Chumash: Balak, First Parsha with Rashi.
Tehillim: 44-48.
Tanya: In truth, however, (p. 335)...is explained elsewhere. (p.337).
We find that G-d's love for our father Avraham was mainly because "...he will command (Yetzaveh) his children and his household." [1]
Yetzaveh here connotes "bring into a communion (with G-d)."
All of Avraham's towering Avoda in the tests to which he was subjected, [2] cannot be compared to his commanding others and bringing them into communion, i.e. to his bringing merit to others.
Notes:
Bereishit 18:19.
Pirkei Avot 5:3.
