Genesis Chapter 22 Known as the Narrative of Abraham’s Tenth Trial”

Commonly known as “Abraham’s Test.”

As Abraham is asked to offer his son, his only son as G-d addressed Isaac.

But did you know? That in Islam religion, it is taught that it was Ishmael who was requested to be sacrificed; not Isaac.

“The Binding of Isaac on the Altar”

And it happened after these things that God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham,” and he replied, “Here I am.”
22:1
And He said, “Please take your son, your only one, whom you love – Isaac – and go to the land of Moriah; bring him up there as an offering upon one of the mountains which I shall tell you.”
:2
Then Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “Father – ” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” And he said, “Here are the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the offering?”
:7
And Abraham said, “God will seek out for Himself the lamb for the offering, my son.” …
:8
Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to slaughter his son.
:10
And an angel of Hashem called to him from heaven, and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”
:11
And he said, “Do not stretch out your hand against the lad nor do anything to him for now I know that you are a God-fearing man, since you have not withheld your son, your only one, from Me.”
:12
And Abraham raised his eyes and saw – behold, a ram! – afterwards, caught in the thicket by its horns; so Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as an offering instead of his son.
:13
And Abraham called the name of that site “Hashem Yireh.” as it is said this day, on the mountain Hashem will be seen.
:14
The angel of Hashem called to Abraham a second time from heaven.
:15
that I shall surely bless you and greatly increase your offspring like the stars of the heavens and like the sand on the seashore; and your offspring shall inherit the gate of its enemy.
:17
And all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves by your offspring, because you have listened to My voice.”
:18

1 And it came to pass after these things, that God tested Abraham, and He said to him, “Abraham,” and he said, “Here I am.”
2 And He said, “Please take your son, your only one, whom you love, yea, Isaac, and go away to the land of Moriah and bring him up there for a burnt offering on one of the mountains, of which I will tell you.”
3 And Abraham arose early in the morning, and he saddled his donkey, and he took his two young men with him and Isaac his son; and he split wood for a burnt offering, and he arose 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 from afar.
5 And Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go yonder, and we will prostrate ourselves and return to you.”
6 And Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering, and he placed [it] upon his son Isaac, and he took into his hand the fire and the knife, and they both went together.
7 And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and he said, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” And he said, “Here are the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
8 And Abraham said, “God will provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And they both went together.
9 And they came to the place of which God had spoken to him, and Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood, and he bound Isaac his son and placed him on the altar upon the wood.
10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand and took the knife, to slaughter his son.
11 And an angel of God called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”
12 And he said, “Do not stretch forth your hand to the lad, nor do the slightest thing to him, for now I know that you are a God fearing man, and you did not withhold your son, your only one, from Me.”
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and he saw, and lo! there was a ram, [and] after [that] it was caught in a tree by its horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son.
14 And Abraham named that place, The Lord will see, as it is said to this day: On the mountain, the Lord will be seen.
15 And an angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven.
16 And he said, “By Myself have I sworn, says the Lord, that because you have done this thing and you did not withhold your son, your only one,
17 That I will surely bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand that is on the seashore, and your descendants will inherit the cities of their enemies.
18 And through your children shall be blessed all the nations of the world, because you hearkened to My voice.”
19 And Abraham returned to his young men, and they arose and went together to Beer sheba; and Abraham remained in Beer sheba.
20 And it came to pass after these matters, that it was told to Abraham saying: “Behold Milcah, she also bore sons to Nahor your brother.
21 Uz, his first born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel, the father of Aram.
22 And Kesed and Hazo and Pildash and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 And Bethuel begot Rebecca.” These eight did Milcah bear to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, had also given birth to Tebah and Gaham and Tahash and Maacah.
