Genesis 22:4-8 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

4. Then, on the third day, lifting up his eyes, he saw the place at a distance.

5. And he said to his servants: "Wait here with the donkey. I and the boy will hurry further ahead to that place. After we have worshipped, will return to you."

6. He also took the wood for the holocaust, and he imposed it upon his son Isaac. And he himself carried in his hands fire and a sword. And as the two continued on together,

7. Isaac said to his father, "My father." And he answered, "What do you want, son?" "Behold," he said, "fire and wood. Where is the victim for the holocaust?"

8. But Abraham said, "God himself will provide the victim for the holocaust, my son." Thus they continued on together.
