Why Abraham Lost Five Years So He Would Not See Esau's Wickedness

"A hundred years and seventy years and five years." And he resembled one who was seventy years old. And why did the Holy One reduce five years from him? Corresponding to the five transgressions that Esau committed: he stole, and he came upon a betrothed maiden, and he killed a person, and he denied the fundamental principle, and he despised the birthright. The Holy One, blessed be He, said: I said to him, "You shall be buried at a good old age" — therefore He reduced from him the years of his life, so that he should not see his wickedness.
