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].
