11. But the Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!”So he said, “Here I am.”
12. And He said, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”
13. Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
14. And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.”
15. Then the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time out of heaven,
16. and said: “By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son—
17. blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies.
