Zohar 1:97a-b.

Jewish Mysticism
“The song of the turtledove is heard in the land,” this is the word of the Holy One, blessed be He, which did not exist in the world until Adam was created. When Adam came into being, everything existed. After Adam sinned, everything departed from the world and the earth was cursed, as it is written, “Cursed be the earth because of you” (Gen. 3-17), and it is written, “If you till the soil, it shall no longer yield its strength to you” (ibid. 4-12), and it is written, “Thorns and thistles shall it sprout for you” (ibid. 3-18). Noah came and he crafted spades and hoes in the world, and after that [it is written] “He drank of the wine and became drunk, and he uncovered himself within his tent” (Gen. 9-21). People of the world came and sinned before the Holy One, blessed be He, and the forces of the earth vanished as it was in the beginning. They remained like this until Abraham came, for when Abraham came to the world, immediately “the blossoms appeared in the land.” All the forces of the earth were rectified and they were revealed. “The time of pruning has come,” [this refers to] the time that the Holy One, blessed be He, told him to circumcise himself, for the time had come when the covenant should be found in Abraham and he circumcised himself. Then this verse was fulfilled in him, the world was established, and the word of the Holy One, blessed be He, was revealed through him, as it is written, “The Lord appeared to him” (ibid. 18-1).
