Zohar Lech Lacha
Continued from previous DZ
#215
And of this it is written, “מִי הֵעִיר מִמִּזְרָח צֶדֶק יִקְרָאֵהוּ לְרַגְלוֹ יִתֵּן לְפָנָיו גּוֹיִם וּמְלָכִים יַרְדְּ” “Who aroused from the east one whom righteousness calls to his foot? He gives nations before him, and he rules over kings” (Isaiah 41:2). “Who aroused from the east” — this is Abraham. That is, Abraham aroused the upper firmament called “מי” “Who,” so that it should bestow the Chochmah to the lower firmament called Yam. “Righteousness calls him to his foot” — this is the lower firmament of all the seven firmaments, which became Yam. “He gives nations before him.” He asks, Who is “before him”? And he says, It is the lower firmament that we said, which is the one that makes vengeance and brings down the enemies. And of it David praised and said, “וְאֹיְבַי נָתַתָּה לִּי עֹרֶף וּמְשַׂנְאַי אַצְמִיתֵם” “And You gave me the neck of my enemies, and my haters I cut off” (Psalms 18:41). The meaning: for the shining of the Chochmah destroys all the outer ones and the Klipot. And because only the lower firmament receives the shining of the Chochmah, and not the six that are above it, therefore it says that it makes vengeance and brings down the enemies, and likewise “he gives nations before him.”
Notes:
Abraham aroused the upper firmament called “מי” (“Who”) so it would bestow Chochmah on the lower firmament called Yam. That lower firmament receives the Chochmah and thereby makes vengeance and brings down the enemies, as David said.

“He gives nations before him” — these are the nations that Abraham was pursuing after them, and the Holy One, blessed be He, killed them. “And he rules over kings” — these are the angels appointed over them above. For when the Holy One, blessed be He, does judgment in the world, He does the judgment in all of them, above and below, that is, in the nations below and in their princes above in the heavens.
Notes:
The nations Abraham pursued were killed by the Holy One, blessed be He. The kings are the angels appointed over them. Judgment is done above and below together.
#217
“יִרְדְּפֵם יַעֲבוֹר שָׁלוֹם” “He pursues them, he passes on in peace” (Isaiah 41:3). “He pursues them” — this is Abraham. For Abraham was pursuing them, and the Holy One, blessed be He, was passing before him and killing them. As it is written, “he passes on in peace” — this is the Holy One, blessed be He, who is called “שלום” Peace.
Notes:
Abraham pursued the kings, and the Holy One, blessed be He, who is called Peace, passed before him and destroyed them.
