Then God said: “No, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his descendants after him.
-
But My covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this set time next year.”
-
Isaac Is Born
And the Lord visited Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as He had spoken.
-
And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him—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 one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
-
Hagar and Ishmael Depart
So the child grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the same day that Isaac was weaned.
-
Therefore she said to Abraham, “Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, namely with Isaac.”
-
But God said to Abraham, “Do not let it be displeasing in your sight because of the lad or because of your bondwoman. Whatever Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice; for in Isaac your seed shall be called.
-
Then He said, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”
-
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.
-
So Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and the two of them went together.
-
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 lamb for a burnt offering?”
-
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 laid him on the altar, upon the wood.
-
A Bride for Isaac
Now Abraham was old, well advanced in age; and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things.
-
but you shall go to my country and to my family, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”
-
Now let it be that the young woman to whom I say, ‘Please let down your pitcher that I may drink,’ and she says, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink’—let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. And by this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master.”
-
Now Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he dwelt in the South.
-
And Isaac went out to meditate in the field in the evening; and he lifted his eyes and looked, and there, the camels were coming.
-
Then Rebekah lifted her eyes, and when she saw Isaac she dismounted from her camel;
-
And 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.
-
And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.
-
But Abraham gave gifts to the sons of the concubines which Abraham had; and while he was still living he sent them eastward, away from Isaac his son, to the country of the east.
