And Izhak said, It is right that I should inherit what is the father's, because I am the son of Sarah his wife, and thou art the son of Hagar the handmaid of my mother. Ishmael answered and said, I am more righteous than thou, because I was circumcised at thirteen years; and if it had been my will to hinder, they should not have delivered me to be circumcised; but thou wast circumcised a child eight days; if thou hadst had knowledge, perhaps they could not have delivered thee to be circumcised. Izhak responded and said, Behold now, today I am thirty and six years old; and if the Holy One, blessed be He, were to require all my members, I would not delay. These words were heard before the Lord of the world, and the Word of the Lord at once tried Abraham, and said to him, Abraham! And he said, Behold me.

וַאֲמַר דְבַר כְּדוֹן יַת בְּרָךְ יַת יְחִידָךְ דְאַתְּ רָחֵם יַת יִצְחָק וְאִיזֵל לָךְ לְאַרַע פּוּלְחָנָא וְאַסֵיקוֹהִי תַּמָן לְעַלָתָא עַל חַד מִן טַוְרַיָא דְאֵימַר לָךְ And He said, Take now thy son, thy only one whom thou lovest, Izhak, and go into the land of worship, and offer him there, a whole burnt offering, upon one of the mountains that I will tell thee.

וְאַקְדֵים אַבְרָהָם בְּצַפְרָא וְזָרֵיז יַת חַמְרֵיהּ וּדְבַר יַת תְּרֵין טַלְיוֹ עִמֵיהּ יַת אֱלִיעֶזֶר וְיַת יִשְׁמָעֵאל וְיַת יִצְחָק בְּרֵיהּ וְקָטַע קֵיסִין דַקִיתָא וּתְאֵנָתָא וְדִיקְלָא דְחַזְיַין לְעָלָתָא וְקָם וְאָזַל לְאַתְרָא דְאָמַר לֵיהּ יְיָ And Abraham rose up in the morning and saddled his ass, and took two young men with him, Eliezer and Ishmael, and Izhak his son, and cut the small wood and the figs and the palm, which are provided for the whole burnt offering, and arose and went to the land of which the Lord had told him.

בְּיוֹמָא תְּלִיתָאָה וּזְקַף אַבְרָהָם יַת עֵינוֹי וַחֲמָא עֲנַן אֲיַקְרָא קָטַר עַל טַוְורָא וְאִשְׁתְּמוֹדָעֵיהּ מִן רָחִיק On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and beheld the cloud of glory fuming on the mount, and it was discerned by him afar off.

וַאֲמַר אַבְרָהָם לְעוּלֵימוֹי אוֹרִיכוּ לְכוֹן הָכָא עִם חַמְרָא וַאֲנָא וְעוּלֵימָא נִתְמְטֵי עַד כָּא לִבְּחוּנֵי אִין יִתְקַיֵים מַה דְאִתְבַּשְרִית כְּדֵין יְהוֹן בְּנָךְ וְנִסְגוֹד לְמָרֵי עַלְמָא וְנָתוּב לְוַתְכוֹן And Abraham said to his young men, Wait you here with the ass, and I and the young man will proceed yonder, to prove if that which was promised shall be established:--So shall be thy sons:--and we will worship the Lord of the world, and return to you.

וּנְסֵיב אַבְרָהָם יַת קִיסֵי דְעָלָתָא וְשַׁוִי עִילוֹ יִצְחָק בְּרֵיהּ וּנְסִיב בִּידֵיהּ יַת אֵישָׁתָא וְיַת סַכִּינָא וְאָזָלוּ תַּרְוֵויהוֹם כַּחֲדָא And Abraham took the wood of the offering and laid it upon Izhak his son, and in his hand he took the fire and the knife; and they went both of them together.

וַאֲמַר יִצְחָק לְאַבְרָהָם אָבוֹי וַאֲמַר אַבָּא וַאֲמַר הָא נָא וְאָמַר אֶשְׁתָּא וְקִיסִין וְהָאן אִמְרָא לְעָלָתָא And Izhak spake to Abraham his father and said, My Father! And he said, I am. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: where is the lamb for the offering?

וַאֲמַר אַבְרָהָם יְיָ יִבְחַר לֵיהּ אִמְרָא לְעָלָתָא וַאֲזָלוּ תַּרְוֵיהוֹן בְּלֵב שְׁלִים כַּחֲדָא And Abraham said, The Lord will choose for Himself a lamb for the offering. And they went both of them in heart entirely as one.

וְאָתוּ לְאַתְרָא דְאָמַר לֵיהּ יְיָ וּבְנָא תַמָן אַבְרָהָם יַת מַדְבְּחָא דִבְנָא אָדָם וְאִיתְפְּכַר בְּמוֹי דְטוּבְעָנָא וְתַב נח וּבַנְיֵיה וְאִתְפְּכַר בְּדָרָא דְפַלְגוּתָא וְסָדַר עִילוֹי יַת קִיסַיָא וְכָפַת יַת יִצְחָק בְּרֵיה וְשַׁוֵי יָתֵיהּ עַל מַדְבְּחָא לְעֵיל מִן קִיסִין And they came to the place of which the Lord had told him. And Abraham builded there the altar which Adam had built, which had been destroyed by the waters of the deluge, which Noah has again builded, and which had been destroyed in the age of divisions; and he set the wood in order upon it, and bound Izhak his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.

