| GENESIS 22 | GENESIS 22 |
| 1 It came to pass after these things that omnipresent Mind did prove Abraham; when he heard his name called, Abraham, he responded, "Behold, here is the only Ego, the only I-am." | And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.. |
| 2 Then the only I-am revealed to him, "Now sacrifice the offspring of your very selfhood, your son and your only joy, Isaac, whom you love, and get into an high state of Mind to offer there "an offering pure of Love^", upon the oneness of Mind's high estate of which I, the only I-am, will unfold to you." | ..And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. ... |
| 3 Thereupon Abraham rose up early in the enlightenment of divine Mind, in the morning, and prepared for his ascent, bringing two youths along with Isaac his joy, and prepared for the "offering pure of Love^," rising to the heights of Mind as he had been led. | .....And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him. |
| 4 Then of the third day the light of spiritual understanding entered Abraham's thought, and he lifted up his spiritual discernment to see the concept afar off. | .....Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. |
| 5 Commanding the youths to abide with their beast of burden until he returns to them again, Abraham and the lad entered atonement to worship the Almighty. | .....And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you. |
| 6 And Abraham embraced the ways of "an offering pure of Love^," illustrating it to Isaac his son by the purity of his reflected power, and by its justice; and they both aspired to be at-one with the almighty I-am. | .....And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together. |
| 7 But Isaac spoke to Abraham, his Father, saying, "My father"; replying he said, "Here am I, at-one with the almighty I-am, my son," so Isaac asked, "Behold the purity and its means, but where is the symbol of innocence for 'an offering pure of love^?'" | .....And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? |
| 8 Abraham replied, "My son, God will provide a sign of innocence for a pure offering of Love"; so they both joined together, at-one with divine Mind. | .....And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. |
| 9 Then they came to the place about which God had told him; and Abraham built a Jehovistic altar there, animating it while binding holy devotion to Isaac, his son, to lay him above the Jehovistic altar. | .....And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. |
| 10 And taking hold on to the idea of God as the only author of Life, Abraham streched forth his hand^, | .....And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. |
| 11 But the harmonious thoughts of the Lord reached him in concord, calling out, "Abraham, Abraham"; and he replied, "Here am I." | .....And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. |
| 12 Thereupon the Lord revealed by instinct, "Lay not any Jehovistic claims upon the lad, neither do anything to him, for now the almighty I-am has proven that you revere God, the infinite I-am, seeing you have not withheld the offspring of your very selfhood, your only son from me." | .....And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. |
| 13 And as Abraham lifted up his discernment, he beheld behind him a ram caught in a thicket by its horns; so Abraham took the ram to offer him up instead of his son. | .....And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. |
| 14 Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-Jireh, or God will provide; as it is said to this day: in the heights of Mind the providing God will be understood. | .....And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen. |
| 15 From the harmony of Being, the second time the thoughts of the guiding Mind called unto Abraham, | .....And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, |
| 16 Declaring, "By my own selfhood^ I have sworn, as revealed by my Spirit, because of this true devotion of yours, and that you have not withheld the offspring of your very selfhood, your only son, | .....And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: |
| 17 "In blessing I, the all-inclusive I-am, will bless you, and in manifestation of power, I will multiply your offspring as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; your offspring will master any opposing negation; | .....That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; |
| 18 "In your offspring will all the thinking of the sphere of thought be blessed, because you have obeyed the voice of the only Ego, the infinite I-am." | .....And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. |
| 19 So Abraham returned with Lot and his young men, and they all rose up higher in Spirit going together to Beer-Sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-Sheba. | .....So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba. |
| 20 After these things it came to pass that Abraham was told, "Behold, Milcah, she also has had children by your brother Nahor; | .....And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor; |
| 21 "Their firstborn is Huz, and his brothers are Buz and Kemuel, who is the father of Aram, | .....Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram, |
| 22 "And Chesed, Hazo, Pidash, Jidlaph and Bethuel. | .....And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel. |
| 23 "And Bethuel has fathered Rebekah; these eight descendants Milcah had by Nahor, | .....And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother. |
| 24 "And Reumah, his concubine, she also had Tebah, Gaham, Thahash, and Maachah." | .....And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah. |
