וְאֶֽעֶשְׂךָ֙ לְג֣וֹי גָּד֔וֹל וַאֲבָ֣רֶכְךָ֔ וַאֲגַדְּלָ֖ה שְׁמֶ֑ךָ וֶהְיֵ֖ה בְּרָכָֽה׃

Shaarei Orah

And since YHV"H, Blessed, showers all types of flow and emanation in the name Adona"y and in it there are all the treasuries of the King and every type of His riches, and to it they will enter, they will assemble and they will hide, and from there they will extend to fill the needs of every creature, and it is a resemblance of a pool that a river continues into, and from the pool there is enough water to satisfy the watering of the garden and drinking and all the rest of the needs, we name in the Torah the name Adona"y as a nickname of blessing, because the word blessing (brachah ברכה) comes from the word pool (berichah בריכה). And this is the name with which our father Ya'akov, peace be upon him, blessed his sons, [the name which] he inherited from Yitzchak our father, and Yitzchak from Avraham. And Hashem, Blessed, passed this name to Avraham our father, peace be upon him, to open the gates of Adona"y and to give all that he and the rest of the children of the world need, and He passed to his hand this blessing ברכ"ה. And this is the secret of "And I will bless you and make your name great and you, be a blessing." (Genesis 12:2); and He did not say "and you will be blessed", rather, "you, be a blessing," because behold the blessing is given in your hand, get according to your desire for all the children of the world, and this is "and through you all the families of the land will be blessed" (Genesis 12:3). That is to say, whoever wants to take whatever it is from this blessing only takes from your hand, since it is handed over to you and it is yours. And therefore our sages of blessed memory said that the first one to call Y"Y, Blessed, Adona"y, was Avraham our father, peace be upon him, when he said: "Adona"y YHV"H what will You give me" (Genesis 15:2) because from it he asked his needs to the Great Name. And after Avraham, Yitzchak inherited it, and here it is: "And it was, after the death of Avraham, E-lohim blessed Yitzchak his son" (Genesis 35:11). And it was over this blessing that Esav and Yaakov fought among themselves, and this is the blessing of the firstborn [בכורה] that Esav sold Yaakov, and Yitzchak reviewed and maintained the transaction when he sent him to Padan-Aram, and here it is: "Get up, go towards Padan-Aram, and E-l Shadda"y will bless you and will give you the blessing of Avraham, to you and to your seed with you" (Genesis 28:2). Behold this blessing became one with the inheritance, [given] only to Yaakov and his seed, when he said: "to you and your seed with you." And therefore when Yaakov was about to separate from this world, he opened this blessing for the 12 tribes, so that each tribe would get its part of this blessing as inheritance, and this is the secret of "All these are the tribes of Israel, 12 in number, and this is what their father said to them and he blessed them, each according to his blessing he blessed them" (Genesis 49:28). What is "each according to his blessing"? Lest you say that he blessed each according to his [Ya'akov's] own ideas!? It is not so, rather, for each and every tribe he gave the appropriate portion from this pool, and it was not from his own awareness, rather from the awareness of the blessing itself. And Moshe our teacher, pbu"h, blessed Israel before they entered the land from this blessing, and this is the secret of "This is the blessing with which Moses, the man of God, blessed the children of Israel before he died" (Deuteronomy 33:1). And it is found that the name Adona"y is the secret of this blessing, and this is the blessing that enriches those who cling to it without sadness/toil or worry, and this is the secret of "the blessing of Y"Y enriches, and he will not add sadness to it" (Proverbs 10:22). And since the name Adona"y is a resemblance of a treasury to receive the flow of all the blessings and all types of emanation, and it is a resemblance of a pool and a receptacle, therefore it comes from the expression of the sockets [adney] of the enclosure, through which the posts enter (see Exodus 27: 10 and Exodus 38:31). And you find that 100 sockets were made for the Mishkan. as it is written "100 sockets to the 100 talents, a talent a socket" (Exodus 38:27). And these 100 sockets/adney that were in the Mishkan are the resemblance of the 100 pools that are filled from the Great Pool that is called Adona"y. Therefore a person is obligated to bless 100 blessings every day (Menachot 43b) in order to continue from each and every one, and because 100 blessings ברכות come from the name Adona"y from those בריכות pools and if one of those blessings are missing, the person injures and blemishes [oneself]. And the secret is dependent on the secret 1-10-100/2-20-200 [אי"ק בכ"ר a subtype of a gematria called atbash], which is the secret of kohen-levi-israel (added on the Ramat Hasefer edition: Israel gives 10 - ma'aser - to the Levi, who gives 1 to the Kohen - trumat hama'aser; so Israel is 100, Levi 10 and Kohen 1), which is the secret nefesh-ruach-neshamah. And according to this principle David said: "Bless, o my soul, Y"Y" (Psalms 103:1). He hung the blessings on the soul in the secret of the three Upper Arrangements, and the soul needs to bless 100 blessings , which corresponds to Israel, and from that 10, which are the tithe, to ruach which corresponds to Levi, and from the ten of ruach, Levi gives one to neshamah, which corresponds to Kohen. And so you have found that if the soul of a person does not bless 100 blessings every day, a blessing does not reach neshamah, since 10 do not make it to Ruach, which is the secret of Levi'im, which take ma'aser from Israel, and in turn give one to the Kohen from the ten that they took, and this is the secret of the portion of the tithes of Levites and Kohanim that is written in the Torah, and therefore it says: "and to the Levites you will say: 'When you receive from the Israelites their tithes, which I have assigned to you as your share, you shall set aside from them one-tenth of the tithe as a gift to Y"Y'" (Numbers 18:26). And the secret of one tenth of the tithe is the secret of אי"ק 1-10-100, if there is no 100, there is no 10 and there is no 1. And therefore a person needs to be quick to bless 100 blessings, and one that is lacking makes a defect. And those 100 blessings are the resemblance of the 100 sockets of silver through which the flow of Adona"y spreads to all sides, to 100 pools (blessings on the Ramat HaSefer edition).

