Lech Lecha - Paving Paths for our Children

Why does Hashem instruct Avraham Avinu to 'pave a path for his children?' How does this give a different twist to the idea of 'maaseh avos siman l'banim' - the events of the forebears are symbolic of what the children are to go through? Why do all of these parallels between the events of Avraham's life and the lives of the people of Israel all focus on the descent to Egypt, and ultimately the redemption from Egypt? How does Avraham teach the people of Israel if he is only a memory from the past? How can we teach our children by switching to being an example as opposed to instructing directly?
