Genesis 22:11-12

11 But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said,"Abraham, Abraham !" And he said,"Here I am."
12 He said,"Do not stretch out your hand against the lad,and do nothing to him;for now I know that you fear God,since you have not withheld your son,your only son,from Me."
