🎬 Our father Abraham wins a war against four kings — and then sits down afraid. Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto, shlit’a, opens the words “after these things” and shows what Abraham saw that everyone else missed: a miracle is not free.
Our Sages teach that when a miracle is done for a person, Heaven draws on his merits. Abraham had just spent his — like a man who empties his whole bank account to buy the house he dreamed of. That was the fear. And G-d’s answer was not “don’t worry”; it was “your reward is very great,” because he had brought people closer to faith. Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto, shlit’a, points out that wherever the Torah says “very,” it means very and more and more — a reward with no beginning and no end.
Then Abraham says: what will You give me? I remain childless. G-d takes him outside. Abraham knew the stars; the stars said he would have no child. Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto, shlit’a, calls the next sentence the first foundation of the people of Israel: a Jew is above the mazal. A person who lives with simple faith in G-d can watch everyone else’s means fall while his own rise; Heaven may have written otherwise, and he is lifted above it. This is the Shield of Abraham we ask for every single day.
