582) \u201cThe Lord will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul.\u201d Since he said, \u201cThe Lord will protect you from all evil,\u201d why was it also said, \u201cHe will keep your soul\u201d? The Lord will keep you from all evil in this world and will keep your soul in the world of truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
583) The keeping in this world is that a person should keep from several bad kinds, slanderers, which go to slander people in the world and cling to them. The keeping in the world of truth is that if a person who passes away from this world is rewarded, his soul rises and is crowned in her place. If he is not rewarded, several camps of saboteurs come to him to pull him to Hell and give him into the hands of Dumah, and through him, he is given into the appointee over Hell. There are 130 million appointees with him and they all come over the souls of the wicked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
584) There are seven rooms and seven openings in Hell. The soul of the wicked enters, and several sabotaging angels, spirits, keep the gates, and there is an appointee over them, one in each gate. The souls of the wicked are handed over to those appointees by Dumah. When they are handed over to them, they close the gates of blazing fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
585) These are gates after gates, doubled, and the gates are all open and closed. The ones on the outside are open and the ones on the inside are closed. Each Sabbath they are open and the wicked come out, up to the gates on the outside where they meet other souls who are detained there in the doors on the outside and do not enter Hell. At the end of the Sabbath, the herald comes out in each door and says, \u201cLet the wicked return to the netherworld.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Creator keeps the souls of the righteous from being given into the hands of Dumah the appointee, as it is written, \u201cThe Lord will guard your going out and your coming in,\u201d and as it is written, \u201cHe will keep your soul.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
586) \u201cHe ties his foal to the vine.\u201d The vine is the assembly of Israel, Nukva, as it is written, \u201cYour wife shall be as a fruitful vine.\u201d Your wife is as this holy vine, the upper Nukva, a vine on which we bless, \u201cMaker of the fruit of the vine.\u201d Maker, as it is written, \u201cA fruit-tree, a fruit-bearing tree.\u201d The vine is a fruit-bearing tree. \u201cFruit-bearing\u201d means a male, ZA. A fruit-tree is the Nukva of ZA. For this reason, \u201cMaker of the fruit of the vine\u201d is male and female together, ZON.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
587) The vine is the Messiah King, who is destined to rule over all the armies of the nations and all the armies of the appointees of the idol worshipping nations, whose fort shall grow stronger. But the Messiah King will overcome them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
588) This vine, the Nukva, governs all the lower Ketarim [plural of Keter], that all the idol worshipping nations govern them, and it is Netzah above. Israel are called \u201cchoice vine,\u201d as it is written, \u201cAnd his donkey’s colt to the choice vine.\u201d They will destroy and defeat other armies below. But the Messiah King will prevail over all of them, as it is written, \u201cBehold, your king is coming to you; he is … poor and mounted on a donkey and on a foal of a donkey.\u201d \u201cFoal\u201d and \u201cdonkey\u201d are two Ketarim that the idol worshipping nations govern. They are from the left side, secular, and the Messiah King overcomes them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
589) The Messiah King will be called \u201cpoor\u201d because he has nothing of his own, for he is the Nukva of ZA, and she is called \u201cthe Messiah King.\u201d However, this is the holy moon above, Nukva of ZA, who has no light of her own, except what she receives from the sun, ZA. This is why she is considered poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
590) The Messiah King, the Nukva, will reign in His dominion, will unite in His place above. And then, as it is written, \u201cYour king shall come to you,\u201d precisely \u201cKing,\u201d since he contains the Nukva above and the Messiah King below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If below, he is poor, the moon, the upper Nukva, since it is discerned as the moon, which is the upper Nukva, since the Messiah King below is extended from the Nukva and is therefore called, \u201cpoor,\u201d like her. And if above, which is the Nukva herself, she is poor, since she is a mirror that does not shine by itself, but from ZA. For this reason, she is called, \u201cbread of affliction.\u201d Yet, the Messiah is riding on a donkey and a foal, the stronghold of the idol worshipping nations, to subdue them under him. And the Creator, the Nukva, will strengthen in His place above, for the words, \u201cYour king shall come to you\u201d contain them both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
