זוהר ויקרא — דף יד ע”א

Continuing the teaching on circumcision, it is explained that Yosef kept this covenant and thereby merited honor in this world and the next, as well as God's Name resting within him. Rabbi Yitzchak examines the blessing 'his firstborn bull, glory is his,' and Rabbi Abba explains that the covenant is bound to two supreme grades (called 'cow' and 'bull'); whoever keeps it merits two kingships - his own and his son's. Rabbi Shimon teaches that the blood of circumcision is kept before the Holy One, blessed be He, and saves the world at times of judgment, and that two crowns (judgment and mercy, male and female) unite and are harmonized in the covenant called 'day and night.' Whoever merits keeping the covenant merits both worlds; Avraham is called 'complete' only after his circumcision, having then merited both. The verse 'he sat at the entrance of the tent' is explained: the entrance of the tent is the tenth crown, and 'the Lord will pass over (pasach) the entrance' means that kindness rests upon that entrance. Rabbi Elazar asks how this fits with the circumcised convert, who is called only a 'righteous convert' without meriting both like the native Israelite.
