Rabbi Johanan interpreted the words "And Isaac entreated (, "vaye'tar") the Lord" in to mean that Isaac poured out petitions in abundance (as in Aramaic, , "'tar", means "wealth"). The Midrash taught that the words "for (, "lenokhach") his wife" taught that Isaac prostrated himself in one spot and Rebekah in another (opposite him), and he prayed to God that all the children whom God would grant him would come from this righteous woman, and Rebekah prayed likewise. Reading the words, "Because she was barren," in Rabbi Judan said in the name of Resh Lakish that Rebekah lacked an ovary, whereupon God fashioned one for her. And reading the words, "And the Lord let Himself be entreated (, "vayei'ater") of him," in Rabbi Levi compared this to the son of a king who was digging through to his father to receive a pound of gold from him, and thus the king dug from inside while his son dug from outside.
