ἐγένετο μετὰ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα ὁ θεὸς ἐπείραζεν τὸν Αβρααμ καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν Αβρααμ Αβρααμ ὁ δὲ εἶπεν ἰδοὺ ἐγώ
And it came to pass after these things that God was testing Abraham, and he said to him, Abraham, Abraham. And he said, Behold, I.

εἶπεν λαβὲ τὸν υἱόν σου τὸν ἀγαπητόν ὃν ἠγάπησας τὸν Ισαακ καὶ πορεύθητι εἰς τὴν γῆν τὴν ὑψηλὴν καὶ ἀνένεγκον αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ εἰς ὁλοκάρπωσιν ἐφ᾿ ἓν τῶν ὀρέων ὧν ἄν σοι εἴπω
And he said, Take your beloved son, whom you loved, Isaac, and go into the high land, and offer him there for a whole burnt offering on one of the mountains which I may tell you.
δὲ Αβρααμ τὸ πρωὶ ἐπέσαξεν τὴν ὄνον αὐτοῦ παρέλαβεν δὲ μεθ᾿ ἑαυτοῦ δύο παῖδας καὶ Ισαακ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ σχίσας ξύλα εἰς ὁλοκάρπωσιν ἀναστὰς ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον ὃν εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ θεός
And Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and he took with him two servants and Isaac his son; and having split wood for a burnt offering, he arose and went and came to the place which God had said to him.
On the third day, and Abraham lifting up his eyes saw the place from afar
εἶπεν Αβρααμ τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ καθίσατε αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῆς ὄνου ἐγὼ δὲ καὶ τὸ παιδάριον διελευσόμεθα ἕως ὧδε καὶ προσκυνήσαντες ἀναστρέψωμεν πρὸς ὑμᾶς
And Abraham said to his servants, Sit here with the donkey, and I and the boy will go over as far as here, and having worshiped, let us return to you.
δὲ Αβρααμ τὰ ξύλα τῆς ὁλοκαρπώσεως καὶ ἐπέθηκεν Ισαακ τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ ἔλαβεν δὲ καὶ τὸ πῦρ μετὰ χεῖρα καὶ τὴν μάχαιραν καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ δύο ἅμα
And Abraham took the wood of the whole burnt offering and put it on Isaac his son, and he took the fire in his hand and the knife, and the two went together
δὲ Ισαακ πρὸς Αβρααμ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ εἴπας πάτερ ὁ δὲ εἶπεν τί ἐστιν τέκνον λέγων ἰδοὺ τὸ πῦρ καὶ τὰ ξύλα ποῦ ἐστιν τὸ πρόβατον τὸ εἰς ὁλοκάρπωσιν
And Isaac said to Abraham his father, saying, Father. And he said, What is it, child? And he said, Behold, the fire and the wood; where is the sheep for the whole burnt offering?
And Abraham said, God will see for himself a lamb for a whole burnt offering, my child; and both went on together.
ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον ὃν εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ θεός καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ Αβρααμ θυσιαστήριον καὶ ἐπέθηκεν τὰ ξύλα καὶ συμποδίσας Ισαακ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἐπέθηκεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἐπάνω τῶν ξύλων
They came to the place which God had said to him, and Abraham built there an altar and put the wood in order, and, having bound Isaac his son, he laid him on the altar upon the wood.
And Abraham stretched out his hand to take the knife to slaughter his son
And an angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said to him, Abraham, Abraham. And he said, Behold, I am here.
εἶπεν μὴ ἐπιβάλῃς τὴν χεῖρά σου ἐπὶ τὸ παιδάριον μηδὲ ποιήσῃς αὐτῷ μηδέν νῦν γὰρ ἔγνων ὅτι φοβῇ τὸν θεὸν σὺ καὶ οὐκ ἐφείσω τοῦ υἱοῦ σου τοῦ ἀγαπητοῦ δι᾿ ἐμέ
And he said, Do not lay your hand on the child, nor do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, you, and you did not spare your beloved son because of me.
ἀναβλέψας Αβρααμ τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ εἶδεν καὶ ἰδοὺ κριὸς εἷς κατεχόμενος ἐν φυτῷ σαβεκ τῶν κεράτων καὶ ἐπορεύθη Αβρααμ καὶ ἔλαβεν τὸν κριὸν καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν αὐτὸν εἰς ὁλοκάρπωσιν ἀντὶ Ισαακ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ
And Abraham, having looked up with his eyes, saw, and behold, one ram was held fast in a thicket of Sabek by the horns; and Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a whole burnt offering instead of Isaac his son.
And Abraham called the name of that place, The Lord Saw, so that they might say today, On the mountain the Lord appeared.
And the angel of the Lord called Abraham a second time from heaven
κατ᾿ ἐμαυτοῦ ὤμοσα λέγει κύριος οὗ εἵνεκεν ἐποίησας τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο καὶ οὐκ ἐφείσω τοῦ υἱοῦ σου τοῦ ἀγαπητοῦ δι᾿ ἐμέ
saying, By myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you did this thing and did not spare your beloved son because of me
μὴν εὐλογῶν εὐλογήσω σε καὶ πληθύνων πληθυνῶ τὸ σπέρμα σου ὡς τοὺς ἀστέρας τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ὡς τὴν ἄμμον τὴν παρὰ τὸ χεῖλος τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ κληρονομήσει τὸ σπέρμα σου τὰς πόλεις τῶν ὑπεναντίων
Surely blessing I will bless you and multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is beside the seashore, and your seed shall inherit the cities of the adversaries.
and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you obeyed my voice
δὲ Αβρααμ πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀναστάντες ἐπορεύθησαν ἅμα ἐπὶ τὸ φρέαρ τοῦ ὅρκου καὶ κατῴκησεν Αβρααμ ἐπὶ τῷ φρέατι τοῦ ὅρκου
And Abraham turned back to his servants, and they arose and went together to the Well of the Oath, and Abraham dwelt at the Well of the Oath
δὲ μετὰ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα καὶ ἀνηγγέλη τῷ Αβρααμ λέγοντες ἰδοὺ τέτοκεν Μελχα καὶ αὐτὴ υἱοὺς Ναχωρ τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου
And it came to pass after these things that it was reported to Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah has also borne sons to Nahor your brother.
Uz the firstborn and Buz his brother and Kemuel the father of Syrians
and Chesed and Hazo and Pildash and Jidlaph and Bethuel
And Bethuel begot Rebekah. These eight were the sons whom Milcah bore to Nahor, the brother of Abraham.
And his concubine, whose name was Rehema, also bore Tabek and Gaaam and Tochos and Mōcha
