Комментарий о цитате к Тегилим 136:7

And he was sitting at the entrance of the tent in the heat of the day. This verse teaches that from two aspects Abraham was worthy of seeing the Divine Presence. The first is that he sat at the entrance of the tent to see if guests would come, and through the merit of charity a person merits to see the Divine Presence, as it is said As for me, through righteousness I shall behold Your face (Psalms 17:15). This explains the use of the letter kaf in kechom hayom [like the heat of the day] — for it should have said bechom hayom [in the heat of the day]. Rather, he acted like the heat of the sun which waits to do righteousness, as it is said sun of righteousness with healing in its wings (Malachi 3:20). For through God’s kindness the sun shines, as it is written To Him Who makes the great lights, for His kindness endures forever (Psalms 136:7). The second aspect is that he sat in the heat of the day seeking the healing sun with its wings; therefore it was fitting that God’s glory would be revealed to him to visit the sick.
