Abraham named that place “The LORD Will Provide.” And even now people say, “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.”

The LORD said, “Go get Isaac, your only son, the one you dearly love! Take him to the land of Moriah, and I will show you a mountain where you must sacrifice him to me on the fires of an altar.”

“Don't hurt the boy or harm him in any way!” the angel said. “Now I know that you truly obey God, because you were willing to offer him your only son.”

Isaac said, “Father, we have the coals and the wood, but where is the lamb for the sacrifice?” “My son,” Abraham answered, “God will provide the lamb.” The two of them walked on, and

“I will bless you and give you such a large family, that someday your descendants will be more numerous than the stars in the sky or the grains of sand along the seashore. They will defeat their enemies and take over the cities where their enemies live. You have obeyed me, and so you and your descendants will be a blessing to all nations on earth.”

Some years later God decided to test Abraham, so he spoke to him. Abraham answered, “Here I am, LORD.”

But the LORD's angel shouted from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Here I am!” he answered.

The LORD's angel called out from heaven a second time: You were willing to offer your only son to the LORD, and so he makes you this solemn promise

when they reached the place that God had told him about, Abraham built an altar and placed the wood on it. Next, he tied up his son and put him on the wood.
