And he said to him, Take your son, your beloved whom you love, Isaac, and go to a high land, and offer him up upon one of the mountains which I will show you.

And I stood before him, and before the prince of the Mastemā, 2 and the Lord said, "Bid him not to lay his hand on the lad, nor to do anything to him, for I have shown that he feareth the Lord. "
And I said unto him: "Lay not thy hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything to him; for now I have shown that thou fearest the Lord, and hast not withheld thy son, thy first-born son, from me. "
