Likutei Moharan 87:2/ליקוטי מוהר"ן פ״ז:ב׳
אוְזֶהוּ:
12. This is the meaning of [the opening verse]: {“Give truth to Yaakov, kindness to Avraham.”}
בתִּתֵּן אֱמֶת לְיַעֲקֹב – הַיְנוּ לְהַיִּרְאָה, כִּי יַעֲקֹב הוּא יִרְאָה, מִלְּשׁוֹן (משלי כ״ב:ד׳): עֵקֶב עֲנָוָה יִרְאַת ה'. אָז בְּוַדַּאי:
2Give truth to Yaakov—In other words, to fear. For YaAKoV signifies fear, as connoted by “The ÆKeV (end product of) humility is fear of God” (Proverbs 22:4), <i.e., fear of [His] exaltedness>. Then certainly:
גחֶסֶד לְאַבְרָהָם – כִּי אַבְרָהָם נִקְרָא מִי שֶׁבָּא לְדַבֵּק אֶת עַצְמוֹ לְהַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ, מִלְּשׁוֹן אָבוֹא רָם.
3kindness to Avraham—For anyone who comes to cleave to God is called AVRahaM, derived from AVo RaM (I will come to the Exalted One).
דוְזֶה שֶׁכָּתוּב (בזוהר בלק דף קצח:): וְהָיָה צֶדֶק אֵזוֹר מָתְנָיו וֶאֱמוּנָה אֵזוֹר חֲלָצָיו, הַיְנוּ צֶדֶק וְהַיְנוּ אֱמוּנָה, אֶלָּא עַד לָא אִתְחַבְּרַת אֱמֶת בַּהֲדָהּ אִקְרִי צֶדֶק, כֵּיוָן דְּאִתְחַבֵּר אֱמֶת בַּהֲדָהּ אִקְרִי אֱמוּנָה, וְכָל טִיבוּ וְכָל נְהוֹרָא שַׁרְיָא בָּהּ:
4This is as it is written: “Justice will be the girdle of his loins, and faith the girdle of his waist” (Isaiah 11:5). [Yet this would imply that] justice is identical to faith. However, as long as it does not have truth bound to it, it is called justice. Once truth is bound to it, it is called faith. And then all good and all light reside in it (Zohar III, 198b) .
