¹⁰ And Abraham reached out with his hand and took the knife to ^[a]slaughter his son. ¹¹ But ^(A)the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” ¹² He said, “Do not reach out your hand against the boy, and do not do anything to him; for now ^(B)I know that you ^[b]fear God, since you have not withheld ^(C)your son, your only son, from Me.” ¹³ Then Abraham raised his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by its horns; and Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering in the place of his son. ¹⁴ And Abraham named that place ^[c]The Lord Will Provide, as it is said to this day, “On the mountain of the Lord ^(D)it will ^[d]be provided.”

¹⁵ Then the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven, ¹⁶ and said, “^(E)By Myself I have sworn, declares the Lord, because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son, ¹⁷ indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly ^(F)multiply your ^[e]seed as the stars of the heavens and as ^(G)the sand, which is on the seashore; and ^(H)your ^[f]seed shall possess the gate of ^[g]their enemies. ¹⁸ And ^(I)in your ^[h]seed all the nations of the earth shall ^[i]be blessed, because you have ^(J)obeyed My voice.”
