- Some time later ... ... God tested - Abraham and said to him , “ Abraham ! ” “ Here I am , ” he answered.
| LXX |
“ Take ... - your son , ” - (God) said , “ your only son Isaac , whom you love , - and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains , which I will show you. ”
| LXX |
So Abraham got up early the next morning , saddled - his donkey , and took - along - two of his servants and his son Isaac. He split the wood for a burnt offering and set out for ... ... the place - God had designated
| LXX |
On the third day Abraham - looked up ... and saw - the place in the distance.
| LXX |
“ Stay here with the donkey , ” Abraham told ... his servants. “ The boy and I will go over there to worship , and then we will return to you. ”
| LXX |
Abraham - took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac. He himself carried ... - the fire - and the sacrificial knife , and the two of them walked on together.
| LXX |
Then Isaac said to his father Abraham - , “ My father ! ” “ Here I am , my son , ” he replied. “ The fire and the wood are here , ” said Isaac , “ but where is the lamb for the burnt offering ? ”
| LXX |
Abraham answered , “ God will provide the lamb for the burnt offering , my son. ” And the two walked on together.
| LXX |
When they arrived at the place God had designated Abraham - built the altar there and arranged - the wood. He bound - his son Isaac and placed him on the altar , atop the wood.
| LXX |
Then Abraham - reached out his hand and took - the knife to slaughter - his son.
| LXX |
Just then the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven - , “ Abraham , Abraham ! ” “ Here I am , ” he replied.
| LXX |
“ Do not lay a hand on the boy ... or do anything said (the angel) , “ for now I know that you fear God , since you have not withheld - your only son - from me. ”
| LXX |
Then Abraham - looked up ... and saw behind (him) a ram in a thicket , caught by its horns. So (he) went and took - the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.
| LXX |
And Abraham called ... that place The LORD Will Provide. So to this day it is said , “ On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided. ”
| LXX |
And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time ,
| LXX |
saying , I have sworn , declares the LORD , that because - you have done - this ... and have not withheld - your only son , -
| LXX |
I will surely bless you ... , and I will multiply ... - your descendants like the stars in the sky and the sand - on the seashore .... Your descendants - will possess the gates of their enemies.
| LXX |
And through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed , because - you have obeyed My voice. ”
| LXX |
Abraham went back to his servants , and they got up and set out together for vvv Beersheba. And Abraham settled in Beersheba.
| LXX |
