Genesis 22:1-5 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. And it happened that after these things, God tested Abraham. And he said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”

2. And he said, “Take your son, your only child, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains where I will tell you.”

3. And Abraham rose up early in the morning and saddled his donkey. And he took two of his servants with him, and Isaac his son. And he chopped wood for a burnt offering. And he got up and went to the place which God had told him.

4. On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and he saw the place at a distance.

5. And Abraham said to his servants, “You stay here with the donkey, and I and the boy will go up there. We will worship, then we will return to you.”
