Kabbalah su Isaia 40:26
שְׂאוּ־מָר֨וֹם עֵינֵיכֶ֤ם וּרְאוּ֙ מִי־בָרָ֣א אֵ֔לֶּה הַמּוֹצִ֥יא בְמִסְפָּ֖ר צְבָאָ֑ם לְכֻלָּם֙ בְּשֵׁ֣ם יִקְרָ֔א מֵרֹ֤ב אוֹנִים֙ וְאַמִּ֣יץ כֹּ֔חַ אִ֖ישׁ לֹ֥א נֶעְדָּֽר׃ (ס)
Alza gli occhi in alto e guarda: chi li ha creati? Chi fa emergere il loro ospite per numero, li chiama tutti per nome; Per la grandezza della sua potenza, e per questo è forte nel potere, nessuno fallisce.

Zohar
"In the beginning," Rabbi Elazar opened, “Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who has created these things.” (Isaiah 40:26) Lift up your eyes, to what place? To the place where all eyes are turned. And who is He, that has "created these things"? He is one who opens those eyes. And you will know this. It is the concealed Atika,wherein lies the question, 'Who has created these?' And who is He? WHO. [M"I] He is called from the ends of Divine Heaven on high, where everything belongs to Him as everything is in His domain. And since one can ask about Him though He is concealed and not revealed, He is called WHO, because beyond Him, one may not pose such questions. Thus, the end of heaven is called WHO.

Shaarei Orah
Know that this honored and awesome name, YHV"H, blessed, is found in the Torah in different matters and uses. Know that you will sometimes find it by itself in most of the Torah, as in "and YHV"H spoke" "and YHV"H said" and in similar instances as those. And sometimes you will find that another of the holy names joins itself to it, as it is said after the Creation: "and these are the generation of heaven and earth as they were being created, on the day that YHV"H Elohim made earth and heaven" (Genesis 2:4). And in all Creation you only find Elohim alone, and when [the text] began to speak about the completion of Creation, in the portion"and these are the generations of heaven and earth as they were being created" [the text] began to use YHV"H Elohim. And we need to inform you of the reason for this. Know that as YHV"H being advanced and crowned and filled with all the middot [characteristics] and with all the sefirot combining in it, and that in it all the things and all creatures are completed and finished, as we already informed you, there was no need to mention [that name] in the story of Creation, since the world wasn't there yet, nor were its creatures completed not the deed finished. The world wasn't in its fullness and completeness, and the world was not filled [with its contents], rather, all the were in a state of flux. And when the Creation of the World was completed, and all the things were in an advanced state, and they were all in an state of complete improvement, then [the text] records YHV"H Elohim, that are two names that unite with each other. This is because Elohim many times clothes Godself with the name Adon"ai and is then called Adon"ai Elohim as we explained to you. And in joining YHV"H Adon"ai, which is the secret of YHV"H Elohim, then all the things [become] in final [state of] completeness. And even though there is Elohim that is the secret of the characteristic of Gevurah and Din/Judgment, as we said, and as our sages of blessed memory said: [God] began to build God's world through the characteristic of Judgment as it is said in the beginnign of Elohim creating (Genesis 1:1) God saw that [the world] would not be able to stand, God rose and joined the characteristic of Rachamim/compassion as it is said "in the day of YHV"H Elohim having created land and heaven" (Genesis 2:4). And this is true, and upright and correct, but come and see great and wondrous things. Behold the text said: "raise your eyes to heavens and see M"Y who created these [eleh]?" (Isaiah 40:26). Obviously that which is called M"Y created "these", which is the secret of the first day that is the secret of Binah, and from it - until the day of Shabbat - during the six days in which heaven and earth and all the creatures were made. And in truth the word M"Y is above and the word Y"M is below, and the word M"Y created it. which is the beginning of the clothing of the name Elohim in the secret of the name called YHV"H, which is written in the word YHVH and called out with the vowels of Elohim in the secret of YHV"H, and both of them are the secret M"Y and their secret: All K"L the rivers go to the sea Y"M (Ecclesiastes 1:7). And from this characteristic which is called M"Y, and is the secret of the clothing of Elohim in the name YHV"H, from [that characteristic] the characteristic of Gevurah, Din and Pachad, which is verily called the characteristic of the Strength of Elohim, is inherited. And from those two characteristics the characteristic called Adon"ai name of Elohim, is inherited, and is clothed in her clothing and then created the world in the secret of YHV"H Adon"ai. And if you understand this principle you will find the name YHV"H Elohim. both of them, in the secret of YHV"H. In the form of its letters, YHV"H; in the form of its vowels, Elohim. And one finds that this name witnesses the secret of YHV"H Elohim, the full name. And the secret of YHV"H is Elohim (I Kings 18:39) in truth: YHV"H in the form of the letters is Elohim in the form of the vowels. And according the saying of the verse YHV"H is Elohim, twice, one corresponding to the higher justice and one corresponding to the lower justice. And the secret of "And you shall know this day, and you shall set it to your heart, that YHV"H is Elohim in the heaven above and on the earth below; there is none else" (Deuteronomy 4:39): in the heaven above - this is the higher justice; and on earth below - this is the lower justice. And if so, all is hinted in the secret of YHV"H Adon"ai. You have found that you've learned that the characteristic Adon"ai in the Creation of the World is clothed in the characteristic M"Y, which is the secret of Binah, which is YHV"H in writing and in vowels, and created the world. And behold, the characteristic of the higher justice that is called Bin"ah and the characteristic of Gevurah and all the other sefirot flowed their power in the name Adon"ai, and it was clothed from the name Elohim and created the world, as it is written "In the beginning created Elohim". And since the name Elohim sometimes is spelled in contracted form and sometimes is spelled in full, it was needed to mention it in the creation of the world, while the world was not full and its creation was not completely formed, yet once the creation of the world was finished, the name mentioned is YHV"H Elohim. Elohim while the forms were not completed, YHV"H at the completion of all the forms, since the name Elohim is not full and complete unless in the name YHV"H - and the secret (Exodus 4:11) "Who makes mute [ilem אלם].. Is it not I, YHV"H?" - this is the secret of Elohim, when you separate the two letters of the name YHV"H, which are Y"H, mute [ilem אלם] is left in the secret of Elohim, Ilem Y"ah. Therefore the world was created with the name Elohim, and when all the things were improved and all the formed beings [were], and the world was in its fullness, it was necessary to mention YHV"H Elohim. And this is what our sages said: the full name was mentioned in a full world, and therefore when the deed of Creation was finished, [the text] began to mention YHV"H Elohim over the fullness of the world.

