By teaching him the way of life, to repent before his Master. Then he becomes his advocate above, and he is saved. What is his reward? It is written, \u201cThe Lord will deliver him in a day of trouble.\u201d And because the reward of one who helps the poor before the Creator is great indeed, it is written, \u201cHappy is he who teaches the poor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>367) It is written, \u201cFor the Lord hears the poor.\u201d Why does He hear the poor and not others? It is because they are closer to the King, as it is written, \u201cA broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise,\u201d and no heart in the world is broken as that of the poor. All the people in the world are seen before the Creator in body and in soul. But the poor appears before the Creator only in a soul, for his body is broken, and the Creator is nearer to the soul than to the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>372) Each day, dew of holy&nbsp;<em>Atik<\/em>&nbsp;drips unto&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, and the whole of the field of holy apples\u2014meaning&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>\u2014is blessed, and that dew is extended to those below. Holy angels feed on it, each according to what he eats, and it is written, \u201cMan did eat the bread of the mighty,\u201d meaning the dew is the bread of angels. And from that food, which is the manna, the children of Israel ate in the desert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>373) How many people feed on it at that time, and who are they? They are the friends who engage in Torah days and nights. Can it be that Israel ate of that very food in the desert? No, but it was like that very food, for it is worth twice as much as the manna that Israel ate in the desert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>374) When Israel came and clung to the holy King, for the disclosure of the holy impression, of the circumcision, they were rewarded with eating another bread, higher than what it was at first. In the beginning, when Israel came out of Egypt, they came with a bread called&nbsp;<em>Matza<\/em>, which is&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And now they were rewarded and entered to eat another bread, higher, from a high place, as it is written, \u201cBehold, I shower you with bread from the heaven,\u201d which is&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>. At that time, it will be found for Israel from that place. The friends who engage in Torah are nourished from another place, higher, as it is written, \u201cWisdom revives its owner,\u201d which is a higher place than&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>375) Hence, why did the soul of those who engage in Torah weaken more than the rest of the people in the world? After all, the rest of the people seem to be stronger and more powerful than those who engage in Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>376) All the food of the people in the world comes from above. That food, which comes from the heaven and from the earth, is the food of the whole world, and it is food for all. This is crude and coarse food. And that food, which comes from a higher place, is finer food. It comes from a place where judgment is present, from&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, and this is the food that Israel ate upon their departure from Egypt, the&nbsp;<em>Matza<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The food that Israel had at that time in the desert, from a high place, is called \u201cheaven.\u201d This is&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, the finer food, which enters the soul more than any other food, and more separated from the body. And it is called \u201cThe bread of the mighty,\u201d&nbsp;<em>MAN<\/em>&nbsp;[manna].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>377) The highest food of all is the food of the friends who engage in Torah, who eat the food of the&nbsp;<em>Ruach<\/em>&nbsp;[spirit] and the&nbsp;<em>Neshama<\/em>&nbsp;[soul], and do not eat the food of the&nbsp;<em>Guf<\/em>&nbsp;[body] whatsoever, from the highest, most distinguished place, called&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;[wisdom]. For this reason, the body of the friends is weaker than that of the rest of the people in the world, since they do not eat the food of the body whatsoever, but eat only nourishments of the spirit and the soul, from the highest, most remote place, which is&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hochma is far, as it is written, \u201cI said, \u2018I will be wise,\u2019 but it was far.\u201d For this reason, that food is the finest of the finest, happy are they. It is written, \u201cWisdom will sustain its owner.\u201d Happy is the body that can feed on the food of the soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>378) But at that time, how are these foods present? The first food is the food of the whole world, that one which comes from heaven and earth. This is the food of the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>379) The upper food, which is finer, comes from the place where judgment is present, which is called&nbsp;<em>Tzedek<\/em>&nbsp;[justice], meaning&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, the food of the poor, a&nbsp;<em>Matza<\/em>, which is called \u201cbread of affliction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One who complements the poor, complements a single letter for&nbsp;<em>Tzedek<\/em>&nbsp;[justice] for him and becomes&nbsp;<em>Tzedakah<\/em>&nbsp;[charity]. This is as it is written, \u201crewarding his soul, a man of&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>&nbsp;[mercy].