Another reason for the need of the word לאמור to appear in the verse under discussion: We have a tradition that every word in the Torah preceded the historical events described in the Torah, so much so that they were recorded even before the universe had been created. We must therefore fall back on the statement of the Kabbalists that, essentially, the written Torah is nothing but a record of the various names of the Creator. The letters in His names have been written in a manner that conceals, so that it required “dressing up” before being released into our “lower” universe, as otherwise we would have been completely stymied in our efforts to unravel the Torah’s meaning. Only a very few people have been privileged to understand the words of the Torah as they are presented to us on a level that transcends their superficial meaning, the peshat.

We are to examine this text in order to discover hidden meanings

Behold, Itzchak is [the symbol of] the characteristic of Gevurah, and was more successful than Avraham [the symbol of compassion] and this is understood from what is written above, that this is the root of judgments, and through the fact that they bring the judgments to their source, [the judgments] are cancelled. [And this is] As we say, the judgments are only sweetened at their root, specifically. ...
