From The Rebbe’s Father זצ״ל
Vayeira
And through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.
עקב אשר שמעת בקולי*
22:18
In Parshas Toldos it also mentions
עקב אשר שמע אברהם בקולי*
26:5
The Talmud states (Nidorim 32a)
AVROHOM recognized his Creator at the age of three years
, as it is stated: “Because [ekev] AVROHOM hearkened to My voice” (Genesis 26:5). The numerical of the letters of the word עקב is 172, indicating that he observed the halakha for this many years.
If AVROHOM lived until 175 then his first recognition of the Creator must have been at the age of three.
Connecting the עקב of Parshas וירא to the עקב of Parshas תולדות.
