וַיֹּ֥אמֶר אַבְרָהָ֖ם אֶל־הָֽאֱלֹהִ֑ים ל֥וּ יִשְׁמָעֵ֖אל יִחְיֶ֥ה לְפָנֶֽיךָ׃
아브라함이 이에 하나님께 고하되 이스마엘이나 하나님 앞에 살기를 원하나이다
Zohar
“For Abraham knoweth us not”, inasmuch as, though life and death were in his hands, he did not show so much care for us as for Ishmael, on whose behalf he pleaded, “Oh, that Ishmael might live before thee!” (Gen. 17, 18). Further: “Israel doth not acknowledge us”, seeing that he left it to the divine grade to confer on his sons the blessings which he himself ought to have pronounced.
