Genesis 22 Intro: Abraham commanded to offer Isaac -- His willingness accepted -- Relieved by divine interposition -- Names of Nahor's children.
1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did try Abraham and said unto him, Abraham; and Abraham said, Behold, here am I.
2 And the Lord said, Take now thy son, thine only 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 of which I will tell thee.
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,
4 And clave the wood for the burnt offering; and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
5 Then on the third day, Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place afar off.
6 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide you here with the ass, and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come to you again.
7 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon his back; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and Isaac his son; and they went both of them together.
8 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father! And he said, Here am I, my son.
9 And he said, Behold the fire and the wood; but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
10 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering. So they went both of them together; and they came to the place of which God had told him.
