8354. 'And Jehovah showed him [some] wood' means that the Lord installed good. This is clear from the meaning of 'showing' - when done by 'Jehovah', that is, the Lord - as imparting perception, which because it takes place through influx means installing it; and from the meaning of 'wood' as good, dealt with in 643, 2784, 2812, 3720.
