Hello my dear fellow classmates,
So this week we learned about the promise that Hashem made to Avraham.
He did this Brit with Avraham because he wanted to reassure and encourage him that he will keep his promise that he made to Avraham. Firstly, he promised him the Aretz(Land) and that he will have it as well as his children will inherit it. In addition, he promised that his descendants(not some servants or relatives) will be from his seed! However. he does point out that his children will be slaves in the foreign land of Egypt for 400 years. My question is the following: remember how we learned how when God wanted to destroy Sdom and Amorah god begged him to spare them? remember how Rachel cried for her children when they were exiled to Bavel? Why did Avraham not even weep or beg Hashem for mercy in order to spare his children from suhc a hardship?!? did he not care?
