Rescue from Sodom: The Antidote to Yishmael
Chidushei HaRim asks why the angel who came to destroy Sodom visited Avraham first. The Midrash says that there are really 5 exiles, including galut Yishmael and whenever we have 70, there are always two more, representing Esav and Yishmael (or their antidotes). The union of עשו and ישמעאל.
