זוהר, חיי שרה ט״זZohar, Chayei Sara 16

Segment 1א׳

וְאַבְרָהָם זָקֵן בָּא בַּיָּמִים וַיְיָ בֵּרַךְ אֶת אַבְרָהָם בַּכֹּל. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה פָּתַח (תהילים ס״ה:ה׳) אַשְׁרֵי תִּבְחַר וּתְקָרֵב יִשְׁכֹּן חֲצֵרֶיךָ, הַאי קְרָא (צד ע"ב) אִתְּמָר, אֲבָל זַכָּאָה הוּא בַּר נָשׁ דְּאוֹרְחוֹי אִתְכַּשְׁרָן קַמֵּי קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא וְאִיהוּ אִתְרָעֵי בֵּיהּ לְקָרָבָא לֵיהּ לְגַבֵּיהּ.

AND ABRAHAM WAS OLD, HE HAD COME INTO DAYS; AND THE LORD BLESSED ABRAHAM IN ALL THINGS. R. Judah discoursed on the verse: Happy is the man whom thou choosest and bringest near, that he may dwell in thy courts (Ps. 65, 5). ‘This verse’, he said, ‘may be explained as follows. Happy is the man whose ways are found right before the Holy One and in whom He finds pleasure so as to bring him near to Himself.

Segment 2ב׳

תָּא חֲזֵי, אַבְרָהָם אִתְקְרִיב לְגַבֵּיהּ וְתִאוּבְתֵּיהּ דִּילֵיהּ הֲוָה כָּל יוֹמוֹי בְּהַאי, וְלָא אִתְקְרִיב אַבְרָהָם בְּיוֹמָא חָדָא אוֹ בְּזִמְנָא חָדָא, אֶלָּא עוֹבָדוֹי קְרִיבוּ לֵיהּ בְּכָל יוֹמוֹי מִדַּרְגָּא לְדַרְגָּא, עַד דְּאִסְתַּלַק בְּדַרְגּוֹי.

Observe how Abraham strove to come nearer and nearer to Him, making Him the object of his longing the whole of his days. Not just one day, or just every now and then, but by his works advancing day by day from grade to grade, until he rose, when he was old, to the higher grades proper to him.

Segment 3ג׳

כַּד הֲוָה סִיב וְעָאל בְּדַרְגִּין עִלָּאִין כְּדְקָא חָזֵי דִּכְתִיב וְאַבְרָהָם זָקֵן, וּכְדֵין בָּא בַּיָּמִים בְּאִינוּן יוֹמִין עִלָּאִין בְּאִינוּן יוֹמִין יְדִיעָאן בְּרָזָא דִמְהֵימְנוּתָא. וַיְיָ בֵּרַךְ אֶת אַבְרָהָם בַּכֹּל. דְּמִתַּמָּן נָפְקִין כָּל בִּרְכָאן וְכָל טִיבוּ.

Hence we read that when Abraham was old he “came into days”, i.e. he entered into those supernal days, the days familiar in the doctrine of true faith. Further, “the Lord blessed Abraham in all things (ba-kol)”, the region called kol (all) being the source whence issue all boons and blessings.
