22:6 Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and put it on his son Isaac. Then he took the fire and the knife in his hand, 1 and the two of them walked on together. 22:7 Isaac said to his father Abraham, 2 “My father?” “What is it, 3 my son?” he replied. “Here is the fire and the wood,” Isaac said, 4 “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?” 22:8 “God will provide 5 for himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son,” Abraham replied. The two of them continued on together.
22:9 When they came to the place God had told him about, Abraham built the altar there 6 and arranged the wood on it. Next he tied up 7 his son Isaac and placed him on the altar on top of the wood. 22:10 Then Abraham reached out his hand, took the knife, and prepared to slaughter 8 his son. 22:11 But the Lord’s angel 9 called to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Here I am!” he answered. 22:12 “Do not harm the boy!” 10 the angel said. 11 “Do not do anything to him, for now I know 12 that you fear 13 God because you did not withhold your son, your only son, from me.”
