Genesis 18:1-22:24
147 verses
“And the Eternal One appeared to him alongside Elon Mamre.”
Genesis 18:1
This passage contains many codes and teachings. Abraham, three days after circumcision, received three angels.
The angels warned of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Sarah, Abraham's wife, gave birth to a son, Isaac, despite her infertility and advanced age.
Abraham took his son Isaac to be sacrificed.
Abraham is linked to the Sephira of Chessed (compassion). Even after circumcision, when he was uncomfortable with pain, he presented himself to visitors, to receive them in his tent.
This lesson is profound:
When we leave our comfort zone, when we approach our fellow beings, to serve the other, we open immense and deep connections with the superior worlds. Thus, we bring blessings upon us and an end to chaos, pain and suffering in the world.
The visitors turned out to be angels, who came to bring good news.
When we want to share what we have, when we cancel our negative side, we are visited by angels, who reveal to us the way forward and connect us with the higher worlds.
Have a great week!
Shavua Tov!
