Genesis 22

¹And after these things God did proue Abraham, and said vnto him, Abraham. Who answered, Here am I.

²And he said, Take nowe thine onely sonne Izhak whom thou louest, and get thee vnto the land of Moriah, and offer him there for a burnt offering vpon one of the mountaines, which I will shewe thee.

³Then Abraham rose vp early in the morning, and sadled his asse, and tooke two of his seruants with him, and Izhak his sonne, and cloue wood for the burnt offering, and rose vp and went to the place, which God had tolde him.

⁴Then the third day Abraham lift vp his eyes, and sawe the place afarre off,

⁵And said vnto his seruants, Abide you here with the asse: for I and the childe will go yonder and worship, and come againe vnto you.

⁶Then Abraham tooke the wood of the burnt offering, and layed it vpon Izhak his sonne, and he tooke the fire in his hand, and the knife: and they went both together.

⁷Then spake Izhak vnto Abraham his father, and said, My father. And he answered, Here am I, my sonne. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood, but where is the lambe for ye burnt offring?

⁸Then Abraham answered, My sonne, God will prouide him a lambe for a burnt offering: so they went both together.

⁹And when they came to the place which God had shewed him, Abraham builded an altar there, and couched ye wood, and bound Izhak his sonne and laid him on the altar vpon the wood.

¹⁰And Abraham stretching forth his hand, tooke the knife to kill his sonne.

¹¹But the Angel of the Lord called vnto him from heauen, saying, Abraham, Abraham. And he answered, Here am I.
