Chamishi

  • Avraham was 100 years old at the time of birth.
  • When Yitzchak was weaned at 24 months, Avraham and Sarah made a big feast.

 

  1. Yishmael and Hagar are expelled from the home:
  • Yishmael was mischievous and performed dangerous and forbidden activity.
  • Sarah asked Avraham to expel Yishmael and his mother from the home, and remove him from being his heir. Avraham was very distressed over this request. Hashem reassures Avraham to listen to the request of his wife, and that his son Yishmael will be looked after. Yishmael will become a great nation with many descendants.
  • Angel saves Yishmael: That morning Avraham sent off Yishmael and his mother with some bread and a flask of water. The water was quickly finished, and a sick Yishmael was placed under a bush, by his mother Hagar, who went to the side and cried in prayer. Hashem heard their prayers and sent an angel to help them. Suddenly, a well appeared, from which Hagar gave Yishmael to drink.
  • They lived in the desert of Paran, and Hashem was with the lad. Yishmael became an archer. His mother Hagar married him off to a girl from Egypt.
