Йешайау 41:2 Каббала: Sha'arei Orah

In the same manner it states,¹⁴Job 38:7 “When the morning stars sang-ron-רן in unison and all the (angels who are called the) sons of God-Bnei Elohim-בני אלהי"ם trembled-Yari’oo-יריעו.” The songs that are called Rinah-רינה are the songs of the morning. It is then that all the forces of harsh judgment, who are called the sons of God-Bnei Elohi”m-בני אלהי"ם are scattered and tremble. The word “trembled-Yari’oo-יריעו” here is related to the verse,¹⁵Isaiah 24:19 “Trembling, trembling-Ro’ah Hithro’a’ah- רעה התרעעה will be the land.”

Now, regarding what our sages of blessed memory, expounded in Tractate Brachot,⁷⁹Talmud Bavli, Brachot 7b “The verse should have said, ‘For Your sake,’ rather than ‘For the sake of the Lord-Adona”y-אדנ״י.’ Rather, what is meant is for the sake of Avraham, who called You ‘Lord-Adon-אדון.’” Indeed, this is true and certain. For, it is this Divine quality that guarded over Avraham and fought his wars, which is the mystery of the verse,⁸⁰Genesis 14:15 “He with his servants deployed against them at night and struck them,” and is the mystery of the verse,⁸¹Isaiah 41:2 “Who inspired the one from the east,⁸²That is, this is a reference to Avraham who was from Canaan to the east, and that just as HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He, helped Avraham in his war against the kings, so will He help Avraham’s offspring in the future. (See Rashi and Radak to Isaiah 41:2.) whose every footstep was accompanied by righteousness-Tzedek-צדק,” as will be explained about the term, “righteousness-Tzedek-צדק,” with the help of HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He.

Thus, it is into the hands of the quality called “righteousness-Tzedek-צדק” that a number of camps and troops, called “men of war (Anshei Milchamah-אנשי מלחמה)” are given. Included in them are those who have spears, bows and arrows, swords and ballistic stones, with which to engage in battle, to uproot and annihilate. It is this Divine quality that accompanied our forefather Avraham, peace be upon him, in the war of the kings. It is this quality that obliterated them before him and through which he was victorious in the war. This is as stated,¹³⁹Isaiah 41:2 “Who inspired the one from the east,¹⁴⁰As mentioned before, this is a reference to Avraham who was from Canaan to the east. (See Rashi and Radak to Isaiah 41:2.) whose [every] footstep was accompanied by righteousness-Tzedek-צדק? Who delivered nations to him and subdued kings [before him]? Who made [his enemies] be like dust [before] his sword; like straw blown about [before] his bow?”
