4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and ſaw the place afar off.
5 And Abraham ſaid unto his young men, Abide ye here with the aſs; and I and the lad will go yonder and worſhip, and come again to you.
6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and [1] laid it upon Iſaac his ſon; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.
7 And Iſaac ſpake unto Abraham his father, and ſaid, My father: and he ſaid, †† Heb. Behold me. Here am I, my ſon. And he ſaid, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the ‖‖ Or, kid. lamb for a burnt offering?
8 And Abraham ſaid, My ſon, God will provide himſelf a lamb for a burnt offering: ſo they went both of them together.
9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Iſaac his ſon, and [2] laid him on the altar upon the wood.
10 And Abraham ſtretched forth his hand, and took the knife to ſlay his ſon.
11 ¶ And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and ſaid, Abraham, Abraham: and he ſaid, Here am I.
12 And he ſaid, [3] Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for [4] now I know that thou feareſt God, ſeeing thou haſt not withheld thy ſon, thine only ſon from me.
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the ſtead of his ſon.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place ‖‖ That is, The LORD will ſee, or, provide. Jehovah-jireh: as it is ſaid to this day, In the mount of the LORD it ſhall be ſeen.
15 ¶ And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the ſecond time,
16 And ſaid, [5] By myſelf have I ſworn, ſaith the LORD, for becauſe thou haſt done this thing, and haſt not withheld thy ſon, thine only ſon:
17 That in bleſſing I will bleſs thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy ſeed [6] as the ſtars of the heaven, [7] and as the ſand which is upon the ſea †† Heb. lip. ſhore; and [8] thy ſeed ſhall poſſeſs [9] the gate of his enemies;
18 [10] And in thy ſeed ſhall all the nations of the earth be bleſſed; [11] becauſe thou haſt obeyed my voice.
19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they roſe up and went together to [12] Beer-ſheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-ſheba.
20 ¶ And it came to paſs after theſe things, that it was told Abraham, ſaying, Behold, [13] Milcah, ſhe hath alſo born children unto thy brother Nahor;
21 [14] Huz his firſtborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father [15] of Aram,
22 And Cheſed, and Hazo, and Pildaſh, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 And [16] Bethuel begat [17] Rebekah: theſe eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
24 And his concubine, whoſe name was Reumah, ſhe bare alſo Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahaſh, and Maachah.

21860. And Sarah died in [18] Kirjath-arba; the ſame is [19] Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
3 ¶ And Abraham ſtood up from before his dead, and ſpake unto the ſons of Heth, ſaying,
4 [20] I am a ſtranger and a ſojourner with you: [21] give me a poſſeſſion of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my ſight.
5 And the children of Heth anſwered Abraham, ſaying unto him,
6 Hear us, my lord: thou art †† Heb. a prince of God. [22] a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our ſepulchres bury thy dead; none of us ſhall withhold from thee his ſepulchre, but that thou mayeſt bury thy dead.
7 And Abraham ſtood up, and bowed himſelf to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.
8 And he communed with them, ſaying, If it be your mind that I ſhould bury my dead out of my ſight; hear me, and intreat for me to Ephron the ſon of Zohar,
9 That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for †† Heb. full money. as much money as it is worth he ſhall give it me for a poſſeſſion of a buryingplace amongſt you.
10 And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite anſwered Abraham in the †† Heb. ears. audience of the children of Heth, even of all that [23] went in at the gate of his city, ſaying,
