Genesis 22

Kepercayaan Abraham diuji
22:1 Setelah semuanya itu Allah mencoba Abraham. Ia berfirman kepadanya: "Abraham," lalu sahutnya: "Ya, Tuhan." 22:2 Firman-Nya: "Ambillah anakmu yang tunggal itu, yang engkau kasihi, yakni Ishak, pergilah ke tanah Moria dan persembahkanlah dia di sana sebagai korban bakaran pada salah satu gunung yang akan Kukatakan kepadamu."
22:3 Keesokan harinya pagi-pagi bangunlah Abraham, ia memasang pelana keledainya dan memanggil dua orang bujangnya beserta Ishak, anaknya; ia membelah juga kayu untuk korban bakaran itu, lalu berangkatlah ia dan pergi ke tempat yang dikatakan Allah kepadanya.
22:4 Ketika pada hari ketiga Abraham melayangkan pandangnya, kelihatanlah kepadanya tempat itu dari jauh.
22:5 Kata Abraham kepada kedua bujangnya itu: "Tinggallah kamu di sini dengan keledai ini; aku beserta anak ini akan pergi ke sana; kami akan sembahyang, sesudah itu kami kembali kepadamu."
22:6 Lalu Abraham mengambil kayu untuk korban bakaran itu dan memikulkannya ke atas bahu Ishak, anaknya, sedang di tangannya dibawanya api dan pisau. Demikianlah keduanya berjalan bersama-sama.
22:7 Lalu berkatalah Ishak kepada Abraham, ayahnya: "Bapa." Sahut Abraham: "Ya, anakku." Bertanyalah ia: "Di sini sudah ada api dan kayu, tetapi di manakah anak domba untuk korban bakaran itu?"
22:8 Sahut Abraham: "Allah yang akan menyediakan anak domba untuk korban bakaran bagi-Nya, anakku." Demikianlah keduanya berjalan bersama-sama.
22:9 Sampailah mereka ke tempat yang dikatakan Allah kepadanya. Lalu Abraham mendirikan mezbah di situ, disusunnyalah kayu, diikatnya Ishak, anaknya itu, dan diletakkannya di mezbah itu, di atas kayu api.
22:10 Sesudah itu Abraham mengulurkan tangannya, lalu mengambil pisau untuk menyembelih anaknya.
22:11 Tetapi berserulah Malaikat TUHAN dari langit kepadanya: "Abraham, Abraham." Sahutnya: "Ya, Tuhan."
22:12 Lalu Ia berfirman: "Jangan bunuh anak itu dan jangan kauapa-apakan dia, sebab telah Kuketahui sekarang, bahwa engkau takut akan Allah, dan engkau tidak segan-segan untuk menyerahkan anakmu yang tunggal kepada-Ku."
22:13 Lalu Abraham menoleh dan melihat seekor domba jantan di belakangnya, yang tanduknya tersangkut dalam belukar. Abraham mengambil domba itu, lalu mengorbankannya sebagai korban bakaran pengganti anaknya. 22:14 Dan Abraham menamai tempat itu: "TUHAN menyediakan"; sebab itu sampai sekarang dikatakan orang: "Di atas gunung TUHAN, akan disediakan."
22:15 Untuk kedua kalinya berserulah Malaikat TUHAN dari langit kepada Abraham,
22:16 kata-Nya: "Aku bersumpah demi diri-Ku sendiri -- demikianlah firman TUHAN --: Karena engkau telah berbuat demikian, dan engkau tidak segan-segan untuk menyerahkan anakmu yang tunggal kepada-Ku,
22:17 maka Aku akan memberkati engkau berlimpah-limpah dan membuat keturunanmu sangat banyak seperti bintang di langit dan seperti pasir di tepi laut, dan keturunanmu itu akan menduduki kota-kota musuhnya.
22:18 Oleh keturunanmulah semua bangsa di bumi akan mendapat berkat, karena engkau mendengarkan firman-Ku."
22:19 Kemudian kembalilah Abraham kepada kedua bujangnya, dan mereka bersama-sama berangkat ke Bersyeba; dan Abraham tinggal di Bersyeba. Keturunan Nahor
22:20 Sesudah itu Abraham mendapat kabar: "Juga Milka telah melahirkan anak-anak lelaki bagi Nahor, saudaramu: 22:21 Us, anak sulung, dan Bus, adiknya, dan Kemuel, ayah Aram,
22:22 juga Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Yidlaf dan Betuel."
22:23 Dan Betuel memperanakkan Ribka. Kedelapan orang inilah dilahirkan Milka bagi Nahor, saudara Abraham itu.
22:24 Dan gundik Nahor, yang namanya Reuma, melahirkan anak juga, yakni Tebah, Gaham, Tahash dan Maakha.

It happened after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" He said, "Here I am."
2

He said, "Now take your son, your only son, whom you love, even Isaac, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there for a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of."
3

Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.
4

On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
5

Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go yonder. We will worship, and come back to you."
6

Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together.
7

Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, "My father?" He said, "Here I am, my son." He said, "Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"
8

Abraham said, "God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they both went together.
9

They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood.
10

Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
11

The angel of Yahweh called to him out of the sky, and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" He said, "Here I am."
12

He said, "Don't lay your hand on the boy, neither do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me."
13

Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
14

Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh Will Provide. As it is said to this day, "On Yahweh's mountain, it will be provided."
15

The angel of Yahweh called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
16

and said, "I have sworn by myself, says Yahweh, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
17

that I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your seed greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your seed will possess the gate of his enemies.
18

In your seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice."
19

So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.
20

It happened after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, "Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
21

Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
22

Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel."
23

Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
24

His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
