And each of the three is worthy of protection that the Shechina will not depart from him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>424) One should not rely on a miracle. How do we know this? From Samuel, as it is written, \u201cHow can I go? When Saul hears, he will kill me.\u201d Was Samuel more worthy of a miracle than three? Samuel was alone, so if Saul heard, he would certainly kill him. But for three, the harm is not certain because harm-doers, demons, do not appear before three and do not harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>425) It is written, \u201cThe angel that redeems me from all evil.\u201d Should it not have said, \u201cThat redeemed?\u201d It is \u201cThat redeems\u201d because it is always with man and never parts from a man who is righteous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The redeeming angel is the Shechina, who always walks with man and never parts from him as long as one keeps the Mitzvot of the Torah. Hence, one should be careful not to go out on the road by himself. What does it mean, \u201cBy himself\u201d? One should be careful to keep the Mitzvot of the Torah so that the Shechina will not part from him and he will be forced to walk alone, without a coupling with the Shechina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>426) When a man goes out to the road, he should set up his prayer before his Master, to draw the light of the Shechina on himself, and then set out. It turns out that the coupling of the Shechina is to redeem him on the way and to save him however is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>427) It is written about Jacob, \u201cIf God is with me.\u201d This is the coupling of the Shechina. \u201cAnd keeps me on this way\u201d is to redeem him from all evil. At that time, Jacob was alone, and the Shechina was walking before him. It is all the more so with the friends, who have words of Torah among them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>423) Rabbi Yosi said, \u201cThis mountain is terrible, let us go and
