Genesis 22:7
"And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and
he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood:
but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? 8) And Abraham said, My son,
God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both
of them together."
