2797. Verse 6 And Abraham took the pieces of wood for the burnt offering and laid them on Isaac his son; and he took in his hand the fire and the knife, and the two of them went on together.

'Abraham took the pieces of wood for the burnt offering' means the merit of righteousness. 'And laid them on Isaac his son' means that it was joined to the Divine Rational. 'And he took in his hand the fire and the knife' means the good of love and the truth of faith. 'And the two of them went on together' means the closest possible union then [of the Divine itself and the Divine Rational].

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.
