Abimelech asked Abraham, “What is the meaning of these ¹  seven ewe lambs that you have set apart?”

On the third day Abraham caught sight of ¹  the place in the distance.

“God will provide ¹  for himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son,” Abraham replied. The two of them continued on together.

Then Abraham reached out his hand, took the knife, and prepared to slaughter ¹  his son.
