Abraham!  Here I am.

Then God said, 

Take your son, your only son,

whom you love—Isaac—and go

to the region of Moriah.

Sacrifice him there as a burnt

offering on a mountain I will

show you.

 Early the next morning Abraham got

up and loaded his donkey.

He took with him 2 of his

servants and his son Isaac.

When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about.

 On the 3rd day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.

He said to his servants, 

Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there.

We will worship and then we will come back to you.

1. Isaac 2. 2 servants 3. both answers are correct

Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac,

and he himself carried the fire and the knife.

As the two of them went on together,

Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham,*

Father? Yes, my son?

The fire and 

wood are here

but where is th

e 

lamb for th

e 

burnt offering?

God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt 

offering, my son

 And the 2 of them went on together.

When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar

there and arranged the wood on it.

He bound his son

Isaac and laid him on the altar, on

top of the wood.

Then he reached out his hand and

took the knife to slay

his son.

But the angel of the LORD called out to

him from heaven,

Abraham! Abraham!

Here I am!

Do not lay a hand on the boy,

Do not do anything to him.

Now I know that you fear God, because you

have not withheld from me your son, your only son.

 Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns.

  He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead

of his son.

So Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide.

And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the LORD

it will be provided.”

The angel of the LORD

called to Abraham

from heaven a 2nd time

and said,

I swear by myself, declares the LORD, that

because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only

son,

I will surely bless you

and make your descendants

as numerous as the

stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore..

Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies,  

and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have 

obeyed me.

Because you have done this and have

not withheld your son, your only son,

I will surely bless you.
