Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together.

Echo2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
The condemned bears the wood of his own death — Isaac 'carried the wood for the burnt offering' as Simon carries the cross 'after Jesus.' The Aqedah typology (beloved son, the wood laid on him) is an old figural reading; Luke gives no explicit marker, so it is offered low and contested.
Low confidenceIsaac carrying the wood for his own sacrifice up the mountain is a classic figural antecedent to the cross-bearing; here Simon is compelled to carry it, but the wood-bearing-victim typology stands faintly behind.
Low confidence◇ Figural2
A typological pattern re-read in a later text — no verbal quotation, high figural coherence.
Jesus 'bearing his cross' to the place of execution evokes Isaac carrying the wood of his own sacrifice up the mount. The Aqedah was a live Second-Temple typology; medium volume and good coherence with the lamb/son themes.
Medium confidenceThe compelled bearing of the cross-beam out to the place of execution has been read figurally against Isaac, who 'carried the wood of the burnt offering... laid it on Isaac his son,' as the son bears the wood of his own sacrifice. The connection is typological and unmarked in Mark, resting on the Aqedah's availability as a beloved-son-to-sacrifice pattern.
