("At the time when Abraham was walking in Aram-Naharaim and in Aram-Nahor, he saw them eating and drinking and carousing. He said: Would that I have no share in this land. And when he reached the Ladder of Tyre, he saw them engaged in weeding at the time of weeding and in hoeing at the time of hoeing. He said: Would that my portion be in this land." The Holy One, blessed be He, said to him: "To your seed I will give this land" - Genesis Rabbah (Vilna), Parashat Lech Lecha, section 39)
