The Beginning (Genesis) 22

1After these things, God ('Elohiym) tested Father of a Multitude (Abraham), and said to him, “Father of a Multitude (Abraham)”: and he said, “Here I am.”

 2God ('Elohiym) said, “Take now your son, your only son Laughter (Isaac), whom you love, and go to the land of Seen By I AM-Yahh (Moriah); and offer him there for a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of.

 3Father of a Multitude (Abraham) rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Laughter (Isaac) his son, and split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God ('Elohiym) had told him.

 4Then on the third day Father of a Multitude (Abraham) lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.

 5Father of a Multitude (Abraham) said unto his young men, “Stay here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.”

 6Then Father of a Multitude (Abraham) took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it on Laughter (Isaac) his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.

 7Laughter (Isaac) inquired of Father of a Multitude (Abraham) his father, “My father”: he said, “Here am I, my son.” And he said, “We have the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”

 8Father of a Multitude (Abraham) said, “My son, God ('Elohiym) will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.”

 9They came to the place which God ('Elohiym) had told him of; and Father of a Multitude (Abraham) built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Laughter (Isaac) his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.

 10Then Father of a Multitude (Abraham) stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.

 11But, the angel of The LORD - I AM (Yehovah) called to him out of heaven, and said, “Father of a Multitude (Abraham), Father of a Multitude (Abraham)”: and he said, “Here am I.”

 12He said, Do not lay your hand on the lad, neither do any thing to him: for now I know that you fear God ('Elohiym), seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son from me.”

 13Then Father of a Multitude (Abraham) lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns. And Father of a Multitude (Abraham) went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.

 14 So Father of a Multitude (Abraham) called the name of that place I AM Sees (Jehovahjireh -Yĕhovah yireh): as it is called to this day, “In the mount of The LORD - I AM (Yehovah) it shall be seen.”

 15And the angel of The LORD - I AM (Yehovah) called to Father of a Multitude (Abraham) out of heaven the second time,

 16 He said, “ I have sworn By myself, says The LORD - I AM (Yehovah), because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son:

 17That in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and your seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;

 18In Your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because you have obeyed my voice.

 19So Father of a Multitude (Abraham) returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Well of the Sevenfold Oath (Beersheba); and Father of a Multitude (Abraham) dwelt at Well of the Sevenfold Oath (Beersheba).

 20And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Father of a Multitude (Abraham), saying, Behold, Queen (Milcah) has born children to your brother Snorting (Nahor);

 21Wooded (Huz) his firstborn, and Contempt (Buz) his brother, and Raised of God (Kemuel) the father of Exalted (Aram),

 22And Increase (Chesed), and Vision (Hazo), and Flame of Fire (Pildash), and Weeping (Jidlaph), and House of God (Bethuel).

 23And House of God (Bethuel) begat Ensnarer (Rebekah): these eight Queen (Milcah) did bear to Snorting (Nahor), Father of a Multitude (Abraham)'s brother.

 24And his concubine, whose name was Elevated (Reumah) bore Slaughter (Tebah), and Burning (Gaham), and Dolphin (Thahash – The outer covering of the Tabernacle was made of Thahash skins), and Oppression (Maachah).
