Komentaryo sa Genesis 22:4: Rashi, Chizkuni, Ramban & Ibn Ezra

ביום השלישי ON THE THIRD DAY — Why did God delay and not show it to him at once? So that people should not say, “He confused and confounded him suddenly and bewildered his mind. If, however, he had had time for consideration, he would not have obeyed” (Midrash Tanchuma, Vayera 22).

וישא אברהם את עיניו, “Avraham raised his eyes;” The letter ו in the word וישא is superfluous. [I confess that I have not understood this. Ed.]

AND HE SAW THE PLACE AFAR OFF. He saw a cloud attached to the mountain,³⁸²Bereshith Rabbah 56:2. and through this was fulfilled the Divine assurance, which I will tell thee of.³⁸³Verse 2 here.
It is possible, in line with the simple meaning of Scripture, that the verse, And he saw the place afar off, means that he saw the land of Moriah for he knew that entire land [although he did not know the specific mountain].
