- Continued from prior post...
-
- V.13 the L-RD/HaShem. i.e. the chief angel (Sh). {well...not too much
- question here as to Rashbam counts this as, of course, he is not taking
- a direct relationship here between the Angel and HaShem, right?!...}
- But let's look at the passage itself....vaiyomer HA-SHEM el-Avraham,
- Now this is quite clear who is speaking here folks, and in light of the
- above commentary and the various Rabbinic quotations on this passage
- following, it is very plain to see. "And HaShem said unto Avraham:
- Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying: Shall {...} V.14 Is any thing too
- hard for HaShem?" [please look at the word construct closely here, to
- continue...}
-
- [BTW...notice also in commentary on verse 15. Sforno states...Avraham
- knew that G-D'S rebuke was well founded and could therefore deny her
- statement. (S). {But remember, the rebuke was from the angel?!}].
-
- V.16 the men rose up. Two of them went on to Sodom, but the Chief
- remained with Abraham to inform him of Sodom's destruction. In the
- conversation that follows it is he who spoke (Sh; [...] {Now here we
- have Rashbam clearly stating who is speaking, even though he [Sh]
- does'nt agree that it is HaShem, look at how this Angel speaks...
-
- Again the Angel speaks in V.17 as... And the L-RD/HaShem said...
- Again the Angel speaks in V.20 as... And the L-RD/HaShem said...
- Still speaking in verse 21., ...I will go down now, and see whether
- they have [...], which is come unto Me {CAPPED in the Chumash}; [now,
- the two are just leaving, prior to this they had been looking out
- toward Sodom and listening to the Angel Who speaks as HaShem] 22.
- And the men turned from thence, and went toward Sodom; but Avraham
- stood yet before HaShem, [already identified in Rashbam's commentary
- as here being the Angel who remained] {At this point please note,
- Avraham talks directly to the angel, asking HIM to spare Sodom, now...
- all through the verses 23-25 the discussion continues with Him, all
- referrances to the One addressed in the passage by Avraham CAPPED btw,
- then we come to 25b...that be far from Thee; shall not the Judge of all
- the earth do justly? [still addressed directly to the Angel] {the Angel
- replies} 26. And HaShem said: [...] then I will forgive... [NOTE:
- Avraham's reply to the Angel...] 27. And Avraham answered and said:
- 'Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the L-RD, who am but
- dust and ashes..., and continues to address the Angel as Ad*nai till
- verse 33, which ends it with ...v'ai'aelek HaShem> And HaShem went His
- way, as soon as He had left off speaking to Avraham; and Avraham
- returned unto his place.
- Well folks if you don't see how we get this interpetation by this time!
-
- ...this also ties in with the prior discussion on the Tzimtzim, the
- Memra, the Angel of HaShem, the Metatron, etc...
-
- ... 012 Sh'ma Yisrael: HaShem - El*hienu - HaShem ECHAD! ... 210
