3 Felkele azért Ábrahámreggel, és megnyergelé az õ szamarát, és maga mellé vevé két szolgáját, és az õ fiát Izsákot, és fát hasogatott az égõ áldozathoz. Akkor felkele és elindula a helyre, melyet néki az Isten mondott vala.

2789. And Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw. That this signifies thought and mental view from the Divine, is evident from the signification of the “eyes,” as being intelligence (see n. 2701); hence to “lift up the eyes” denotes to elevate the intelligence, thus to think; and from the signification of “seeing,” as being to view from the Divine, because it is predicated of the Lord.
