96) \u201cThe people of the place asked him about his wife, and he said, \u2018She is my sister.\u2019\u201d As Abraham said, \u201cMy sister\u201d about the Shechina because the Shechina was with Isaac and with his wife, Isaac strengthened himself with the Shechina and said, \u201cShe is my sister,\u201d as it is written, \u201cSay unto wisdom: \u2018You are my sister.\u2019\u201d It was befitting for Abraham and Isaac to say, \u201cMy sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled,\u201d since Abraham and Isaac were a chariot for ZA, and for that, the righteous were strengthened in the Creator, for they became a chariot to Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
97) \u201cWhen he had been there a long time, Abimelech, king of the Philistines, looked out the window and saw Isaac laughing with Rebekah his wife.\u201d Et [\u201cof,\u201d exists only in the original Hebrew] implies the Shechina, that she was with Rebecca, since Et is the name of the Shechina. We learned that holy Israel do not have intercourse during the day. Thus, how is it possible that Isaac, who was holy, was having intercourse during the day?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
98) Abimelech was wise and observed in his astrology, which is called \u201ca window,\u201d and he saw there that it was not as Isaac had said, but that he must be sporting with her and she is his wife. Then, as it is written, \u201cAnd Abimelech called Isaac and said, \u2018But she is clearly your wife! Why did you say, \u2018She is my sister\u2019?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Abimelech was worthy of taking his wife, as he did with Abraham, if the Creator had not rebuked him before in the event with Abraham, when He told him, \u201cYou shall die because of the woman.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
99) This is why Isaac said, \u201cShe is my sister,\u201d to cling to the Shechina. Because there was no faith in them, he said, \u201cShe is my sister.\u201d And for this reason, Abraham said, \u201cBecause I thought, surely there is no fear of God in this place.\u201d No fear of God is faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
100) Because the Shechina is not present outside the holy land, \u201cThere is no fear of God in this place.\u201d And Isaac was strengthened by faith, which is the Shechina, since he saw that the Shechina was in his wife.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
