Kabbalah su Esodo 4:22
וְאָמַרְתָּ֖ אֶל־פַּרְעֹ֑ה כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה בְּנִ֥י בְכֹרִ֖י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
E [finalmente] dirai a Faraone: Dice così il Signore: Israel è il mio figlio primogenito.
Or Neerav
[The master of Kabbalah] also possesses a third advantage which is entwined in the two preceding ones. That is, one who serves [God] according to the plain meaning [of the Torah] and is drawn after it alone is classified according to the esoteric significance of the term “servants,” as it is written, For it is to Me that the children of Israel are servants; they are My servants (Lev. 25:55). He who occupies himself with Kabbalah and serves [God] according to the way of Kabbalah in the recondite meaning of the “intention” of the commandments is called “son.” Thus [Scripture] states, You are sons to the Lord your God (Deut. 14:1). There are many similar [verses], such as My firstborn son is Israel (Exod. 4:22). These praises are elaborated upon in the Tikkunim, the Ra’aya Mehemna, and countless times in the pikkudin.

Idra Zuta
Da’at is Zeir Anpin that unites Chochmah and Binah that are Aba and Ima
These father, mother and son are called Chochmah, Binah and Da’at; for when the son, Zeir Anpin, takes the signs of his father and mother – that is, when he receives and incorporates Chochmah and Binah of Aba and Ima into himself - he is called Da’at, which is derived from edut (testimony), which is the testimony of both, as he includes within himself the brains of Aba and of Ima; Da’at reconciles and incorporates Chochmah and Binah. This son, who is Da’at, is called a firstborn son, as written, “Israel is my son, my firstborn” (Shemot 4:22). Zeir Anpin, who is Da’at, is called Israel; it is said of him, “Israel is my son, my firstborn.” And since he is called the firstborn, he receives two portions – a portion from Aba, who is Chochmah, and a portion from Ima, who is Binah. When he grows with his crowns, he receives three portions; they are Chochmah, Binah and Da’at, based on the meaning of, “three coming out of one, one is present in three.” In any case, two portions and three portions are the same; Da’at has no more than the inclusion of Chochmah and Binah in such a way that even Chochmah, Binah and Da’at are no more than two – Chochmah and Binah. Both are the same, since Da’at receives the inheritance of his father and mother and so has but Chochmah and Binah like his father and mother, no more.
