watertankGen 16.7 And an angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
the first mention of an angel. KJV version says "the angel". who/what is an angel? how it is recognized? the Lord speaks directly to Avram, but uses an angel to communicate to others. need to check.
Gen 16.11 And the angel of the Lord said to her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Yishma'el; because the Lord has heard thy affliction. And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
why the because clause?
