Anyone who engages in multiplication causes that river, Yesod of ZA, to always be springing. Its waters do not cease, and the sea, Malchut, is filled on all sides. And new souls are renewed and come out of that tree, and many hosts multiply above, with those souls, to keep them, as it is written, \u201cLet the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures.\u201d This is the token of the holy covenant, the river that stretches and comes out of Eden, whose waters swell and swarm with swarms and multiplication of souls for that animal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is so because by the awakening below, he awakens above and causes the coupling of the Creator and His Shechina [Divinity]. Then the river, Yesod of ZA, will always spring with MAD, and its waters will never cease from bestowing upon the Nukva. And the sea, Nukva of ZA, will be filled on all sides, from the side of the coupling, to revive the worlds, and from the side of begetting souls. And new souls are renewed and come out of that tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is, not actually new souls, but old souls that have already been in Adam HaRishon and fell from him due to the sin of the tree of knowledge. They are renewed by that tree, ZA. They are called \u201cnew souls\u201d since actual new souls come to the world only after the end of the correction of the sin of the tree of knowledge. And many hosts are emanated above with those souls, since with each soul, several angels emerge. Also, in couplings to revive the worlds, angels come out, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is written, \u201cLet the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures.\u201d This is the token of the holy covenant, the river that stretches and comes out of Eden, since swarming with living creatures implies to Yesod of ZA, who is called \u201cthe token of the covenant.\u201d This is a river that stretches and comes out from ZA, clothing AVI, Eden, to water the garden, his Nukva. \u201c\u2026whose waters swell and swarm with swarms,\u201d meaning with the couplings of VAK, which are called \u201cswarms.\u201d This is the meaning of \u201cSwarm with swarms.\u201d With respect to the couplings of GAR for begetting souls, it was said, \u201cAnd multiplication of souls\u201d for that animal. And she is the one who is called \u201cLiving creature\u201d [also \u201cliving soul\u201d in Hebrew].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>220) Several birds, angels, come out with those souls that enter that animal, Malchut. They fly and roam throughout the world, and when a soul comes out to this world, the bird that flew comes out with her and comes out with the soul from that tree. How many angels come out with each soul? Two\u2014one on the right, and one on the left. If he is rewarded, they guard him, as it is written, \u201cFor He will give His angels charge over you, to keep you.\u201d And if not, they slander him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rabbi Pinhas said, \u201cThree angels protect a person when he is rewarded, as it is written, \u2018If there is an angel as an advocate for him, one out of a thousand, to speak of a person\u2019s uprightness.\u2019 \u2018If there is an angel\u2019 is one, \u2018an advocate\u2019 is two, \u2018one out of a thousand, to speak of a person\u2019s uprightness\u2019 is three.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>221) Rabbi Shimon said, \u201cThey are five angels, for it is also written, \u2018And let him pardon him, and say, \u2018Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.\u2019\u2019 \u2018And let him pardon him\u2019 is one; \u2018And say\u2019 is two, thus five.\u201d He replied to him, \u201cThis is not so. Rather, \u2018And let him pardon him\u2019 is the Creator alone, and not an angel, for none other has permission to pardon him except Him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with the souls, several angels are born and emerge. They are called \u201cbirds,\u201d and they assist the souls to sentence to the side of merit, or to the contrary\u2014they slander them and push them toward the side of fault. They fly and roam throughout the world and see the Creator\u2019s guidance on all the people in the world, how they are governed by Him, and they notify the soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the soul is rewarded, it sentences itself and the whole world to the side of merit. If she is not rewarded, she shifts sentences and the entire world to the side of fault. This is why he asks, \u201cHow many angels come out with each soul?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rabbi Pinhas does not dispute Rabbi Shimon, saying that only two birds are born with the soul. Instead, he says that as long as he has only those two birds, he cannot sentence himself to the side of merit completely, but is thrown from judgment to mercy and from mercy to judgment. However, through good deeds, a third angel is born to him, and then he is rewarded with sentencing to the side of merit. This is why he said that three angels protect a person\u2014when he is rewarded\u2014since he cannot be rewarded if not by three angels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>222) One who refrains from multiplication diminishes the form that includes all the forms, the human form, and causes the arresting of the water of that river\u2014Yesod of ZA, blemishing the holy covenant on all the sides. It is written about him, \u201cThen they will go forth and look on the corpses of the men who have transgressed against Me.\u201d Indeed \u201cMe,\u201d and this concerns the body, but his soul does not enter the screen at all, the domain of the Creator, and he is expelled from the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Malchut is called \u201ca form.\u201d It contains all the forms because all the forms of NRN of the righteous and the angels of the three worlds BYA are drawn by her. Those are her troops and armies. Hence, one who does not engage in multiplication diminishes the image of Malchut and detains her from bringing out all her troops and armies, since the awakening from below evokes a corresponding awakening from above, causing a coupling of the Creator and His Shechina, to beget NRN and angels in BYA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One who refrains from multiplication causes the water of that river, Yesod of ZA, to not be drawn out. It causes Yesod of ZA to not give MAD to the holy Shechina, blemishing the holy covenant in all the phases in it, as it detains the two forms of coupling, from the side of VAK and from the side of GAR. It is written about it, \u201cThen they will go forth and look on the corpses of the men who have transgressed against Me,\u201d since the commandment of multiplication permanently enhances his soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, by that he defeats his body forever, so it will be at the revival of the dead. And one who does not engage in multiplication makes his body like a corpse, his soul will not enter the domain of the Creator, and he is repelled from the next world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>219) The sixth commandment is to engage in multiplication.
