1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. 2 And 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.

3 And 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. 4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. 5 And 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. 6 And 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. 7 And 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? 8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. 9 And 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. 10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.

11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. 12 And 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. 13 And 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. 14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.

15 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, 16 And 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: 17 That 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; 18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. 19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.

20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor; 21 Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram, 22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel. 23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham’s brother. 24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.

1 这些事以后， 神试验亚伯拉罕， 对他说： "亚伯拉罕啊！ "他回答： "我在这里。"

2 神说： "带着你的儿子， 就是你所爱的独生子以撒， 到摩利亚地去， 在我所要指示你的一座山上， 把他献为燔祭。"

3 亚伯拉罕清早起来， 预备好了驴， 带着两个童仆和自己的儿子以撒， 也劈好了献燔祭用的柴， 就起程到 神指示他的地方去。

4 第三日， 亚伯拉罕举目观望， 远远地看见了那地方。

5 亚伯拉罕对他的童仆说： "你们和驴留在这里， 我与孩子要到那边去敬拜， 然后回到你们这里来。"

6 亚伯拉罕把献燔祭的柴， 放在他儿子以撒的身上， 自己手里拿着火与刀。他们二人一起向前走的时候，

7 以撒问他父亲亚伯拉罕说： "爸爸！ "亚伯拉罕回答： "我儿！ 有什么事？"以撒说： "你看， 火与柴都有了， 可是献燔祭用的羊羔在哪里呢？"

8 亚伯拉罕回答： "我儿， 神自己必亲自预备献燔祭用的羊羔。"于是二人继续一起前行。

9 他们到了 神指示的地方， 亚伯拉罕就在那里筑了一座祭坛， 摆好了柴， 捆绑了自己的儿子以撒， 就把他放在祭坛的柴上。

10 亚伯拉罕伸手拿刀， 要宰杀自己的儿子的时候，

11 耶和华的使者从天上呼叫亚伯拉罕， 说： "亚伯拉罕， 亚伯拉罕！ "亚伯拉罕回答： "我在这里。"

12 天使说： "不可在这孩子身上下手， 一点也不可害他； 现在我知道你是敬畏 神的了， 因为你没有留下你的独生子不给我。"

13 亚伯拉罕举目观望， 看见一只公绵羊， 两角扣在稠密的小树丛中； 亚伯拉罕就去取了那只公绵羊， 把它献为燔祭， 代替自己的儿子。

14 亚伯拉罕给那地方起名叫"耶和华以勒"。直到今日， 人还说： "在耶和华的山上必有预备。"

15 耶和华的使者第二次从天上呼叫亚伯拉罕，

16 说： "耶和华说： ‘我指着自己起誓， 你既然作了这事， 没有留下你的独生子，

17 我必定赐福给你， 必使你的后裔繁多， 像天上的星， 海边的沙； 你的后裔必占领仇敌的城门。

18 地上万国都要因你的后裔得福， 因为你听从了我的话。’"

19 亚伯拉罕回到他的童仆那里； 他们就起程， 一起到别是巴去了； 亚伯拉罕就住在别是巴。

20 这些事以后， 有人告诉亚伯拉罕说： "密迦也给你的兄弟拿鹤生了几个儿子；

21 长子是乌斯， 他的弟弟是布斯， 和亚兰的父亲基母利；

22 还有基薛、哈琐、必达、益拉和彼土利。

23 （彼土利生了利百加。）"这八个人， 都是密迦给亚伯拉罕的兄弟拿鹤生的儿子。

24 拿鹤的妾名叫流玛。她也生了提八、迦含、他辖和玛迦。
