1 Después de estas cosas, Dios puso a prueba a Abraham. Lo llamó: «¡Abraham!». Él respondió: «Aquí estoy». 2 Dios le dijo: «Toma a tu hijo Isaac, tu único hijo amado, y ve a la tierra de Moria. Allí ofrécelo como ofrenda quemada sobre uno de los montes que te mostraré». 3 Abraham se levantó temprano por la mañana, preparó su asno y tomó consigo a dos de sus siervos jóvenes y a su hijo Isaac. Cortó leña para la ofrenda quemada y salió hacia el lugar que Dios le había indicado. 4 Al tercer día, Abraham levantó la vista y vio el lugar a lo lejos. 5 Entonces dijo a sus siervos: «Quédense aquí con el asno. El muchacho y yo iremos hasta allí para adorar, y luego volveremos». 6 Abraham puso sobre Isaac la leña para la ofrenda quemada. Él llevó el fuego y el cuchillo, y los dos siguieron caminando juntos. 7 Isaac dijo: «Padre mío». Abraham respondió: «Aquí estoy, hijo mío». Isaac preguntó: «Tenemos el fuego y la leña, pero ¿dónde está el cordero para la ofrenda quemada?». 8 Abraham respondió: «Dios mismo proveerá el cordero para la ofrenda quemada, hijo mío». Y los dos siguieron caminando juntos. 9 Cuando llegaron al lugar que Dios le había indicado, Abraham construyó un altar y acomodó la leña. Luego ató a su hijo Isaac y lo puso sobre la leña, encima del altar. 10 Abraham extendió la mano y tomó el cuchillo para matar a su hijo. 11 Pero el ángel del Señor lo llamó desde el cielo: «¡Abraham, Abraham!». Él respondió: «Aquí estoy». 12 El ángel dijo: «No pongas tu mano sobre el muchacho ni le hagas daño. Ahora sé que temes a Dios, porque no me has negado a tu hijo, tu único hijo». 13 Abraham levantó la vista y vio un carnero atrapado por los cuernos entre los arbustos. Tomó el carnero y lo ofreció como ofrenda quemada en lugar de su hijo. 14 Abraham llamó a aquel lugar «El Señor proveerá». Por eso hasta hoy se dice: «En el monte del Señor se proveerá». 15 El ángel del Señor llamó a Abraham por segunda vez desde el cielo 16 y dijo: «El Señor declara: He jurado por mí mismo que, por haber hecho esto y no haberme negado a tu hijo, tu único hijo, 17 ciertamente te bendeciré y haré que tu descendencia sea tan numerosa como las estrellas del cielo y como la arena a la orilla del mar. Tu descendencia tomará las ciudades de sus enemigos. 18 Por medio de tu descendencia recibirán bendición todas las naciones de la tierra, porque obedeciste mi voz». 19 Abraham volvió con sus siervos, y juntos regresaron a Beerseba. Abraham siguió viviendo allí. 20 Después de estas cosas, Abraham recibió la noticia de que Milca también había tenido hijos de su hermano Nacor: 21 Uz, el mayor; Buz, su hermano; Kemuel, padre de Aram; 22 Quesed, Hazo, Pildas, Jidlaf y Betuel. 23 Betuel fue padre de Rebeca. Estos ocho hijos fueron los que Milca dio a Nacor, hermano de Abraham. 24 Reúma, concubina de Nacor, también tuvo hijos: Teba, Gaham, Tahas y Maaca.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 22:17 Clement of Rome, First Epistle to the Corinthians (Chapters XXVI–XXXIII)

    Nor are his other tribes in small glory, inasmuch as God had promised, "Thy seed shall be as the stars of heaven." All these, therefore, were highly honoured, and made great, not for their own sake, or for their own works, or for the righteousness which they wrought, but through the operation of His will.

    This, I say, is the universal way for the deliverance of believers, concerning which the faithful Abraham received the divine assurance, "In thy seed shall all nations be blessed." He, indeed, was by birth a Chaldæan; but, that he might receive these great promises, and that there might be propagated from him a seed "disposed by angels in the hand …

    And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, and hast not spared thy beloved son for my sake." It is said, "Now I know," that is, Now I have made to be known; for God was not previously ignorant of this.
