Genesis 22:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 Then he said, Lay not thine hand upon the child, neither do anything unto him: for now I [a]know that thou fearest God, seeing for my sake [b]thou hast not spared thine [c]only son.
13 And Abraham lifting up his eyes, looked and behold, there was a ram behind him caught by the horns in a bush: then Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place [d]Jehovah Jireh: as it is said this day, In the mount will the Lord [e]be seen.
