Douay Bible - Genesis Chapter 22

Genesis 22:1
After these things, God tempted Abraham, and said to him: Abraham, Abraham. And he answered: Here I am.

Genesis 22:2
He said to him: Take thy only begotten son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and go into the land of vision: and there thou shalt offer him for a holocaust upon one of the mountains which I will show thee.

Genesis 22:3
So Abraham rising up in the night, saddled his ass: and took with him two young men, and Isaac his son: and when he had cut wood for the holocaust he went his way to the place which God had commanded him.

Genesis 22:4
And on the third day, lifting up his eyes, he saw the place afar off.

Genesis 22:5
And he said to his young men: Stay you here with the ass: I and the boy will go with speed as far as yonder, and after we have worshipped, will return to you.

Genesis 22:6
And he took the wood for the holocaust, and laid it upon Isaac his son: and he himself carried in his hands fire and a sword. And as they two went on together,

Genesis 22:7
Isaac said to his father: My father. And he answered: What wilt thou, son? Behold, saith he, fire and wood: where is the victim for the holocaust?

Genesis 22:8
And Abraham said: God will provide himself a victim for an holocaust, my son. So they went on together.

Genesis 22:9
And they came to the place which God had shown him, where he built an altar, and laid the wood in order upon it: and when he had bound Isaac his son, he laid him on the altar upon the pile of wood.

Genesis 22:10
And he put forth his hand and took the sword, to sacrifice his son.

Genesis 22:11
And behold an angel of the Lord from heaven called to him, saying: Abraham, Abraham. And he answered: Here I am.

Genesis 22:12
And he said to him: Lay not thy hand upon the boy, neither do thou any thing to him: now I know that thou fearest God, and hast not spared thy only begotten son for my sake.

Genesis 22:13
Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw behind his back a ram amongst the briers sticking fast by the horns, which he took and offered for a holocaust instead of his son.

Genesis 22:14
And he called the name of that place, The Lord seeth. Whereupon even to this day it is said: In the mountain the Lord will see.

Genesis 22:15
And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven, saying:

Genesis 22:16
By my own self have I sworn, saith the Lord: because thou hast done this thing, and hast not spared thy only begotten son for my sake:

Genesis 22:17
I will bless thee, and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is by the seashore: thy seed shall possess the gates of their enemies.

Genesis 22:18
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voice.

Genesis 22:19
Abraham returned to his young men, and they went to Bersabee together, and he dwelt there.

Genesis 22:20
After these things, it was told Abraham that Melcha also had borne children to Nachor his brother.

Genesis 22:21
Hus the firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Camuel the father of the Syrians,

Genesis 22:22
And Cased, and Azau, and Pheldas, and Jedlaph,

Genesis 22:23
And Bathuel, of whom was born Rebecca: These eight did Melcha bear to Nachor Abraham’s brother.

And his concubine, named Roma, bore Tabee, and Gaham, and Tahas, and Maacha.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe...
