And it came to pass after these things, that God did ^atempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.

 2 And he said, ^aTake now thy son, thine ^bonly son Isaac, whom thou ^clovest, and get thee into the land of ^dMoriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

 3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the ^awood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
