Abraham therefore rising early, saddled his ass & took two servants with him, & Isaac his son. And when he had cut wood for the burnt sacrifice, he arose and went to the place that God had told him of. The third day, Abraham looking up, saw the place a far of, and said to his servants, tarry you here with the Ass, for I and the lad vvil go yonder, and when we have […] ⟨image 7⟩we vvill come to you again. Then Abraham took the wood for the burnt sacrifice, & laid it upon Isaac his son, & took the fire and a knife in his own hand, and so they went forth together. Then said Isaac to Abraham his father. My father. Abraham answered, here I am my son. And he said, Behold here is fire and wood, but where is the Lamb for burnt sacrifice. Abraham answered, my son, God vvill provide him a lamb for burnt sacrifice. And they went on both together. And when they came to the place that God had spoken of, he builded an altar there, and laid the wood in order upon it, and then bound Isaac his son & laid him upon the altar above the wood, and putting forth his hand caught the knife to strike of his sons neck. Then an Angel of the Lord cried unto him from heaven, saying Abraham, Abraham. Who answered, lo here I am. And he said unto him, lay not thy hand upon the child, neither do anything unto him. For now I know thou fearest God, seeing thou ⟨image 7⟩hast not spared thine only son for my sake. &▪ Abraham looked up & saw, & behold a sheep was caught behind him in a bush by the horns. Then Abraham went and took the sheep, and offered it up for a burnt offering in stead of his son. And Abraham called the name of the place, The Lord shall see. Whereof it is said at this day of that mountain, The Lord shall be seen. And the Angel of the Lord called unto Abraham from out of heaven the second time, saying: I have sworn by my self saith the Lord, for as much as thou hast done this thing, & not spared thine only son, I vvill bless thee and multiply thy seed as the stars of the sky, & as the sand on the seas shore, and thy seed shall possess the gates of thine enemies. And all nations of the earth shall be blessed in thy seed, because thou hast obeyed my voice.
