2787. Verse 4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from afar off.

'On the third day' means that which has been completed, and the beginning of sanctification. 'And Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw' means thought and insight received from the Divine. 'The place from afar off' means into the state which He foresaw.
