Abraham

And said vnto his seruants, Abide you here with the asse: for I and the childe will go yonder and worship, and come againe vnto you.

Then Abraham tooke the wood of the burnt offering, and layed it vpon Izhak his sonne, and he tooke the fire in his hand, and the knife: and they went both together.

Then spake Izhak vnto Abraham his father, and said, My father. And he answered, Here am I, my sonne. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood, but where is the lambe for ye burnt offring?

Then Abraham answered, My sonne, God will prouide him a lambe for a burnt offering: so they went both together.

And when they came to the place which God had shewed him, Abraham builded an altar there, and couched ye wood, and bound Izhak his sonne and laid him on the altar vpon the wood.

And Abraham stretching forth his hand, tooke the knife to kill his sonne.

But the Angel of the Lord called vnto him from heauen, saying, Abraham, Abraham. And he answered, Here am I.

And Abraham lifting vp his eyes, looked: and behold, there was a ramme behind him caught by the hornes in a bush. then Abraham went and tooke the ramme, and offered him vp for a burnt offering in the steade of his sonne.

And Abraham called the name of that place, Iehouah-ijreh. as it is said this day, In the mount will the Lord be seene.

And the Angel of the Lord cryed vnto Abraham from heauen the second time,

Then turned Abraham againe vnto his seruants, and they rose vp and went together to Beer-sheba: and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.

And after these things one tolde Abraham, saying, Beholde Milcah, she hath also borne children vnto thy brother Nahor:

And Bethuel begate Rebekah: these eight did Milcah beare to Nahor Abrahams brother.

Then Sarah dyed in Kiriath-arba: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan. and Abraham came to mourne for Sarah and to weepe for her.

Then Abraham rose vp from the sight of his corps, and talked with the Hittites, saying,

Then the Hittites answered Abraham, saying vnto him,

Then Abraham stoode vp, and bowed him selfe before the people of the land of the Hittites.

(For Ephron dwelt among the Hittites) Then Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of all the Hittites that went in at the gates of his citie, saying,

Then Abraham bowed himselfe before the people of the land,

Ephron then answered Abraham, saying vnto him,

So Abraham hearkened vnto Ephron, and Abraham weyed to Ephron the siluer, which he had named, in the audience of the Hittites, euen foure hundreth siluer shekels of currant money among marchants.

Vnto Abraham for a possession, in ye sight of the Hittites, euen of all that went in at the gates of his citie.

And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the caue of the fielde of Machpelah ouer against Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan.

Thus the fielde and the caue, that is therein, was made sure vnto Abraham for a possession of buriall by the Hittites.

Nowe Abraham was olde, and striken in yeeres, and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things.
