10. Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.
11. But the angel of Adonai called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” He said, “Hineni!”
12. Then He said, “Do not reach out your hand against the young man—do nothing to him at all. For now I know that you are one who fears God—you did not withhold your son, your only son, from Me.”
13. Then Abraham lifted up his eyes and behold, there was a ram, just caught in the thick bushes by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son.
14. Abraham named that place, Adonai Yireh,—as it is said today, “On the mountain, Adonai will provide.”
15. The angel of Adonai called to Abraham a second time from heaven
16. and said, “By myself I swear—it is a declaration of Adonai—because you have done this thing, and you did not withhold your son, your only son,
17. I will richly bless you and bountifully multiply your seed like the stars of heaven, and like the sand that is on the seashore, and your seed will possess the gate of his enemies.
18. In your seed all the nations of the earth will be blessed—because you obeyed My voice.”
19. Then Abraham returned to his young men and they got up and went together to Beer-sheba. Then Abraham dwelled in Beer- sheba.
