1 And it came to pass after these things that God proved Abraham and said unto him, Abraham; and he said, Behold, here I am.
2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou dost love, and go to the land of Moriah and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning and saddled his ass and took two of his young men with him and Isaac his son, and cut the wood for the burnt offering and rose up and went unto the place of which God had told him.
4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place afar off.
5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide here with the ass, and I and the lad will go yonder and worship and come again to you.