וְאוֹשִׁיט אַבְרָהָם יַת יְדֵיה וּנְסֵיב יַת סַכִּינָא לְמֵיכַס יַת בְּרֵיהּ עָנֵי וַאֲמַר יִצְחָק לְאָבוֹי כְּפוֹת יָתִי יָאוֹת דְלָא אֲפַרְכֵיס מִן צַעֲרָא דְנַפְשִׁי וְנִדְחֵי לְגוֹבָא דְחַבְּלָא וְיִשְׁתַּכַּח פְּסוּלָא בְּקָרְבָּנָךְ עֵינוֹי דְאַבְרָהָם מִסְתַּכְּלָן בְּעֵינוֹי דְיִצְחָק וְעֵינוֹי דְיִצְחָק מִסְתַּכְּלַן לְמַלְאֲכֵי מְרוֹמָא יִצְחָק הֲוָה חָמֵי יַתְהוֹם וְאַבְרָהָם לָא חָמֵי יַתְהוֹם עָנְיַן מַלְאֲכֵי מְרוֹמָא אִיתוּן חָמוּן כְּדֵין יְחִידָאִין דְאִית בְּעַלְמָא חַד נְכַס וְחַד מִתְנְכֵס דְנָכַס לָא מְעַכֵּיב וּדְמִתְנְכֵיס פָּשִׁיט צַוְורֵהּ And Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. And Izhak answered and said to his father, Bind me properly (aright), lest I tremble from the affliction of my soul, and be cast into the pit of destruction, and there be found profaneness in thy offering. (Now) the eyes of Abraham looked on the eyes of Izhak; but the eyes of Izhak looked towards the angels on high, (and) Izhak beheld them, but Abraham saw them not. And the angels answered on high, Come, behold how these solitary ones who are in the world kill the one the other; he who slayeth delays not; he who is to be slain reacheth forth his neck.

וּקְרָא לֵיהּ מַלְאָכָא דַיְיָ מִן שְׁמַיָא וַאֲמַר לֵיהּ אַבְרָהָם אַבְרָהָם וַאֲמַר הָא נָא And the Angel of the Lord called to him from the heavens, and said to him, Abraham! Abraham! And he said, Behold me.

וַאֲמַר אַל תּוֹשִׁיט יְדָךְ לְטַלְיָא וְלָא תַעֲבֵּיד לֵיהּ מִדַעַם בִּישׁ אֲרוּם כְּדוֹן גְלֵי קֳדָמַי אֲרוּם דַחֲלָא דַיְיָ אַנְתְּ וְלָא עֲכִּבְתָּא יַת בְּרָךְ יַת יְחִידָךְ מֶנִי And He said, Stretch not out thy hand upon the young man, neither do him any evil; for now it is manifest before Me that thou fearest the Lord; neither hast thou withheld thy son the only begotten from Me.

וּזְקִף אַבְרָהָם יַת עֵינוֹי וַחֲזָא וְהָא דִכְרָא חַד דְאִתְבְּרֵי בֵּנֵי שַׁמְשְׁתָא דְשִׁכְלוּל עַלְמָא אָחִיד בַּחֲרִישׁוּתָא דְאִילָנָא בְּקַרְנוֹי וְאָזֵל אַבְרָהָם וּנְסֵיב יָתֵיהּ וְאַסֵיקְהִי לְעָלָתָא חֲלַף בְּרֵיהּ And Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw, and, behold, a certain ram which had been created between the evenings of the foundation of the world, was held in the entanglement of a tree by his horns. And Abraham went and took him, and offered him an offering instead of his son.

וְאוֹדִי וְצַלִי אַבְרָהָם תַּמָן בְּאַתְרָא הַהוּא וְאָמַר בְּבָעוּ בְּרַחֲמִין מִן קֳדָמָךְ יְיָ גְלֵי קָדָמָךְ דְלָא הֲוָה בִּלְבָבִי עוּמְקָא וּפָנִיתִי לְמֶעֱבַד גִזְרָתָךְ בְּחֶדְוָא כְּדֵין כַּד יְהוֹן בְּנוֹי דְיִצְחָק בְּרִי עַלְיַין לְשַׁעַת אֲנִיקֵי תֶהֱוֵי מִידְכַּר לְהוֹם וְעָנֵי יַתְהוֹם וּפָרִיק יַתְהוֹם וַעֲתִידִין אִינוּן כָּל דָרַיָא קַיְימִין לְמֶהֱוֵי אָמְרִין בְּטַוְורָא הָדֵין כָּפַת אַבְרָהָם יַת יִצְחָק בְּרֵיהּ וְתַמָן אִתְגַלְיַת עִילוֹי שְׁכִינְתָּא דַיְיָ And Abraham gave thanks and prayed there, in that place, and said, I pray through the mercies that are before Thee, O Lord, before whom it is manifest that it was not in the depth of my heart to turn away from doing Thy decree with joy, that when the children of Izhak my son shall offer in the hour of affliction, this may be a memorial for them; and Thou mayest hear them and deliver them, and that all generations to come may say, In this mountain Abraham bound Izhak his son, and there the Shekina of the Lord was revealed unto him.

