2779. Verse 3 And in the morning Abraham rose up early, and saddled his ass, and took two of his servants with him, and Isaac his son, and split the pieces of wood for the burnt offering, and rose up and went to the place of which God had told him.

'In the morning Abraham rose up early' means a state of peace and innocence. 'And saddled his ass' means the natural man which He prepared. 'And took two servants' means the first rational which He had allied to it. 'And Isaac his son' means the Divine Rational begotten from Himself. 'And split the pieces of wood for the burnt offering' means the merit of righteousness. 'And rose up' means being raised up. 'And went to the place of which God had told him' means the state at that time according to perception.

Morning comes with the rising of the sun, and the sun -- which gives life to the earth with its warmth and light -- represents the Lord in His divinity, bringing spiritual life through love and wisdom. Thus, the morning represents the coming of the Lord into our lives, and all the things that flow from it: the love, joy and enlightenment He brings; the peace and tranquility of passing the spiritual obscurity of night; the anticipation of the learning and usefulness of a new day; and the awareness of The Lord's renewed presence.
