3 And so Abraham, getting up in the night, harnessed his donkey, taking with him two youths, and his son Isaac. And when he had cut wood for the holocaust, he traveled toward the place, as God had instructed him.
4 Then, on the third day, lifting up his eyes, he saw the place at a distance.
5 And he said to his servants: 'Wait here with the donkey. I and the boy will hurry further ahead to that place. After we have worshipped, will return to you.'
6 He also took the wood for the holocaust, and he imposed it upon his son Isaac. And he himself carried in his hands fire and a sword. And as the two continued on together,
7 Isaac said to his father, 'My father.' And he answered, 'What do you want, son?' 'Behold,' he said, 'fire and wood. Where is the victim for the holocaust?'
