*1 This explanation is consistent with all three explanations
of Rashi.
-------------------------------------------------------
Abraham was stuck in a personality type where he
couldnt have children. So God showed him the
multiplicity of personality types and told him to
leave his world/personality/surroundings and adopt a
different personality. God also promised Abraham that
his children would also have the capacity to leave change
their personalities when necessary

means TO WATCH. Our translation TO FACE closely
resembles this suggestion.
