So the two° of them walked° on together°. 7 Isaac° spoke° to Abraham° his father° and said°, “My father°!” And he said°, “Here° I am, my son°.” And he said°, “Behold°, the fire° and the wood°, but where° is the alamb° for the burnt° offering°?” 8 Abraham° said°, “God° will Iprovide° for Himself the lamb° for the burnt° offering°, my son°.” So the two° of them walked° on together°.
