485) \u201cAnd a river came out of Eden to water the garden.\u201d This river is the flowing of the spring that always comes out and never stops. The whole of the Garden of Eden is watered by the river of that fountain. That river of the holy fountain is called \u201cfather\u201d because it flows to nourish the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the part of their emanation, ZON<\/em> are unfit to receive the upper light because Malchut<\/em> of the first restriction governs them. To be fit for reception of the light, Bina<\/em> raised this Malchut<\/em> to her, and through this ascent became fit to receive the light. Because of this correction, the name HB<\/em> in Bina<\/em> has been changed to AVI<\/em>, and ZON<\/em> are considered their children, since they are established and care for the correction of ZON<\/em> as a mother and father for the children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Malchut\u2019s<\/em> first ascent to the place of Bina<\/em> was in Rosh<\/em> AA<\/em>. Due to this ascent, Bina<\/em> came out of Rosh<\/em> AA<\/em>, and this is why AA<\/em> is called Resheet<\/em> [beginning\/Rosh<\/em>], as it is written, \u201cAnd a river came out of Eden.\u201d Eden is Hochma<\/em> of AA<\/em>. The river is Bina<\/em>, which came out of the Rosh<\/em> and became Guf<\/em> of AA<\/em> without a Rosh<\/em> in order to water the garden, to give light to the Malchut<\/em>, for had it not been for that raising, Malchut<\/em> would never be able to receive light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hochma<\/em> of AA<\/em> is called Eden. This is the fountain. Bina<\/em>, who comes out of it, is called \u201cflowing\u201d and is called \u201ca river.\u201d This Bina<\/em> is considered a father because she received the Malchut<\/em> into her and was diminished by her into a Guf<\/em>, to correct her. For this reason, HB<\/em> in her is regarded as AVI<\/em>, since she cares for the correction of the garden, Malchut<\/em>. This is why she is considered a father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 486) Eden is considered a father because Eden is extended from a place called \u201cnaught,\u201d Keter<\/em> of AA<\/em>, in which there is no attainment whatsoever. The beginning of the disclosure for the correction of Malchut<\/em> in Bina<\/em> was made in Rosh<\/em> AA<\/em>, who is called Eden. This is the reason why AA<\/em> is called Resheet<\/em>, and this is why he is called \u201cfather.\u201d The place from which everything begins to extend is called \u201cyou\u201d and is called \u201cfather,\u201d as it is written, \u201cFor You are our Father.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 487) \u201cHonor your father and your mother.\u201d \u201cHonor your father\u201d is the Creator, ZA<\/em>. \u201cAnd your mother\u201d is the Assembly of Israel, Malchut<\/em>. \u201cYour father,\u201d Et<\/em> [comes between \u201chonor\u201d and \u201cyour\u201d in Hebrew], comes to include the upper Shechina, who is the Nukva<\/em>, who stands from Chazeh<\/em> of ZA<\/em> and above. Simply \u201cHonor your father\u201d and simply \u201cYour mother,\u201d since everything is counted. That is, they imply to both HB<\/em> and ZON<\/em>, for Et<\/em> comes to include all that is above and below, both AVI<\/em> and ZON<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 488) The place from which everything is first extended is called \u201cYou.\u201d The one who is hidden and in whom there is no beginning to the giving of the Mochin<\/em> is called \u201cHe,\u201d which is a word for hidden. The place from which the beginning of giving of Mochin<\/em> comes is called \u201cYou,\u201d and it is called \u201cfather,\u201d and it is all one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 489) Indeed, it is all one. \u201cHonor your father\u201d is the Creator, ZA<\/em>. \u201cAnd your mother\u201d is the Assembly of Israel, Malchut<\/em>. It is written, \u201cYou are the children of the Lord your God,\u201d meaning that place which is called \u201csons,\u201d which are ZON<\/em>. This is why he hid the matter, \u201cHonor your father and your mother\u201d to include everything, meaning AVI<\/em> above and below, to include in it his plenty which he brings to the life of the next world, and it includes the Creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 490) Everything is included in the five commandments on the right. The other commandments, on the left, were engraved in those five commandments, five within five. How so? \u201cI am the Lord your God\u201d corresponds to \u201cYou shall not Kill.\u201d Those two are included in one law, for one who kills diminishes the likeness and image of his Master, as it is written, \u201cFor in the image of God has He made the man.