how come HaShem tells Yitzhak to no go to Miztrayim according to Ramban
MAH HAKESHER
when he goes to eretz plishtim - foreshadow to Galus Bavel
principle: in order to defeat our enemies in times of Tanach we have to be equal and opp
ex:
galus bavel - intellect
plishtim - mockers
what does rashi have to say on the plishtim
since two nations were together to make the plishtim
they have no brit milah and they are mamzerim - don’t know who their father is
whats the connection between avrham and yitzhak and plishtim and bavel
avrham digs three wells and covers them bc he’s gonna have a good time with HaShem (guests)
Yitzhak = intellectual = bvel and builds 6 wells
have to work hard to serve HaShem - initially threw out yitzhak then discovered his truth and went to get close to them
best way to respond to plishtim = intellect
response to Bavel = intellect
The kesher is in our response to them - intellect and hard work
RaShi: Why did HaShem tell Yitzhak not to go down
since Yitzhak is a pure offering - going out of EY is not good for him
how does Ramban explain the imp of Yitzhak going down to Plishtim
Yitzhak went down to plishtim - they were first nice to him then turned their back on him - same in bevel (first mean, nice, then disgraced HaShem)
why did avimelech suspect that rivka is not yitzhaks sister
confused why yitzhak came down without his wife and since its been a long time - why is he not married
avimelech looked out his window and saw what was going on
why did avimelech drive yitzhak away
was jealous that yitzhak had more riches than him
