Parashat Vayeira

The 3 Guests

Hashem appeared to Avrahom on the third day following his bris,[1] to fulfill the custom of visiting the sick[1] and inquired about his welfare.[1]

[1] It was a very hot day since Hashem took the sun out of its sheath to avoid troubling[1] Avrahom with his constant campaign of servicing guests[1] by keeping all travelers at home due to the intense heat. Avrahom was sitting at the entrance of his tent, gazing for passerby who could be invited to his home,[1] which was located in the plains of Mamre, who merited Hashem's revelation on his property[1] because he advised Avrahom to proceed with the bris. When Hashem came to him, Avraham wanted to stand up but Hashem told him to remain sitting as He stood. This was a harbinger for the future where Hashem stands in Beis Din as the judges sit.[1]


When Hahsem saw how troubled Avraham was that no guests were coming, He brought him angels appearing as men.[1]
