קבלה אויף איוב 41:2

After having explained this, know that when the face of the World of Mercy, called Preexistence-Kedem-קדם, shines its face upon all the Sefirot, all the worlds are then in a desirable state and are filled. About this the verse states,³⁵²Micah 6:6 “With what shall I precede-Akadem-אקדם HaShem-יהו״ה? Shall I precede Him-HaAkadmenu-האקדמנו with burnt offerings?” And it states,³⁵³Psalms 95:2 “Let us precede-Nekdmah-נקדמה His countenance with thanksgiving.” Now, is there anyone who can precede HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He? Does the verse not state,³⁵⁴Job 41:2 “Who has preceded Me-Hikdimanee-הקדימני that I should pay him?” Rather, the verse states, “With what-b’Mah-במה shall I precede-Akadem-אקדם HaShem-יהו״ה?” That is, what prayers, supplications, or good deeds can I do to bring about the revelation of His face of mercy-Rachamim, called “Preexistent-Kedem-קדם,” to bestow to the other Sefirot. This is the meaning of the words, “With what shall I precede-Akadem-אקדם HaShem-יהו״ה?”
