Shabbat Shiur12:00 pm

in HaSifriyah: :הירפסהThe Jewish Community Library

Now studying Parashat Ha-Shavua, the weekly Torah portion

“ And I will make you swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of 

the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites

among whom I dwell, but will go to the land of my birth and get a wife for my son

Isaac.' ”

WhydidAbrahamsendEliezertondawifeforIsaacamonghisownfamily

rather than among the Canaanites, even though both were idolaters? The reason is

that the Canaanites, in addition to idolatry, were also corrupt morally and sexually, as

we see in the verse You shall not copy the practices... of the land of Canaan to whichI am taking you (Vayikra 18:3). Now, even though Abraham’s family were idolaters,

they were moral people, and that was why he chose them for his son.

(Derashot haRan [Rabbenu Nissim ben Reuven Gerondi])

  TheinuenceofaCanaanitewifeofmysonwouldbeallthegreateras

I dwell among the Canaanites. Not only the wife but her whole family and circle of 

friends and relatives would have to be contended against.

(Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch)
