[Avodah] akeidah

I note that Artscroll translates "naar" as a young lad

<<Then you want to look at Ber. 22:19 where it says, right after the
akeida, "....vayelchu yachdav el Be'er Shava vayeshev Avraham biVe'er
Shava."  On the words "Veyeshev beVe'ere Shava" Rashi says, "Lo
yeshiva mamash, sheharei beChevron hayah yoshev" -- When it says, "He
lived in Be'er Sheva" Rashi says "Not actual living" -- i.e., he just
stayed there for a while, maybe only a day or two -- "because he was
living in Chevron at the time."   Rashi here again repeats that
Avraham was living in Chevron at this time and had moved from Be'er
Sheva to Chevron already twelve years previously.>>

I agree that is what Rashi says. The point is that it doesn'f fit into
the pasuk that Avraham went to
Beer Sheva and settled there that it means he went for a day or two.
Beer Sheva is not on the way from Jerusalem to Hevron.
As pointed out Ibn Ezra and Rabman disagree with Rashi
