Chasidut do Izajasza 14:14
אֶעֱלֶ֖ה עַל־בָּ֣מֳתֵי עָ֑ב אֶדַּמֶּ֖ה לְעֶלְיֽוֹן׃
Wzbiję się na szczyty chmur, dorównam Najwyższemu.
Mareh Yechezkel on Torah
And that is the meaning of that which is written, “Let Us make man.” Meaning to say, in partnership [with man], by way of the act of circumcision from below. And that is the meaning of that which was said (Yevamot 61a), “[Jews] are called Adam (a man).” Meaning to say, it is [like] the expression, “I will resemble (edameh) the Most High” (Isaiah 14:14) – for he takes the image of God upon himself. And that is the meaning of that which is written in the Midrash (Avot D'Rabbi Natan 2:5), “Adam (the first man) was born circumcised, as it is stated (Genesis 1:24), ‘And God created man (Adam) in His image.’” And that is why this commandment is hinted to at the beginning of the parasha, with the expression, “Bereshit” - bet reshit (two beginning[s]). That is that the Torah is called, the beginning; and circumcision is also [the beginning, in that] it is the first commandment of a man. “And the end of a matter is better than (tov me the beginning of it” (Ecclesiastes 7:8) – meaning to say, when he is good from (tov me) his beginning.
