Lech Lecha 5779
1. 16:2 How do we understand Sara(i)’s statement that if Hagar has a child, it is as if she has a child?
2. 15:15 Why is the subject of ברית בין הבתרים “interrupted” with a verse saying that Avra(ha)m can die peacefully?
3. 17:1 This is the only place (I believe) where we find the age of someone at the beginning of a scene. What is so important that we need to be told of Avra(ha)m’s age at this juncture? Especially as the age is repeated at the end when he performs ברית מילה
4. Why is Sara admonished for her reaction to the news that she will bear a child whereas Avraham, who reacts similarly, is not?
