| Genesis 22:1-18 |
| RSV |
| 22:1 |
After these things God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here am I." |
| 22:2 |
He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains of which I shall tell you." |
| 22:3 |
So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac; and he cut the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him. |
| 22:4 |
On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place afar off. |
| 22:5 |
Then Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the ass; I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you." |
| 22:6 |
And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took in his hand the fire and the knife. So they went both of them together. |
| 22:7 |
And Isaac said to his father Abraham, "My father!" And he said, "Here am I, my son." He said, "Behold, the fire and the wood; but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?" |
| 22:8 |
Abraham said, "God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they went both of them together. |
| 22:9 |
When they came to the place of which God had told him, 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. |
| 22:10 |
Then Abraham put forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. |
| 22:11 |
But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven, and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" And he said, "Here am I." |
| 22:12 |
He said, "Do not lay your hand on the lad or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me." |
| 22:13 |
And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son. |
| 22:14 |
So Abraham called the name of that place The LORD will provide; as it is said to this day, "On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided." |
| 22:15 |
And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time from heaven, |
| 22:16 |
and said, "By myself I have sworn, says the LORD, because you have done this, and have not withheld your son, your only son, |
| 22:17 |
I will indeed bless you, and I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore. And your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies, |
| 22:18 |
and by your descendants shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves, because you have obeyed my voice." |

These tools are brought to you free of charge by
The Cross Reference,
a Catholic blog run by Jeff Pinyan, covering a wide array of topics (from liturgy to apologetics,
from study of Holy Scripture to current events). None of the
content from these tools is
property of
The Cross Reference, and all of it is found elsewhere on the Internet already.
These tools exist simply to make it easier to search the various sources represented here, as well
as to further the glorification of God and the sanctification of His Church. If they contribute
to any of these goals, I am pleased (and I hope He is too).
I am aware of certain gaps (
lacunas) in the Douay-Rheims, Latin Vulgate, and New Vulgate
texts; if you find one, feel free to email me about it so I can take care of it. I will also get
around to loading the footnotes for the Douay-Rheims text.
If you found these tools useful, please let your friends, family, and local church know about them
(and let me know you let them know!). If you encountered problems, have suggestions for
improvements, or have questions, comments, or compliments, feel free to email the author of these
