Jubilees 18:1-19

¹And God said to him, 'Abraham, Abraham'; and he said, 'Here I am.'

²And he said, 'Take your beloved son whom you love, Isaac, and go to the high country, and offer him on one of the mountains which I will point out to you.'

³And he rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took his two young men with him, and Isaac his son, and split the wood of the burnt offering, and he went to the place on the third day, and he saw the place from afar.

⁴And he came to a well of water, and he said to his young men, 'Stay here with the donkey, and I and the boy will go over there, and when we have worshipped we will come back to you.'

⁵And he took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son, and he took in his hand the fire and the knife, and the two of them went together to that place.

⁶And Isaac said to his father, 'Father'; and he said, 'Here I am, my son.' And he said to him, 'Look, here is the fire, and the knife, and the wood; but where is the sheep for the burnt offering, father?'

⁷And he said, 'God will provide for himself a sheep for a burnt offering, my son.' And he drew near to the place of the mount of God.

⁸And he built an altar, and he placed the wood on the altar, and bound Isaac his son, and placed him on the wood which was upon the altar, and stretched out his hand to take the knife to slay Isaac his son.

⁹And I stood before him, and before the prince Mastema, and the Lord said, 'Tell him not to lay his hand on the boy, nor to do anything to him, for I have shown that he fears the Lord.'

¹⁰And I called to him from heaven, and said to him, 'Abraham, Abraham'; and he was terrified and said, 'Here I am.'

¹¹And I said to him, 'Do not lay your hand upon the boy, nor do anything to him; for now I have shown that you fear the Lord, and have not withheld your son, your firstborn son, from me.'

¹²And the prince Mastema was put to shame; and Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a ram was caught by his horns, and Abraham went and took the ram and offered it for a burnt offering in place of his son.

¹³And Abraham called that place 'The Lord has seen,' so that it is said 'in the mount the Lord has seen': that is Mount Zion.

¹⁴And the Lord called Abraham by his name a second time from heaven, just as he caused us to appear to speak to him in the name of the Lord.

¹⁵And he said: 'By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your beloved son, from Me, that in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which is on the seashore.

¹⁶And in your seed shall all nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice, and I have shown to all that you are faithful to Me in all that I have said to you: Go in peace.'

¹⁷And Abraham went to his young men, and they arose and went together to Beersheba, and Abraham [2010 A.M.] dwelt by the Well of the Oath.

¹⁸And he celebrated this festival every year, seven days with joy, and he called it the festival of the Lord according to the seven days during which he went and returned in peace.

¹⁹And accordingly it has been ordained and written on the heavenly tablets regarding Israel and its seed that they should observe this festival seven days with the joy of festival.
