(John 3:1–21)
1
Some time later God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!”Here I am,” he answered.
2
Take your son,” God said, “your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.”
3
So Abraham got up early the next morning, saddled his donkey, and took along two of his servants and his son Isaac. He split the wood for a burnt offering and set out for the place God had designated.
4
On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.
5
Stay here with the donkey,” Abraham told his servants. “The boy and I will go over there to worship, and then we will return to you.”
6
Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac. He himself carried the fire and the sacrificial knife, and the two of them walked on together.
7
Then Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father!”Here I am, my son,” he replied.The fire and the wood are here,” said Isaac, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
8
Abraham answered, “God Himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two walked on together.
9
When they arrived at the place God had designated, Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood. He bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar, atop the wood.
10
Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.

The LORD Provides the Sacrifice

11
Just then the angel (a) of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham, Abraham!”Here I am,” he replied.
12
Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him,” said the angel, “for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your only son from me.(b)
13
Then Abraham looked up and saw behind him a ram (c) in a thicket, caught by its horns. So he went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.
14
And Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide.(d) So to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.”
15
And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time,
16
saying, “By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your only son,
17
I will surely bless you, and I will multiply your descendants (e) like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will possess the gates of their enemies.
18
And through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed,(f) because you have obeyed My voice.”
19
Abraham went back to his servants, and they got up and set out together for Beersheba. And Abraham settled in Beersheba.

The Sons of Nahor

20
Some time later, Abraham was told, “Milcah has also borne sons to your brother Nahor:
21
Uz the firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel (the father of Aram),
22
Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
23
And Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight sons to Abraham’s brother Nahor.
24
Moreover, Nahor’s concubine, whose name was Reumah, bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.

1
After these things, God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
2
He said, “Now take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of.”
3
Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey; and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.
4
On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
5
Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there. We will worship, and come back to you.”
6
Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together.
7
Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”
8
Abraham said, “God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they both went together.
9
They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood.
10
Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.

The LORD Provides the Sacrifice

11
The LORD’s angel called to him out of the sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
12
He said, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”
13
Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
14
Abraham called the name of that placeThe LORD Will Provide”.(a) As it is said to this day, “On the LORD’s mountain, it will be provided.”
15
The LORD’s angel called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
16
and said, “‘I have sworn by myself,’ says the LORD, ‘because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
17
that I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your offspring greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gate of his enemies.
18
All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring, because you have obeyed my voice.’”
19
So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.

The Sons of Nahor

20
After these things, Abraham was told, “Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
21
Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
22
Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
23
Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
24
His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