591) \u201cHe washed his garments in wine, and his robes in the blood of grapes.\u201d \u201cWho is this who comes from Edom, with garments of glowing colors from Bozrah?\u201d It is written, \u201cI have trodden the wine trough alone.\u201d Washing in wine is the side of Gevura of ZA, the harsh judgement, since it is over the idol worshipping nations. \u201cHis robes in the blood of grapes\u201d is the lower tree, Nukva, a courthouse, which is called \u201cgrapes.\u201d The wine is given in the blood of grapes, to clothe in both of them, in the harsh judgment of ZA and in the judgment of Nukva, to break all the idol worshipping nations and kings in the world under him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The illumination of the left is called \u201cwine.\u201d If he draws in the measure of holiness, meaning only from below upwards, it is wine that delights God and people. If he draws more than a measure, it is from above downwards, too. Then it becomes an intoxicating wine and harsh judgment appears in it, which consumes and destroys those who draw it. There are two discernments in it: from the left side of ZA, it is harsh judgement, and from the left side of Nukva, it is soft judgement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the righteous see the harsh judgment from the side of ZA and from the side of the Nukva, which is done in the wicked who draw it as intoxicating wine, they strengthen in their work. This is regarded as washing their clothes and cleaning them from any hint of sin. The words, \u201cHe washed his garments in wine\u201d mean that he washes his clothes through the harsh judgement, which is done in the idol worshipping nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This wine is the side of Gevura of ZA, a harsh judgement, since it is male. \u201cAnd his robes in the blood of grapes\u201d is the lower tree, the Nukva, a courthouse that is called \u201cgrapes,\u201d the left side of Nukva, which is a soft judgement. The wine of ZA is given in the blood of grapes of the Nukva so their two kinds of judgments will join. At that time, all the idol worshipping nations and the kings of the world that draw this intoxicating wine break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
592) How obtuse are people, who do not know and do not notice the glory of their Master? They do not consider words of Torah and do not know their ways, by which they are caught, as it is written, \u201cThe way of the wicked is like darkness; they do not know over what they stumble.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
593) In the early times, there was prophecy among men. They knew and beheld to know the glory of the upper one. When prophecy had ceased in them, they used an echo. Now prophecy, as well as the echo, has stopped and people use only dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
594) The dream\u2014the lowest degree\u2014is on the outside, since the dream is one part out of sixty of prophecy, for it comes from the sixth degree below. This is so because it comes from Hod of Nukva, the sixth degree to NH of ZA, from which prophecy arrives. The dream is seen to all because the dream is from the left side, from Hod of Nukva, and descends many degrees through Angel Gabriel, from whom the dream is received. Also, the dream is seen even by wicked and even by idol worshippers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
595) Sometimes, these kinds of evil angels receive the dream and hear and notify people. Some of them mock people and give them false knowledge, and sometimes words of truth that they hear. And sometimes, they are emissaries of the wicked and inform them of high matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
596) It is written, \u201cAnd the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, \u2018In my dream, behold, a vine was before me; and in the vine were three branches.\u2019\u201d This wicked one saw a true dream, as it is written, \u201cAnd in the vine were three branches.\u201d A vine is the assembly of Israel, the Nukva, as it is written, \u201cLook from heaven and see, and visit this vine.\u201d \u201cFrom heaven,\u201d since she was thrown from that place, as it is written, \u201cHe has cast the earth from heaven.\u201d \u201cAnd visit this vine.\u201d Vine, \u201cthis,\u201d is the Nukva. This is why he says \u201cvine,\u201d the name of the Nukva, like \u201cThis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
597) \u201cAnd in the vine were three branches, and as it was budding, its blossoms shot forth.\u201d \u201cThree branches\u201d are as it is written, \u201cThree flocks of sheep were lying there beside it,\u201d three lines. \u201cAnd she blossoms,\u201d as it is written, \u201cAnd Solomon’s wisdom excelled,\u201d meaning that the moon, Nukva, illuminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was budding\u201d refers to Jerusalem below, the Nukva. \u201cIt was budding\u201d means above, the same degree that stands on the Nukva and nurses it, Yesod, as it is written, \u201ca fruit-bearing tree whose seed is on the earth,\u201d meaning Yesod, which gives to the Nukva, earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIts clusters produced ripe grapes,\u201d to keep the kept wine in them, so no shell in the world would have a grip on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
598) How much did this wicked one see? It is written, \u201cAnd Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh’s cup.\u201d Here he saw the cup of poison, the suction of the courthouse that was coming out of those grapes, which were given to Pharaoh, and he drank them, as it was in Israel\u2019s exodus from Egypt. When Joseph heard it, he rejoiced and knew the word of truth in this dream. This is why he resolved the dream for him favorably, since by that, he announced Joseph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
