And because of this, those who receive this 'Chessed' also receive it in a manner of 'Bittul' as Yaakov said in the Possuk: קָטֹנְתִי מִכֹל הַחֲסָדִים גוֹ׳ 'I have become small.' Whereas, [concerning] the effect that the 'Chessed' of Yishmoel has on its recipients is an influence in the manner of vigour and haughtiness, since the cause of its 'Hamshocha' is also from vigour etc. since its root is from the primordial world of 'Tohu', where the Divine light shines vigorously like the greatness of 'Chessed' of within, as is explained earlier at length.

GIMEL However, we still need clarification, since the Hamshocha to Yishmoel is from Avrohom, and since Avrohom is the kindness of holiness how could the 'Chessed' of the other side descend from there?

And even though our sages of blessed memory have stated in the 'Talmud' that "from Avrohom Yishmoel exited" - that he is in a state of exit, nevertheless, it is from him (from Avrohom). It’s all very well regarding to Yitzchok that Eisov exited from him because Yitzchok's ethos is one of 'Gevuros’, and it is because of the many 'Gevuros' and contractions that a nurture was even possible to [exit to] the other side. But [the question remains] Avrohom whose ethos was 'Chessed', emitting light and revelation - how is it possible that it could go to the other side?
