2 God said, 'Take your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac; And thou shalt go to the land of Moriah, and there thou shalt offer him for a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell thee.

3 Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took with him two of his young men, and Isaac his son; and he chopped wood for a burnt offering, and got up he went to the place of which God had told him.
