“Carrier of iniquity.” The Creator snatches the bill of iniquities and by this, a sentencing to the side of merit takes place (presented in Torah Temimah).
We should understand that when one is half merits and half iniquities, how can one decide to the side of merit? The advice for this is prayer: One should pray to the Creator to snatch a bill of iniquities and by this he will be able to decide.
That is, seeing oneself as half guilty is not a matter of standing before the courthouse of above. Rather, it is about a person seeing on himself that the forces are equal and he can subjugate the good before the bad.
However, if there are equal forces in the body, and he must decide, who will give him more strength to decide to the side of merit, since they are equal forces? The advice is for one to pray to the Creator to carry the iniquity, meaning that the Creator will snatch the promissory note [debt], and thereby there will be a decision to the good side.
Thus, what is man’s work when he is told he must decide? It is only prayer, and he has no strength for more than that. Since both the good and the bad are equal forces. Who decides? Through the prayer, by the Creator carrying the iniquity, there is already a decision.
