Genesis Chapter 22 (CSB)

Compare with Version:

¹ After these things God tested Abraham ⓑ and said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he answered.

² “Take your son,” he said, “your only son Isaac, whom you love, ⓒ go to the land of Moriah, ⓓ and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about.”

³ So Abraham got up early in the morning, ⓔ saddled his donkey, and took with him two of his young men and his son Isaac. He split wood for a burnt offering and set out to go to the place God had told him about.

⁴ On the third day ⓕ Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.

⁵ Then Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there to worship; then we’ll come back to you.”

⁶ Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and laid it on his son Isaac. ⓖ In his hand he took the fire and the knife, ⓗ and the two of them walked on together.

⁷ Then Isaac spoke to his father Abraham and said, “My father.” And he replied, “Here I am, my son.” Isaac said, “The fire and the wood are here, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”

⁸ Abraham answered, “God himself will provide [1] ⓘ the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” Then the two of them walked on together.

⁹ When they arrived at the place that God had told him about, Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood. He bound his son Isaac [2] and placed him on the altar ⓙ on top of the wood.

¹⁰ Then Abraham reached out and took the knife to slaughter his son.

¹¹ But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” He replied, “Here I am.”

¹² Then he said, “Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your only son from me.” ⓚ

¹³ Abraham looked up and saw a ram [3] caught in the thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.

¹⁴ And Abraham named that place The LORD Will Provide, [4] so today it is said: “It will be provided [5] on the LORD’s mountain.”

¹⁵ Then the angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time from heaven

¹⁶ and said, “By myself I have sworn,” ⓛ this is the LORD’s declaration: “Because you have done this thing and have not withheld your only son,

¹⁷ I will indeed bless you ⓜ and make your offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky ⓝ and the sand on the seashore. ⓐ Your offspring will possess the city gates of their enemies. ⓑ

¹⁸ And all the nations of the earth will be blessed [6] by your offspring ⓒ because you have obeyed my command.”

¹⁹ Abraham went back to his young men, and they got up and went together to Beer-sheba. And Abraham settled in Beer-sheba.

²⁰ Now after these things Abraham was told, “Milcah also has borne sons to your brother Nahor: ⓓ

²¹ Uz his firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel the father of Aram,

²² Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”

²³ And Bethuel fathered Rebekah. ⓔ Milcah bore these eight to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.

²⁴ His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
