Bible: Gen. 12:1-3; 22:13-15

The Obedience of Abram

12:1 Now the Lord said 1  to Abram, 2 

“Go out 3  from your country, your relatives, and your father’s household

to the land that I will show you. 4 

12:2 Then I will make you 5  into a great nation, and I will bless you, 6 

and I will make your name great, 7 

so that you will exemplify divine blessing. 8 

12:3 I will bless those who bless you, 9 

but the one who treats you lightly 10  I must curse,

and all the families of the earth will bless one another 11  by your name.”

22:13 Abraham looked up 1  and saw 2  behind him 3  a ram caught in the bushes by its horns. So he 4  went over and got the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son. 22:14 And Abraham called the name of that place “The Lord provides.” 5  It is said to this day, 6 In the mountain of the Lord provision will be made.” 7 

22:15 The Lord’s angel called to Abraham a second time from heaven
