When He has mercy over Israel, He forces the quality of judgment and brings it down and has pity on them, as was said, the Creator brings two tears down to the great sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the second restriction&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;rose to&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;as the letter&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;that entered the&nbsp;<em>Ohr<\/em>&nbsp;[light] and became&nbsp;<em>Avir<\/em>&nbsp;[air]. Thus, the light of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;became&nbsp;<em>Avir<\/em>&nbsp;because of&nbsp;<em>Malchut\u2019s<\/em>&nbsp;judgments that entered her.&nbsp;<em>Avir<\/em>&nbsp;means&nbsp;<em>VAK<\/em>&nbsp;without a&nbsp;<em>Rosh<\/em>&nbsp;[head], and two kinds of judgments were made in&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;by&nbsp;<em>Malchut\u2019s<\/em>&nbsp;ascent:&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;that is mingled with&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, where at the time of&nbsp;<em>Gadlut<\/em>, the illumination from&nbsp;<em>AB<\/em>&nbsp;<em>SAG<\/em>&nbsp;brings down the&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;back to her place. It turns out that the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;departs the&nbsp;<em>Avir<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;returns to being light, which means&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>. In this way, when the&nbsp;<em>Katnut<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Gadlut<\/em>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;are made, it is also made in&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>Mochin<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>&nbsp;emerge in&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When He has pity over Israel, He forces the quality of judgment, which is&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;that rose to&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, and brings her down to her own place and has pity on them. At that time, the&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>&nbsp;come out in&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, in&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, and in the souls of Israel below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, the Creator brings two tears down to the great sea,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, two kinds of judgments:&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;that is mingled with&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;that is mingled with&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>. It is not clear why they are called tears, meaning that it is not clear that the judgment in them is judgment, due to the mixture of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tears indicate mixture, from the words, \u201cRaising the&nbsp;<em>Meduma<\/em>&nbsp;[teary],\u201d where the judgment in them is unclear. This is because even at the time of&nbsp;<em>Katnut<\/em>, when the light of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;becomes&nbsp;<em>Avir<\/em>&nbsp;and the light of&nbsp;<em>ZON<\/em>&nbsp;becomes&nbsp;<em>Avir<\/em>&nbsp;because of them, too, and the shell of Ov wishes to cling to judgments, he is told that he was lying and his words are false. In other words, he is denied, and it is said of these two judgments that they are not judgment, thus removing him from clinging to them. It follows that the judgment in them is not so clear, which is why they are called&nbsp;<em>Demaot<\/em>&nbsp;[tears], from the words, \u201cmixture of judgment\u201d that it is not so clear that it is judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>343) We do not follow the shell of Ov, meaning we bring no evidence from the shell of Ov that because we deny before him saying that there is no judgment in them and we distance him, it is evidence that the judgment in the two tears is unclear. This is not so. Rather, the judgment in the two tears is clear: In the ten&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>&nbsp;of the king, there are two tears for the Creator and two qualities of judgment, one that is extended from the mixture of&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, and one that is extended from the mixture of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The judgment comes from both. Thus, the judgment in them is clear, and when the Creator remembers His sons, He brings them down to the great sea, the sea of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, to sweeten them. Thus, the&nbsp;<em>Katnut<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;comes out in&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Afterwards,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;can receive the&nbsp;<em>Gadlut<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Ima<\/em>, too, for the mother lends her clothes to her daughter. At that time&nbsp;<em>Malchut\u2019s<\/em>&nbsp;quality of judgment becomes the quality of mercy, meaning she receives&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>. And He has pity on them, on Israel, so they receive&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The judgment comes from the two tears from which the tears come. At their root, the two tears in&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;that are made by the ascent of&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;to her are not clear judgment. Rather, other tears extend from them to the place of&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, and the judgment comes from these tears in&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. And the judgment comes from the two tears from which the tears come in&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>344) It is written, \u201cThe Egyptians were traveling after them.\u201d This is the minister of Egypt. It means that he was still established when Israel departed Egypt. It is written, \u201cThe king of Egypt died,\u201d which is the minister of Egypt. This was prior to Israel\u2019s exit from Egypt. There is no contradiction here. Rather, it even supports the interpretation in the verse, \u201cThe king of Egypt died,\u201d since here it writes, \u201cBehold, the Egyptians,\u201d and there it writes, \u201cThe king of Egypt died.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This teaches that now, after the exodus from Egypt, there was no king, since he has already been brought down from his greatness. This is why it writes, \u201cBehold, the Egyptians,\u201d and does not write, \u201cBehold, the king of Egypt.\u201d And when it is written that he died, it is not that he was completely annulled, but that he was brought down from greatness and could no longer do harm, as it is written, \u201cFor all the men that sought your life are dead,\u201d meaning they can no longer harm. Here, too, \u201cDied\u201d means no longer being able to harm, since he was brought down from his greatness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>345) All the kings of Egypt are named, \u201cPharaoh.\u201d And here it is only written, \u201cThe king of Egypt died.\u201d It is not written, \u201cPharaoh, king of Egypt.\u201d This is because it is about the minister of Egypt. Had it written, \u201cPharaoh,\u201d instead, it would be the actual Pharaoh and not the minister of Egypt. As long as there is government above, in the minister of the people, there is government in the people below. When the government above is removed from the people\u2019s minister, the government below is removed, as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>342) Come and see the Creator\u2019s mercy.
