22:6 Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and put it on his son Isaac. Then he took the fire and the knife in his hand, ¹  and the two of them walked on together. 22:7 Isaac said to his father Abraham, ²  “My father?” “What is it, ³  my son?” he replied. “Here is the fire and the wood,” Isaac said, ⁴  “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?” 22:8 “God will provide ⁵  for himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son,” Abraham replied. The two of them continued on together.

22:9 When they came to the place God had told him about, Abraham built the altar there ⁶  and arranged the wood on it. Next he tied up ⁷  his son Isaac and placed him on the altar on top of the wood. 22:10 Then Abraham reached out his hand, took the knife, and prepared to slaughter ⁸  his son. 22:11 But the Lord’s angel ⁹  called to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Here I am!” he answered. 22:12 “Do not harm the boy!” ¹⁰  the angel said. ¹¹  “Do not do anything to him, for now I know ¹²  that you fear ¹³  God because you did not withhold your son, your only son, from me.”

22:13 Abraham looked up ¹⁴  and saw ¹⁵  behind him ¹⁶  a ram caught in the bushes by its horns. So he ¹⁷  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.” ¹⁸  It is said to this day, ¹⁹  “In the mountain of the Lord provision will be made.” ²⁰
