מָצִינוּ
We observe
דְעִקָּר חִבָּתוֹ שֶׁל הקב"ה לְאַבְרָהָם אָבִינוּ עָלָיו הַשָּׁלוֹם
that G‑d cherished Avraham mainly
הָיָה לְמַעַן אֲשֶׁר יְצַוֶּה — כְּפֵרוּשׁוֹ יְחַבֵּר — אֶת בָּנָיו וְאֶת בֵּיתוֹ
because “he commands his children and his household.” Now, the word here translated “commands” (yetzaveh) can also mean “connect.”
הַיְנוּ
This implies
דְּכָל גּוֹדֶל עֲבוֹדָתוֹ בְּהַנִּסְיוֹנוֹת
that all of Avraham’s prodigious endeavors in the face of his trials
אֵינוֹ בְּעֶרֶךְ לְגַבֵּי הָא דִיצַוֶּה וִיחַבֵּר אֲחֵרִים
pale in comparison to his commanding and connecting others —
מַה שֶׁיְּזַכֶּה אֲחֵרִים
by making them, too, meritorious.
