Genesis 22:9-11

The Voice

⁹ When they finally arrived at the place God had shown him, Abraham took some stones and built an altar there and arranged the wood carefully on top of it. Then he bound up his son Isaac with rope and laid him on the altar on top of the stack of wood. ¹⁰ Just as Abraham reached over to grab the knife that would kill his son, ¹¹ the special messenger of the Eternal One called his name from heaven.
