Chap. XXII.
note
The faith and obedience of Abraham is proued in his redines to sacrifice his
sonne Isaac. 11. He is stayed from the act by an Angel. 16. Former promises
are renewed to him. 20. And his brother Nachor hath also much issue.
1 VVhich things being done, God09Q0061 tempted Abraham,
and said to him; Abraham, Abraham. note But
he answered: Here I am.
2 He said to him: note Take thy only
begotten sonne, whom thou louest, Isaac, and goe into
the Land of vision: and there thou shalt offer him for an holocaust
vpon one of the mountaines which I wil shew thee.
3 Therfore Abraham rising vp in the night, sadled his asse:
taking with him two young men, and Isaac his sonne: and
when he had cut wood for the holocaust, he went his way to
the place which God had commanded him.
4 And the third
day, lifting vp his eyes, he sawe the place afarre of:
5 and
he said to his young men: Tarie you here with the asse: I
and the boy going with spede as farre as yonder, after we
haue adored, wil returne to you.
6 He tooke also the wood
of the holocaust, and laid it vpon Isaac his sonne: and him
selfe caried in his hands fire and a sword. And as they went
on together,
7 Isaac said to his father: My father. And he
answered: What wilt thou sonne? Behold, saith he, fire
and wood: where is the victime of the holocaust?
8 And
Abraham said: God wil prouide vnto him selfe the victime
of the holocaust, my sonne. They went on therfore together:
9 and they came to the place which God had shewed
him, wherin he builed an altar, and laid the wood in order
vpon it: and when he had bound Isaac his sonne, he laid
him on the altar vpon the pile of wood.
10 And he stretched
forth his hand, and caught the sword, for to sacrifice his
sonne.
11 And behold an angel of our Lord from heauen
cried, saying: Abraham, Abraham. Who answered: Here I
am.
12 And he said to him: Stretch not forth thy hand vpon
the boy, neither doe thou any thing to him: now haue I
knowen that thou fearest God, and hast not spared thine
onlie begotten sonne for my sake.
13 Abraham lifted vp his
eyes, and saw behind his backe a ramme amongst the briers

sticking fast by the hornes, which he tooke and offered an
holocaust in stede of his sonne.
14 And he called the name of
that place, note Our Lord seeth. Wherupon euen to this day it is
said, In the mountaine our Lord wil see.
15 And the angel of
our Lord called Abraham the second time from heauen,
saying:
16 By my owne selfe haue I sworne, saith the Lord:
because thou hast done this thing, and hast not spared thine
onlie begotten sonne for my sake:
17 I wil blesse thee, and I
wil multiplie thy sede as the starres of heauen, and as the
sand that is by the sea shore: thy sede shal possesse the gates
of his enemies,
18 and in thy sede shal be blessed al
the nations of the earth, because thou hast obeyed my voice.
19 Abraham returned to his young men, and they went to
Bersabee together, and he dwelt there.
20 These things so
being done, it was note told Abraham that Melca also had borne
children to Nachor his brother,
21 Hus the firstbegotten, &
Buz his brother, and Camuel the father of the Sirians,
22 and
Cased, and Azau. Pheldas also & Iedlaph,
23 and Bathuel, of
whom was borne Rebecca: these eight did Melcha beare,
to Nachor Abrahams brother.
24 And his concubine, named
Roma, bare Tabee, and Gaham, and Tahas, and Maacha.