וּקְרָא מַלְאָכָא דַיְיָ לְאַבְרָהָם תִּנְיָינוּת מִן שְׁמַיָא And the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham the second time from the heavens,

וְאָמַר בְּמֵימְרִי קַיֵימִית אָמַר יְיָ חוֹלַף דְעָבַדְתְּ יַת פִּתְגָמָא הָדֵין וְלָא מָנַעְתְּ יַת בְּרָךְ יַת יְחִידָךְ and said, By My Word have I sworn, saith the Lord, forasmuch as thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thy only begotten,

אֲרוּם בְּרָכָא אֵיבָרְכִינָךְ וְאַסְגָא אַסְגֵי יַת בְּנָךְ כְּכוֹכְבֵי שְׁמַיָא וִיהֵי כְּחָלָא דְעַל כֵּיף יַמָא וְיֵירְתוּן בְּנָךְ יַת קִרְוֵי קוּמִי סַנְאֵיהוֹן that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy sons as the stars of the heavens, and they shall be as the sand which is upon the shore of the sea, and thy sons shall inherit the cities before their enemies.

וְיִתְבָּרְכוּן בְּגִין זַכְוַות בְּנָךְ כָּל עַמְמֵי אַרְעָא חוֹלַף דְקַבֵּלְתָּא בְּמֵימְרִי And all the peoples of the earth shall be blessed through the righteousness of thy son, because thou hast obeyed My word.

וּדְבָרוּ מַלְאֲכֵי מְרוֹמָא יַת יִצְחָק וְאוֹבִלוֹהִי לְבֵי מֶדְרָשָׁא דְשֵׁם רַבָּא וַהֲוָה תַּמָן תְּלַת שְׁנִין וּבְהַהוּא יוֹמָא תַב אַבְרָהָם לְוַת עוּלֵמוֹי וְקָמוּ וַאֲזָלוּ כַּחֲדָא לְבֵירָא דְשָׁבַע וְיָתֵיב אַבְרָהָם בְּבֵירָא דְשָׁבַע And the angels on high took Izhak and brought him into the school (medresha) of Shem the Great; and he was there three years. And in the same day Abraham returned to his young men; and they arose and went together to the Well of the Seven, and Abraham dwelt at Beira-desheva.

וַהֲוָה בָּתַר פִּתְגָמַיָא הָאִילֵין מִן בָּתַר דְכָפַת אַבְרָהָם יַת יִצְחָק וַאֲזַל סִטְנָא וְתַנִי לְוַת שָרָה דְאַבְרָהָם נְכַס יַת יִצְחָק וְקָמַת שָרָה וּפַגְנַת וְאַשְׁתַּנְקַת וּמִיתַת מִן אֲנִיקָא וְאָתָא אַבְרָהָם וּבַת בְּאָרְחָא וְתַנְיָא לְאַבְרָהָם לְמֵימַר הָא יְלִידַת מִלְכָּה אוּף הִיא אִתְרְוָוחַת בִּזְכוּת דְאַחְתָהּ לְמֵילַד בְּנִין לְנָחוֹר אָחוּךְ And it was after these things, after Abraham had bound Izhak, that Satana came and told unto Sarah that Abraham had killed Izhak. And Sarah arose, and cried out, and was strangled, and died from agony. But Abraham had come, and was resting in the way. And it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcha also hath borne; she hath enlargement, through the righteousness of her sister, for bring forth sons unto Nachor thy brother:

יַת עוּץ בּוּכְרֵיהּ וְיַת בּוּז אָחוֹי וְיַת קְמוּאֵל רַב קְסוּמַיָא דְאַרְמָאֵי Uts, his firstborn, and Booz, his brother, and Kemuel, master of the Aramean magicians, and

וְיַת כֶּשֶד וְיַת חֲזוֹ וְיַת פִּלְדָשׁ וְיַת יִדְלָף וְיַת בְּתוּאֵל Keshed, and Chazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.

וּבְתוּאֵל אוֹלִיד יַת רִבְקָה תְּמַנְיָא אִלֵין יְלִידַת מִלְכָּה לְנָחוֹר אָחוֹי דְאַבְרָהָם And Bethuel begat Rivekeh. These eight bare Milcha to Nacor the brother of Abraham.

וּפִלַקְתֵּיהּ וּשְׁמָהּ רְאוּמָה וִילֵידַת אוּף הִיא יַת טֶבַח וְיַת גַחַם וְיַת תַּחַשׁ וְיַת מַעֲכָה And his concubine, whose name was Rëuma, she also bare Tebach, and Gacham, and Tachash, and Maacha.
