Génesis 22:15 Cábala: Sha'arei Orah

Now, you might object and say that we indeed find prophecies transmitted through an angel. For example, about Avraham it states,¹⁴²Genesis 22:11 “An angel of HaShem-יהו״ה called to him from the heavens.” We likewise find in the prophecy of Zachariah,¹⁴³Zachariah 4:5 “The angel who spoke to me answered etc.,” seeming to indicate that the prophecy was through the medium of an angel. However, let not your spirit be perturbed by these verses and others like them, for you have yet to hear the words of the Living God about these matters. Nonetheless, in all the many other verses about the prophets [in which an angel is not mentioned], let not your mind deceive you, for in truth, all prophecy is solely from the Name HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He. To clarify, our sages, of blessed memory, stated in Vayikra Rabbah,¹⁴⁴Midrash Vayikra Rabba 1:9 “The verse [about Moshe] states,¹⁴⁵Leviticus 1:1 ‘He called to Moshe,’ unlike Avraham, about whom it states,¹⁴⁶Genesis 22:15 ‘The angel of HaShem-יהו״ה called to Avraham a second time from the heavens.’ That is, [with Avraham], it was the angel who called him, but it was HaShem-יהו"ה who spoke to him, whereas here, [with Moshe], it was the Holy One, blessed is He, Himself who called, as if saying, ‘I am the One who calls, and I am the One who speaks.’”
