Genesis 22:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 Then spake Isaac unto Abraham his father, and said, My father. And he answered, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?
8 Then Abraham answered, My son, God will [a]provide him a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both together.
9 And when they came to the place which God had showed him, Abraham built an altar there, and couched the wood, and [b]bound Isaac his son, (A)and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
