Because those from Canaan had been banned

He went to a land but stopped at a well

Because he had a thirst he could not quell

He sat for a while, hoping for aid

When along came Rivka, a fair young maid

She saw the man, tired and frail

And began to fill water into the pail

She gave him to drink but would not stop there

She turned to the camels to also give them care

Eliezer was shocked and looked to the sky

For he knew as Yitzchak’s wife, Rivka would qualify

To sacrifice his son,

It was what had to be done.

He was going to follow through because in G-d he believed, 
But G-d said “wait! Don’t sacrifice him please!”

So he sacrificed a ram and all was great,
Except Sarah died of shock, what a terrible fate! 

Was where Avraham was called to prove his dedication to G-d.

He split the wood to prepare the sacrifice,

And there he was told that Yitzchak would suffice.

He presented his son as the sacrificial lamb,

And lifted his arm, knife in hand.

Then appeared a messenger from heaven,

And told him, ‘Avraham, put down your weapon’.

Sarah struggled with infertility

But with her acceptance of god’s plan, having children was still a possibility. 

She prayed to god every day

hoping that He would send a baby her way.

Avraham always stuck by her side

even through Sarah’s request from God was denied.

Sarah realizes there may be another unpleasant solution

But making Hagar a surrogate mother Avraham will bring his contribution (to the world).

God finally answered Sarah’s request 

which the news was brought to them by their guest.

She gave birth to a boy

which brought Avraham and Sarah love and joy.

Eliezer was send to find Yitchack a wife,

A kind women to complete his life,

When he appeared at the well, 

Dying of thirst oh farewell,

Then Rifka appears, 

He knew she would stay for years,

Back to her house they both go, 

Asking permission they need to know,

Sadly, Betuel her dad, died,

Therefore the whole family cried
