Chasidut к Берешит 17:1
וַיְהִ֣י אַבְרָ֔ם בֶּן־תִּשְׁעִ֥ים שָׁנָ֖ה וְתֵ֣שַׁע שָׁנִ֑ים וַיֵּרָ֨א יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־אַבְרָ֗ם וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֵלָיו֙ אֲנִי־אֵ֣ל שַׁדַּ֔י הִתְהַלֵּ֥ךְ לְפָנַ֖י וֶהְיֵ֥ה תָמִֽים׃
И когда Авраму было девяносто девять лет, Господь явился Авраму и сказал ему: 'Я Бог Всемогущий; ходи предо Мною и будь от всего сердца.

Noah walked with God (Gen. 6:9) Rashi explained: “But regarding Abraham it says, [Walk before me (Gen. 17:1)], Before whom I have walked (Gen. 24:40); Noah needed assistance to support him, but Abraham strengthened himself with his righteousness and walked independently.” But this is difficult to understand as well, for does the verse not say [Noah was a] completely righteous [man] (Gen. 6:9)? And if [Rashi’s comment is correct,] then he is not “complete” since he lacks the level of Abraham!
