Metzora: Chapter 16

"Two young deers"

Synopsis

Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Yosi hear a voice coming from a cave that speaks about two young deers and says they are the holy camp that Jacob met on his way. The voice then says that those two were Abraham and Isaac. Rabbi Elazar sees his father's image, and it says that the voice is a mouth which speaks great things. Rabbi Shimon also says that the souls of the righteous, who are holy angels, come to the righteous to save them. Although Isaac was alive when he was about to be sacrificed on the altar, his soul was taken to the Throne of God, after which time his eyes were dim.
