And who gave them the Torah here, since thus far the Torah has not been given to them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>346) They went out to the desert to look, and the Creator took the brightness of the glory from there. They went to observe it but did not find it. The Creator is called \u201cTorah,\u201d hence there is no water but the Torah, and there is no Torah but the Creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>347) While they were walking in the desert, another authority appeared over them, that of the rest of the nations. This is the one who governs the desert, and he met them there. Israel saw that he was not the brightness of the glory of their King, as it is written, \u201cWhen they came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter\u201d [<em>Mar<\/em>&nbsp;means \u201cbitter\u201d in Hebrew], and their souls were not perfumed as in the beginning. Moreover, he came to slander them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>348) It is written, \u201cAnd he cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree.\u201d But there is no tree but the Torah, as it is written, \u201cShe is a tree of life to them that have a hold of her.\u201d Also, there is no Torah but the Creator. And there is no tree but the Creator, as it is written, \u201cFor man is the tree of the field.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tree of the field is surely a field of trees of holy apples. This field is&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, the tree of the field is&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, her husband, and when the brightness of the glory of the King appeared on them, then it is written, \u201cHe threw it into the waters, and the waters became sweet.\u201d \u201cThe waters became sweet\u201d means that the slandering became advocacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because it is written, \u201cThe Lord showed him a tree,\u201d meaning the Creator, and the brightness of His glory returned upon them, then why did He also throw it into the water? After all, water is the Creator, too. This is as was said, that the accuser became an advocate, since the&nbsp;<em>Sitra Achra<\/em>&nbsp;that was in the water slandered them, and has now become an advocate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>349) In the beginning, when Israel came into the covenant of the Creator, they did not come in properly, since they circumcised but they did not expose. Thus, the holy impression was not revealed. When they arrived here at Marah, it is written, \u201cThere He made for them a statute and regulation, and there He tested them.\u201d This means that there Israel came into both holy parts,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>, that they were rewarded with them through circumcision and exposure. In disclosure, when their impression was revealed, they were called \u201cStatute and regulation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This statute is&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;and indicates the circumcision. This law is&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>, implying the&nbsp;<em>Mochin<\/em>&nbsp;that appear through the exposure, which is called \u201cstatute.\u201d Because it is a law, the test is pertinent, as it is written, \u201cFor it is a statute for Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>345) \u201cAnd they went three days in the desert and found no water.\u201d There is no water but the Torah.
