2806. Verse 8 And Abraham said, God will see for Himself to the animal for a burnt offering, my son. And the two of them went on together.

'Abraham said, God will see for Himself to the animal for a burnt offering, my son' means the reply: The Divine Human will provide those who are to be sanctified. 'And the two of them went on together' means a still closer union, the closest that was now possible.
