Genesis Chapter 22 (Passion Bible)

Compare with Version:

¹ Some time later, God tested Abraham.[1]

² God said, “Please[3] take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom I know you dearly love,[4] and go to the land of Moriah.[5] Offer him up to me as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will show you.”

³ Early the next morning, Abraham cut the wood for the burnt offering, loaded it on his donkey, and set out for the distant place God had shown him. He took with him two of his servants, and his son Isaac.

⁴ On the third day,[6] Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.

⁵ “Stay here with the donkey,” Abraham told the young men. “Isaac[7] and I will go up and worship;[8] then we[9] will return to you.”

⁶ So Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on Isaac’s back.[10] Abraham carried the knife and the fire,[11] and the two of them walked up the mountain together.

⁷ “Father?” Isaac broke the silence.

⁸ Abraham answered, “My son, God himself will provide[12] the lamb for an offering.” So they went on together.

⁹ When they arrived at the place on Mount Moriah that God had shown him, Abraham built an altar and stacked the wood on it. He tied up his son Isaac and laid him on top of the wood on the altar.

¹⁰ Then Abraham took the knife in his hand to plunge it into his son,

¹¹ but the angel of Yahweh called to him from heaven, saying, “Abraham! Abraham!”

¹² “Do not lay a hand on the boy or harm him,” he said, “for now, I know you are fully dedicated to me,[13] since you did not withhold your son, your beloved son,[14] from me.”

¹³ As Abraham looked up, his eyes fell upon a ram caught by its horns in a nearby thicket. Abraham took the ram and sacrificed it on the altar as a burnt offering in Isaac’s place.[15]

¹⁴ So Abraham named that place Yahweh Appears.[16] Even to this day, it is said, “On Yahweh’s Mountain there is vision.”[17]

¹⁵ Yahweh’s angel spoke a second time from heaven:

¹⁶ “ ‘I solemnly promise you,

¹⁷

¹⁸ Because you have obeyed me,

¹⁹ So Abraham and Isaac returned to the waiting servants, and they departed for Beersheba, where Abraham had settled.[21]

²⁰ Some time later Abraham heard the news, “You’re an uncle! Milcah and your brother Nahor have eight sons: Uz, their firstborn, Buz[22] his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,[23] Chesed,[24] Hazo,[25] Phildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel the father of Rebekah.”[26]

²⁴ Moreover, Nahor had another wife,[27] Reumah, who also had four sons: Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
