6. Come and behold, it is written, "Now these are the generations of Ishmael" (Beresheet 25:12), and they are twelve princes. Then it is written, "And these are the generations of Isaac" (Ibid. 19). Is it possible that because it is written that Ishmael sired twelve princes and Isaac sired two, he (Ishmael) is more RIGHTEOUS THAN ISAAC? It is therefore written, "Who can utter the mighty (Heb. gvurot) acts of Hashem?" This refers to Isaac - AS ISAAC IS GVURAH OF ZEIR ANPIN - for Isaac sired Jacob, who alone is more important than all of them, for he fathered the twelve tribes, and sustained the upper and the lower, while Isaac supported the higher in supernal holiness and Ishmael only below. Therefore the verse, "Who can utter the mighty acts of Hashem?" REFERS TO ISAAC, AS EXPLAINED ABOVE. The phrase, "declare all His praises," refers to Jacob, BECAUSE JACOB, REPRESENTING EXISTENCE BOTH ABOVE AND BELOW, CONTAINS ALL HIS PRAISES. When the sun, ZEIR ANPIN, connects with the moon, NUKVA, many stars shine from them. THEY ARE THE TWELVE TRIBES OF YAH, LIKENED TO THE STARS IN JOSEPH'S DREAM.
