When a small Aleph is written, it implies the Nukva only, the Shechina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, \u201cAnd He called unto Moses, and spoke unto him out of the tent of meeting, saying&#8230;\u201d The tent of meeting is the Nukva. Thus, the speaking was only from the Nukva. This is why it is written with a small Aleph, since small letters indicate Nukva, regular ones, ZA, and big ones, Ima, or the wholeness of male and female together, which is only through Ima.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>613) Also, it is like a king who sat on his throne with his crown on him. He is called \u201cthe High King.\u201d And when he comes down and goes to his servant\u2019s house he is called, \u201ca small king.\u201d So is the Creator. As long as He is above everything, he is called \u201ca High King.\u201d When he lowers his abode below, to the tabernacle, He is a king, but He is no longer as superior as before. This is why it is written with a small Aleph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>614) \u201cAnd He called\u201d means that He called him and summoned him to His palace from the tent of meeting, a tent on which the count of the seasons, holidays, and Sabbath hang, as it is written, \u201cAnd let them be for signs, and for seasons.\u201d In it is the calculation of the counting. Also, she is the moon, the Nukva, and all the changes of regular days, seasons, holidays, and Sabbaths, come from changes in the stature of her Mochin. The Nukva is called \u201ca tent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>615) \u201cAnd the Lord spoke to Moses, saying\u2026\u201d \u201cSaying\u201d means revealing what was hidden inside. Wherever it writes, \u201cSaying,\u201d it means that permission has been given to reveal. However, the disclosure is given into the hands of the moon, the Nukva, from the place where Moses, ZA, stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>616) \u201cAnd the Lord spoke\u201d is above, Bina. \u201cTo Moses\u201d is in the middle line, ZA, since Bina imparts to ZA, and \u201cSaying\u201d is the last one, the Nukva, who receives from ZA, the place where there is permission to reveal\u2014the revealed world\u2014since the Hochma appears only in her and not in the Sefira above her. Hence, the word, \u201cSaying\u201d relates to her, and implies revealing what was hidden inside, revealing what is hidden above her, which is considered internality with respect to the Nukva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also written, \u201cAnd they brought the tabernacle to Moses.\u201d \u201cTo Moses,\u201d since Moses saw it in the mountain, since the Creator showed him the vision, as it is written, \u201cAs it was shown to you in the mountain.\u201d It is also written, \u201cAccording to the vision that the Lord had shown Moses.\u201d Hence, now they brought him the tabernacle, to see if it is like that other tabernacle that he saw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>617) However, why, \u201cAnd they brought the tabernacle to Moses\u201d? Why did Moses not go to the tabernacle? It is similar to a king who wished to build a palace for the queen. He commanded the craftsmen: \u201cThis palace in this place; that palace is in that place; a place for the bed, and a place for rest.\u201d Once the craftsmen made it, they showed it to the king. Similarly, \u201cAnd they brought the tabernacle to Moses,\u201d the master of the house, the man of God. This is why Moses did not go to the tabernacle, but they brought the tabernacle to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the palace was completed, the queen invited the king to the palace, meaning she invited her husband the king to be with her. This is why \u201cAnd He called unto Moses\u201d is with a small Aleph, the Nukva, since she called unto Moses, ZA, her husband, to be with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>618) And because Moses, the master of the house, ZA, is the queen\u2019s husband, it is written, \u201cAnd Moses used to take the tent,\u201d Nukva, \u201cAnd pitch it outside the camp,\u201d which no person is permitted to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>619) \u201cAnd the Lord spoke to him,\u201d another degree, a high one, Bina, since \u201cAnd He called\u201d is the Nukva, \u201cUnto Moses\u201d is Tifferet, and \u201cThe Lord spoke\u201d is Bina. Then, when Moses was summoned to come into the Nukva, Bina started and said, \u201cWhen any man of you brings an offering,\u201d since Bina is the one who speaks. What is \u201cman\u201d here? It would have been enough to say, \u201cWhen one of you makes an offering\u201d or \u201cOne who makes an offering.\u201d However, when the sun and the moon conjoined, meaning TM, Bina started and said to them, \u201cMan.\u201d And then both of them were called \u201cMan,\u201d in singular form, as it is written, \u201cThe sun and the moon stood.\u201d He does not say \u201cstood\u201d in plural form [in Hebrew], since the text speaks of a time when they are in a coupling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>620) \u201cWhen any man of you brings an offering unto the Lord.\u201d Anyone who performs the work of making a complete offering will be a male and a female, meaning he will be married to a wife. This is the meaning of the words \u201cOf you,\u201d that it will be in your vision. In other words, Bina said to TM, which is Moses, who is called \u201ca man.\u201d \u201cBrings an offering\u201d means who will be an offering from among you, a male and female, like you. \u201cAn offering\u201d means uniting as one above and below. This is why he first says, \u201cAn offering to the Lord,\u201d unifying from below upwards, and then he says, \u201cYour offering,\u201d unifying from above downwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>621) \u201cYou shall bring your offering of the cattle, of the herd, and of the flock.\u201d \u201cOf the cattle\u201d is to show the unification of man and cattle. The offering to the Lord is man, the unification from below upwards. And from him it is extended below, which is \u201cYour offering of the cattle.\u201d These two unifications shine together. \u201cOf the herd and of the flock\u201d are the pure Merkavot [chariots\/assemblies]. When he says, \u201cOf the cattle,\u201d one might think this means any beast, pure or impure, hence he repeats and says, \u201cOf the heard and of the flock.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>622) \u201cYou shall make your offering.\u201d Should he not have said, \u201cHis offering\u201d? However, first, there must be an offering to the Lord, and then your offering. \u201cAn offering to the Lord\u201d is the unification called \u201cman,\u201d when Nukva must be raised for a coupling from Chazeh of ZA and above, which is called Adam [man\/Adam]. \u201cYour offering of the cattle, of the herd, and of the flock\u201d is to draw the illumination of the coupling from the Chazeh and above to the lower ones from the Chazeh down, to show the unification from below upwards and from above downwards. From below upwards it is an offering to the Lord, and from above downwards it is your offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>623) It is like a king who sits on the top of a very high mountain and the throne is set up on that mountain. The king who sits on the throne is superior to all. A man who offers a gift to the king should bring it up degree-by-degree until he raises it from below upwards to the place where the king sits, above everything, and then it becomes known that the gift is being raised for the king and that gift is the king\u2019s. When a gift descends from above downwards, it is known that that gift of the king descends from above to the king\u2019s loved one below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>624) Similarly, in the beginning, a person ascends in his degrees from below upwards, and then he is called \u201cAn offering to the Lord.\u201d \u201cOf the cattle, of the herd,\u201d he descends in his degrees from above downwards and then he is called \u201cYour offering.\u201d This is why it is written, \u201cI have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk,\u201d meaning man and an offering to the Lord, since the Creator says, \u201cI have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk.\u201d \u201cEat, friends,\u201d is \u201cOf the cattle, of the herd, and of the flock,\u201d and then make your offering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>612) He also said that in the calling to Moses, the small Aleph is the Shechina, and in the words,
