He said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am!” Abraham replied. <span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/22-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>God said, “Take your son – your only son, whom you love, Isaac – and go to the land of Moriah!

He took two of his young servants with him, along with his son Isaac. When he had cut the wood for the burnt offering, he started out for the place God had spoken to him about.</p> <p class="bodytext"><span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/22-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>On the third day Abraham caught sight of the place in the distance. <span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/22-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>So he said to his servants, “You two stay here with the donkey while the boy and I go up there. We will worship and then return to you.”</p> <p class="bodytext"><span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/22-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and put it on his son Isaac. Then he took the fire and the knife in his hand, and the two of them walked on together. <span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/22-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father?” “What is it, my son?” he replied. “Here is the fire and the wood,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?” <span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/22-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>“God will provide for himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son,” Abraham replied. The two of them continued on together.</p> <p class="bodytext"><span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/22-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>When they came to the place God had told him about, Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood on it.
