9 ηλθον επι τον τοπον ον ειπεν αυτω ο θεος και ωκοδομησεν εκει αβρααμ θυσιαστηριον και επεθηκεν τα ξυλα και συμποδισας ισαακ τον υιον αυτου επεθηκεν αυτον επι το θυσιαστηριον επανω των ξυλων

2773. 'Your only one, whom you love' means the 'only one' in the entire universe by which He was to save the human race. This is clear from the meaning of 'only' as the only one, indeed the only one in the entire universe, for the subject is the Lord who alone as to His whole Human became God, that is, became Divine.
