BERESHITH (GENESIS) 22

Gen 22:1 And it came to be after these events that Elohim tried Aḇraham,
and said to him, “Aḇraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”
Gen 22:2 And He said, “Take your son, now, your only son Yitsḥaq, whom
you love, and go to the land of Moriyah, and offer him there as a burnt
offering on one of the mountains which I command you.”
Gen 22:3 And Aḇraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey,
and took two of his young men with him, and Yitsḥaq his son. And he split the
wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place which Elohim
had commanded him.
Gen 22:4 And on the third day Aḇraham lifted his eyes and saw the place
from a distance.
Gen 22:5 So Aḇraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey
while the boy and I go over there and worship, and come back to you.”
Gen 22:6 And Aḇraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on
Yitsḥaq his son. And he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and the two of
them went together.
Gen 22:7 And Yitsḥaq spoke to Aḇraham his father and said, “My father!”
And he said, “Here I am, my son.” And he said, “See, the fire and the wood!
But where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”
Gen 22:8 And Aḇraham said, “My son, Elohim does provide for Himself the
lamb for a burnt offering.” And the two of them went together.
Gen 22:9 And they came to the place which Elohim had commanded him,
and Aḇraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order. And he bound
Yitsḥaq his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood.
Gen 22:10 And Aḇraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his
son,
Gen 22:11 but the Messenger of יהוה called to him from the heavens and
said, “Aḇraham, Aḇraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”
Gen 22:12 And He said, “Do not lay your hand on the boy, nor touch him.
For now I know that you fear Elohim, seeing you have not withheld your son,
your only son, from Me.”
Gen 22:13 And Aḇraham lifted his eyes and looked and saw behind him a
ram caught in a bush by its horns, and Aḇraham went and took the ram and
offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
Gen 22:14 And Aḇraham called the name of the place, ‘ יהוה Yireh,’ as it is
said to this day, “On the mountain יהוה provides.”
Gen 22:15 And the Messenger of יהוה called to Aḇraham a second time from
the heavens,
Gen 22:16 and said, “By Myself I have sworn, declares יהוה, because you
have done this, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
Gen 22:17 that I shall certainly bless you, and I shall certainly increase your
seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore, and
let your seed possess the gate of their enemies.
Gen 22:18 “And in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed,
because you have obeyed My voice.”
Gen 22:19 Then Aḇraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and
went together to Be’ĕrsheḇa. And Aḇraham dwelt at Be’ĕrsheḇa.
Gen 22:20 And it came to be after these events that it was reported to
Aḇraham, saying, “See, Milkah too has borne children to your brother Naḥor:
Gen 22:21 “Uts his first-born, and Buz his brother, and Qemu’ĕl the father of
Aram,
Gen 22:22 and Keseḏ, and Ḥazo, and Pildash, and Yiḏlaph, and Bethu’ĕl.”
Gen 22:23 And Bethu’ĕl brought forth Riḇqah. These eight Milkah bore to
Naḥor, Aḇraham’s brother.
Gen 22:24 And his concubine, whose name was Re’uwmah, also bore
Teḇaḥ, and Gaḥam, and Taḥash, and Ma‛aḵah.
