Question

Isaiah 51 compares this figure to a quarry or a “hole of the pit” from which you were dug. In some congregations, God is called this figure’s “helper” at the end of the Avot v’Imahot prayer. Some commentaries claim that God removed a sound from this figure’s name to no longer signify possession and to instead emphasize belonging to the multitude of nations. While in Egypt, (-5[1])this figure is taken in by Pharaoh after she claims that (*) her husband was her brother. God commands this woman’s husband to obey her, resulting in a mother and child’s expulsion into the desert of Beersheba. When the Blessing for Children is recited for girls, this woman is mentioned first before Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah. For 10 points, name this mother of Isaac and wife of Abraham. (10[1])■END■
