Midrash sobre Génesis 5:8

What is written before this passage (Gen. 25:1)? (Gen. 24:62:) NOW ISAAC HAD COME BY WAY OF BEER-LAHAI-ROI.³⁶See Tanh., Gen. 5:8; cf. Gen. R. 60:14; 61:4. And afterwards < it is written > (in Gen. 25:1): THEN ABRAHAM TOOK A WIFE AGAIN.³⁷This translation of the verse, which is somewhat more literal than the usual English renderings, suggests how Rabbi could interpret it to mean that Abraham had remarried Hagar. It is simply that when Isaac took Rebekah, Isaac said: Let us go and bring a wife to my father. Hagar and Keturah are the same person < according to > the words of Rabbi, but our masters say he took another wife. What is the logic of Rabbi? Hagar and Keturah are the same person because it is written (in Gen. 24:62): NOW ISAAC HAD COME BY WAY OF BEER-LAHAI-ROI. < Here is a reference to > the same woman about whom it is written (in Gen. 16:14): THEREFORE THE WELL WAS CALLED BEER-LAHAI-ROI.³⁸The context suggests that Beer-lahai-roi might have been where Hagar had settled.