\u201d Almsgiving indicates that he is in judgment and complements it with&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>, and then he is mercy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>380) Higher food is higher than those is the upper, distinguished food from heaven, from&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, meaning the manna that Israel ate in the desert. It is finer than all, and it is the food of the sick because those sick are nourished only by that very food of the Creator,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>381) Higher, holy and precious food is the food of spirits and souls, the food of the high and remote place,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;that returned to being&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>. It was said about her, \u201cI said, \u2018I will be wise,\u2019 but it was far from me,\u201d from that place that is called \u201cthe pleasantness of the Creator.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>382) The most distinguished of all is the food that the friends who engage in Torah eat, food that comes from high&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, actual&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>. This is because the Torah comes out of the upper&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, and those who engage in the Torah enter the essence of the roots, hence their food comes from the high and holy place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>383) Happy are the righteous who engage in Torah day and night, for it cleanses them in this world and in the next, as it is written, \u201cFor it is your life and the length of your days.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>384) It is written, \u201cYou open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing,\u201d and it is written, \u201cThe eyes of all look to You.\u201d All the people in the world look for and raise their eyes to the Creator. For this reason, each day, all those with faith must ask their food from the Creator and pray their payer over Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>385) What is the reason? It is that anyone who prays his prayer for food to the Creator causes that each day, that tree in which there is the food for all, will be blessed by Him. And even if he has food, he must ask for it from the Creator and pray his prayer for food each day so that through him there will be blessings above, each and every day. This is as it is written, \u201cBless the Lord each and every day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>386) For this reason, one need not cook one\u2019s food from one day to another, so as not to delay from one day to another day, as it is written, \u201cAnd the people shall go out and gather a day&#8217;s portion every day.\u201d Every day is accurate, except from the eve of Sabbath to Sabbath. And then the Creator is full of blessings each day. Then it is written, \u201cYou open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.\u201d What is \u201cdesire\u201d? It is that desire that is found in holy&nbsp;<em>Atik<\/em>, which is&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>. A desire comes out of Him\u2014that there will be food for all. And anyone who asks for food each day is called \u201ca loyal son,\u201d a son for whom there are blessings above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>387) \u201cThe Lord favors those who fear Him, those who await His grace [<em>Hesed<\/em>].\u201d People should walk in the ways of the holy King and walk in the ways of Torah so there will be blessings for all\u2014for the upper ones and for the lower ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>388) It is written, \u201cIsrael, in whom I will be glorified,\u201d since the Creator above is glorified because of Israel below, who raise&nbsp;<em>MAN<\/em>. What is His glory? That he puts on&nbsp;<em>Tefillin<\/em>. In other words, through the&nbsp;<em>MAN<\/em>&nbsp;that Israel raise,&nbsp;<em>Mochin<\/em>&nbsp;come out to&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, who are called&nbsp;<em>Tefillin<\/em>, and the colors to be glorified connect to them. This is so because the four portions are three colors\u2014white, red, and green\u2014that connect to the three lines to illuminate in all the perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>389) \u201cThe Lord favors those who fear Him.\u201d Should it not have written, \u201cThe Lord has favor for those who fear Him\u201d [in Hebrew the two phrases differ, using \u201cof\u201d or \u201cin\u201d]? \u201cThe Lord favors those who fear Him\u201d means that He took out that desire and in it, He desired those who fear Him. And who are those who fear, for whom He took out that desire? It is those \u201cWho await His grace,\u201d those who expect and wait each day to ask for their food from the Creator. This is the meaning of what is written, \u201cWho await His grace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>390) One should not set up one\u2019s meal before one prays his prayer for food before the Creator. The meal is not set up until it is given from the King\u2019s house. After he prays his prayer before the Creator, he should wait one hour and say, \u201cIt is now time for it to be given from the King\u2019s house.\u201d Henceforth, he will set up the meal. This is the way of those who fear the Creator, who fear sin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>391) It is written about those wicked ones who walk in the ways of Torah in twisted roads, \u201cWoe to those who rise early in the morning to pursue strong drink.