The Magid’s rebbetzin had to immerse herself in the Mikva, but she did not have any money. When she went to the bathhouse attendant [at the Mikva] he did not want to heat the Mikva for her.
She sat outside and cried her heart out.
Suddenly a carriage with four women rode past. When they saw her sitting and crying, they asked her: “Why are you crying?” So she related her misery.
They quickly invited her on the carriage and took her with them to the bathhouse.
When the Magid found out about this, he said: “These were the Four Matriarchs.” Afterwards, the Malach was born.
