Kabbalah zu Bereschit 17:1
וַיְהִ֣י אַבְרָ֔ם בֶּן־תִּשְׁעִ֥ים שָׁנָ֖ה וְתֵ֣שַׁע שָׁנִ֑ים וַיֵּרָ֨א יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־אַבְרָ֗ם וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֵלָיו֙ אֲנִי־אֵ֣ל שַׁדַּ֔י הִתְהַלֵּ֥ךְ לְפָנַ֖י וֶהְיֵ֥ה תָמִֽים׃
Als Abram neunundneunzig Jahre alt war erschien ihm der Ewige und sprach zu ihm: Ich bin Gott, der Allmächtige, wandle vor mir und werde vollkommen!
Zohar
The second precept is that the precept of fear is strongly attached to and never disconnected from the precept of love. A person should love his Master wholly. And what is perfect love? It is great love, as it is written, "walk before Me and be perfect" (Gen. 17:1). Meaning, to be whole with love. Thus it is written, "And Elohim said, Let there be light" (Gen. 1:3). This perfect love is called great love. And here it appears as a precept, that a person should love his Master properly.
