“Now Abraham was old; and advanced in age: and the Lord had blessed him in all things.”
On this verse:
“ברך את אברהם בכל [THE LORD HAD] BLESSED ABRAHAM IN ALL THINGS — The numerical value of the word בכל is equal to that of בן (a son) — suggesting that God had blessed Abraham with a son and since he had a son he had to find him a wife.”
