Firs...Succinct discussion, but there are 2 errors:<br /><br />First, the Matriarchs purposely remained in the background only due to their profound and utmost Tznius. No other reason.<br /><br />Second, Sarah did indeed surpass Avraham, but only in prophecy (and perhaps also household maintenance.)<br />But make no mistake. Sarah was actually also a STUDENT of Avraham. It was only he that, through his own intellect, and starting from scratch, discovered Hashem his creator. And he then taught others, including his "prize pupil" Sarah.

So even him disappeared from the Story after Rebecca's death.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