\u201d It is written about that, \u201cThe Lord favors those who fear Him, those who await His grace.\u201d This is what distinguishes those with faith each day, as it is written, \u201cAnd the people shall go out and gather a day&#8217;s portion every day.\u201d It writes, \u201cEvery day,\u201d and not \u201cEvery day for another day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>392) Why is this so? It is written, \u201cThat I may test them, whether or not they will walk in My law.\u201d Those with faith are recognized by eating. Each day, they walk in the Torah in a straight path. Thus, it is written, \u201cA righteous eats to satiate his soul.\u201d Once he has satiated his soul in prayer and in reading the Torah, he eats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>393) As long as the Creator did not give the Torah to Israel, He distinguished between those with faith and the wicked ones, who did not have faith and had no wish for the Torah. And how did He distinguish them? With&nbsp;<em>MAN<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cThat I may test them.\u201d The Creator inscribed all those who were present, who had faith, in the impression of the&nbsp;<em>Sefira<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cThose who await His grace [<em>Hesed<\/em>].\u201d Hence, \u201cThat I may test them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, He removed this high&nbsp;<em>Sefira<\/em>&nbsp;from all those without faith, and Hamman declared and said, \u201cBut the stomach of the wicked shall go wanting.\u201d And yet, it is written, \u201cHe did not favor the one who did much or deny those who did little.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>394) At that time, Israel below were complemented as above, as it is written, \u201cAnd they came to Elim where there were twelve springs of water and seventy date palms.\u201d Meaning, the holy tree,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, grew stronger in twelve boundaries on the two sides of the world,&nbsp;<em>HG<\/em>&nbsp;<em>TM<\/em>, in three lines on each of the four sides of the world,&nbsp;<em>HG<\/em>&nbsp;<em>TM<\/em>. These are the twelve boundaries, which are twelve springs of water. And he grew stronger in seventy branches, which are seventy ministers, seventy date palms, and all is as it is above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>395) At that time, the holy dew drips\u2014meaning abundance, which is called \u201cdew\u201d \u2014from the concealed&nbsp;<em>Atik<\/em>, which is&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>, and fills the&nbsp;<em>Rosh<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, the place called \u201cheaven.\u201d Of that dew, of the holy, upper light, the manna would be drawn out and come down. When it came down, it scattered like crusts and congealed below, as it is written, \u201cAs thin as frost on the earth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>396) All those with faith would go outside and gather and bless the holy Name for it. And that manna would emit the fragrances of all the perfumes in the Garden of Eden, since it was anointed with it and came down. When one placed it before him, he would taste it as any flavor that he wished to taste, and he would bless the high, holy King.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>397) Then the manna would be blessed in his intestines and he would look and know above, and would observe with the upper&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;[wisdom]. For this reason, they are called \u201cthe generation of knowledge.\u201d Those were the ones with faith, and they were given the Torah, to observe it and to know its ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>398) And those who were not with faith, it is written about them, \u201cThe people became foolish and gathered.\u201d What is \u201cBecame foolish\u201d? They would take foolishness for themselves because they did not have faith. It is written about them, \u201cAnd grinded it between two millstones or beat it in the mortar.\u201d Who made them trouble themselves so hard? It is because they did not have faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>399) Similarly, those who do not believe in the Creator, do not wish to look in His ways. They wish to trouble themselves after food each day, day and night, fearing that perhaps they will have no bread. Who caused them that? It is because they have no faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>400) Here, too, \u201cThe people became foolish and gathered\u201d means that they were made foolish by their own folly, and wished to trouble themselves for it, as it is written, \u201cAnd grinded it between two millstones.\u201d And after all this trouble, they did not succeed. Rather, it is written, \u201cIts taste was as the taste of kneading with oil,\u201d and nothing more. Who caused them that? It is because they had no faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>401) What is \u201cKneading with oil\u201d? Some say that it was kneaded in oil, and some say that as the breast [<em>Shad<\/em>&nbsp;(breast) is part of the word&nbsp;<em>Leshad<\/em>&nbsp;(essence)] changes in several ways, the manna changes into several flavors. That is, they tasted each flavor that they wished to taste in it. The \u201cKneading with oil\u201d means suckling of oil. essence<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>402) \u201cEvery man gathered as much as he should eat.