552) \u201cShimon and Levi are brothers; their weapons are tools of robbery. Let my soul not come into their council.\u201d Here he fastened them to the left side of the Shechina because he saw actions of the harsh judgment [judgment] in them, which the world could not tolerate. Shimon was unworthy of a blessing because he saw several bad deeds in him, and Levi came from the side of harsh judgement, upon which blessing does not rely. Even when Moses came, he did not rely his blessing on him, as it is written, \u201cLord, bless his substance,\u201d meaning that his blessing was dependent upon the Creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
553) It is written, \u201cThere is the sea, great and broad, in which are swarms innumerable, animals both small and great.\u201d \u201cThere is the sea\u201d is the Shechina, who stood over Jacob when he wished to depart from the world. \u201cGreat and broad,\u201d since the whole world is filled, complemented, and restricted in the Shechina, who is filled and complemented by the power of the south, and restricted by the power of the north. \u201cIn which are swarms innumerable,\u201d since there are many high and holy angels there. \u201cAnimals both small and great\u201d are the twelve tribes, Jacob\u2019s sons, who are there in full, Naphtali the doe, Benjamin the wolf with Gad the kid [a young goat], Judah the lion, Joseph the lamb, and all of them, small animals being with great ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
554) In all of them, in all the tribes there are small animals with great ones. However, Judah is a lion and Shimon is an ox because Shimon is Gevura and Gevura is the face of an ox. They were staring opposite each other, Judah on the right and Shimon on the left, like an ox, whose deeds are bad. He looked at the image of the lion that was painted on its stall and feared it. Thus, Shimon is an ox and Judah is a lion. Shimon, who is an ox, is Gevura, and he surrenders by looking at Judah, who is a lion, Hesed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
555) Shimon was not rewarded with blessings from Jacob. Rather, Moses joined him with Judah, as it is written, \u201cThe Lord heard the voice of Judah,\u201d and it is written, \u201cBecause the Lord has heard that I am hated,\u201d which is why Leah called him Shimon. And as the Creator heard with Shimon, the Creator heard that Judah includes Shimon. Jacob did not bless Shimon and Levi because he raised them to Moses, so he would bless them. What is the reason that their father did not bless them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
557) Jacob had four wives and bore children from all of them. He was complemented by his wives. When Jacob wished to depart from the world, the Shechina stood over him. He wished to bless Shimon and Levi but he could not because he feared the Shechina. He said, \u201cHow will I do it, since both come from the side of harsh judgment and their blessing would blemish the Shechina? I cannot attack the Shechina! I had four wives, who were extended unto me from the four phases HG TM in the Shechina. I was complemented in them because they bore twelve tribes to me, which are the entire perfection. And since I received my perfection from the Shechina, how can I bless Shimon and Levi against Her will? Instead, I will hand them over to the Master of the house, Moses, the queen\u2019s husband, the one by whose will the house is present, and He will do as He pleases.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
558) So said Jacob, \u201cI received my share in wives and sons in this world from the Shechina and I was complemented. Thus, how can I grow stronger in the queen, the Shechina? Instead, I will hand the matters over to the Master of the queen, to Moses, and He will do as He pleases, and He will not fear.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
559) It is written, \u201cThis is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the sons of Israel.\u201d \u201cMan of God\u201d is the Master of the house, the Master of the queen. Man means master, as it is written, \u201cHer husband may raise it and her husband may annul it.\u201d The Shechina is called \u201cMoses\u2019 bride.\u201d Moses is a Merkava [assembly\/chariot] above Chazeh of ZA. And this is why he is the husband of the queen, like ZA, and he was the giver to the Shechina, since the giver is a master to the receiver. Hence, he is called \u201cThe man of God.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this reason, Moses blessed whomever he wanted and did not fear blemishing the Shechina, since he could correct her as he pleased. This is why Jacob said, \u201cI see that those sons of mine are on the side of harsh judgement; let the Master of the house come and bless them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
560) Moses was certainly the man of God and did as he pleased in his home, as it is written, \u201cHer husband may raise it,\u201d meaning that he would give him Mochin of Hochma, called \u201craising,\u201d as it is written, \u201cAnd Moses said, \u2018Rise up, O Lord, and Your enemies will scatter.\u2019\u201d This is so because along the way there is gripping to the shells, and Mochin of Hochma chase the shells away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd her husband may annul it,\u201d as it is written, \u201cWhen he rested he said, \u2018Return, O Lord,\u2019\u201d since when the Shechina is in a place of rest, the shells have no hold of her and there is no fear. Hence, \u201cHer husband may annul it,\u201d meaning that he annuls the GAR of Hochma by the force of the middle line, to clothe her in Hassadim, as it is written, \u201cWhen he rested he said, \u2018Return, O Lord.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Certainly, the Master of the house does as He pleases and there is none to protest against Him. It is like a man who commands his wife and she does as he wishes. For this reason, although Jacob was gripped to the tree of life, ZA, he was not the master of the house, as was Moses. This is because he was gripped below Chazeh of ZA, which already belongs to Nukva of ZA. Moses, however, was above, gripped above Chazeh of ZA, in the male world. Hence, he was the Master of the house, like ZA, and this is why Jacob handed them over to the Master of the house to bless them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
561) \u201cLet my soul not enter their council.\u201d It is written, \u201cThe council of the Lord is for those who fear Him. This is a sublime secret in the Torah, which the Creator gives only to those who fear sin. One who fears sin, the high secret in the Torah appears to him. This is the sign of the covenant of holiness called, \u201cthe secret of the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
562) Shimon and Levi troubled themselves with this secret of the sign of the covenant of holiness with the people of Shechem, so they would circumcise themselves and take that secret on themselves, to keep the sign of the covenant of holiness. However, it was in deceit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zimri, too, the leader of the fathers\u2019 households in the tribe of Shimon, disqualified that secret in the matter of Cozbi the daughter of Zur. Jacob said about that, \u201cLet my soul not come into their council.\u201d \u201cMy soul\u201d is the soul that rises and unites in the upper covenant above, meaning Malchut that unites with the upper covenant, Yesod of ZA. Also, Nefesh is called \u201cthe bundle of life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
563) \u201cLet not my glory be united with their assembly,\u201d as it is written, \u201cKorah assembled all the congregation against them.\u201d Thus, only Korah, son of Izhar, son of Levi, was mentioned there, and not the son of Jacob. \u201cLet not my glory be united\u201d refers only to the glory of Israel. Hence, because of these actions, Jacob did not bless Shimon and Levi, but handed them over to Moses. This means that they were not united with each other but were scattered, as it is written, \u201cI will divide them in Jacob and spread them in Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And so it should be, that since they are harsh judgement, they need dispersion. For this reason, there are all of Israel in their harsh judgement, since along with their dispersion in Israel, Israel absorbed from the harsh judgment in them. There is not a generation in the world when their harsh judgment does not come down to slander in the world. Because of it, they multiply and beg people for alms. Hence, all of Israel were hurt by their judgement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
