the additional actions of Abraham.
9 When they arrived at the place that God had told him about, Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood.
He bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar on top of the wood.
10 Then Abraham reached out and took the knife to slaughter his son.
11 But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said,
“Abraham, Abraham!” He replied, “Here I am.”
12 Then he said, “Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him.
For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your only son from me.”
