   (John 3:1–21)

2. 1ENGOJBAnd it came to pass after these things, that G-d did test Avraham, and said unto him, Avraham: and he said, Hineini (Behold, here I am).BSBBSB: Some time later God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he answered.
3. 2ENGOJBAnd He said, Take now thy son, thine ben yachid (only son) Yitzchak, whom thou lovest, and get thee into eretz Moriyah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.BSBBSB: “Take your son,” God said, “your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.”
4. 3ENGOJBAnd Avraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his servants with him, and Yitzchak his son, and cut the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which G-d had told him.BSBBSB: So Abraham got up early the next morning, saddled his donkey, and took along two of his servants and his son Isaac. He split the wood for a burnt offering and set out for the place God had designated.
5. 4ENGOJBThen on Yom HaShlishi Avraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.BSBBSB: On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.
6. 5ENGOJBAnd Avraham said unto his servants, Abide ye here with the donkey; and I and the young man will go over there and nishtachaveh (we will worship) and we will come back again to you.BSBBSB: “Stay here with the donkey,” Abraham told his servants. “The boy and I will go over there to worship, and then we will return to you.”
7. 6ENGOJBAnd Avraham took atzei haolah (the wood of the burnt offering), and laid it upon Yitzchak his son; and he took the eish (fire) in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.BSBBSB: Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac. He himself carried the fire and the sacrificial knife, and the two of them walked on together.
8. 7ENGOJBAnd Yitzchak spoke unto Avraham his father, and said, Avi (My father): and he said, Hineini, beni (Here am I, my son). And he said, Hinei, the eish (fire) and the wood: but where is the seh (lamb) for a burnt offering?BSBBSB: Then Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father!” “Here I am, my son,” he replied. “The fire and the wood are here,” said Isaac, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
9. 8ENGOJBAnd Avraham said, My son, G-d will provide Himself a seh (lamb) for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.BSBBSB: Abraham answered, “God Himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two walked on together.
10. 9ENGOJBAnd they came to the place which G-d had told him of; and Avraham built a mizbe'ach there, and laid the wood in order, and made the akedah (binding) of Yitzchak his son, and laid him on the mizbe'ach upon the wood.BSBBSB: When they arrived at the place God had designated, Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood. He bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar, atop the wood.

12. The LORD Provides the Sacrifice

13. 11ENGOJBAnd the Malach Hashem called unto him out of Shomayim, and said, Avraham, Avraham: and he said, Hineini.BSBBSB: Just then the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham, Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.
14. 12ENGOJBAnd he said, Lay not thine hand upon the young man, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest G-d, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine ben yachid from Me.BSBBSB: “Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him,” said the angel, “for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your only son from me.”
15. 13ENGOJBAnd Avraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and hinei behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Avraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering TAKHAT (instead of) his son.BSBBSB: Then Abraham looked up and saw behind him a ram in a thicket, caught by its horns. So he went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.
16. 14ENGOJBAnd Avraham called the name of that place Hashem Yireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of Hashem it shall be provided.BSBBSB: And Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. So to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.”
17. 15ENGOJBAnd the Malach Hashem called unto Avraham out of Shomayim the second time,BSBBSB: And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time,
18. 16ENGOJBAnd said, By Myself have I sworn, saith Hashem, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine ben yachid:BSBBSB: saying, “By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your only son,
19. 17ENGOJBThat in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy zera as the stars of the skies, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy zera shall possess the gate of his enemies;BSBBSB: I will surely bless you, and I will multiply your descendants like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will possess the gates of their enemies.
20. 18ENGOJBAnd in thy zera shall kol goyei ha'aretz be blessed; because thou hast obeyed My voice.BSBBSB: And through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”
21. 19ENGOJBSo Avraham returned unto his servants, and they rose up and went together to Be'er-Sheva; and Avraham dwelt at Be'er-Sheva.BSBBSB: Abraham went back to his servants, and they got up and set out together for Beersheba. And Abraham settled in Beersheba.
