2791. Verse 5 And Abraham said to his servants, Remain here with the ass, and I and the boy will go over there, and we will bow ourselves down, and return to you.
'Abraham said to his servants, Remain here with the ass' means a separation at that point of the first rational together with the natural. 'And I and the boy will go over there' means the Divine Rational in a state of truth, equipped for the severest and inmost conflicts brought about by temptations, 'the boy' being the Divine Rational in that particular state. 'And we will how ourselves down' means submissiveness. 'And return to you' means conjunction after that.
