Context
The Sacrifice of Isaac
22:1 Some time after these things God tested Abraham . He said to him, “Abraham !” “Here I am!” Abraham replied .
22:2 God said , “Take your son – your only son, whom you love , Isaac – and go to the land of Moriah ! Offer him up there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will indicate to you.”
22:3 Early in the morning Abraham got up and saddled his donkey . He took two of his young servants with him, along with his son Isaac . When he had cut the wood for the burnt offering , he started out for the place God had spoken to him about.
22:4 On the third day Abraham caught sight of the place in the distance .
22:5 So he said to his servants , “You two stay here with the donkey while the boy and I go up there . We will worship and then return to you.”
