This is a central theme in the life stories of our patriarchs and especially in that of Abraham.” sheep’God did not guide Abraham. He bewildered him; He com- pletely mystified and confounded him. He told him to move on, to go forth “to the land which I will show you.” Is the land to be found in the east or the west? No hint was disclosed to Abraham. God willed Abraham to guess, to find out intuitively, to somehow smell the fragrance of the land, to feel the pull that the land exerts, to be attracted by the land spontaneously, s0 that the heart was Abraham's compass or lodestar. If Abraham had been mistaken in his adventurous selection of the land, ‘everything would have been lost; Abraham would not have been the charismatic chosen leader and patriarch.
