Isaac

And God said to Abraham: Sara thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Isaac, and I will establish my covenant with him for a perpetual covenant, and with his seed after him.

But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sara shall bring forth to thee at this time in the next year.

And Abraham called the name of his son, whom Sara bore him, Isaac.

And he circumcised him the eighth day, as God had commanded him,

When he was a hundred years old: for at this age of his father, was Isaac born.

And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning.

Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with my son Isaac.

And God said to him: Let it not seem grievous to thee for the boy, and for thy bondwoman: in all that Sara hath said to thee, hearken to her voice: for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

He said to him: Take thy only begotten son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and go into the land of vision; and there thou shalt offer him for an holocaust upon one of the mountains which I will shew thee.

So Abraham rising up in the night, saddled his ass, and took with him two young men, and Isaac his son: and when he had cut wood for the holocaust, he went his way to the place which God had commanded him.

And he took the wood for the holocaust, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he himself carried in his hands fire and a sword. And as they two went on together,

Isaac said to his father: My father. And he answered: What wilt thou, son? Behold, saith he, fire and wood: where is the victim for the holocaust?

And they came to the place which God had shewn him, where he built an altar, and laid the wood in order upon it; and when he had bound Isaac his son, he laid him on the altar upon the pile of wood.

But that thou go to my own country and kindred, and take a wife from thence for my son Isaac.

Now, therefore, the maid to whom I shall say: Let down thy pitcher that I may drink: and she shall answer, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let it be the same whom thou hast provided for thy servant Isaac: and by this, I shall understand that thou hast shewn kindness to my master.

At the same time, Isaac was walking along the way to the well which is called Of the living and the seeing: for he dwelt in the south country:

And he was gone forth to meditate in the field, the day being now well spent: and when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw camels coming afar off.

Rebecca also, when she saw Isaac, lighted off the camel,

And the servant told Isaac all that he had done.

Who brought her into the tent of Sara his mother, and took her to wife: and he loved her so much, that it moderated the sorrow which was occasioned by his mother's death.

And Abraham gave all his possessions to Isaac:

And to the children of the concubines he gave gifts, and separated them from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, to the east country.

And Isaac and Ismael his sons buried him in the double cave, which was situated in the field of Ephron the son of Seor the Hethite, over against Mambre,

And after his death, God blessed Isaac his son, who dwelt by the well named Of the living and seeing.

These also are the generations of Isaac the son of Abraham: Abraham begot Isaac:
