Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem ~ Origins
Genesis Chapter 22
1. And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
2. And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
3. And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
4. Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
5. And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
6. And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.
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.
9. And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
10. And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
11. And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
12. And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
13. And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
14. And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
15. And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
16. And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
17. That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
18. And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
19. So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
20. And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;
21. Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
22. And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23. And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
24. And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.

Interesting, this is the first mention Of Nahor, Abraham's brother since leaving his home. Where has he been? Evidently they are not together, as it was told abraham about the children. All for the genaology? No commentary in the Bibles, I have.

Psalm 104 (Young's Literal Translation)
Psalm 104
“ 1Bless, O my soul, Jehovah! Jehovah, my God, Thou hast been very great, Honour and majesty Thou hast put on.
2Covering himself [with] light as a garment, Stretching out the heavens as a curtain,
3Who is laying the beam of His upper chambers in the waters, Who is making thick clouds His chariot, Who is walking on wings of wind,
4Making His messengers — the winds, His ministers — the flaming fire.
5He hath founded earth on its bases, It is not moved to the age and for ever.
6The abyss! as with clothing Thou hast covered it, Above hills do waters stand.
7From Thy rebuke they flee, From the voice of Thy thunder haste away.
8They go up hills — they go down valleys, Unto a place Thou hast founded for them.
9A border Thou hast set, they pass not over, They turn not back to cover the earth.
10Who is sending forth fountains in valleys, Between hills they go on.
11They water every beast of the field, Wild asses break their thirst.
12By them the fowl of the heavens doth dwell, From between the branches They give forth the voice.
13Watering hills from His upper chambers, From the fruit of Thy works is the earth satisfied.
14Causing grass to spring up for cattle, And herb for the service of man, To bring forth bread from the earth,
15And wine — it rejoiceth the heart of man, To cause the face to shine from oil, And bread — the heart of man it supporteth.
16Satisfied [are] the trees of Jehovah, Cedars of Lebanon that He hath planted,
17Where birds do make nests, The stork — the firs [are] her house.
18The high hills [are] for wild goats, Rocks [are] a refuge for conies,
19He made the moon for seasons, The sun hath known his place of entrance.
20Thou settest darkness, and it is night, In it doth every beast of the forest creep.
21The young lions are roaring for prey, And to seek from God their food.
22The sun riseth, they are gathered, And in their dens they crouch.
23Man goeth forth to his work, And to his service — till evening.
24How many have been Thy works, O Jehovah, All of them in wisdom Thou hast made, Full is the earth of thy possessions.
25This, the sea, great and broad of sides, There [are] moving things — innumerable, Living creatures — small with great.
26There do ships go: leviathan, That Thou hast formed to play in it.
27All of them unto Thee do look, To give their food in its season.
28Thou dost give to them — they gather, Thou dost open Thy hand — they [are] satisfied [with] good.
29Thou hidest Thy face — they are troubled, Thou gatherest their spirit — they expire, And unto their dust they turn back.
30Thou sendest out Thy Spirit, they are created, And Thou renewest the face of the ground.
31The honour of Jehovah is to the age, Jehovah rejoiceth in His works,
32Who is looking to earth, and it trembleth, He cometh against hills, and they smoke.
33I sing to Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.
34Sweet is my meditation on Him, I — I do rejoice in Jehovah.
35Consumed are sinners from the earth, And the wicked are no more. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah.
