Kabbalah zu Bereschit 22:9
וַיָּבֹ֗אוּ אֶֽל־הַמָּקוֹם֮ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אָֽמַר־ל֣וֹ הָאֱלֹהִים֒ וַיִּ֨בֶן שָׁ֤ם אַבְרָהָם֙ אֶת־הַמִּזְבֵּ֔חַ וַֽיַּעֲרֹ֖ךְ אֶת־הָעֵצִ֑ים וַֽיַּעֲקֹד֙ אֶת־יִצְחָ֣ק בְּנ֔וֹ וַיָּ֤שֶׂם אֹתוֹ֙ עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּ֔חַ מִמַּ֖עַל לָעֵצִֽים׃
Sie kamen an den Ort, den ihm Gott gesagt hatte. Dort baute Abraham einen Altar, schichtete das Holz auf, band seinen Sohn Isaak und legte ihn auf den Altar über das Holz.
Zohar
And on that day Yitzchak crowned himself and he is the head of the Patriarchs. About that day it is written "In Tzion the sinners feared" (Isaiah 33:14). On that day Yitzchak bounded himself up, and everything was bound up, and Sarah wailed [diff. version: broke down], and the voice of the shofar was very strong. Happy is the lot of the one who passes through them and is saved from them. Rabbi Aba said: because of this we read the parashah of the Binding of Yitzchak on this day, because on this day Yitzchak bound himself up with the lower, and [so] connected/knotted himself with the One Above [diff. version: with Avraham]. When did he bound himself up?At the time when it is written "and he bound his son Yitzchak up" (Genesis 22:9).
