Kommentar zu Bereschit 17:22

מעל אברהם [GOD WENT UP] FROM ABRAHAM — This is a more fitting expression to use of God, and we learn from it that the righteous are the Chariot of the Omnipresent God (Genesis Rabbah 47:6).

AND G-D WENT UP FROM ABRAHAM. This is an expression of respect towards G-d,⁴⁵⁸Since the Shechinah was standing beside Abraham, why then is it written, And He went up, suggesting that G-d had been above him? It is out of respect to G-d that this is so written. (Gur Aryeh.) and we learn from it that the righteous are the Chariot of the Holy One, blessed be He. Thus the language of Rashi. But the saying of the Sages in the Bereshith Rabbah⁴⁵⁹47:8. is: “It is the patriarchs⁴⁶⁰But not the other righteous. that constitute the Chariot.” This is an allusion to that which is written: Thou wilt give truth to Jacob, kindness to Abraham;⁴⁶¹Micah 7:20. And the Fear of Isaac had been on my side.⁴⁶²Further, 31:42. The student learned [in the mysteries of the Torah] will understand.

ויעל אלוקים מעל אברהם, this formulation is juxtaposed with that when G'd terminated his conversation with Kayin where the latter is described as "walking away from G'd." (Genesis 4,16)
