All of Avraham’s conversations with G-d before the Akedah

G-d makes a lot of promises to Avraham, starting from “Lech Lecha”, when He tells Avraham to leave his home and go to Canaan. One thing you may have not have noticed is that G-d makes some kind of promise to Avraham in (almost) every single conversation they have.

There is exactly one exception to this rule. You can take a guess, or go to my sourcesheet at Sefaria.org.il.
