PARASHAT HASHAVOUA: P' Lekh Lekha (C'R' Elnatan Elchanan NAMAHDI)

Avraham was “sick” because he hadn’t reached the level of 50 — the level of Binah. 50 = Shaarei Binah / 50 Gates of Understanding.Sickness comes when a person hasn’t reached 50. Lech Lecha gives Avraham the two 50s = 100 = complete strength/koach to make the union.Reference :1. TanachBereishit 12:1 – Lech Lecha me’artzecha…Vayikra 16:6 – V’chiper ba’ado u’be’ad beito – basis for “his house = his wife”2. Yoma 2a, 13a – Kohen Gadol must be married: “Beito zu ishto”3. Ari HaKadosh / Etz Chaim – Avraham = Hesed of Z”A; no zivug between Z”A and Nukva before Avraham4. Ben Ish Chai, Ben Yehoyada on Lech Lecha – the four worlds hint in the verse.
