And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. 5) Then bram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and all the people whom they had aquired in Haran, and they departed to go to the Land of Canaan. So they came to the land of Canaan. 60) Abram passed through the land to the place of Schechem, as far as the terebinth tree of Moreh. And the Canaanites were in the land. 7) then the Lord appeared to Abram and aid, "To your descendants I will give this land."

God's Commad
1) Now it came to pass after these things that God tested abrham, and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, Here i am." 2) Then He said, "Take now your son, your only son Isaaac, whomyou love, and go the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you." 3) So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey and took two of his young men ith him, and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him. 4) Then on the third day Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place afar off. 5) And Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey; the lad and I will go yonnder and worship, and we will come back to you." 6) so Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering nd laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and the two of them went together. 7) But Isaac spoke to Abrham his father and said, "My father." And he said, "Here I am, my son." Then he said, "Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?" 8) And Abraham said, "My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering." So the two of them went together. 9) Then they came to the place of which God had told them. And Abraham built an alter there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the alter, upon the wood. 10) And Abraham streched out his hand and took the knife to slayy his son. 11) But the Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" So he said, "Here I am." 12) And He said, "Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, Since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me." 13) the Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So braham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son. 14) And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-will-provide; as it is said to this day, "In the Mount of the Lord it shall br provided."
