Komentarz do Rodzaju 22:8

יראה לו השה — this means as much as: He will look out for and choose a lamb for Himself, and if there will be no lamb for a burnt offering, then, בני MY SON will be the offering. Although Isaac then understood that he was travelling on to be slain, yet.

ויאמר...אלוקים יראה לו השה לעולה בני, Avraham’s reply to his son is capable of two interpretations. One interpretation would be that the word בני is a response to Yitzchok’s cry or question, meaning “I am here my son; G’d will select the lamb for the burnt offering.” In other words: “don’t worry G’d already knows who is going to be the lamb for the offering. He will put it at our disposal.” The second interpretation of Avraham’s answer would arrange the words as follows: “G’d will select the lamb for the offering; who is the lamb? It is my son.” Yitzchok understood from this that he had been chosen to be the offering. This is why the Torah continues, significantly:

God will see to the lamb for Him (lo): This, "for Him," is superfluous. However no sacrifice can be given in the name of God (Elohim), but rather only in the name of the Lord, as it is found at the end of Menachot. And [the reason] that it is written with the name of God in this section is because the daily burnt-offerings were fixed through this deed, as I wrote on the proximate verse (Haamek Davar on Genesis 22:9). And this is the nature of sustenance in the Land of Israel from when nature was created, as I wrote above 15:7 (Haamek Davar on Genesis 15:7). For this reason the statement was with the name, God (which relates to nature) - as I have written several times. But the essence of the deed is for the name, Lord. And this is the understanding of, "God will see to the lamb for Him" - for the Lord.

Wir haben nichts anderes zu tun, als das Holz, das Feuer und das Messer zu bringen, wir haben uns nur bereit zu stellen zu jeglichem Opfer; was Er sich ersehen wird, was geschehen wird, wird nur geschehen, weil es Gottes Wille ist: wir wollen das Gott überlassen. Und damit hatte ihm Abraham alles gesagt, was er zu wissen hatte, was er zu wissen brauchte. "Wir haben den Altar zu bauen und Gott die Einsicht zu überlassen, sich das Opfer zu wählen, das nach Seiner Einsicht das rechte ist" — und sie gingen beide zusammen. —

God will see to the lamb for Him, my son: Meaning, my son [will be the lamb for the burnt-offering]. He said to him a matter with two meanings. For he said to him, the [other] one according to his understanding - [its] meaning was like one saying, "My son, the Holy One will see to the lamb for Him." But our Rabbis say (Bereishit Rabbah 56:4) that Yitzchak understood, and nevertheless, "the two of them went together" - with the same mind to fulfil the will of the Creator.

יראה לו השה לעולה, “He will select the lamb that should be the one to serve as the burnt offering.” Even though G-d had told him that his descendants would become known through his son Yitzchok (21,12), he was afraid that Ytzchok would be slaughtered. He had said to himself: “perhaps Yitzchok has already been intimate with a woman without my having been aware, and that woman had already given birth to a son or a daughter for him, so that G-d’s promise will be fulfilled even if he dies here.” After all Yitzchok was already 37 years old.

וילכו שניהם יחדיו THEY WENT BOTH OF THEM TOGETHER — with the same ready heart (Genesis Rabbah 56:4).

וילכו שניהם יחד, “they continued walking together,” i.e. of one mind and of one spirit.
