Genesis 22:12

God Tests Abraham

¹¹ But the voice of the angel of the Lord came from heaven, saying, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. ¹² And he said, Let not your hand be stretched out against the boy to do anything to him; for now I am certain that the fear of God is in your heart, because you have not kept back your son, your only son, from me. ¹³ And lifting up his eyes, Abraham saw a sheep fixed by its horns in the brushwood: and Abraham took the sheep and made a burned offering of it in place of his son.
