Genesis 22:10-18
New King James Version
10 And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.
11 But the (A)Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!”
So he said, “Here I am.”
12 And He said, (B)“Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for (C)now I know that you fear God, since you have not (D)withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”
13 Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son. 14 And Abraham called the name of the place, [a]The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.”
15 Then the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, 16 and said: (E)“By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son— 17 blessing I will (F)bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants (G)as the stars of the heaven (H)and as the sand which is on the seashore; and (I)your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. 18 (J)In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, (K)because you have obeyed My voice.”

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.”

King James Version
10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
11 And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and 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 Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.
15 And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
