The Sacrifice of Isaac

1 After these things ^vGod ^wtested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, ^x“Here I am.”

4 ^yThen the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I am about to rain ^zbread from heaven for you, and the people shall go out and gather ^aa day’s portion every day, that I may ^btest them, whether they will walk in my law or not.

2 And you shall remember the whole way that the Lord your God has led you ^pthese forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, ^qtesting you to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not.

3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams. For the Lord your God is ^atesting you, to know whether you ^blove the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

22 in order to ^htest Israel by them, whether they will take care to walk in the way of the Lord as their fathers did, or not.”
