And Abraham reached out with his hand and took the knife to ^(F1)slaughter his son.

But ^(C1)the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."

He said, "Do not reach out your hand against the boy, and do not do anything to him; for now ^(C1)I know that you ^(F1)fear God, since you have not withheld ^(C2)your son, your only son, from Me."

and said, "^(C1)By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son,

indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly ^(C1)multiply your ^(F1)seed as the stars of the heavens and as ^(C2)the sand, which is on the seashore; and ^(C3)your ^(F1)seed shall possess the gate of ^(F2)their enemies.

"And ^(C1)in your ^(F1)seed all the nations of the earth shall ^(F2)be blessed, because you have ^(C2)obeyed My voice."
