Again: “Abraham, when he came to the place which God told him of on the third day, looking up, saw the place afar off.”[Genesis 22:3-4] For the first day is that which is constituted by the sight of good things; and the second is the soul’s best desire; on the third, the mind perceives spiritual things, the eyes of the understanding being opened by the Teacher who rose on the third day.
