Aside from the error in your example, my terseness caused a general
conceptual error.

The imahos as symbols represent how we respond to HQBH when He "takes
the first step". Is'arusa deIla'a is always felt fourfold, because we
can sense that there is more going on than our usual threefold selves.

But I meant the symbology, not the individuals. It's like saying that
Avraham represents chessed. That doesn't rule out his doing things for
other motives, even things recorded in the Torah, that don't fit his
overall symbology -- at least not in any simple way.

Tir'u baTov!
