אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵֽינוּ, זָכְרֵֽנוּ בְּזִכְרוֹן טוֹב לְפָנֶֽיךָ, וּפָקְדֵֽנוּ בִּפְקֻדַּת יְשׁוּעָה וְרַחֲמִים מִשְּׁמֵי שְׁמֵי קֶֽדֶם, וּזְכָר לָֽנוּ יהוה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ, אַהֲבַת הַקַּדְמוֹנִים אַבְרָהָם יִצְחָק וְיִשְׂרָאֵל עֲבָדֶֽיךָ, אֶת הַבְּרִית וְאֶת הַחֶֽסֶד וְאֶת הַשְּׁבוּעָה שֶׁנִּשְׁבַּֽעְתָּ לְאַבְרָהָם אָבִֽינוּ בְּהַר הַמּוֹרִיָּה, וְאֶת הָעֲקֵדָה שֶׁעָקַד אֶת יִצְחָק בְּנוֹ עַל גַּבֵּי הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ, כַּכָּתוּב בְּתוֹרָתֶֽךָ:
Our God and God of our ancestors, remember us with a favorable memory, and recall us with a remembrance of salvation and compassion from the highest of high heavens. Remember, LORD our God, on our behalf, the love of the ancients, Abraham, Isaac and Yisrael Your servants; the covenant, the loving-kindness, and the oath You swore to Abraham our father on Mount Moriah, and the Binding, when he bound Isaac his son on the altar, as is written in Your Torah:
וַיְהִי אַחַר הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵֽלֶּה, וְהָאֱלֹהִים נִסָּה אֶת־אַבְרָהָם, וַיֹּֽאמֶר אֵלָיו אַבְרָהָם, וַיֹּֽאמֶר הִנֵּֽנִי׃ וַיֹּֽאמֶר קַח־נָא אֶת־בִּנְךָ אֶת־יְחִידְךָ אֲשֶׁר־אָהַֽבְתָּ, אֶת־יִצְחָק, וְלֶךְ־לְךָ אֶל־אֶֽרֶץ הַמֹּרִיָּה, וְהַעֲלֵֽהוּ שָׁם לְעֹלָה עַל אַחַד הֶהָרִים אֲשֶׁר אֹמַר אֵלֶֽיךָ׃ וַיַּשְׁכֵּם אַבְרָהָם בַּבֹּֽקֶר, וַיַּחֲבֹשׁ אֶת־חֲמֹרוֹ, וַיִּקַּח אֶת־שְׁנֵי נְעָרָיו אִתּוֹ וְאֵת יִצְחָק בְּנוֹ, וַיְבַקַּע עֲצֵי עֹלָה, וַיָּֽקָם וַיֵּֽלֶךְ אֶל־הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר־אָמַר־לוֹ הָאֱלֹהִים׃ בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי וַיִּשָּׂא אַבְרָהָם אֶת־עֵינָיו וַיַּרְא אֶת־הַמָּקוֹם מֵרָחֹק׃ וַיֹּֽאמֶר אַבְרָהָם אֶל־נְעָרָיו, שְׁבוּ־לָכֶם פֹּה עִם־הַחֲמוֹר, וַאֲנִי וְהַנַּֽעַר נֵלְכָה עַד־כֹּה, וְנִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה וְנָשֽׁוּבָה אֲלֵיכֶם׃ וַיִּקַּח אַבְרָהָם אֶת־עֲצֵי הָעֹלָה וַיָּֽשֶׂם עַל־יִצְחָק בְּנוֹ, וַיִּקַּח בְּיָדוֹ אֶת־הָאֵשׁ וְאֶת־הַמַּאֲכֶֽלֶת, וַיֵּלְכוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם יַחְדָּו׃ וַיֹּֽאמֶר יִצְחָק אֶל־אַבְרָהָם אָבִיו, וַיֹּֽאמֶר אָבִי, וַיֹּֽאמֶר הִנֶּֽנִּי בְנִי, וַיֹּֽאמֶר, הִנֵּה הָאֵשׁ וְהָעֵצִים, וְאַיֵּה הַשֶּׂה לְעֹלָה׃ וַיֹּֽאמֶר אַבְרָהָם, אֱלֹהִים יִרְאֶה־לּוֹ הַשֶּׂה לְעֹלָה, בְּנִי, וַיֵּלְכוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם יַחְדָּו׃ וַיָּבֹֽאוּ אֶל־הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר אָמַר־לוֹ הָאֱלֹהִים, וַיִּֽבֶן שָׁם אַבְרָהָם אֶת־הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ וַיַּעֲרֹךְ אֶת־הָעֵצִים, וַיַּעֲקֹד אֶת־יִצְחָק בְּנוֹ, וַיָּֽשֶׂם אֹתוֹ עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ מִמַּֽעַל לָעֵצִים׃ וַיִּשְׁלַח אַבְרָהָם אֶת־יָדוֹ, וַיִּקַּח אֶת־הַמַּאֲכֶֽלֶת, לִשְׁחֹט אֶת־בְּנוֹ׃ וַיִּקְרָא אֵלָיו מַלְאַךְ יהוה מִן־הַשָּׁמַֽיִם, וַיֹּֽאמֶר אַבְרָהָם אַבְרָהָם, וַיֹּֽאמֶר הִנֵּֽנִי׃ וַיֹּֽאמֶר אַל־תִּשְׁלַח יָדְךָ אֶל־הַנַּֽעַר, וְאַל־תַּֽעַשׂ לוֹ מְאֽוּמָה, כִּי עַתָּה יָדַֽעְתִּי כִּי־יְרֵא אֱלֹהִים אַֽתָּה, וְלֹא חָשַֽׂכְתָּ אֶת־בִּנְךָ אֶת־יְחִידְךָ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ וַיִּשָּׂא אַבְרָהָם אֶת־עֵינָיו, וַיַּרְא וְהִנֵּה־אַֽיִל, אַחַר נֶאֱחַז בַּסְּבַךְ בְּקַרְנָיו, וַיֵּֽלֶךְ אַבְרָהָם וַיִּקַּח אֶת־הָאַֽיִל, וַיַּעֲלֵֽהוּ לְעֹלָה תַּֽחַת בְּנוֹ׃ וַיִּקְרָא אַבְרָהָם שֵׁם־הַמָּקוֹם הַהוּא יהוה יִרְאֶה, אֲשֶׁר יֵאָמֵר הַיּוֹם בְּהַר יהוה יֵרָאֶה׃ וַיִּקְרָא מַלְאַךְ יהוה אֶל־אַבְרָהָם שֵׁנִית מִן־הַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃ וַיֹּֽאמֶר, בִּי נִשְׁבַּֽעְתִּי נְאֻם־יהוה, כִּי יַֽעַן אֲשֶׁר עָשִֽׂיתָ אֶת־הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה, וְלֹא חָשַֽׂכְתָּ אֶת־בִּנְךָ אֶת־יְחִידֶֽךָ׃ כִּי־בָרֵךְ אֲבָרֶכְךָ, וְהַרְבָּה אַרְבֶּה אֶת־זַרְעֲךָ כְּכוֹכְבֵי הַשָּׁמַֽיִם, וְכַחוֹל אֲשֶׁר עַל־שְׂפַת הַיָּם, וְיִרַשׁ זַרְעֲךָ אֵת שַֽׁעַר אֹיְבָיו׃ וְהִתְבָּרֲכוּ בְזַרְעֲךָ כֹּל גּוֹיֵי הָאָֽרֶץ, עֵֽקֶב אֲשֶׁר שָׁמַֽעְתָּ בְּקֹלִי׃ וַיָּֽשָׁב אַבְרָהָם אֶל־נְעָרָיו, וַיָּקֻֽמוּ וַיֵּלְכוּ יַחְדָּו אֶל־בְּאֵר שָֽׁבַע, וַיֵּֽשֶׁב אַבְרָהָם בִּבְאֵר שָֽׁבַע׃
It happened after these things that God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied. He said, “Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah and offer him there as a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I shall say to you.” Early the next morning Abraham rose and saddled his donkey and took his two lads with him, and Isaac his son, and he cut wood for the burnt-offering, and he set out for the place of which God had told him. On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place from afar. Abraham said to his lads, “Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go on ahead. We will worship and we will return to you.” Abraham took the wood for the burnt-offering and placed it on Isaac his son, and he took in his hand the fire and the knife, and the two of them went together. Isaac said to Abraham his father, “Father?” and he said “Here I am, my son.” And he said, “Here are the fire and the wood, but where is the sheep for the burnt-offering?” Abraham said, “God will see to the sheep for the burnt-offering, my son.” And the two of them went together. They came to the place God had told him about, and Abraham built there an altar and arranged the wood and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar