Read Genesis 22 in full →The Offering of Isaac
22Now it happened after these things, that aGod tested Abraham and said to him, “bAbraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” 2Then He said, “Take now ayour son, your only one, whom you love, Isaac, and bgo forth to the land of cMoriah, and offer him there as a dburnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you.” 3So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey and took two of his young men with him and Isaac his son; and he split wood for the burnt offering and arose and went to the place of which God had told him. 4On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from a distance. 5And Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there; and we will worship, and we will return to you.” 6Then Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and aput it on Isaac his son, and he took in his hand the fire and the knife. So the two of them walked on together.
7Then Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” And he said, “Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the alamb for the burnt offering?” 8And Abraham said, “God will 1provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” So the two of them walked on together.
