2823. Verse 12 And he said, Do not put forth your hand towards the boy and do not do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God and have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.

'He said, Do not put forth your hand towards the boy' means that He would not allow the temptation to go any further into Divine truth which belonged to the Rational. 'And do not do anything to him' means release. 'For now I know that you fear God' means glorification from Divine love. 'And have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me' means the union of the Human to the Divine which was effected by means of the final degree of temptation.
