When this man lived in Gerar, his neighbors became worried of his power and exiled him, self-injuriously filling in the wells this man had dug, but those people later signed a treaty inviting this man back to the land.
When this man lived in Gerar, his neighbors became worried of his power and exiled him, self-injuriously filling in the wells this man had dug, but those people later signed a treaty inviting this man back to the land. At some point after making that agreement with Abimelech, this man lost his sight, which one tradition says was because the tears of angels fell on his eyes during a traumatic event earlier in this man's life, the akedah. This loss of sight lead to him being tricked by his wife into performing an action that resulted in his younger son's exile to a farm run by this man's brother-in- law, (*) Laban. He received his name, which means "laughter," due to the reaction of his mother when she was told she would bear a child, though she was past childbearing age, and that woman's death is attributed by scholars to receipt of the news of what had happened with her husband and this man atop Mount Moriah. FTP, name this man, the story of whose binding is told in the book of Genesis, the son of Abraham.