599) \u201cHe ties his foal to the vine,\u201d since all the mighty ones of the idol worshipping nations surrendered under this vine, for by the power of this vine, the Nukva, their power was tied and yielded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
600) There is a vine and there is a vine. There is a high and holy vine, the Nukva, and there is the vine of Sodom, an evil shell. And there is also a foreign vine, the daughter of a foreign god. This is why it writes, \u201cThis vine,\u201d implying that it is the Nukva, who is called \u201cThis,\u201d the one who is called, \u201cEntirely a seed of truth,\u201d as it is written, \u201cYet I planted you a choice vine, entirely a seed of truth.\u201d The choice vine are Israel, who come out of this vine. When Israel sinned and left this vine, it is written, \u201cFor their vine is of the vine of Sodom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
601) It is written, \u201cShe is not afraid of the snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet.\u201d The sentence of the wicked in Hell is twelve months\u2014half in the heat of a blazing fire, and half in snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
602) When they walk into the fire they say, \u201cThis must be Hell.\u201d When they walk into the snow they say, \u201cThis is the great chill of the Creator\u2019s winter.\u201d In the beginning, they say, \u201cHurray,\u201d since they are glad that they were rid of the Hell. But later, when they realize that it is a Hell of snow, they say, \u201cWoe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
David said, \u201cHe brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, and He set my feet upon a rock.\u201d From the place where \u201cHurray\u201d is said first, and \u201cWoe\u201d next, the \u201cmiry\u201d has the letters Vav-Hey Vav-Yod [in Hebrew]. Vav-Hey mean \u201cHurray\u201d and Vav-Yod mean \u201cWoe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
603) When their souls are complemented in the Hell of snow, as it is written, \u201cWhen the Almighty scattered the kings there, it was snowing in Zalmon,\u201d they can think that Israel, too, are sentenced in snow. It is written about that, \u201cShe is not afraid of the snow for her household,\u201d since \u201call her household are clothed with scarlet.\u201d Do not call it \u201cscarlet\u201d with a Shin with Kamatz [Heb: Shanim], but Shnayim [two], with a Shin with a Shva, an open Nun, and a Yod with Hirik. In other words, circumcision and exposing, Tzitzit and Tefillin, Mezuzah and a Hanukah candle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thus, the quick to perform the Mitzvot [commandments] have twofold Mitzvot, since in the circumcision, they have circumcision and exposing; in the prayer, they have Tzitzit and Tefillin; and in their doorposts, they have the Mitzvot of Mezuzah and a Hanukah candle. For this reason, they do not fear the Hell of snow, which comes for laziness and idleness in the Mitzvot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
604) \u201cShe is not afraid of the snow for her household\u201d is the assembly of Israel. \u201cAll her household are clothed with scarlet\u201d is a clothing of harsh judgement, to avenge the idol worshipping nations. It is written, \u201cWho is this who comes from Edom, with garments of glowing colors from Bozrah?\u201d The Creator is destined to wear a red garment and a red sword and to avenge Edom [red], Esau. The red garment is as it is written, \u201cGarments of glowing colors.\u201d A red sword is as is written, \u201cThe sword of the Lord is filled with blood.\u201d To avenge Edom is as is written, \u201cFor the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We should also interpret, \u201cFor all her household are clothed in scarlet.\u201d Since the Nukva comes from a harsh judgement, she does not fear snow, as snow is male judgments, and judgments of Nukva are opposite from the male judgments and cancel them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
605) \u201cAll her household are clothed in scarlet.\u201d Scarlet are early years, the seven Sefirot HGT NHYM, since she comprises all of them and sucks from all the sides, as it is written, \u201cAll the rivers go to the sea.\u201d This is why she does not fear the judgments, which are snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
606) While Rabbi Yehuda and Rabbi Yitzhak were walking, they met a child who was walking to Kaputkia behind a donkey, and an old man was riding it. The old man said to the child, \u201cSon, tell me your verses.\u201d The child told him, \u201cI have many verses, not one, but either you come down or I will ride with you before you and will tell you.\u201d The old man replied, \u201cI am old and you are a child; I do not wish to equal myself to you.\u201d The child told him, \u201cThen why did you ask me for verses?\u201d He told him, \u201cSo we would walk together on the way.\u201d The child said, \u201cDamned be that old man, who is riding and knows nothing, and says that he does not wish to equalize with me.\u201d He parted from that old man and walked on his way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
607) The child approached them. They asked him and he told them the story. \u201cYou did well. Walk with us and we will sit here and hear a word from you.\u201d He told them, \u201cI am tired for I have not eaten today.\u201d They took out bread and gave to him. A miracle happened to them and they found a little stream under a tree. He drank from them; they drank and sat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
