| 1 Now it came about after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am." | 1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. | 1 Later God tested Abraham and called to him, "Abraham!" "Yes, here I am!" he answered. | 1 It happened after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" He said, "Here I am." | 1 And it came to pass after these things, that God tried Abraham, and said to him, Abraham! and he said, Here am I. | 2 He said, "Take now your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you." | 2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. | 2 God said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I will show you." | 2 He said, "Now take your son, your only son, whom you love, even Isaac, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there for a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of." | 2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son, whom thou lovest, Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah, and there offer him up for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. | 3 So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him and Isaac his son; and he split wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him. | 3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him. | 3 Early the next morning Abraham saddled his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut the wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place that God had told him about. | 3 Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him. | 3 And Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he clave the wood for the burnt-offering, and rose up and went to the place that God had told him of. | 4 On the third day Abraham raised his eyes and saw the place from a distance. | 4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. | 4 Two days later Abraham saw the place in the distance. | 4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off. | 4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from afar. | 5 Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there; and we will worship and return to you." | 5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you. | 5 Then Abraham said to his servants, "You stay here with the donkey while the boy and I go over there. We'll worship. After that we'll come back to you." | 5 Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go yonder. We will worship, and come back to you." | 5 And Abraham said to his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |

And he said, "Here I am." | 11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. | 11 But the Messenger of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, "Abraham! Abraham!" "Yes?" he answered. | 11 The angel of Yahweh called to him out of the sky, and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" He said, "Here I am." | 11 And the Angel of Jehovah called to him from the heavens, and said, Abraham, Abraham! And he said, Here am I. | 12 He said, "Do not stretch out your hand against the lad, and do nothing to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me." | 12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. | 12 "Do not lay a hand on the boy," he said. "Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you did not refuse to give me your son, your only son." | 12 He said, "Don't lay your hand on the boy, neither do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me." | 12 And he said, Stretch not out thy hand against the lad, neither do anything to him; for now I know that thou fearest God, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son, from me. | 13 Then Abraham raised his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up for a burnt offering in the place of his son. | 13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. | 13 When Abraham looked around, he saw a ram behind him caught by its horns in a bush. So Abraham took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering in place of his son. | 13 Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns.

Your descendants will take possession of their enemies' cities. | 17 that I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your seed greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your seed will possess the gate of his enemies. | 17 I will richly bless thee, and greatly multiply thy seed, as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is on the sea-shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; | 18 "In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice." | 18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. | 18 Through your descendant all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me." | 18 In your seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice." | 18 and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves, because thou hast hearkened to my voice. | 19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they arose and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham lived at Beersheba. | 19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba. | 19 Then Abraham returned to his servants, and together they left for Beersheba.
