Kej 22:1 Setelah semuanya itu Allah mencoba Abraham. Ia berfirman kepadanya: "Abraham," lalu sahutnya: "Ya, Tuhan."
Kej 22:2 Firman-Nya: "Ambillah anakmu yang tunggal itu, yang engkau kasihi, yakni Ishak, pergilah ke tanah Moria dan persembahkanlah dia di sana sebagai korban bakaran pada salah satu gunung yang akan Kukatakan kepadamu."
Kej 22:3 Keesokan harinya pagi-pagi bangunlah Abraham, ia memasang pelana keledainya dan memanggil dua orang bujangnya beserta Ishak, anaknya; ia membelah juga kayu untuk korban bakaran itu, lalu berangkatlah ia dan pergi ke tempat yang dikatakan Allah kepadanya.
Kej 22:4 Ketika pada hari ketiga Abraham melayangkan pandangnya, kelihatanlah kepadanya tempat itu dari jauh.
Kej 22:5 Kata Abraham kepada kedua bujangnya itu: "Tinggallah kamu di sini dengan keledai ini; aku beserta anak ini akan pergi ke sana; kami akan sembahyang, sesudah itu kami kembali kepadamu."
Kej 22:6 Lalu Abraham mengambil kayu untuk korban bakaran itu dan memikulkannya ke atas bahu Ishak, anaknya, sedang di tangannya dibawanya api dan pisau. Demikianlah keduanya berjalan bersama-sama.
Kej 22:7 Lalu berkatalah Ishak kepada Abraham, ayahnya: "Bapa." Sahut Abraham: "Ya, anakku." Bertanyalah ia: "Di sini sudah ada api dan kayu, tetapi di manakah anak domba untuk korban bakaran itu?"
Kej 22:8 Sahut Abraham: "Allah yang akan menyediakan anak domba untuk korban bakaran bagi-Nya, anakku." Demikianlah keduanya berjalan bersama-sama.
Kej 22:9 Sampailah mereka ke tempat yang dikatakan Allah kepadanya. Lalu Abraham mendirikan mezbah di situ, disusunnyalah kayu, diikatnya Ishak, anaknya itu, dan diletakkannya di mezbah itu, di atas kayu api.
Kej 22:10 Sesudah itu Abraham mengulurkan tangannya, lalu mengambil pisau untuk menyembelih anaknya.
Kej 22:11 Tetapi berserulah Malaikat TUHAN dari langit kepadanya: "Abraham, Abraham." Sahutnya: "Ya, Tuhan."
Kej 22:12 Lalu Ia berfirman: "Jangan bunuh anak itu dan jangan kauapa-apakan dia, sebab telah Kuketahui sekarang, bahwa engkau takut akan Allah, dan engkau tidak segan-segan untuk menyerahkan anakmu yang tunggal kepada-Ku."
Kej 22:13 Lalu Abraham menoleh dan melihat seekor domba jantan di belakangnya, yang tanduknya tersangkut dalam belukar. Abraham mengambil domba itu, lalu mengorbankannya sebagai korban bakaran pengganti anaknya.
Kej 22:14 Dan Abraham menamai tempat itu: "TUHAN menyediakan"; sebab itu sampai sekarang dikatakan orang: "Di atas gunung TUHAN, akan disediakan."
Kej 22:15 Untuk kedua kalinya berserulah Malaikat TUHAN dari langit kepada Abraham,
Kej 22:16 kata-Nya: "Aku bersumpah demi diri-Ku sendiri--demikianlah firman TUHAN--:Karena engkau telah berbuat demikian, dan engkau tidak segan-segan untuk menyerahkan anakmu yang tunggal kepada-Ku,
Kej 22:17 maka Aku akan memberkati engkau berlimpah-limpah dan membuat keturunanmu sangat banyak seperti bintang di langit dan seperti pasir di tepi laut, dan keturunanmu itu akan menduduki kota-kota musuhnya.
Kej 22:18 Oleh keturunanmulah semua bangsa di bumi akan mendapat berkat, karena engkau mendengarkan firman-Ku."
Kej 22:19 Kemudian kembalilah Abraham kepada kedua bujangnya, dan mereka bersama-sama berangkat ke Bersyeba; dan Abraham tinggal di Bersyeba.
Keturunan Nahor
Kej 22:20 Sesudah itu Abraham mendapat kabar: "Juga Milka telah melahirkan anak-anak lelaki bagi Nahor, saudaramu:
Kej 22:21 Us, anak sulung, dan Bus, adiknya, dan Kemuel, ayah Aram,
Kej 22:22 juga Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Yidlaf dan Betuel."
Kej 22:23 Dan Betuel memperanakkan Ribka. Kedelapan orang inilah dilahirkan Milka bagi Nahor, saudara Abraham itu.
Kej 22:24 Dan gundik Nahor, yang namanya Reuma, melahirkan anak juga, yakni Tebah, Gaham, Tahash dan Maakha.
Gen 22:1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
Gen 22:2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
Gen 22:3 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 wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
Gen 22:4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
Gen 22:5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
Gen 22:6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.
Gen 22:7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
Gen 22:8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
Gen 22:9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
Gen 22:10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
Gen 22:11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
Gen 22:12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
Gen 22:13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
Gen 22:14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
Gen 22:15 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
Gen 22:16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
Gen 22:17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
Gen 22:18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
Gen 22:19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
Gen 22:20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;
Gen 22:21 Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
Gen 22:22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
Gen 22:23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
Gen 22:24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
