קבלה אויף בראשית 18:27

The titles of E”l-א״ל that are positioned to the right and transform the matter to merit the creatures, are the titles of the quality of kindness-Chessed. This is the quality that our forefather Avraham, peace be upon him, inherited above, namely, the quality of kindness-Chessed, which leans toward the merit of the creatures. This is hinted in the verse,²⁸⁸Genesis 18:23 “Avraham approached and said, ‘Will You even destroy the righteous with the wicked? Perhaps there are fifty righteous people in the city?” That is, in the merit of Avraham, all the titles that are of the quality of Avraham transform matters toward merit, like what our forefather Avraham did when he said,²⁸⁹Genesis 18:27 “Perhaps the fifty righteous people will lack five? Will You destroy the whole city because of the five?” To which HaShem-יהו״ה responded,²⁹⁰Genesis 18:28 “I will not destroy if I find forty-five.” The titles of kindness then continue transforming to merit, stating,²⁹¹Genesis 18:27 “Perhaps forty will be found there?” They continued to derive merit until they reached the end of the quality of kindness-Chessed, which are the ten titles hinted in the verse,²⁹²Genesis 18:32 “Perhaps ten will be found there?” However, if God forbid, there is not enough of an argument – meaning, that there is not at least one argument for each of the ten titles of kindness-Chessed – the matter is then sealed for punishment and the sentence is executed. Just as the sentence was executed on the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, so likewise, all judgments are concluded and all sentences executed, each according to its kind.
