Genesis 22:1-8 ▼

1 After these sayinges, god did tempt Abraham, and sayde vnto him Abraham. Which answered, here I am.

2 And he saide: take thy sonne, thyne onlye sonne Isahac whom thou louest, & get thee vnto the lande Moriah, and offer him there for a burnt offering vpon one of the mountaines which I wyl shewe thee.

3 Then Abraham rose vp early in the mornyng, and sadled his Asse, and toke two of his young men with hym, and Isahac his sonne, and cloue wood for the burnt offering, and rose vp, and got hym to the place whiche God had appointed hym.

4 The thirde day Abraham lyft vp his eyes, and sawe the place a farre of:

5 And sayde vnto his young men, byde here with the Asse, I and the lad will go yonder & worship, and come agayne to you.

6 And Abraham toke the wood of the burnt offeryng, and layde it vpon Isahac his sonne: but he him selfe toke fire in his hande and a knyfe, and they went both of them together.

7 Then spake Isahac vnto Abraham his father, and sayd, my father. And he aunswered, here am I, my sonne. He sayde, see here is fyre and wood, but where is the beast for burnt sacrifice?

8 Abraham aunswered: My God wyll prouide a beast for burnt sacrifice: and so they went both together.
