Genesis 22

[주바라기 분이]

22 Some time later God tested Abraham, He said to him, "Araham!' "Gere I am," he replied.

2 Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, whom you love- Issac-and

    go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a

     mountain I will show you."

3 Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took

   with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough

   wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him

  about.

4 On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.

5 He said to his servants, "Stay ghere with the donkey while I and the boy

   go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you."

6 Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed the fire and

   the  knife. As the two of them went on together, Ksac spoke up and said

    to his

7 Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, "Father?"

8 Abraham answered, "God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt

    offering my son." And the two of them went on together.

9 When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an

   altar there and arranged the wood on it He bund his son Isaac and laid

   himon the altar, on top of the wood.

10 Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.

11 But the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, "Abraham!

     Abraham!"  Here I am, " he replied.

12 "Do not lay a hand on the boy, " he said. "Do not do anything to him.

     Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me

     your son, your only son."

13 Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its

     homs. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt

     offering instead of his son.

14 So Abraham called that place The LORD will provide. And to this day

      it is said.  on the mountain of the LORD it will be provided."

15 The angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second tim

16 And said,"I swear by myself, declares the LORD, that because you have

     done this and have not withheld your son, your only son,

17 I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the

      stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants wil

       I take possession of the cities of their enemies,

18 And through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed because

     you have lveyed me."

19 Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they wet off together for

      Beersheba. And Abraham stayed in Beersheba.

20 Some time later Abraham was told, "Milkah is also a mother; whe has

      borne sons to your brother Nahor:

21 Uz the firstborn, Buz his brother, Kernel (the father of Aram),

22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph and Bethuel."

23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah, Milkah bore these eight sons to

     Abraham's brother Nahor.

24 His concubine, whose name sas Reumah, also had sons: Tebah, Gaham,

     Tahash and Maakah.    amen.
