After these events, Elohim tested Avraham and said to him, Avraham! and he [Avraham] said, Here I am.

He said, Please [Now] take your son, your only one, who you love—Yitzchok—and go to the land of Moriah [worship]. Sacrifice him [before me] as a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I will designate to you.

Avraham awoke early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took his two assistants with him, and also his son, Yitzchok. He split the wood of the burnt-offering, rose, and went to the place that Elohim had designated to him.

On the third day, Avraham raised his eyes and saw the place from afar.

Avraham said to his assistants, Remain here with the donkey and I and the lad will go to that place. We will prostrate ourselves [in worship] and return to you.

Avraham took the wood of the burnt-offering and placed it on his son Yitzchok. In his hand he took the fire and the knife, and they both went together.

Yitzchok spoke to Avraham, his father, and said, Father, and he [Avraham] said, Here I am, my son. He said, Here are the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt-offering?

Avraham said, Elohim will show the lamb [the lamb is revealed before Elohim] for a burnt-offering, my son. And the two of them went together.

They came to the place that Elohim had designated to him. Avraham built the altar there, and arranged the wood. He bound his son Yitzchok, and placed him on the altar, on top of the wood.

Avraham extended his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.

An angel of Adonoy called to him from heaven and said, Avraham, Avraham! and he said, Here I am.

He [God] said, Do not touch the lad, nor do anything to [harm] him; for now I know that you are one who fears Elohim and have not withheld your son, your only one, from Me.

Avraham looked up [afterwards] and beheld a ram after it had been caught in the thicket by its horns. Avraham went and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt-offering instead of his son.

Avraham called the name of that place, Adonoy will see; as it is said [to] this day, On Adonoy’s mountain, He will be seen. [Avraham worshiped and prayed there in that place, and he said before Adonoy, “Here will generations worship”. Therefore, as it is said [to] this day, “On this mountain Avraham worshiped before Adonoy”.]

An angel of Adonoy called to Avraham, a second time, from heaven.

And said, I have sworn by Myself [My Word], declares Adonoy, that because you performed this deed, and did not withhold your only son.

I will greatly bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars of the sky and like the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will inherit the gate [cities] of their enemies.

Through [Because of] your children, will be blessed all the nations of the world, because you heeded My voice [Word].

Avraham returned to his assistants, and they rose and went together to Beer Sheva. Avraham dwelt in Beer Sheva.

After these words, it was told to Avraham, saying, Behold, Milkah has also born children to Nachor, your brother.

Utz, his first born, Buz his brother, and Kemueil, the father of Aram.

[Also] Kesed, Chazo, Pildash, Yidlaf and Besueil.

Besueil fathered Rivkah. These eight, Milkah bore to Nachor, the brother of Avraham.

His concubine was named Re’umah. She also gave birth to Tevach, Gacham, Tachash and Ma’achoh.