Zohar
Rabbi Shimon said, from here onward we shall complete the text. As it is written, "That brings out their host by number" (Isaiah 40:26), there are two grades, and each one has to be recorded, one is called WHAT [M"H] and the other WHO [M"I]. WHO is the Upper One, and WHAT is the lower one. The Upper Degree registers, speaks, and brings forth their hosts by number, where the letter Hei alludes to the one that is known and unequaled, [i.e. WHO]. This is similar to the phrase, “haMotzi lechem” – "He who brings forth bread from the earth," where the letter Hei refers to the knowledge of the known, lower degree, [i.e. WHAT]. And together they are one. [as Malkuth]. So, "...by number," 600,000 that stand together and bring forth the hosts according to their types, which are innumerable.

Zohar
He asks: “What is the meaning of “by the greatness of His might and wealth?” (Isaiah 40:26) This is the supreme grade where all desires rise up in Him. And they ascend through a hidden and secret path... "because He is strong in power". This is the secret of the supernal world [WHO/M"I] that rose up to the name Elohim. As we have stated, the phrase "no one is missing", is to the 600,000 that He brought forth by the power of this name. And because "no one is missing" [from the] 600,000, it follows that in every place that Israel died and were punished for their sins, they were numbered. And no one was ever missing from the 600,000, to keep the balance [between the worlds]. Just as no one was missing [from the] 600,000 above, no one was missing [from the 600,000] below.

Rabbi Yitzchak said, The Holy One, blessed be He, will pour other spirits upon the bodies. They will be properly revived in the world if they merit the spirits. If they do not, they will be ashes under the feet of the righteous, as it is written, "And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, etc." (Daniel 12:2). Everything was established and prepared before the Holy One, blessed be He, and all were numbered for the time of resurrection, as it is written, "That brings out their host by number, etc." (Isaiah 40:26).
