1Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, ‘Abraham!’ ‘Here I am,’ he replied.2Then God said, ‘Take your son, your only son, whom you love – Isaac – and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain that I will show you.’3Early 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.4On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.5He said to his servants, ‘Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you.’6Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together,7Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, ‘Father?’ ‘Yes, my son?’ Abraham replied. ‘The fire and wood are here,’ Isaac said, ‘but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?’8Abraham answered, ‘God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.’ And the two of them went on together.9When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.10Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.11But 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.’13Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram[1] caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son.14So 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.’15The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time16and said, ‘I swear by myself, declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son,17I 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 will take possession of the cities of their enemies,18and through your offspring[2] all nations on earth will be blessed,[3] because you have obeyed me.’19Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they set off together for Beersheba. And Abraham stayed in Beersheba.
Nahor’s sons
20Some time later Abraham was told, ‘Milkah is also a mother; she has borne sons to your brother Nahor:21Uz the firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel (the father of Aram),22Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph and Bethuel.’23Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. Milkah bore these eight sons to Abraham’s brother Nahor.24His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also had sons: Tebah, Gaham, Tahash and Maakah.
Genesis 22
King James Version
1And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am .2And 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.3And 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.4Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.5And 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.6And 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.7And 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?8And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.9And 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.10And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.11And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.12And 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.13And 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.14And 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.15And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,16And 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 :17That 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;18And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.19So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.20And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;21Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,22And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.23And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham' brother.24And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
1Und es geschah nach diesen Dingen, da stellte Gott den Abraham auf die Probe. Und er sprach zu ihm: Abraham! Und er sagte: Hier bin ich! (Ge 15:1; Ge 37:13; Ge 46:2; Ex 3:4; 1Sa 3:4; Isa 6:8; Ac 9:10)2Und er sprach: Nimm deinen Sohn, deinen einzigen, den du lieb hast, den Isaak, und ziehe hin in das Land Morija, und opfere ihn dort als Brandopfer auf einem der Berge, den ich dir nennen werde! (Ge 21:3; 2Ki 3:27; 2Ch 3:1; Mt 3:17)3Da machte sich Abraham früh am Morgen auf, sattelte seinen Esel und nahm seine beiden Knechte mit sich und seinen Sohn Isaak. Er spaltete Holz zum Brandopfer und machte sich auf und ging an den Ort, den Gott ihm genannt hatte. (Ge 21:14)4Am dritten Tag erhob Abraham seine Augen und sah den Ort von fern.5Da sagte Abraham zu seinen Knechten: Bleibt ihr mit dem Esel hier! Ich aber und der Junge wollen dorthin gehen und anbeten und zu euch zurückkehren.6Und Abraham nahm das Holz zum Brandopfer und legte es auf seinen Sohn Isaak, und in seine Hand nahm er das Feuer und das Messer. Und sie gingen beide miteinander. (2Ki 2:6)7Da sprach Isaak zu seinem Vater Abraham und sagte: Mein Vater! Und er sprach: Hier bin ich, mein Sohn. Und er sagte: Siehe, das Feuer und das Holz! Wo aber ist das Schaf zum Brandopfer?8Da sagte Abraham: Gott wird sich das Schaf zum Brandopfer ausersehen, mein Sohn. Und sie gingen beide miteinander. (2Ki 2:6)9Und sie kamen an den Ort, den Gott ihm genannt hatte. Und Abraham baute dort den Altar und schichtete das Holz auf. Dann band er seinen Sohn Isaak und legte ihn auf den Altar oben auf das Holz.10Und Abraham streckte seine Hand aus und nahm das Messer, um seinen Sohn zu schlachten. (Heb 11:17; Jas 2:21)11Da rief ihm der Engel des HERRN vom Himmel her zu und sprach: Abraham, Abraham! Und er sagte: Hier bin ich! (Ge 37:13; Ge 46:2; Ex 3:4; Jud 2:1; 1Sa 3:4; Isa 6:8; Ac 9:10)12Und er sprach: Strecke deine Hand nicht aus nach dem Jungen, und tu ihm nichts! Denn nun habe ich erkannt, dass du Gott fürchtest, da du deinen Sohn, deinen einzigen, mir nicht vorenthalten hast.13Und Abraham erhob seine Augen und sah; und siehe, da war ein Widder hinten im Gestrüpp an seinen Hörnern festgehalten. Da ging Abraham hin, nahm den Widder und opferte ihn anstelle seines Sohnes als Brandopfer.14Und Abraham gab diesem Ort den Namen »Der HERR wird ersehen[1]«, von dem man heute ⟨noch⟩ sagt: Auf dem Berg des HERRN wird ersehen[2].15Und der Engel des HERRN rief Abraham ein zweites Mal vom Himmel her zu (Ge 31:11; Ge 48:16)16und sprach: Ich schwöre bei mir selbst, spricht der HERR[3], deshalb, weil du das getan und deinen Sohn, deinen einzigen, ⟨mir⟩ nicht vorenthalten hast, (Isa 45:23; Jer 22:5; Mic 7:20; Lu 1:73)17darum werde ich dich reichlich segnen und deine Nachkommen überaus zahlreich machen wie die Sterne des Himmels und wie der Sand, der am Ufer des Meeres ist; und deine Nachkommenschaft wird das Tor ihrer Feinde in Besitz nehmen. (Ge 13:16; Ge 15:5; Ge 24:60; Ge 26:4; Ge 27:29; Ge 32:13; Ex 32:13; De 1:10; De 13:18; 2Sa 17:11; 1Ki 4:20; 1Ch 27:23; Ne 9:23; Isa 48:19; Ho 2:1; Lu 1:73; Heb 6:13; Heb 11:12)18Und in deinem Samen[4] werden sich segnen alle Nationen der Erde dafür, dass du meiner Stimme gehorcht hast. (Ge 12:2; Ge 26:4; Ge 26:5; Jer 4:2; Ac 3:25; Ro 4:13; Ga 3:16)19Dann kehrte Abraham zu seinen Knechten zurück, und sie machten sich auf und zogen miteinander nach Beerscheba; und Abraham ließ sich in Beerscheba nieder.
Nachkommen Nahors
20Und es geschah nach diesen Dingen, da wurde dem Abraham berichtet: Siehe, Milka, auch sie hat deinem Bruder Nahor Söhne geboren: (Ge 11:27; Ge 15:1)21Uz, seinen Erstgeborenen, und dessen Bruder Bus und Kemuël, den Vater Arams, (Jer 25:20)22und Kesed und Haso und Pildasch und Jidlaf und Betuël.23Betuël aber zeugte Rebekka. Diese acht gebar Milka dem Nahor, Abrahams Bruder. (Ge 24:15; Ge 25:20)24Und seine Nebenfrau, namens Rehuma, auch sie gebar, ⟨nämlich⟩ Tebach und Gaham und Tahasch und Maacha.
