And God was with the boy, and he grew up. He lived in the wilderness and became an expert with the bow.

At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, "God is with you in all that you do.

Now therefore swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me or with my descendants or with my posterity, but as I have dealt kindly with you, so you will deal with me and with the land where you have sojourned."

Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba and called there on the name of the Lord , the Everlasting God.

After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."

So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac. And he cut the wood for the burnt offering and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.

Abraham said, "God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they went both of them together.

When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built the altar there and laid the wood in order and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.

He said, "Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me."

"Hear us, my lord; you are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the choicest of our tombs. None of us will withhold from you his tomb to hinder you from burying your dead."

that I may make you swear by the Lord , the God of heaven and God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell,

The Lord , the God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my kindred, and who spoke to me and swore to me, ‘To your offspring I will give this land,' he will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.

And he said, "O Lord , God of my master Abraham, please grant me success today and show steadfast love to my master Abraham.

and said, "Blessed be the Lord , the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his steadfast love and his faithfulness toward my master. As for me, the Lord has led me in the way to the house of my master's kinsmen."

"I came today to the spring and said, ‘O Lord , the God of my master Abraham, if now you are prospering the way that I go,

Then I bowed my head and worshiped the Lord and blessed the Lord , the God of my master Abraham, who had led me by the right way to take the daughter of my master's kinsman for his son.

After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac his son. And Isaac settled at Beer-lahai-roi.

And the Lord appeared to him the same night and said, "I am the God of Abraham your father. Fear not, for I am with you and will bless you and multiply your offspring for my servant Abraham's sake."

But Isaac said to his son, "How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?" He answered, "Because the Lord your God granted me success."

May God give you of the dew of heaven and of the fatness of the earth and plenty of grain and wine.
