I mean think about it. Hashem said, "Lech-lecha, me'artzecha, u'mimoledetecha, u'mibes avicha." And Rashi says Hashem is promising Avraham, "You're going to become a great nation. You're going to become famous. You're going to have children. You're going to become wealthy." >> [cough] [clears throat] >> How many of those things came true when he got to Eretz Yisrael? Nothing. He had no money cuz Rashi even says, "On the way back he had to go pay all his debts." So he gets there, he's in debt. He has no children. And nobody cares who he is. So nothing came true. Something good came out of this, but Avraham Avinu was thinking, "Gam zu letovah." But I wonder if Avraham Avinu even knew what that tovah ever was. Because it dawned on me that actually him going down to Mitzrayim is the best thing that ever happened in the history of the world. How's that?
