And the angel of the Eternal said to her [Hagar], I will multiply thy seed exceedingly
. But he [the angel] has no power to multiply, and he was therefore speaking as G-d’s agent. So also here, he spoke as G-d’s agent.”
Now the Rabbi found it necessary to say so because the Holy One, blessed be He, told Abraham here…
