1. AFTER THESE events, God tested and proved Abraham and said to him, Abraham! And he said, Here I am.
2. [God] said, Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah; and offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains of which I will tell you.
3. So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him and his son Isaac; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and then began the trip to the place of which God had told him.
4. On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.
