...fruitful. "

Come, let us leave these ruins...

...and go from here

into the mountains.

In all things...

...we must obey Him.

Then on the third day...

...Abraham lift up his eyes

and saw the place, afar off.

The wood.

The fire.

The knife.

But where is the ram

for the sacrifice?

Father!

My son!

There is nothing

He may not ask of thee?

Nothing.

Abraham!

Abraham!

Here am I.

Lay not thy hand upon the lad...

...for now I know

that thou fearest God...

...seeing that thou

hadst not withheld thy son...

...thy only son, from me.

There is the ram for the sacrifice.

Behold, I have tried thee

like metal in a furnace.

I have chosen thee

in the furnace of affliction.

Now will I multiply thy seed

as the stars of the heaven...

...and as the sand which is

by the seashore, innumerable.
