4. On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.
5. And Abraham said to his servants, Settle down and stay here with the donkey, and I and the young man will go yonder and worship and come again to you.
6. Then Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and laid it on [the shoulders of] Isaac his son, and he took the fire (the firepot) in his own hand, and a knife; and the two of them went on together.
7. And Isaac said to Abraham, My father! And he said, Here I am, my son. [Isaac] said, See, here are the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt sacrifice?
8. Abraham said, My son, God Himself will provide a lamb for the burnt offering. So the two went on together.
9. When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built an altar there; then he laid the wood in order and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar on the wood. [Matt. 10:37.]
10. And Abraham stretched forth his hand and took hold of the knife to slay his son. [Heb. 11:17-19.]
11. But the Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, Abraham, Abraham! He answered, Here I am.
