Kabbalah su Genesi 23:78

REGARDING HUMILITY So great is humility that Avraham, peace be upon him, was praised for it. This is because the people in his generation were great, and they had him as a prince, like Efron the Hitite, and they called him "my lord" etc (Genesis 23:15) and he diminished himself through the characteristic of humility and modesty among them, and even in front of the smallest of them, as it says "and Avraham bowed in front of the [simple] folk of the land" (Genesis 23:12).

The words "be gathered" suggest measurement by the line and the measuring; measuring is from the hard spark that is in Binah, as it is written: "Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand" (Isaiah 40:12). In this verse, "who" alludes to Binah. This is what is meant by: "Let the waters...be gathered." Here in the verse: "Let the waters...be gathered" is the extent of the entire Mochin of He who forms the worlds, namely Zeir Anpin, and which is hinted at in the name Yud Hei Vav Hei, fully spelled with Aleph's, as Yud-Vav-Dalet, Hei-Aleph, Vav-Aleph-Vav, Hei-Aleph.

Rabbi Yehuda said, Woe to the wicked, whose generosity is not complete. Come and behold, Efron first said, "my lord, hear me, the field I give you, and the cave that is in it" (Beresheet 23:11). Later he said, "four hundred shekels" (Ibid. 14), and then, "and Abraham weighed to Efron current money with the merchant" (Ibid. 16). Here too, it is written at first "Behold, my land is before you,". Then he said (to Isaac), "Go from us; for you are much mightier than we" (Beresheet 26:16). Rabbi Elazar said to him, This is the benevolence Abimelech had for Isaac. He took nothing from him and sent him away with his money and possessions. Then, he went after him to make a covenant with him.

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.
