Then Abraham rose up early in the morning
and saddled his ass, and took two of his meiny with him, and Isaac
his sonne: and clove wood for the sacrifice, and rose up and got
him to the place which God had appointed him. The third day
Abraham lift up his eyes and saw the place afar off, and said unto
his young men: bide here with the ass. I and the lad will go
yonder and worship and come again unto you. And Abraham took the
wood of the sacrifice and laid it upon Isaac his son, and took
fire in his hand and a knife. And they went both of them together.
Then spake Isaac unto Abraham his father and said: My father? And
he answered here am I my son. And he said: See here is fire and
wood, but where is the sheep for sacrifice? And Abraham said: my
son, God will provide him a sheep for sacrifice. So went they both
together. And when they came unto the place which God shewed him,
Abraham made an altar there and dressed the wood, and bound Isaac
his son and laid him on the altar, above upon the wood. And
Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to have
killed his son. Then the angel of the LORD called unto him from
heaven saying: Abraham, Abraham?. And he answered: here am I. And
he said: lay not thy hands upon the child, neither do anything at
all unto him, for now I know that thou fearest God, in that thou
hast not kept thine only son from me.
