10 Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
11 The angel of Yahweh called to him out of the sky, and said, 'Abraham, Abraham!' He said, 'Here I am.'
12 He said, 'Don't lay your hand on the boy, neither do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.'
13 Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
14 Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh-Jireh.{'Yahweh-Jireh' means 'Yahweh is my provider.'} As it is said to this day, 'In Yahweh's mountain it will be provided.
