Isaiah 51:1 Hearken to Me, ye that follow after righteousness, Ye that seek the LORD; Look unto the rock (Abraham) whence ye were hewn, And to the hole (Sarah) of the pit whence ye were digged. Abraham was the foundation from which the foundation of others would added into the community of faith. you were dug: Heb. נֻקַּרְתֶּם, an expression similar to (Ex. 33.22) “The cleft (נִקְרַת) of the rock” ; (Prov. 30:17) “The ravens of the brook shall pick it (יִקְּרוּהָ).” And who is the rock? He is Abraham your forefather. And who is the hole? She is Sarah who bore you. [תְּחוֹלֶלְכֶם means] ‘who bore you,’ an expression similar to (infra 66:8) “For Zion experienced pangs (חָלָה) and also bore.” ref Rashi
