She said, "He and his mother have gone to bring fruits and dates from the wilderness." He said, "Give me a little bread and water, for I am weary from the desert journey." She replied, "I have neither bread nor water." He said, "When Ishmael returns, tell him an old man from Canaan came to see you and said, 'Change the threshold of your house, for it is not good for you.'" When Ishmael returned, she told him these words, and a wise son is half wise, so Ishmael understood and sent her away. His mother took a wife for him from her father's house, and her name was Fatima. After three years, Abraham came again to see Ishmael and swore to Sarah as before. He arrived at midday and found Ishmael's wife. He asked her, "Where is Ishmael?" She replied, "He and his mother are grazing the camels in the wilderness." He said, "Give me a little bread and water, for I am weary from the desert journey." She brought it to him. Abraham prayed before the Holy One for his son, and Ishmael's house was filled with all good things. When Ishmael returned, she told him what had happened, and Ishmael knew that his father's mercy was still upon him, as it says, "As a father has compassion on his children" (
1050:. Zunz's claim that the work ends in the middle of a sermon is based on a corrupted edition, printed from a manuscript with a large segment at the end missing. The segment is found in full all other complete manuscripts along with additional sermons. Regarding Zunz's claim about the missing "central themes," Treitl points out that two benedictions are also missing in the middle – the benediction of forgiveness and the benediction of redemption – making it more likely that the author himself did not complete his work. Further evidence is the benediction, "On the righteous converts" and "...who gathers the dispersed of His people Israel," found already in Chapter 10, seems out of context. The benediction should have been placed much later than the last benediction in the work, which suggests that the author planned a longer work and had already prepared this chapter in advance. However, when he could not complete his original plan, he attached the chapter to the most suitable place. Treitl argues that a hint to the claim that the work remained incomplete from its inception can be found in the sermon that concludes the work: 1348:
Shechem son of Hamor do? He brought girls playing outside with tambourines, and Dinah went out to see the daughters of the land playing, and he kidnapped and slept with her, and she conceived and bore Asenath. The Israelites wanted to kill her, saying: Now the whole land will say there is a house of prostitution in Jacob's tents. What did Jacob do? He brought a golden plate with the holy name written on it, hung it around her neck, and sent her away. Everything is revealed before the Holy One, and the angel Michael descended and brought her to Egypt to Potiphar's house, as Asenath was destined for Joseph as a wife. Potiphar's wife was barren and raised her as a daughter. When Joseph came to Egypt, he took her as his wife, as it says, 'And he gave him Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, as a wife' (Genesis 41:45).
1081:. David Luria, who sought to defend the traditional view attributing the work to Eliezer, argued that most of the names appearing as amoraim are actually tannaim with similar names. In his introduction and in numerous places in the body of his commentary, Luria strives to prove and justify the traditional view that sees PRE as a fundamentally tannaitic work. He attributed the work to Eliezer's academy, which operated in the generations following him, and explained the later sages' names as later additions to the work. However, Albeck strongly opposes this. Luria's view is not accepted in scholarly research. Since Leopold Zunz, these attributions are considered pseudepigraphical. For example, in Chapter 43, the midrash extensively discusses the deeds of 913:. The last two chapters (53-54) form a unit dealing with slander, ending with homilies on the denunciation of the Israelites in the story of the bronze serpent and a final discourse that includes the parable of "The Diligent Workers and the Lazy Workers." The work rewrites and expands the books of Genesis and Exodus, sometimes in detail and sometimes briefly. The work does not cover all of Genesis and does not always follow the biblical order. Occasionally, the author arranges his homilies by thematic units and includes sections from the Nevi'im and the Ketuvim. For example, the first twenty chapters are dedicated to homilies on Genesis, and in the middle of chapter 22, he transitions to the 1540:
between different manuscripts led him to speculate that we may have similar but not identical works gathered under the same name. According to Eliezer Treitl's philological research, the main manuscripts of the work—totaling over two dozen—are divided into three textual branches, with additional manuscripts whose connection to the different branches is unclear. Many of the manuscripts have little textual value as they were copied from various printed editions and other manuscripts.

the truth, distance law from Israel, increase sins in Israel, the worm will be as wool, the paper and pen will wither, the kingdom's rock will be rejected, they will rebuild ruined cities, clear roads, plant gardens and orchards, repair breaches in the walls of the Temple, build a structure in the sanctuary, and two brothers will stand over them as leaders in the end, and in their days the sprout of David (the Messiah) will stand.
1054: 1042:). This view of Zunz and Luria that chapters and parts of the original work were lost over the generations, is very common in research. Eliezer Treitl disagrees, arguing that the work as it exists today was completed by the author in this form, and that there were never additional chapters. According to Treitl, a comprehensive examination of all the manuscripts of 1251::8). Beware lest he touches the conduit. Instead, bring the girl into the tent, and examine her virginity with your finger. If she is pure in her virginity, she is yours by divine decree.

of the Universe, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were diligent workers, you gave them their full wage – you gave them from their own. But we are lazy workers, and when you heal us, give us our full wage, and surely everyone will praise you and bless you and say to you: Blessed are you, Lord, who heals the sick of His people Israel.
1460:, which he considered the most puzzling statement in all Jewish literature: "From the light of His garment... From where was the earth created? From the snow beneath His throne of glory." Maimonides struggled philosophically to understand why the author posited that the world was created from a preexisting substance. 740: 928:, the author does not follow the biblical order but prefers to arrange Abraham's history according to the tradition of the "Ten Trials" Abraham underwent. The final chapters of Genesis (Judah and Tamar, Joseph's revelation to his brothers, etc.) are omitted entirely, yet the author extensively incorporates the 802:, where a list of books includes a manuscript in which the midrash begins at Chapter 3. Additionally, in one manuscript, the title of the midrash appears only in Chapter 3. According to this hypothesis, there is no internal evidence in the midrash itself to attribute it specifically to Eliezer, and the name 1564:

Ishmael sent and took a wife from the daughters of Moab, and her name was Ayesha.

He asked her, "Where is Ishmael?"

But the last benediction is "Healer of the Sick," with the other benedictions missing. From this, Zunz hesitantly suggested the hypothesis that the work did not survive. 829:
Rabbi Ishmael says, Fifteen things the children of Ishmael are destined to do in the land at the end of days, and these are they: They will measure the land with ropes, make cemeteries for the resting place of sheep dung, measure in them and from them on the tops of mountains, increase lies, conceal

was chosen to be bound on the altar and not Ishmael, since Ishmael is "the son of the foreskin" (as explicitly stated in Chapter 31), meaning he was born to Abraham while he was still uncircumcised. This interpretation is very unusual and is not found in any Talmudic literature. According to this

The work also identifies names for anonymous biblical characters. For example, it names Abraham's mother as Athray (contrary to the Talmud, which names her Amatlai), Lot's wife as Irit, Lot's daughter as Peletit, and the sages who taught the Samaritans the "laws of the God of the land" as Rabbi
