Genesis 22 — OURB
22Verse 1After these things, God tested Abraham [Father of a multitude], and said to him, “Abraham [Father of a multitude]!” He said, “Here I am.”Verse 2He said, “Now take your son, your only son, whom you 'ahavta ·affectionately love·, even Isaac [Laughter], and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of.”Verse 3Abraham [Father of a multitude] rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac [Laughter] his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.Verse 4On the third day Abraham [Father of a multitude] lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.Verse 5Abraham [Father of a multitude] said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go yonder. We will hawa ·bow low, prostrate· in worship, and come back to you.”Verse 6Abraham [Father of a multitude] took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac [Laughter] his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together.Verse 7Isaac [Laughter] spoke to Abraham [Father of a multitude] his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”Verse 8Abraham [Father of a multitude] said,+“God will provide himself the lambfor a burnt offering, my son.” So they both went together.Verse 9They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham [Father of a multitude] built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac [Laughter] his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood.Verse 10Abraham [Father of a multitude] stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.Verse 11Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] called to him out of the sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham! [Father of a multitude, Father of a multitude]!” He said, “Here I am.”Verse 12He said, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”Verse 13Abraham [Father of a multitude] lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham [Father of a multitude] went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.Verse 14+Abraham [Father of a multitude] called the name of that place Yahweh Yeer'eh [Yahweh will be seen / He sustains breathing will provide]. As it is said to this day, “On Adonai ’s mountain, it will be provided.”Verse 15Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] called to Abraham [Father of a multitude] a second time out of the sky,Verse 16and said, “I have sworn by myself, says Adonai, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,Verse 17I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your offspring+greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore.+Your offspring will possess the gate of his enemies.Verse 18+By your offspring,+all the nations of the earth will be blessed+because you have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· my voice.”Verse 19So Abraham [Father of a multitude] returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath]. Abraham [Father of a multitude] lived at Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath].

These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s brother.Verse 24His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
