RAV KOOK ON Vayeira Part 2: The Journey to Mount Moriah
“On the third day Abraham lifted his eyes, and saw the place from afar.” (Gen. 22:4) For three days Abraham traveled, following God’s command, towards Mount Moriah. What happened during this long journey, the prelude to the Akeidah? What was Abraham — a loving father, soon to offer up his only son to God — thinking about? What were his feelings and emotions? In general, the Torah’s style is terse. The text focuses on actions, rarely describing inner thoughts and emotions. Still, a careful reading reveals much about how Abraham undertook this trial.