\u201d Did one who eats little gather little and those that more gathered more? It is written, \u201cHe did not favor the one who did much or deny those who did little.\u201d Indeed, they gathered according to what they ate. This is the meaning of the words \u201cshould eat,\u201d meaning those who eat it. This is why it did not say, \u201cEach according to his eating.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>403) Did each one take according to those who ate? If he had a slave or a maidservant and said that they were his, and his friend came and said, \u201cHe is mine,\u201d they approached Moses to sentence. He told them, \u201cHow many people are in your house?\u201d and \u201cHow many people are in this one\u2019s house?\u201d He said this and that. Then Moses told them, \u201cGather tomorrow and let each one come to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next day, they went out, gathered, and came to Moses. They placed the vessel before him and he measured it. If that slave belonged to one, the gathering for the slave was in that vessel, for one would collect for each person in his home. He measured for the other one and the food for the slave was missing in the other one\u2019s vessel, and he would collect one for each person in his household. Then he said, \u201cThis slave belongs to this one,\u201d as it is written, \u201cEvery man gathered as much as he should eat,\u201d and it is written, \u201cgathering according to the number of persons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>404) It is written, \u201cIn the evening, you will know that the Lord has brought you out of the land of Egypt, and in the morning you will see the glory of the Lord.\u201d \u201cIn the evening, you will know.\u201d How did they know? Each day, the conducts of the Creator would come out. In the morning, the&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>&nbsp;awakened in the world. And at that time, which is called \u201cevening,\u201d judgment hangs in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Isaac established the noon-prayer, and Isaac is&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>. Hence, it is written, \u201cIn the evening, you will know.\u201d When judgment awakens in the world, you will know that with this judgment, the Lord brought you out from Egypt. \u201cAnd in the morning you will see the glory of the Lord,\u201d since at that time, the&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>&nbsp;awakens in the world and will give you food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>405) However, it is written, \u201cWould it be that we had died by the Lord&#8217;s hand in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of meat &#8230; for you have brought us out into this desert to kill this whole assembly with hunger.\u201d At that time, the evening awakened, the judgment. And at the time when the judgment awakened,&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>&nbsp;awakened in the world, as well, as it is written, \u201cYou will know that the Lord has brought you out of the land of Egypt.\u201d Know this grace that He had done with you at the time of judgment, and brought you out of the land of Egypt. \u201cAnd in the morning, you will see the glory of the Lord,\u201d which is the&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. Why is it so? Because it is written, \u201cWhen the Lord hears your complaints.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>406) The Creator did not change His ways, making&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>&nbsp;illuminate in the evening. Rather, those wicked in the world change it, reversing mercy into judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>407) From that manna, the righteous are destined to eat in the next world. But is it in the way that Israel ate in the desert? No, but more than them, for it was never in that perfection. What is \u201cthat\u201d? It is as it is written, \u201cAll the days of my life, to behold the pleasantness of the Lord and to visit in His palace.\u201d And it is written, \u201cNeither has the eye seen a God besides You.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>408) \u201cA song of ascents. Out of the depths I have called You, O Lord.\u201d Why does it say, \u201cA song of ascents,\u201d without saying who said it? A song of ascents means that all the people of the world are destined to say it because this song is destined to be said for all eternity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>409) \u201cOut of the depths I have called You\u201d means that anyone who prays his prayer before the holy King must ask his pleas and pray from the bottom of the heart so that his heart will be wholly with the Creator, and he will aim his heart and will, as it is written, \u201cOut of the depths I have called You.\u201d But did David so this? After all, it is written, \u201cWith all my heart I have sought You.\u201d This verse is sufficient, to pray with all of one\u2019s heart, so why the need for \u201cFrom the bottom\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>410) Every person who asks his request of the King must aim his mind and will to the Root of Roots, to extend blessings from the depth of the pit, so that blessings will pour from the fountain of all, which is the place from which that river comes, which is the concealed&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cAnd a river comes out of Eden. \u201cEden\u201d is&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>; \u201criver\u201d is&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;that went out of&nbsp;<em>Rosh<\/em>&nbsp;<em>AA<\/em>, which is the concealed&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is written, \u201cThere is a river whose streams make the city of God glad.