New Testament

Genesis 22:13-17 Modern English Version (MEV)

13. Then Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by his horns. So Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up as a burnt offering in the place of his son.

14. Abraham called the name of that place The Lord Will Provide, as it is said to this day, “In the mount of the Lord it will be provided.”

15. Then the angel of the Lord called to Abraham out of heaven a second time,

16. and said, “By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,

17. I will indeed bless you and I will indeed multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens and as the sand that is on the seashore. Your descendants will possess the gate of their enemies.
