Pensamento Judaico sobre Gênesis 24:62

"Abraham returned to his servants, they arose, and walked together to Be'er Sheva..." (Gen. 22:19)  Where did Isaac go? He went to Be'er Lachai Ro'i, as it says "Isaac had just come back from the vicinity of Beer-lahai-roi, for he was settled in the region of the Negeb." (Gen.24:62)  Isaac went and fled fraught about his father, his mother, and his God.  How did it happen that he was bound, that they saw fit to do it, and why do it to him.  He went to the wilderness, to a place where no man passed or dwelled.  They said, "no man," but a woman did pass there, and it was Hagar - Be'er Lachai Ro'i (the well of life's shepherd) is Hagar's well.  Isaac stood at the well until he remembered Ishmael who had played with him when he was a baby.  He remembered Hagar who had walked away with a jug of water on her shoulder.  Isaac sat there with Hagar and Ishmael, cried with and shared anger with them for many days.  One day, he stood at the well opening and behold, the living God saw him, the living God heard his voice in the moment, and Isaac was comforted.  He arose, took Hagar, and brought her back to his father, as it says, "Abraham too another wife, and her name was Keturah." (Genesis 25:1) Keturah is Hagar whose cries rose like the smoke (ketoret) on the altar. He also arose and took Ishmael and returned him to his father, as it says, "His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him" (Gen. 25:9) "He shall reconcile parents with children and children with their parents" (Malachi 3:24). Afterwards, Isaac returned to that welland settled there, as it says "After the death of Abraham, God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac settled near Beer-lahai-roi."(Genesis 25:11)  This is why it is said about him that he re-dug old wells and brought out of them living water.
