Seventh Reading
After these events, God tested Abraham.
'Abraham!' He said.
'Yes.'

'Take your son, the only one you
love - Isaac - and go away to
the Moriah area.
Bring him as an all-burned
offering on
one of the mountains that I will
designate to you.'

Abraham got up early in the
morning and saddled his donkey.
He took his two men with him,
along with his son Isaac. He cut
wood for the offering, and set
out, heading for the place that
God had designated.

On the third day, Abraham looked
up, and saw the place from afar.

Abraham said to his young men,
'Stay here with the donkey. The
boy and I will go to that place.
We will worship and
then return to you.'

22:6
|
Abraham took the offering wood
and placed it on [the shoulders
of] his son Isaac. He himself
took the fire and
the slaughter knife, and the two
of them went together.

22:7
|
Isaac spoke up to Abraham.
'Father.'
'Yes, my son.'
'Here is the fire and the wood.
But where is the lamb for the
offering?'
Vayomer Yitschak el-Avraham aviv

'God will see to a lamb for an
offering, my son,' replied
Abraham.
The two of them continued
together.

22:9
|
When they finally came to the
place designated by God, Abraham
built the altar there, and
arranged the wood. He then bound
his son Isaac, and placed him on
the altar on top of the wood.
Vayavo'u el-hamakom asher

Abraham reached out and took the
slaughter knife to slit his
son's throat.

Abraham then looked
up and saw a ram caught by its
horns in a thicket. He went and
got the ram, sacrificing it as
an all-burned offering in his
son's place.

Abraham named the place 'God
will See' (Adonoy Yir'eh).
Today, it is therefore said, 'On
God's Mountain, He will be
seen.'
