1وَحَدَثَ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ أَنَّ اللَّهَ امْتَحَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ، يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ. فَقَالَ، هَئَنَذَا.2فَقَالَ، خُذِ ابْنَكَ وَحِيدَكَ الَّذِي تُحِبُّهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَاذْهَبْ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْمُرِيَّا، وَأَصْعِدْهُ هُنَاكَ مُحْرَقَةً عَلَى أَحَدِ الْجِبَالِ الَّذِي أَقُولُ لَكَ.3فَبَكَّرَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ صَبَاحاً وَشَدَّ عَلَى حِمَارِهِ، وَأَخَذَ اثْنَيْنِ مِنْ غِلْمَانِهِ مَعَهُ، وَإِسْحَاقَ ابْنَهُ، وَشَقَّقَ حَطَباً لِمُحْرَقَةٍ، وَقَامَ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي قَالَ لَهُ اللَّهُ.4وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ رَفَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَيْنَيْهِ وَأَبْصَرَ الْمَوْضِعَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ،5فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِغُلاَمَيْهِ، اجْلِسَا أَنْتُمَا هَهُنَا مَعَ الْحِمَارِ، وَأَمَّا أَنَا وَالْغُلاَمُ فَنَذْهَبُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ وَنَسْجُدُ، ثُمَّ نَرْجِعُ إِلَيْكُمَا.6فَأَخَذَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ حَطَبَ الْمُحْرَقَةِ وَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى إِسْحَاقَ ابْنِهِ، وَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ النَّارَ وَالسِّكِّينَ. فَذَهَبَا كِلاَهُمَا مَعاً.7وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبِيهِ، يَا أَبِي. فَقَالَ، هَئَنَذَا يَا ابْنِي. فَقَالَ، هُوَذَا النَّارُ وَالْحَطَبُ، وَلَكِنْ أَيْنَ الْخَرُوفُ لِلْمُحْرَقَةِ.8فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ، اللَّهُ يَرَى لَهُ الْخَرُوفَ لِلْمُحْرَقَةِ يَا ابْنِي. فَذَهَبَا كِلاَهُمَا مَعاً.9فَلَمَّا أَتَيَا إِلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي قَالَ لَهُ اللَّهُ، بَنَى هُنَاكَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ الْمَذْبَحَ وَرَتَّبَ الْحَطَبَ وَرَبَطَ إِسْحَاقَ ابْنَهُ وَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ فَوْقَ الْحَطَبِ.10ثُمَّ مَدَّ إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَدَهُ وَأَخَذَ السِّكِّينَ لِيَذْبَحَ ابْنَهُ.11فَنَادَاهُ مَلاَكُ الرَّبِّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَقَالَ، إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ. فَقَالَ، هَئَنَذَا12فَقَالَ، لاَ تَمُدَّ يَدَكَ إِلَى الْغُلاَمِ وَلاَ تَفْعَلْ بِهِ شَيْئاً، لأَنِّي الآنَ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ خَائِفٌ اللَّهَ، فَلَمْ تُمْسِكِ ابْنَكَ وَحِيدَكَ عَنِّي.13فَرَفَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَيْنَيْهِ وَنَظَرَ وَإِذَا كَبْشٌ وَرَاءَهُ مُمْسَكاً فِي الْغَابَةِ بِقَرْنَيْهِ، فَذَهَبَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَأَخَذَ الْكَبْشَ وَأَصْعَدَهُ مُحْرَقَةً عِوَضاً عَنِ ابْنِهِ.14فَدَعَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ اسْمَ ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعِ يَهْوَهْ يِرْأَهْ. حَتَّى إِنَّهُ يُقَالُ الْيَوْمَ، فِي جَبَلِ الرَّبِّ يُرَى.15وَنَادَى مَلاَكُ الرَّبِّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثَانِيَةً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ16وَقَالَ، بِذَاتِي أَقْسَمْتُ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، أَنِّي مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكَ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا الأَمْرَ، وَلَمْ تُمْسِكِ ابْنَكَ وَحِيدَكَ،17أُبَارِكُكَ مُبَارَكَةً، وَأُكَثِّرُ نَسْلَكَ تَكْثِيراً كَنُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ وَكَالرَّمْلِ الَّذِي عَلَى شَاطِئِ الْبَحْرِ، وَيَرِثُ نَسْلُكَ بَابَ أَعْدَائِهِ،18وَيَتَبَارَكُ فِي نَسْلِكَ جَمِيعُ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكَ سَمِعْتَ لِقَوْلِي.19ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِلَى غُلاَمَيْهِ، فَقَامُوا وَذَهَبُوا مَعاً إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ. وَسَكَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فِي بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ.20وَحَدَثَ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ، هُوَذَا مِلْكَةُ قَدْ وَلَدَتْ هِيَ أَيْضاً بَنِينَ لِنَاحُورَ أَخِيكَ،21عُوصاً بِكْرَهُ، وَبُوزاً أَخَاهُ، وَقَمُوئِيلَ أَبَا أَرَامَ،22وَكَاسَدَ، وَحَزْواً، وَفِلْدَاشَ، وَيِدْلاَفَ، وَبَتُوئِيلَ.23وَوَلَدَ بَتُوئِيلُ رِفْقَةَ. هَؤُلاَءِ الثَّمَانِيَةُ وَلَدَتْهُمْ مِلْكَةُ لِنَاحُورَ أَخِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ.24وَأَمَّا سُرِّيَّتُهُ، وَاسْمُهَا رَؤُومَةُ، فَوَلَدَتْ هِيَ أَيْضاً طَابَحَ وَجَاحَمَ وَتَاحَشَ وَمَعْكَةَ.
1And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am .2And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.3And 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 clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.4Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.5And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.6And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.7And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?8And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.9And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.10And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.11And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.12And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.13And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.14And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.15And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,16And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son :17That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;18And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.19So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.20And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;21Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,22And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.23And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother.24And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
