13. Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw behind his back a ram amongst the briers sticking fast by the horns, which he took and offered for a holocaust instead of his son.
14. And he called the name of that place, The Lord seeth. Whereupon even to this day it is said: In the mountain the Lord will see.
15. And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven, saying:
16. By my own self have I sworn, saith the Lord: because thou hast done this thing, and hast not spared thy only begotten son for my sake:
17. I will bless thee, and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is by the seashore: thy seed shall possess the gates of their enemies.
18. And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voice.
19. Abraham returned to his young men, and they went to Bersabee together, and he dwelt there.
20. After these things, it was told Abraham that Melcha also had borne children to Nachor his brother.
21. Hus the firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Camuel the father of the Syrians,
22. And Cased, and Azau, and Pheldas, and Jedlaph,
23. And Bathuel, of whom was born Rebecca: These eight did Melcha bear to Nachor Abraham's brother.
