ગુજરાતીઉત્પત્તિ ૨૨:૧૨
દૂતે તેને કહ્યું, “તારા દીકરા પર તારો હાથ ઉગામીશ નહિ અને તેને કશી ઈજા કરીશ નહિ, કેમ કે મને ખાતરી થઈ છે કે તેં તારા એકનાએક દીકરાને, મારાથી પાછો રાખ્યો નથી. તું ઈશ્વરની બીક રાખે છે.”
हिन्दीउत्पत्ति २२:१२
उसने कहा, “उस लड़के पर हाथ मत बढ़ा, और न उसे कुछ कर; क्योंकि तूने जो मुझसे अपने पुत्र, वरन् अपने एकलौते पुत्र को भी, नहीं रख छोड़ा; इससे मैं अब जान गया कि तू परमेश्वर का भय मानता है।”

In context

10Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.

11The LORD’s angel called to him out of the sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”

12He said, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”

13Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.

14Abraham called the name of that place “The LORD Will Provide”. As it is said to this day, “On the LORD’s mountain, it will be provided.”
