We should regard everything because there is nothing in the Torah that is not implied in the high, holy Name, and there is nothing in the Torah that does not contain several secrets, reasons, roots, and branches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>252) Anyone who wages a war in the Torah is rewarded with much peace at the end of his words. All the wars in the world are strife and destruction, and all the wars of the Torah are peace and love, as it is written, \u201cTherefore, it is written in the book of the Wars of the Lord, \u2018Vahev in Suphah,\u2019\u201d meaning love in&nbsp;<em>Sophah<\/em>&nbsp;[at its end], that there is no love and peace but that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>253) It is written about it in the book of the wars of the Lord. What is in the book? The Creator has a place, called \u201ca book,\u201d which is&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. All the powers and all the deeds that the Creator does depend upon and stem from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>254) \u201cVahev in Suphah.\u201d All the powers and all the mighty deeds that the Creator does depend on that book, on&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. The Creator fights His wars in one place at the end of the degrees, and it is called \u201cVahev\u201d [and give], as it is written, \u201cThe leech has two daughters: Hav, Hav\u201d [Hebrew: give, give]. The place of punishments is beneath&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, in Suphah [also means \u201cend\u201d in Hebrew], the end of the degrees.&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;is called&nbsp;<em>Yam Suf<\/em>&nbsp;[Red Sea]\u2014the&nbsp;<em>Yam<\/em>&nbsp;[sea] that is the&nbsp;<em>Sof<\/em>&nbsp;[end] of all the degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>255) \u201cAnd the streams of Arnon.\u201d And with the streams that were found and extended to the&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, which is \u201cVahev in Suphah,\u201d from the high place called Arnon, which is the upper coupling of love, which never parts, the coupling of upper&nbsp;<em>AVI<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is written, \u201cAnd a river went out of Eden.\u201d The river is&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;and Eden is&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, and they are called&nbsp;<em>AVI<\/em>. Arnon comprises the letters&nbsp;<em>Ohr<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Nun<\/em>, meaning the&nbsp;<em>Ohr<\/em>&nbsp;[light] of the&nbsp;<em>Nun<\/em>&nbsp;(fifty) gates of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>. By that, the roots strike roots and the branches of&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;grow to wage wars in every place, to perform powerful and mighty deeds, and to show the greatest and most cherished government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>256) When&nbsp;<em>Gevurot<\/em>&nbsp;and wars of the Creator awaken, several litigants awaken to each side. Then spears, which are judgments of the right side, and sharp swords, which are judgments of the left side, evoke&nbsp;<em>Gevurot<\/em>. The sea rages, its waves rise and fall, and the ships that go and sail at sea depart to every side. The war is sharp with ballistae, and spear and sword carriers. And then it is written, \u201cYour arrows are sharp,\u201d and the Creator grows strong with His powers to evoke war. Woe unto those upon whom the Holy King evokes war. Then it is written, \u201cThe Lord is a man of war.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>257) \u201cThe Lord is a man of war.\u201d From these letters emerge rows of warriors for those wicked, those enemies who sinned against the Creator. Then the meaning of the letters appears to those who possess the truth, and matters become lucid and clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>258) \u201cThe Lord is a man of war, The Lord is His name.\u201d \u201cThe Lord is a man of war\u201d means&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>. \u201cThe Lord is His name\u201d is&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. Everything depends on that book, which is&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cThe heavens shall reveal his iniquity\u201d\u2014<em>ZA<\/em>&nbsp;is called \u201cheaven\u201d\u2014 \u201cAnd the earth shall rise up against him\u201d\u2014<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;is called \u201cearth.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>251) We should regard the words of the Torah.