\u201d This is called \u201cOut of the depths,\u201d the depth of everything, the depth of the pit from which streams come out and extend from it to bless all. This is the beginning, to extend blessings from above downwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>411) When&nbsp;<em>Atik<\/em>, who is more concealed than all that are concealed, wished to summon blessings for the world, He instilled everything and included everything in that high depth, which is the concealed&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>AA<\/em>&nbsp;in relation to&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;coming out of it. From here, a river, which is&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, draws and continues. Rivers and streams, which are the&nbsp;<em>Mochin<\/em>, come out of it and water everything from it, meaning that all the&nbsp;<em>Mochin<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>ZON<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>BYA<\/em>&nbsp;extend from there. And one who prays his prayer should aim one\u2019s heart and will to extend blessings from the depth of this everything, so his prayer will be accepted and his wish will be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>412) Each day, the world is blessed from that upper day, since every six days are blessed by the seventh day, and each day gives of the blessing he had received on his day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>413) This is why Moses said, \u201cLet no man leave any of it until morning,\u201d since he does not give and does not lend this day to another, but each one rules that day of his by himself, for a day does not rule over the day of another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>414) For this reason, all those five days govern their days and what is present in them is what they received, and the sixth day is more present in it, as it is written, \u201cOn the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two sheafs each.\u201d The sixth day is with the letter&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>, which is not written in the rest of the days. It indicates that the queen, who is called&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>, has bonded with it. And she is called&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;[kingship], to set up a table for the King. This is why there are two parts in it: from itself and from the correction of the King\u2019s joy with the queen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>415) On that night is the joy of the queen with the queen and their coupling, and all six days of each by himself are blessed. For this reason, one must set up one\u2019s table on the eve of the Sabbath, since there are blessings on it from above, and there is no blessing over an empty table. For this reason, the coupling of wise disciples who know that secret is from the eve of the Sabbath to the eve of the Sabbath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>416) \u201cSee, the Lord has given you the Sabbath.\u201d Sabbath is a day on which the rest of the days rest, and it is the inclusion of all those six other days, and they are blessed by it. Also, the assembly of Israel is called \u201cSabbath,\u201d and she is the mate of the Sabbath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a bride, as it is written, \u201cTherefore keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you.\u201d \u201cTo you,\u201d and not to the rest of the peoples,\u201d as it is written, \u201cBetween Me and between the children of Israel, it is a sign forever.\u201d This is the everlasting inheritance for Israel, and this is why it is written, \u201cIf you turn your foot from the Sabbath.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>417) \u201cLet no man move out from his place on the seventh day,\u201d from a place that is worthy of going to, meaning outside the whole of the city. It is written, \u201cBlessed is the glory of the Lord from His place,\u201d which is the&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. This is a place, as it is written, \u201cFor the place in which you stand is holy ground.\u201d This is a known place, called \u201ca place,\u201d for it is known in the upper glory,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>418) For this reason, it is a warning to a man who is crowned with the holy crown above on the Sabbath, to not let any every-day words out of his mouth, since if he lets an every-day word out of his mouth, he is desecrating the Sabbath. The desecration of the Sabbath in his hands is in the doing of labor. In his legs is in walking beyond the two thousand&nbsp;<em>Ammas<\/em>&nbsp;[cubits].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>419) \u201cLet no man move out from his place\u201d is the honorable place of holiness. This is so because outside of it are other gods. \u201cBlessed is the glory of the Lord\u201d is the glory above,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;from the&nbsp;<em>Chazeh<\/em>&nbsp;and above. \u201cFrom His place\u201d is the glory below,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;from the&nbsp;<em>Chazeh<\/em>&nbsp;and below, the crown of the Sabbath, which is called \u201ca place.\u201d This is why it is written, \u201cLet no man move out from his place,\u201d since outside of it, it is other gods. Happy is one who was rewarded with honoring the Sabbath in this world and in the next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>364) When a person lies on a sick-bed, he is caught by the
