Hashem Appeared to Avrohom: Healing and Humility

Hashem appeared to him by the plains of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance of the tent in the heat of the day. (18:1)

Immediately when Hashem was visible to Avrohom Avienu he was cured from his illness. As it says, Be’or Pinei Melech Chaim - in the light of the King’s appearance is life. (Mishlei 16:15).

וירא אליו - לבקר את החולה (To Visit the Ill)

And Hashem appeared unto him; to visit the ill: Rashi

Come and see the humbleness of Avrohom Avienu, that he attributed the appearance of The Shechinoh to the fact that it is the will of Hashem Yisborach to visit the ill, but not in his esteem.

Hashem came to see how Avrohom Avienu is Mikabel yissurim bi’ahavoh - accepts pain with love to Hashem.
