Abrahams geloof op de proef gesteld
22 Enige tijd later stelde God Abraham op de proef. ‘Abraham!’ zei God. ‘Ja Here, hier ben ik,’ antwoordde Abraham. 2 ‘Neem uw zoon, uw enige, van wie u zoveel houdt, Isaak, ga naar het land Moria en offer hem daar als een brandoffer aan Mij. De plaats waar u dat moet doen, zal Ik u wijzen.’
3 De volgende morgen stond Abraham vroeg op, zadelde zijn ezel, nam twee knechten mee en zijn zoon Isaak. Hij hakte hout voor het offer en ging op weg naar de plaats die God had genoemd. 4 Na drie dagen reizen zag Abraham in de verte de plaats die God hem had gezegd. 5 ‘Jullie blijven hier bij de ezel,’ beval hij de twee dienaren, ‘ik en de jongen gaan daarheen om te aanbidden. Daarna komen wij hier terug.’ 6 Abraham liet Isaak het hout voor het offervuur dragen en nam zelf het mes en het vuur. Zo liepen zij samen verder.
7 ‘Vader,’ zei Isaak. ‘Wat is er, mijn jongen?’ vroeg Abraham. ‘We hebben hout en het vuur,’ zei Isaak, ‘maar waar is het lam dat wij moeten offeren?’ 8 ‘God zal Zelf voor een offerlam zorgen, jongen,’ antwoordde Abraham. En weer gingen zij samen verder. 9 Toen zij aankwamen op de plaats die God Abraham had aangewezen, bouwde Abraham een altaar en stapelde het hout erop. Toen bond hij Isaak vast en legde hem op het altaar, op het hout. 10 Hij pakte het mes en hief zijn arm op om zijn zoon te doden. 11 Op dat moment riep de Engel van de Here uit de hemel: ‘Abraham, Abraham!’ ‘Ik luister,’ antwoordde Abraham. 12 ‘Leg het mes weg en laat de jongen ongemoeid,’ zei de Engel. ‘Ik weet nu dat God de belangrijkste is in uw leven. Zelfs uw eigen zoon, uw enige, van wie u zoveel houdt, wilde u Mij geven.’
13 Abraham keek rond en zag vlakbij een ram, die met zijn horens in de struiken vastzat. In plaats van zijn zoon offerde hij die ram als een brandoffer op het altaar. 14 Abraham noemde die plaats ‘De Here voorziet erin.’ Daarom wordt ook nu nog gezegd: ‘Op de berg van de Here zal Hij voorzien.’
15 Toen sprak de Engel van de Here opnieuw tegen Abraham vanuit de hemel. 16,17 ‘Ik, de Here, heb Mijzelf gezworen dat Ik u en uw nageslacht rijk zal zegenen, omdat u Mij hebt gehoorzaamd en Mij zelfs uw enige zoon wilde geven. Uw nakomelingen zullen net zo talrijk zijn als de sterren aan de hemel en het zand langs de zee. 18 Zij zullen hun vijanden overwinnen en een zegen zijn voor alle volken van de wereld en dat alles, omdat u Mij hebt gehoorzaamd.’ 19 Abraham keerde terug naar zijn twee dienaren en samen gingen ze terug naar Berseba, hun woonplaats.
20 Enige tijd later kreeg Abraham bericht dat Milka, de vrouw van zijn broer Nachor, haar man acht zonen had gegeven. Us, de oudste, Buz, de op een na oudste, Kemuël (de vader van Aram), Kesed, Chazo, 21-24 Pildas, Jidlaf en Betuël (de vader van Rebekka). Nachor kreeg ook nog vier zonen van zijn bijvrouw Reüma: Tebach, Gacham, Tachas en Maächa.

Sacrificio d'Isacco
22 (A)Dopo queste cose, Dio mise alla prova *Abraamo e gli disse: «Abraamo!» Egli rispose: «Eccomi». 2 E Dio disse: «Prendi ora tuo figlio, il tuo unico, colui che ami, *Isacco, e va' nel paese di Moria, e offrilo là in olocausto sopra uno dei monti che ti dirò».
3 Abraamo si alzò la mattina di buon'ora, sellò il suo asino, prese con sé due suoi servi e suo figlio Isacco, spaccò della legna per l'olocausto, poi partí verso il luogo che Dio gli aveva indicato.
4 Il terzo giorno, Abraamo alzò gli occhi e vide da lontano il luogo. 5 Allora Abraamo disse ai suoi servi: «Rimanete qui con l'asino; io e il ragazzo andremo fin là e adoreremo; poi torneremo da voi». 6 Abraamo prese la legna per l'olocausto e la mise addosso a Isacco suo figlio, prese in mano il fuoco e il coltello, poi proseguirono tutti e due insieme. 7 Isacco parlò ad Abraamo suo padre e disse: «Padre mio!» Abraamo rispose: «Eccomi qui, figlio mio». E Isacco: «Ecco il fuoco e la legna; ma dov'è l'agnello per l'olocausto?» 8 Abraamo rispose: «Figlio mio, Dio stesso si provvederà l'agnello per l'olocausto». E proseguirono tutti e due insieme.
9 Giunsero al luogo che Dio gli aveva detto. Abraamo costruí l'altare e vi accomodò la legna; legò Isacco suo figlio, e lo mise sull'altare, sopra la legna. 10 Abraamo stese la mano e prese il coltello per scannare suo figlio. 11 Ma l'angelo del Signore lo chiamò dal cielo e disse: «Abraamo, Abraamo!» Egli rispose: «Eccomi». 12 E l'angelo: «Non stendere la mano contro il ragazzo e non fargli male! Ora so che tu temi Dio, poiché non mi hai rifiutato tuo figlio, l'unico tuo». 13 Abraamo alzò gli occhi, guardò, ed ecco dietro a sé un montone, impigliato per le corna in un cespuglio. Abraamo andò, prese il montone e l'offerse in olocausto invece di suo figlio. 14 Abraamo chiamò quel luogo «Iavè-Irè[a]». Per questo si dice oggi: «Al monte del Signore sarà provveduto».
15 L'angelo del Signore chiamò dal cielo Abraamo una seconda volta, e disse: 16 «Io giuro per me stesso, dice il Signore, che, siccome tu hai fatto questo e non mi hai rifiutato tuo figlio, l'unico tuo, 17 io ti colmerò di benedizioni e moltiplicherò la tua discendenza[b] come le stelle del cielo e come la sabbia che è sul lido del mare; e la tua discendenza s'impadronirà delle città dei suoi nemici. 18 Tutte le nazioni della terra saranno benedette nella tua discendenza[c], perché tu hai ubbidito alla mia voce».
19 Poi Abraamo tornò dai suoi servi. Essi si levarono e insieme andarono a Beer-Sceba. E Abraamo abitò a Beer-Sceba.
20 (B)Dopo queste cose fu riferito ad Abraamo questo: Ecco, Milca ha partorito anch'ella dei figli a Naor, tuo fratello: 21 Uz, il primogenito, Buz, suo fratello, 22 Chemuel padre d'Aram, Chesed, Azo, Pildas, Idlaf e Betuel.
23 E Betuel generò *Rebecca. Questi otto Milca partorí a Naor, fratello d'Abraamo. 24 E la concubina di lui, che si chiamava Reuma, partorí anch'essa Teba, Gaam, Taas e Maaca.

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’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.

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.
