Chapter 22 of Genesis—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ Now it came about after these things, that 1God tested Abraham, and said to him, “2Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”
  2. He said, “Take now 3your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of 4Moriah, and offer him there as a 5burnt 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 with him and Isaac his son; and he split wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.
  4. On the third day Abraham raised his eyes and saw the place from a distance.
  5. Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there; and we will worship and return to you.”
  6. Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and 6laid it on Isaac his son, and he took in his hand the fire and the knife. So the two of them walked on together.
  7. Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” And he said, “Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the 7lamb for the burnt offering?”
  8. Abraham said, “God will [a]provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” So the two of them walked on together.
  9. ¶ Then they came to 8the place of which God had told him; and Abraham built 9the altar there and arranged the wood, and bound his son Isaac and 10laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.
  10. Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.
  11. But 11the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”
  12. He said, “Do not stretch out your hand against the lad, and do nothing to him; for now 12I know that you [b]fear God, since you have not withheld 13your son, your only son, from Me.”
  13. Then Abraham raised his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up for a burnt offering in the place of his son.
  14. Abraham called the name of that place [c]The LORD Will Provide, as it is said to this day, “In the mount of the LORD 14it will [d]be provided.”
  15. ¶ Then the angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time from heaven,
  16. and said, “15By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son,
  17. indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly 16multiply your [e]seed as the stars of the heavens and as 17the sand which is on the seashore; and 18your [f]seed shall possess the gate of [g]their enemies.
  18. 19In your [h]seed all the nations of the earth shall [i]be blessed, because you have 20obeyed My voice.”
  19. 21So Abraham returned to his young men, and they arose and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham lived at Beersheba.
  20. ¶ Now it came about after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, “Behold, 22Milcah [j]also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
  21. Uz his firstborn and Buz his brother and Kemuel the father of Aram
  22. and Chesed and Hazo and Pildash and Jidlaph and Bethuel.”
  23. Bethuel [k]became the father of 23Rebekah; these eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
  24. His concubine, whose name was Reumah, [l]also bore Tebah and Gaham and Tahash and Maacah.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
