49) It does not say, \u201cAnd Abram went out, as the Lord had spoken to him,\u201d but \u201cWent,\u201d as in \u201cGo forth.\u201d This is so because the exit was already done before, as it is written, \u201cAnd they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees to go into the land of Canaan.\u201d This is why now it writes, \u201cWent out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
50) \u201cAnd Abram went, as the Lord had spoken to him,\u201d as He promised him in all the promises. \u201cAnd Lot went with him,\u201d meaning he connected to him, to learn from his deeds. And yet, he did not learn so much. Happy are the righteous who learn the ways of the Creator to walk in them and to fear that day of judgment when man gives account before the Creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
51) On the day when man\u2019s days to exit the world have come, the body breaks and the soul must depart from it. Then man is given permission to see what he could not see while the body was governing, and he attains the matters truthfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
52) At that time, three messengers stand by him, calculating his days and his sins, and all that he has done in this world. And he confesses to everything, and then signs the account, as it is written, \u201cHe seals up the hand of every man.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
53) They are all signed by his hand, each act and sin, to be judged in this world, for the first and for the last, for new and for old, none forgotten. It is written, \u201cThat all men whom He has made may know it.\u201d This means that as all those deeds that he did in this world were in body and spirit together, and he gives account to them when he is in body and spirit together, before he passes away from this world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
54) As the wicked are stubborn in this world, even when they are about to depart from this world, they are still obstinate. For this reason, happy is a man who learns in this world the ways of the Creator so as to walk by them. And the wicked, though he observes those righteous, he is obstinate and does not wish to learn from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
55) This is why he has a righteous to grip to. And although the wicked is obstinate, he does not leave him. Instead, he should hold him in his hand and not let go of him, for if he lets go of him, he will go and destroy the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
56) Like Elisha, who rejected Gehazi, so was Abraham. As long as Lot was with him, he did not connect with the wicked. When he parted from him, it is written, \u201cAnd Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom. Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against the Lord.\u201d Thus, he bonded with the wicked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
57) It is written, \u201cAnd Abram went as the Lord had spoken to him,\u201d and it is not written, \u201cAnd Abram went out,\u201d since the exit was done before. However, at the end of the verse, it writes, \u201cWhen he departed from Haran.\u201d Was the verse relying on the exit, too, even though he had already gone out? It writes, \u201cWhen he departed from Haran,\u201d but the departure is primarily the exit from his kindred, and this was before, while the exit from Haran came with the words \u201cGo forth,\u201d so it is possible to say here, \u201cWhen he went out of Haran.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