Zohar

It is written "Dominion and dread are His; He makes peace in His heights" (Job 25:2) - this verse was raised by the group of friends. But "dominion" is Avraham, as it is written about him "you are the elect of E-lohim among us" (Genesis 23:6) and also "I will bless you and I will make your name great" (Genesis 12:2). "Dread" is Itzchak, as it is written "the dread of Itzchak was with me" (Genesis 31:42). "Makes peace in His heights" - this is Yaakov, as it is written "You gave truth to Yaakov" (Micah 7:20) and also "love truth and peace" (Zecharia 8:19) - truth and peace are tied to one another. And so he is the most complete of all.

Shaarei Orah

And this is the secret: "And E-lohim tested Avraham" (Gen. 22:1) that the name E-lohim gave its banner [nes] in the hand of Avraham whose aspect is E-l. And this is the secret of "and he took in his hand the fire and the knife" (Genesis 22:6): if Avraham had not taken in his hand the strengths of Yitzchak, which are the fire and the knife, the whole creation would not have been able to stand in front of 'the fear of Yitzchak'. And this is the secret of 'and abundant in mercy' (Exodus 34:6 and Numbers 14:18) of the aspect of Avraham, that diminished the aspect 'fear of Yitzchak' and took in his hand the fire and the knife. And this is why the aspect of Avraham is called Gedulah, because it is greater than Gevurah, and this is the secret that He said to Avraham "I will make your name great" (Genesis 12:2) and this is the secret of "because a great E-l is YHV"H and king over all E-lohim" (Psalms 95:3) - and therefore the banner of Yitzchak does not get out until the banner of Avraham has finished teaching all the merit. And this is the secret of "and Y"Y went, after He finished speaking with Avraham, and Avraham returned to his place" (Genesis 18:33) - and what is written after? "And it was, when E-lohim destroyed the two cities of the plain" (Genesis 19:29). Even though E-lohim destroyed, when He remembered Avraham, who is the secret of the aspect E-l, He saved Lot, and this is what is written: "And it was that, when E-lohim destroyed the cities of the Plain, E-lohim remembered Avraham and sent Lot away from the midst of the upheaval" - truly from the middle of the upheaval He saved him. And the reason [is] because Avraham took in his hand the fire and the knife, and therefore Avraham saved many times [other people] even though the end of the judgment was death, because this is the secret of "abundant in mercy", and this is the secret of "compassionate and gracious" of the aspects called as "Avraham". And after Avraham took with His permission the fire and the knife, which are the weapons of war of Yitzchak, who is the aspect of E-lohim, the banner of E-lohim does not come out to complete the punishment until Avraham has finished teaching/exposing the merit of the one being judged. And when he does not find merit, the aspect of Avraham joins [into the aspect of E-lohim/Yitzchak] and then E-lohim, which is the aspect of Yitzchak, completes the punishment and the judgment, as it says "and Avraham returned to his place," and after this "And it was that, when E-lohim destroyed the cities of the Plain". And you should know that, once Avraham took the fire and the knife, E-lohim cannot act of punish until Avraham agrees with the judgment. And this is the secret of "And Avraham took the fire and the knife and the two of them walked together". "And the two of them walked together", obviously, since the aspect of Yitzchak cannot walk without the permission of the aspect of Avraham, and its command and its agreement. And this is the secret of "God of Avraham, God of Yitzchak AND God of Ya'akov" (Exodus 3:9) and it is not written AND God of Yitzchak, as it is written "and God of Ya'akov", so that greatness is not divided to the aspect of Yitzchak, and so that the aspect of "Fear of Isaac" is always under "Kindness of Avraham." And this is the secret of "and the two of them walked together", that the aspect of Yitzchak does not have permission to walk unless the aspect of Avraham has exposed the merit, because otherwise the aspect of Yitzchak would destroy the world, and this is the secret of 'And E-lohim tested Avraham." And you should know that Avraham bound Yitzchak up so that the aspect of Yitzchak would be tied up by its hands and feet, and would be conquered, under the aspect of Avraham.
