2771. Verse 2 And He said, Take now your son, your only one, whom you love, Isaac, and get you to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I tell you. 'He said, Take now your son' means the Divine Rational begotten from Him. 'Your only one, whom you love' means the 'only one' in the entire universe by which He was to save the human race. 'Isaac' means the essential nature of that Rational. 'And get you to the land of Moriah' means a place and state of temptation. 'And offer him there as a burnt offering' means that He was to sanctify Himself to the Divine. 'On one of the mountains' means Divine love. 'Of which I tell you' means as He would perceive.
