo. 11 Mas el ángel del Señor lo llamó desde el cielo(K) y dijo: ¡Abraham, Abraham! Y él respondió: Heme aquí. 12 Y el ángel dijo: No extiendas tu mano contra el muchacho, ni le hagas nada; porque ahora sé que temes[b] a Dios(L), ya que no me has rehusado[c] tu hijo, tu único(M). 13 Entonces Abraham alzó los ojos y miró, y he aquí, vio un carnero detrás de él trabado por los cuernos en un matorral; y Abraham fue, tomó el carnero y lo ofreció en holocausto en lugar de su hijo. 14 Y llamó Abraham aquel lugar con el nombre de El Señor Proveerá[d], como se dice hasta hoy: En el monte del Señor se proveerá[e](N). 15 El ángel del Señor llamó a Abraham por segunda vez desde el cielo, 16 y dijo: Por mí mismo he jurado(O), declara el Señor, que por cuanto has hecho esto y no me has rehusado[f] tu hijo, tu único, 17 de cierto te bendeciré grandemente, y multiplicaré en gran manera tu descendencia[g] como las estrellas del cielo(P) y como la arena en la orilla del mar(Q), y tu descendencia poseerá la puerta de sus enemigos(R). 18 Y en tu simiente serán bendecidas[h] todas las naciones de la tierra(S), porque tú has obedecido mi voz(T). 19 Entonces Abraham volvió a sus mozos(U), y se levantaron y fueron juntos a Beerseba. Y habitó Abraham en Beerseba.
La familia de Rebeca
20 Y aconteció después de estas cosas, que le dieron noticia a Abraham, diciendo: He aquí que Milca también[i] le ha dado a luz hijos a tu hermano Nacor(V): 21 Uz su primogénito, Buz su hermano, y Kemuel, padre de Aram, 22 Quesed, Hazo, Pildas, Jidlaf y Betuel. 23 Y Betuel engendró a Rebeca. Estos ocho hijos dio a luz Milca a Nacor, hermano de Abraham(W). 24 También su concubina, de nombre Reúma, dio a luz a Teba, a Gaham, a Tahas y a Maaca.

Abraham Tested
22 Some time later God tested(A) Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!”
“Here I am,”(B) he replied.
2 Then God said, “Take your son(C), your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah.(D) Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering(E) on a mountain I will show you.(F)”
3 Early the next morning(G) 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.(H)”
6 Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac,(I) and he himself carried the fire and the knife.(J) 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(K) for the burnt offering?”
8 Abraham answered, “God himself will provide(L) the lamb(M) 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,(N) Abraham built an altar(O) there and arranged the wood(P) on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar,(Q) on top of the wood. 10 Then he reached out his hand and took the knife(R) to slay his son.(S) 11 But the angel of the Lord(T) called out to him from heaven,(U) “Abraham! Abraham!”(V)
“Here I am,”(W) he replied.
12 “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God,(X) because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.(Y)”
13 Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram[a] caught by its horns.(Z) He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son.(AA) 14 So Abraham called(AB) that place The Lord(AC) Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.(AD)”
15 The angel of the Lord(AE) called to Abraham from heaven(AF) a second time 16 and said, “I swear by myself,(AG) declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son,(AH) 17 I will surely bless you(AI) and make your descendants(AJ) as numerous as the stars in the sky(AK) and as the sand on the seashore.(AL) Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies,(AM) 18 and through your offspring[b] all nations on earth will be blessed,[c](AN) because you have obeyed me.”(AO)
19 Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they set off together for Beersheba.(AP) And Abraham stayed in Beersheba.
Nahor’s Sons
20 Some time later Abraham was told, “Milkah is also a mother; she has borne sons to your brother Nahor:(AQ) 21 Uz(AR) the firstborn, Buz(AS) his brother, Kemuel (the father of Aram), 22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph and Bethuel.(AT)” 23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah.(AU) Milkah bore these eight sons to Abraham’s brother Nahor.(AV) 24 His concubine,(AW) whose name was Reumah, also had sons: Tebah, Gaham, Tahash and Maakah.

Abraham’s Faith Confirmed(A)
22 Now it came to pass after these things that (B)God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!”
And he said, “Here I am.”
2 Then He said, “Take now your son, (C)your only son Isaac, whom you (D)love, and go (E)to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a (F)burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”
3 So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him. 4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place afar off. 5 And Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey; the [a]lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will (G)come back to you.”
6 So Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and (H)laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and the two of them went together. 7 But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!”
And he said, “Here I am, my son.”
Then he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the [b]lamb for a burnt offering?”
8 And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the (I)lamb for a (J)burnt offering.” So the two of them went together.
9 Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and (K)laid him on the altar, upon the wood. 10 And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.
11 But the (L)Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!”
So he said, “Here I am.”
12 And He said, (M)“Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for (N)now I know that you fear God, since you have not (O)withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”
13 Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son. 14 And Abraham called the name of the place, [c]The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.”
15 Then the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, 16 and said: (P)“By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son— 17 blessing I will (Q)bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants (R)as the stars of the heaven (S)and as the sand which is on the seashore; and (T)your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. 18 (U)In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, (V)because you have obeyed My voice.” 19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose and went together to (W)Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
The Family of Nahor
20 Now it came to pass after these things that it was told Abraham, saying, “Indeed (X)Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor: 21 (Y)Huz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father (Z)of Aram, 22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.” 23 And (AA)Bethuel begot [d]Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother. 24 His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Thahash, and Maachah.
