Genesis 22:1

And it came to pass after this, that God tested Abraham, and said unto him, "Abraham," and he said, "Here I am."
[Here I am (Hebr. hineni) is an expression that does not primarily refer to one's physical or geographical location. Instead, it means "I am at your disposal" or "I am ready to take responsibility." Here in Gen. 22:1, the word appears for the first time in the Bible. The word appears three times in this chapter, see verse 7 and 11. Both Abraham and everyone else who gives this answer are examples of people who take on some form of leadership role when they say hineni – here I am. Isaac says it in Gen. 22:7, Jacob in Gen. 31:11, Moses in Ex. 3:4, the prophet Samuel says it in 1 Sam. 3:4, the prophet Isaiah in Isa. 6:8, and others.]
