Arcana Coelestia # 8354
8354. And Jehovah showed him a piece of wood. That this signifies that the Lord inspired good, is evident from the signification of “showing,” when by Jehovah, that is, the Lord, as being to give perception, and as this is effected by means of influx, it denotes to inspire; and from the signification of “wood,” as being good (n. 643, 2784, 2812, 3720).
Arcana Coelestia # 2812
2812. And he laid the wood in order. That this signifies the righteousness which was adjoined to it, is evident from the signification of the “wood of a burnt-offering,” as being the merit of righteousness (see above, n. 2784, 2798); and from the signification of “laying the wood in order upon the altar,” as being to adjoin that righteousness to the Human Divine. The merit of righteousness is adjoined when it is there, and when there is confidence from truth that it belongs to Him.
