22:1 Some time after these things God tested 1 Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am!” Abraham 2 replied. 22:2 God 3 said, “Take your son – your only son, whom you love, Isaac 4 – and go to the land of Moriah! 5 Offer him up there as a burnt offering 6 on one of the mountains which I will indicate to 7 you.”
22:3 Early in the morning Abraham got up and saddled his donkey. 8 He took two of his young servants with him, along with his son Isaac. When he had cut the wood for the burnt offering, he started out 9 for the place God had spoken to him about.
22:4 On the third day Abraham caught sight of 10 the place in the distance. 22:5 So he 11 said to his servants, “You two stay 12 here with the donkey while 13 the boy and I go up there. We will worship 14 and then return to you.” 15
22:6 Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and put it on his son Isaac. Then he took the fire and the knife in his hand, 16 and the two of them walked on together. 22:7 Isaac said to his father Abraham, 17 “My father?” “What is it, 18 my son?” he replied. “Here is the fire and the wood,” Isaac said, 19 “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?” 22:8 “God will provide 20 for himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son,” Abraham replied. The two of them continued on together.
22:9 When they came to the place God had told him about, Abraham built the altar there 21 and arranged the wood on it. Next he tied up 22 his son Isaac and placed him on the altar on top of the wood. 22:10 Then Abraham reached out his hand, took the knife, and prepared to slaughter 23 his son. 22:11 But the Lord’s angel 24 called to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Here I am!” he answered. 22:12 “Do not harm the boy!” 25 the angel said. 26 “Do not do anything to him, for now I know 27 that you fear 28 God because you did not withhold your son, your only son, from me.”
22:13 Abraham looked up 29 and saw 30 behind him 31 a ram caught in the bushes by its horns. So he 32 went over and got the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son. 22:14 And Abraham called the name of that place “The Lord provides.” 33 It is said to this day, 34 “In the mountain of the Lord provision will be made.” 35
22:15 The Lord’s angel called to Abraham a second time from heaven 22:16 and said, “‘I solemnly swear by my own name,’ 36 decrees the Lord, 37 ‘that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, 22:17 I will indeed bless you, 38 and I will greatly multiply 39 your descendants 40 so that they will be as countless as the stars in the sky or the grains of sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession 41 of the strongholds 42 of their enemies. 22:18 Because you have obeyed me, 43 all the nations of the earth will pronounce blessings on one another 44 using the name of your descendants.’”
22:19 Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they set out together 45 for Beer Sheba where Abraham stayed. 46
22:20 After these things Abraham was told, “Milcah 47 also has borne children to your brother Nahor – 22:21 Uz the firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel (the father of Aram), 48 22:22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.” 22:23 (Now 49 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah.) These were the eight sons Milcah bore to Abraham’s brother Nahor. 22:24 His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore him children – Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
13:1 So Abram went up from Egypt into the Negev. 50 He took his wife and all his possessions with him, as well as Lot. 51
1:29 On the next day John 52 saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God 53 who takes away the sin of the world!
1:1 In the beginning 54 was the Word, and the Word was with God, 55 and the Word was fully God. 56
1:24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I fill up in my physical body – for the sake of his body, the church – what is lacking in the sufferings of Christ.
1:1 From Paul, 59 an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
1:11 No one remembers the former events, 60
nor will anyone remember 61 the events that are yet to happen; 62
they will not be remembered by the future generations. 63
1:12 I, the Teacher, have been king over Israel in Jerusalem. 64
5:6 Then 65 I saw standing in the middle of the throne 66 and of the four living creatures, and in the middle of the elders, a Lamb that appeared to have been killed. 67 He had 68 seven horns and seven eyes, which 69 are the seven 70 spirits of God 71 sent out into all the earth. 5:7 Then 72 he came and took the scroll 73 from the right hand of the one who was seated on the throne, 5:8 and when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders threw themselves to the ground 74 before the Lamb. Each 75 of them had a harp and golden bowls full of incense (which are the prayers of the saints). 76 5:9 They were singing a new song: 77
“You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals
because you were killed, 78
and at the cost of your own blood 79 you have purchased 80 for God
persons 81 from every tribe, language, 82 people, and nation.
5:10 You have appointed 83 them 84 as a kingdom and priests 85 to serve 86 our God, and they will reign 87 on the earth.”
5:11 Then 88 I looked and heard the voice of many angels in a circle around the throne, as well as the living creatures and the elders. Their 89 number was ten thousand times ten thousand 90 – thousands times thousands – 5:12 all of whom 91 were singing 92 in a loud voice:
“Worthy is the lamb who was killed 93
to receive power and wealth
and wisdom and might
and honor and glory and praise!”