\u201d It is also written, \u201cAnd on the likeness of the throne, a likeness as the appearance of a man.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 491) It is written, \u201cWhoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood shall be shed.\u201d One who sheds blood, it is as though he diminishes the likeness and image above. That is, he did not diminish that likeness of the lower one, but another likeness. In the upper man, that flaw comes from the blood that he shed, since it is written, \u201cFor in the image of God has He made the man.\u201d This is why they are interdependent, \u201cI am the Lord your God\u201d depends on \u201cYou shall not kill.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 492) \u201cYou shall have no other gods\u201d corresponds to \u201cYou shall not commit adultery.\u201d The adulterer lies in the name of the Creator, which is inscribed in man. Several sins and sentences and punishments depend on that: One who lies in that, lies in the king, as it is written, \u201cThey have betrayed the Lord, for they have borne foreign children.\u201d It is also written, \u201cYou shall not bow to them or serve them.\u201d They are interdependent: \u201cYou shall have no\u201d depends on \u201cYou shall not commit adultery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 493) You shall not take the name of the Lord\u201d corresponds to \u201cYou shall not steal.\u201d It is written, \u201cHe who shares with a thief hates his own soul; he hears the oath but tells nothing.\u201d Indeed, one depends on the other because it happens to the thief that he swears falsely; one who does this, does that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 494) Remember the Sabbath day\u201d corresponds to \u201cYou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.\u201d Sabbath is called \u201ctestimony.\u201d One must testify about what is written, \u201cFor in six days the Lord made,\u201d and Sabbath includes everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is written, \u201cLet truth be given to Jacob,\u201d is as it is written, \u201cAnd the sons of Israel shall keep the Sabbath.\u201d One who bears false witness lies on Sabbath, which is a true testimony, and one who lies on Sabbath lies in the whole of the Torah. For this reason, \u201cRemember\u201d depends on \u201cYou shall not bear.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 495) \u201cHonor your father\u201d corresponds to \u201cYou shall not covet your neighbor\u2019s wife.\u201d \u201cHonor your father\u201d means actually your father, for one who covets a wife and bears a son, that son honors another, who is not his father. It is written, \u201cYou shall not covet your neighbor\u2019s house, his field,\u201d and here it writes in regard to \u201cHonor your father,\u201d \u201cOn the land which the Lord your God gives you.\u201d This means that the one who gives to you will be yours, and you will not covet another. Indeed, \u201cHonor your father\u201d depends on \u201cDo not covet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 496) The five other commandments are included in those first five commandments on the right. This is why it is written, \u201cOn His right was a fiery law,\u201d for everything was made right. This is why the Torah was given in five voices. All ten commandments were five within five, and five books of Moses corresponding to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 497) All the Mitzvot<\/em> [commandments] of the Torah, the sentences, and the punishments were engraved in these ten commandments: purity and impurity, branches and root, trees and plantings, heaven and earth, seas and deeps, since the Torah is the name of the Creator. As the name of the Creator was engraved in the ten commandments, the Torah was engraved in the ten commandments. The ten commandments are the name of the Creator, and the whole Torah is one name, literally the holy name of the Creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 498) Happy is one who has been rewarded with her, for one who has been rewarded with the Torah, has been rewarded with His holy name. He has been rewarded with the actual Creator, for \u201cHe is One and His name One.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 485) \u201cAnd a river came out of Eden to water the garden.\u201d This river is the flowing of the spring […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":11434,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"topic":[28],"class_list":["post-11496","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-zohar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
