663) Zebulun and Issachar made a condition between them: Issachar will sit and contemplate the Torah, and Zebulun will go out and engage in trade and will support Issachar, as it is written, \u201cThey who support it are happy.\u201d He would travel by sea and trade, and so was his share, for the sea was his inheritance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
664) This is why he calls him, \u201cthigh,\u201d as it is written, \u201cAnd his flank shall be toward Tyre\u201d [\u201cflank\u201d and \u201cthigh\u201d contain the same letters]. This is so because it is the custom of a thigh to come and go, as it is written, \u201cRejoice, Zebulun, in your going forth, and Issachar, in your tents.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cZebulun will dwell by the shore of the seas,\u201d by those sea goers, to trade. Although only the great sea was in his inheritance, it still writes, \u201cseas,\u201d since he was between two seas\u2014the great sea and the Sea of Galilee\u2014although his inheritance did not stretch as far as the Sea of Galilee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
665) All the traders of the rest of the seas were wooing merchandise in his sea. This is why it writes, \u201cBy the shore of the seas,\u201d in plural form. \u201cAnd his flank shall be toward Tyre.\u201d But the boundary of Tyre was far from the boundary of Zebulun? His thigh reaches the boundary of Tyre, a narrow streak of land, like a thigh, extended from the part of Zebulun and stretched through the boundary of Tyre. Thus, the boundary of Zebulun stretched through the boundary of Tyre. And there was the place of trading, since all the traders come and go to that place with their merchandise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
666) It is written, \u201cNeither shall you lack the salt of the covenant of your God from your offering. With all your offerings you shall offer salt.\u201d Why is salt so important? It is because it cleanses and perfumes the bitter, and makes it tasty. Salt is judgments in the screen of Hirik, on which the middle line emerges, which unites the right with the left. It cleanses, perfumes, and sweetens the judgments of the left, which are bitter, with the Hassadim on the right line. Had there not been salt, the middle line would not have been extended and the world would not have been able to tolerate the bitterness, as it is written, \u201cFor when Your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is the law of Tifferet\u2014the middle line from the Chazeh upwards\u2014that the judgments in the screen in it are called \u201csalt.\u201d Justice is the bitter judgments in Malchut, and when the law, which is salt, is to the earth, the Nukva, they \u201clearn righteousness,\u201d so they can accept the bitterness of justice. It is also written, \u201cRighteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne,\u201d where righteousness is complemented through the justice, the salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
667) Salt is a covenant, Yesod, middle line, from the Chazeh down, on which the world (Nukva) persists, as it is written, \u201cIf My covenant for day and night stands not, I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth.\u201d And because the middle line, Yesod, emerges on it, the salt is called \u201cthe covenant of your God,\u201d since Yesod is the covenant, and we call it the Sea of Salt [a.k.a. The Dead Sea], where the sea, the Nukva, is named after the salt that sweetens it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
668) It is written, \u201cFor the Lord is righteous, He loves righteousness.\u201d This is the salt, which is Yesod, at sea, which is Malchut. Righteous is Yesod; righteousness is Malchut, and one who separates them brings death upon himself. This is why it is written, \u201cNeither shall you lack the salt of the covenant of your God from your offering,\u201d so you will not separate the Yesod, which is salt, from the offering, the Nukva. One does not go without the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
669) The sea is one, and it is called \u201cseas\u201d in the text. \u201cZebulun will dwell by the shore of the seas\u201d because there is a place in the sea that is pure water, there is a place of sweet [a.k.a. fresh] water, and there is a place where there is bitter water. And because there are different places, it is called \u201cseas.\u201d This is why it is written, \u201cBy the shore of the seas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each tribe, each one is a tie from among those ties that connect to the body of the Nukva. For this reason, there are different places in the Nukva, who is called \u201csea,\u201d according to the tribe that is related to there. For this reason, the Nukva is called \u201cseas,\u201d in plural form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
672) It is written about Rahab, \u201cGive me a true token and spare my father and my mother.\u201d She wanted the sign of life, as it is written, \u201cAnd spare my father and my mother.\u201d She said that the sign of life is found only in a true token, which is the letter Vav of HaVaYaH, Tifferet, since in it is life. She wanted the sign of Moses, Tifferet, so why did they give her the hope of a scarlet thread, as it is written, \u201cBind this hope of scarlet thread,\u201d which is a sign of Joshua, Malchut?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
673) They said, \u201cSince Moses passed away from the world because the sun had set,\u201d meaning Tifferet, Moses, \u201cHad set, it is time for the moon to rule. For this reason, the sign of the moon,\u201d Malchut, the hope of the scarlet thread, the sign of Joshua, Malchut, \u201cWill be with you, since now it is the governance of the moon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
674) All of Jacob\u2019s sons were twelve tribes, and they were set up below the same as above, as twelve ties in the HG NH of Nukva. And why did he always precede Zebulun to the blessings before Issachar? After all, Issachar was the one engaging in Torah, and the Torah is first in every place, in every thing, so why did he put Zebulun first in the blessings?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
675) Zebulun was rewarded with preceding Issachar in the blessings because he took bread out of his mouth and gave it to Issachar\u2019s mouth. Thus, one who provides for one with Torah receives blessings from above and from below. Moreover, he is rewarded with two tables, with which no other person is rewarded. He is rewarded with wealth\u2014blessed in this world\u2014and with having a share in the next world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is written about it, \u201cZebulun will dwell by the shore of the seas, and he is at the shore of the ships.\u201d Since it is written, \u201cBy the shore of the seas,\u201d why does it also write, \u201cThe shore of the ships\u201d? \u201cBy the shore of the seas\u201d is in this world; \u201cAt the shore of the ships\u201d is in the next world, as it is written, \u201cThere the ships go,\u201d said about the great and broad sea, Bina, the next world, for there is the abundance of the next world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
