4th Aliyah

וַיִּקְרָא מַלְאַךְ ה' אֶל אַבְרָהָם שֵׁנִית מִן הַשָּׁמָיִם: וַיֹּאמֶר בִּי נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי נְאֻם ה' כִּי יַעַן אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתָ אֶת הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה וְלֹא חָשַׂכְתָּ אֶת בִּנְךָ אֶת יְחִידֶךָ: כִּי בָרֵךְ אֲבָרֶכְךָ וְהַרְבָּה אַרְבֶּה אֶת זַרְעֲךָ כְּכוֹכְבֵי הַשָּׁמַיִם וְכַחוֹל אֲשֶׁר עַל שְׂפַת הַיָּם וְיִרַשׁ זַרְעֲךָ אֵת שַׁעַר אֹיְבָיו: וְהִתְבָּרֲכוּ בְזַרְעֲךָ כֹּל גּוֹיֵי הָאָרֶץ עֵקֶב אֲשֶׁר שָׁמַעְתָּ בְּקֹלִי: וַיָּשָׁב אַבְרָהָם אֶל נְעָרָיו וַיָּקֻמוּ וַיֵּלְכוּ יַחְדָּו אֶל בְּאֵר שָׁבַע וַיֵּשֶׁב אַבְרָהָם בִּבְאֵר שָׁבַע:

And the angel of Hashem called unto Abraham a second time out of Heaven. He said: 'By Myself have I sworn, says Hashem, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son. For I will surely bless you, and multiply your seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the seashore; and your seed shall possess the gate of his enemies. And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because you have hearkened to My voice.' So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Be'er Sheva; and Abraham dwelt at Be'er Sheva.

ETERNAL BLESSINGS

1) וְלֹא חָשַׂכְתָּ אֶת בִּנְךָ (כב:טז) -

This phrase was already stated by the angel (22:12). What new dimension was added in the interim?

1. Mafteach to Bereishis 22:16:0.1:1

2) כִּי בָרֵךְ אֲבָרֶכְךָ, וְהַרְבָּה אַרְבֶּה (כב:יז) -

Why the doubled expression? What was the result of these blessings?

1. Mafteach to Bereishis 22:17:1:1

3) כְּכוֹכְבֵי הַשָּׁמַיִם וְכַחוֹל... -

Hashem already promised Avraham that He would increase his children like the stars of the Heaven (Bereishis 15:5) and the dust of the earth (Bereishis 13:16), so what exactly is He adding here?

1. Mafteach to Bereishis 22:16:1:1

4) וְהִתְבָּרֲכוּ בְזַרְעֲךָ כֹּל גּוֹיֵי הָאָרֶץ (כב:יח) -

How will Avraham's obeying Hashem, serve as a source of blessing for all the nations?

1. Mafteach to Bereishis 22:18:1

2. Mafteach to Bereishis 22:18:2

AVRAHAM RETURNS

5) וַיָּשָׁב אַבְרָהָם אֶל נְעָרָיו (כב:יט) -

But where was Yitzchak?

1. Mafteach to Bereishis 22:19:1

6) וַיָּקֻמוּ וַיֵּלְכוּ יַחְדָּו -

Why is it emphasized that they went together?

1. Mafteach to Bereishis 22:19:151:1

7) אֶל בְּאֵר שָׁבַע -

Why did Avraham go all the way to Be'er Sheva, if he currently resided in Chevron (Rashi to 21:34)?

1. Mafteach to Bereishis 22:19:2:1

2. Mafteach to Bereishis 24:62:1:5:2