on top of the wood. He reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. Then an angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.” He said, “Do not reach out your hand against the boy; do not do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, because you have not held back your son, your only son, from Me.” Abraham looked up and there he saw a ram caught in a thicket by its horns, and Abraham went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt-offering instead of his son. Abraham called that place “The LORD will see,” as is said to this day, “On the mountain of the LORD He will be seen.” The angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time from heaven, and said, “By Myself I swear, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not held back your son, your only son, I will greatly bless you and greatly multiply your descendants, as the stars of heaven and the sand of the seashore, and your descendants shall take possession of the gates of their enemies. Through your descendants, all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have heeded My voice.” Then Abraham returned to his lads, and they rose and went together to Beersheba, and Abraham stayed in Beersheba.
רִבּוֹנוֹ שֶׁל עוֹלָם, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּבַשׁ אַבְרָהָם אָבִֽינוּ אֶת רַחֲמָיו לַעֲשׂוֹת רְצוֹנְךָ בְּלֵבָב שָׁלֵם, כֵּן יִכְבְּשׁוּ רַחֲמֶֽיךָ אֶת כַּעַסְךָ מֵעָלֵֽינוּ וְיִגֹּֽלּוּ רַחֲמֶֽיךָ עַל מִדּוֹתֶֽיךָ. וְתִתְנַהֵג עִמָּֽנוּ יהוה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ בְּמִדַּת הַחֶֽסֶד וּבְמִדַּת הָרַחֲמִים, וּבְטוּבְךָ הַגָּדוֹל יָשׁוּב חֲרוֹן אַפְּךָ מֵעַמְּךָ וּמֵעִירְךָ וּמֵאַרְצְךָ וּמִנַּחֲלָתֶֽךָ. וְקַיֶּם לָֽנוּ יהוה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ אֶת הַדָּבָר שֶׁהִבְטַחְתָּֽנוּ בְתוֹרָתֶֽךָ עַל יְדֵי מֹשֶׁה עַבְדֶּֽךָ, כָּאָמוּר: וְזָכַרְתִּי אֶת־בְּרִיתִי יַעֲקוֹב וְאַף אֶת־בְּרִיתִי יִצְחָק, וְאַף אֶת־בְּרִיתִי אַבְרָהָם אֶזְכֹּר, וְהָאָֽרֶץ אֶזְכֹּר:
Master of the Universe, just as Abraham our father suppressed his compassion to do Your will wholeheartedly, so may Your compassion suppress Your anger from us and may Your compassion prevail over Your other attributes. Deal with us, LORD our God, with the attributes of loving-kindness and compassion, and in Your great goodness may Your anger be turned away from Your people, Your city, Your land and Your inheritance. Fulfill in us, LORD our God, the promise You made in Your Torah through the hand of Moses Your servant, as it is said: “I will remember My covenant with Jacob, and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham I will remember, and the land I will remember.”
