Kabbalah su Isaia 41:78
Zohar
Come and behold, Abraham indeed succeeded in his desire to get closer to the Holy One, blessed be He. As it is written, "You love righteousness and hate wickedness" (Tehilim 45:8). Because he loved righteousness and hated wickedness, he therefore came closer to righteousness. Therefore, it is written, "Abraham my beloved" (Yeshayah 41:8). Why "my beloved?" Because it has been said about him, "You love righteousness." This is the love toward the Holy One, blessed be He, whom Abraham loved more than anyone else of his generation, who were "stout-hearted" and "far from righteousness," as has already been explained.

Zohar Chadash
When the Holy One, Blessed be He, looked over the generations of wicked men, he stored the light for the righteous ones. Thus it is written, "And from the wicked their light is withholden," (Job 38:15) and, "light is sown for the righteous and gladness for those upright in hearts" (Ps. 97:11) And so, God said "Let there be light" just as it is written, "Who raised up the righteous man from the east," (Is. 41:1)

Sefer Yetzirah Gra Version
And when Abraham our father, may he rest in peace,/ looked, saw, understood, probed,/ engraved and carved,/ He was successful in creation,/ as it is written,/ "And the souls that they made in Haran" (Genesis 12:5)./ Immediately there was revealed to him the Master of all,/ may His name be blessed forever,/ He placed him in His bosom, and kissed him on his head,/ and He called him,/ "Abraham my beloved" (Isaiah 41:8)./ He made a covenant with him/ and with his children after him forever,/ as it is written,/ "And he believed in God, and He considered/ and He considered it righteousness" (Genesis 15:6)./ He made with him a covenant/ between the ten fingers of his hands - / this is the covenant of the tongue,/ and between the ten toes of his feet - / this is the covenant of circumcision,/ And He bound the 22 letters of Torah to his tongue/ and He revealed to him His mystery/ He drew them in water,/ He flamed them with fire,/ He agitated them with Breath,/ He burned them with the seven [planets]/ He directed them with the twelve constellations.

Shaarei Orah
And the aspect of the name Adona"y is called sometimes by the nickname Beit Hamikdash [Temple], because it is the house where the Unique Name dwells in. And because the Holy One of Blessing sanctified Mount Moriah and it was the portion of Adona"y, the Beit Hamikdash was built on it, and your sign [that this is true] is: "A Mikdash, Adona"y, Your hands established" (Exodus 15:17). And this is the name that dwelt inside it, and all the forms of the House, and its chambers and halls and trasuries and vestibules - all were [made] in the secret of Adona"y, as the matter that we spoke about the secret of the forms of the limbs of a person. And when Israel sinned and the Shechinah separated itself, the House was destroyed. and when Daniel came and prayed in front of Y"Y, Blessed, so as to build the Beit HaMikdash, he directed [his intentions] to this aspect and said: "and show Your favor to Your desolate sanctuary, for the sake of Adona"y" (Daniel 9:17), with Alef, Dalet, Nun, Yud. That is to say, build the Beit HaMikdash that is the throne and the hall for the name Adona"y. And what our sages of blessed memory explained in Masechet Berakhot (Berakhot 7b) "'for the sake of the Lord' (Daniel 9:17) - it should have said "for Your sake", rather for the sake of Avraham, who called You, Lord." True and immutable, because this aspect was guarding Avraham and fighting his wars, in the secret "and he divided upon them at night, he and his servants and defeated them" (Genesis 14:15), and in the secret of "Who roused Righteousness [Tzedek] from the West, and called it to His feet?" (Isaiah 41:2), as we will explain regarding the word tzedek with the help of Heaven.

Idra Zuta
Come and see, Aleph on its own is called first, which is male; for the unknown is hidden and concealed in Aleph. When this Aleph is connected to another place, that place is called beginning. You might say it is connected – no, it appears in it and shines in it. Then it is called beginning. Even that beginning (spelled with Aleph) does not watch over Jerusalem; had Jerusalem received from this beginning, it would be constantly alight, and its union would not be intermittent. However, it is spelled reshit without Aleph, and so its union is intermittent. In the world to come it is written, “A first of Zion will I give” (Yeshayahu 41:27). Aleph that is called first will shine upon Zion that is Malchut.
