- Now it came about after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
- He said, "Take now your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you."
- So 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.
- On the third day Abraham raised his eyes and saw the place from a distance.
- Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there; and we will worship and return to you."

- Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, "Abraham!" "Here I am," he replied.
- Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about."
- Early the next morning Abraham got up and saddled his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about.
- On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.
- He said to his servants, "Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you."
