And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.

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.

And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.
