Hence, when Jacob wished to depart from the world, he lowered his legs to the bed, the Nukva, and was gathered and departed from the world, meaning rose for MAN and was included in a coupling of ZON. It is written about it, \u201cAnd he perished and was gathered to his peoples.\u201d It does not mention death in regard to him, since he rose and was included in the upper life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>806) David said, \u201cMy soul longed and even yearned for the courts of the Lord.\u201d Why was he not longing for the house of the Lord, but for the courts of the Lord? There are lower sections in BYA, and there are higher sections in Atzilut. The souls are not present in the higher ones, since the souls are present in BYA. These sections are the inner houses in Atzilut and the outer houses in BYA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The outer ones in BYA are called \u201cthe courts of the Lord\u201d because they are in love and craving for the Nukva. This is why David said, \u201cYearned for the courts of the Lord,\u201d since the souls do have a grip in more than BYA, who are called \u201cthe courts of the Lord.\u201d However, when BYA rise to Atzilut, the souls of the righteous rise with them, too. When the soul rises, all the armies of BYA awaken and rise to the Nukva, since the Nukva unites through their rise to her, in a complete desire for ZA, and connects with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>807) Jacob did not die. Hence, no death is mentioned in regard to him, but \u201cAnd he perished and was gathered to his peoples.\u201d \u201cAnd gathered his feet into the bed\u201d is the Nukva, like the sun, who is Jacob, sets [the Hebrew writes \u201cgathered\u201d] to the moon, Nukva. The sun does not die, but is gathered from the world and goes to the moon. As the light of the sun does not depart from the world during the evening, but rather subsequently gives its light in the moon, when Jacob departed, he rose for MAN to ZON and illuminated in Nukva of ZA. His light is not cancelled; hence it is considered that he did not die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>808) When Jacob was gathered, the moon illuminated and the craving of the upper sun, ZA, awakened toward her. This is so because when the sun, Jacob, rises, another sun, ZA, awakens. ZA clings to the Nukva, and the moon\u2014Nukva\u2014illuminated from ZA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>809) The upper one, the male world, Bina, was tied to the lower one, the female world, Nukva of ZA, and the lower one was tied to the upper one. Through Jacob\u2019s ascent for MAN upon his demise, Bina and Nukva connected, meaning ZON rose to AVI, and then the great coupling to beget the souls was done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>810) They are two worlds, as it is written, \u201cFrom the world and unto the world,\u201d Bina and Nukva. And although they are two females\u2014for Bina is a female, too\u2014one is corrected in the male, Bina, who is regarded as a male when she is in Gadlut. And the one in Nukva is the Nukva of ZA. One is called Sheva [seven], meaning Bina, and one is called Bat Sheva [daughter of seven], the Nukva. One is a mother and the other is a mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe mother of the sons\u201d is Bina, as it is written, \u201cGo forth, O daughters of Zion, and gaze upon King Solomon with the crown with which his mother has crowned him.\u201d \u201cUpon King Solomon,\u201d the king that all of peace is his, meaning ZA, whose mother, Bina, is the mother of the sons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solomon\u2019s mother is the Nukva, as it is written, \u201cBat-Sheva the mother of Solomon,\u201d meaning the Nukva, since here it does not say King Solomon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>811) It is written, \u201cSolomon\u2019s wisdom excelled.\u201d Solomon\u2019s wisdom is Solomon\u2019s mother, the Nukva, as it is written, \u201cThe words of Lemuel king of Massa, whose mother tormented him.\u201d \u201cThe words of Lemuel king\u201d are words that were said to God, a King, of whom it is written, \u201cAnd a God who has indignation every day,\u201d and also, \u201cAnd God Almighty,\u201d the Nukva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>812) \u201cLemuel\u201d means \u201cto God.\u201d \u201cLemuel king\u201d is Bat-Sheva, the Nukva. \u201cMassa, whose mother tormented him\u201d is when it appeared to him in Givon in the night\u2019s dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>813) Jacob was gathered to the moon, the Nukva. Upon his demise, he rose for MAN to ZON and bore fruits in her, meaning caused the coupling of ZON in Gadlut for begetting souls, which are called \u201cthe fruits of ZON.\u201d There is no generation in the world without the fruits of Jacob\u2014the great souls born from the coupling of ZON of Gadlut that Jacob caused upon his ascent for MAN. This is so because he evoked the awakening of the upper one for coupling ZON, as it is written, \u201cAnd he gathered his feet to the bed,\u201d which is certainly Jacob\u2019s bed, the Nukva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>814) Happy is Jacob, who was completed above and below, as it is written, \u201cYou, fear not, O Jacob My servant, for I am with you.\u201d It did not say, \u201cFor you are with Me,\u201d but \u201cFor I am with you,\u201d meaning he was complemented below as well, for the instilling of the Shechina.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>805) \u201cAnd gathered
