Genesis 22:1-12

And it came to pass that GOD called Abraham, to test him, and Abraham said, "Here I am." And GOD said, "Take your son now, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of Moriah. 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, saddled his donkey, took two of his young men with him, along with Isaac, his son, and the wood he had split for the burnt offering, and went to the place which GOD had told him. On the third day of the journey, Abraham looked up and saw the place from afar. To his young men, Abraham said, "Stay here with the donkey while my boy and I go on. We will worship and return to you." Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and gave it to Isaac to carry. Then taking in his own hands the fire and the knife, they went on together. Isaac spoke to his father, Abraham, and said, "Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?" And Abraham said, "My son, GOD will provide for himself a lamb for the burnt offering." And they continued on together. When they came to the place GOD had told Abraham about, Abraham built an altar. He arranged the wood on the altar, bound up Isaac, his son, and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. Just then, the ANGEL of the LORD called to him from heaven, and said, "Abraham! Abraham! Do not lay a hand on the boy. Do not do anything to him, for now I know that you fear GOD, and have not withheld anything from me - not even your son, your only son."
