It means You have raised Your hand, and the left remained by itself and inflicted judgment. When the Creator brought out the Egyptians dead from under the water, He said to the earth, \u201cGather them within you.\u201d And it did not wish to until the Creator stretched His right hand before it and adjured it. Then the earth swallowed them, as it is written, \u201cThe earth swallowed them.\u201d \u201cYou stretched out Your right hand\u201d means separating it from the left, and then judgment is done with the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>328) \u201cIn Your grace You have led the people whom You have redeemed, In Your strength You have guided them to Your holy habitation.\u201d It is written, \u201cBut Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your presence, for You favored them.\u201d \u201cBut Your right hand\u201d is greatness,&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>.\u201d \u201cIn Your strength You have guided them\u201d is as it is written, \u201cYour arm\u201d are&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>. \u201cTo Your holy habitation\u201d is as it is written, \u201cThe light of Your presence, for You favored them.\u201d This is righteous,&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>, and all six&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>&nbsp;are in the text, since&nbsp;<em>HG<\/em>&nbsp;include&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>&nbsp;includes&nbsp;<em>NH<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>329) \u201cTerror and dread will fall upon them.\u201d Terror means the fear of the Shechina, as in \u201cThe fear of God,\u201d which is the Shechina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>330) \u201cYou will bring them and plant them in the mountain of Your inheritance.\u201d \u201cYou will bring them\u201d refers to the spirit of holiness speaking about the last generation that Joshua circumcised, and the revelation of the holy record of the name of the Creator appeared in them. And they cling to it, meaning that&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>&nbsp;and they are worthy of inheriting the land, as it is written, \u201cAnd your people shall all be righteous; they shall inherit the land forever.\u201d This is so because anyone who was circumcised and in whom this holy record appeared\u2014and he keeps it\u2014is called righteous. For this reason, \u201cThey shall inherit the land forever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>331) Hence, \u201cYou will bring them\u201d is with an extra&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;[in Hebrew], which means bring them to those who grip to the&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>. The matter implies those last ones in the days of Joshua. And there is not a single word or a small letter in the Torah that does not have sublime secrets and holy flavors in it.
