Kommentar zu Bereschit 22:3
וַיַּשְׁכֵּ֨ם אַבְרָהָ֜ם בַּבֹּ֗קֶר וַֽיַּחֲבֹשׁ֙ אֶת־חֲמֹר֔וֹ וַיִּקַּ֞ח אֶת־שְׁנֵ֤י נְעָרָיו֙ אִתּ֔וֹ וְאֵ֖ת יִצְחָ֣ק בְּנ֑וֹ וַיְבַקַּע֙ עֲצֵ֣י עֹלָ֔ה וַיָּ֣קָם וַיֵּ֔לֶךְ אֶל־הַמָּק֖וֹם אֲשֶׁר־אָֽמַר־ל֥וֹ הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃
Da stand Abraham des Morgens früh auf, machte seinen Esel zurecht und nahm seine beiden Diener mit sich und seinen Sohn Isaak; und er spaltete Holz für das Opfer, machte sich auf und ging an den Ort, den ihm Gott gesagt hatte.

Ramban on Genesis
AND HE CLEAVED THE WOOD FOR THE BURNT-OFFERING. This illustrates Abraham’s zeal in performing a commandment for he thought that perhaps there would be no wood in that place, and so he carried it for three days. It may be that Abraham disqualified for use as an offering any wood in which a worm is found, as is the law of the Torah,381Midoth 2:5. and so he took from his house sound wood for the burnt-offering. Hence it says, And he cleaved the wood for the burnt-offering.
