1And Yitsḥaq said to me, I will do all that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 has commanded you, my father, with joy in my heart that I am chosen to represent the Bĕn of Elohim in this sacrifice, and I have this hope in me, that if we are faithful to all the Commandments of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 our Elohim, I shall yet stand in the flesh with you and my mother before the throne of the Ancient of Days and receive from Him the promise of exaltation and eternal lives.
2 When I heard this answer, I rejoiced in my son Yitsḥaq whose heart was pure and upright before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
3 But the Ruaḥ of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 constrained me to test him further, and I said to him, Have you any thoughts or feelings which would prevent your being offered as a perfect sacrifice before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄?
4 For if you do in any way doubt the efficacy of this sacrifice, which is in the similitude of the sacrifice of the Only Begotten of the Father which is full of grace and truth, it is not meet that you should be offered as a sacrifice before our Elohim.
5 But Yitsḥaq answered me saying, O my father, as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 lives and as you live as a qodesh man of Elohim, I know that you are a servant of the Most High Elohim and that you do hold the keys of the fathers.
6 You have never asked me to do anything which was not of Elohim but you have taught me by precept and example to serve 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim in every act of my life.
7 Shall I then shrink from being offered by you as a sacrifice to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim?
8 No, but I shall rejoice forever to have been so honored.
9 Baruḵ is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 you Elohim who has this day chosen me to be sacrificed as a burnt offering before Him.
