| From our Sages on the Parshah |
Because I know [Abraham], that he will command his children and his
household after him that they shall keep the way of G-d, to do charity and
justice (Genesis 18:19)
Said the Divine Attribute of Chessed (love): "As long as Abraham
was around, there was nothing for me to do, for he did my work in my
stead."
(Sefer HaBahir)
For G-d has heard the voice of the lad where he is
(21:17)
The angels hastened to indict [Ishmael], exclaiming: "Sovereign of the
Universe! Would You bring up a well for one who will one day slay Your children
with thirst?" "What is he now," asked G-d "righteous or
wicked?". "Righteous," said the angels. Said G-d: "I judge
man only as he is at the moment."
(Midrash Rabbah)
