Therefore Abimelech rose earely in the morning, and called all his seruants, and told all these things in their eares: and the men were sore afraid.

And Abimelech tooke sheepe and oxen, and men-seruants, and women seruants, and gaue them vnto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.

So Abraham prayed vnto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-seruants, and they bare children.

For Sarah conceiued, and bare Abraham a sonne in his old age, at the set time, of which God had spoken to him.

And Abraham called the name of his sonne, that was borne vnto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.

And Abraham circumcised his sonne Isaac, being eight dayes old, as God had commanded him.

And Abraham was an hundred yeeres old, when his sonne Isaac was borne vnto him.

And she said, Who would haue said vnto Abraham, that Sarah should haue giuen children sucke? for I haue borne him a sonne in his old age.

And the thing was very grieuous in Abrahams sight, because of his sonne.

And hee dwelt in the wildernesse of Paran: and his mother tooke him a wife out of the land of Egypt.

And it came to passe at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chiefe captaine of his hoste spake vnto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest.

Thus they made a couenant at Beeer-sheba: then Abimelech rose vp, and Phichol the chiefe captaine of his hoste, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.

And Abraham rose vp earely in the morning, and sadled his asse, and tooke two of his yong men with him, and Isaac his sonne, and claue the wood for the burnt offering, and rose vp, and went vnto the place of which God had told him.

Then on the third day Abraham lift vp his eyes, and saw the place afarre off.

And Abraham said vnto his yong men, Abide you here with the asse, and I and the lad will goe yonder and worship, and come againe to you.

And Abraham tooke the wood of the burnt offering, and layd it vpon Isaac his sonne: and he tooke the fire in his hand, and a knife: and they went both of them together.

And Isaac spake vnto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my sonne. And hee said, Behold the fire and wood: but where is the lambe for a burnt offring?

And they came to the place which God had tolde him of, and Abraham built an Altar there, and layd the wood in order, and bound Isaac his sonne, and layde him on the Altar vpon the wood.

And Abraham stretched foorth his hand, and tooke the knife to slay his sonne.

And Abraham lifted vp his eyes, and looked, and beholde, behinde him a Ramme caught in a thicket by his hornes: And Abraham went and tooke the Ramme, and offered him vp for a burnt offering, in the stead of his sonne.
