147) \u201cAnd God said, \u2018Let there be light,\u2019 and there was light.\u201d This means that the Creator uprooted these plantings from their place and planted them elsewhere. This is the meaning of the words \u201cLet there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ZON are called \u201cplantings,\u201d the tree of life. As long as they were in their place, prior to the ascent of Malchut to Bina, ZON were unfit to receive any light. Therefore, He uprooted them from their place, raised them, and planted them in the place of Bina where they became fit to receive the upper light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We learn it from the words \u201cLet there be light\u201d where the letters Yod-Hey of \u201cLet there\u201d are AVI, and the last Hey of Yehi [let there] implies the entrance of the Yod to the light of AVI, making them Avir [air]. By that, ZON connected to AVI and became fit to receive the light from them, a light that preexisted, for it is written, \u201cLet there be light.\u201d It is not written, \u201cAnd there was,\u201d but \u201cBe [is] light,\u201d meaning that it already existed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the Creator looked at the wicked generations that were unworthy of light, He concealed it for the righteous ones, as it is written, \u201cA light is sown for the righteous.\u201d That is, the light is concealed and sown so only the righteous will receive it, and not the wicked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is written, \u201cAnd God said, \u2018Let there be light.\u2019\u201d The words \u201cLet there\u201d indicate the concealment of the light because Yod-Hey of the word Yehi [let there] is the light of AVI, and the last Yod of Yehi implies the entrance of the Yod to the light, making it Avir. This is considered concealing and sowing of the light for the righteous, as it is written, \u201cWho has awakened from the east, justice will call him to His feet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is so because through the entrance of the Yod to the light of AVI, the letters ELEH of Elokim descended from AVI to ZON, and only the letter MI of Elokim remained in AVI. By that, ZON became fit to receive the light of AVI. It follows that the two letters MI of AVI are the root of all the Mochin of ZON, as it is written, \u201cWho has awakened from the east.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the east means ZA, and justice means Malchut. The two letters MI awakened the Mochin for ZA from the east, and to Malchut, justice. Awakened means the beginning of the awakening of Mochin, since only the beginning of the Mochin comes through MI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
148) \u201cAnd God saw the light that it was good.\u201d The Creator saw the works of the wicked and concealed it. It is not that He saw the works of the wicked, but that He saw by the greatness of the light itself that it was better to conceal it and never let it be revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd God saw the light\u201d means He saw that it illuminated from the end of the world to its end, and that it was better to conceal it so the wicked of the world would not enjoy it, for if the wicked would enjoy that great light, they would not approach repentance. It is similar to the verse \u201cLest he reached out his hand, and took also from the tree of life, and ate, and lived forever.\u201d The meaning of the verse is that he will no longer have a need or a drive to repent, and the flaw he had caused in the tree of knowledge would not be corrected. This is why He expelled them from the Garden of Eden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
149) \u201cAnd God saw that light, that it was good.\u201d He saw that there would not be vexation and judgments in it. It is written here, \u201cThat it was good,\u201d and it is written about Balaam, \u201cIt is good in the eyes of the Lord to bless Israel.\u201d As there the meaning is that there will not be a curse over Israel, so here the meaning is that there will no longer be any vexation and judgments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The end of the verse proves it, for it is written, \u201cAnd God separated between the light and between the darkness.\u201d This indicates that He separated the dispute between right and left so that all will be in wholeness. Similarly, the beginning of the text also concerns the canceling of the anger and vexation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And although the Creator associated the light and the darkness\u2014right and left\u2014as one through the middle line, the vexation and dispute were canceled nonetheless. This is why it is written, \u201cAnd God saw the light that it was good,\u201d and there is no anger and vexation in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
150) The upper illumination, Bina, is to have this light illuminating, and from the light, joy is extended to all. It is right, which is crowned in carving of the carvings of the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the left shines without association of the right, it illuminated in vexation and anger, and Hell came out of it. This is considered that carvings were made in the illumination of the left line. By that, the right line obtained the power to connect to it the left line, using the middle line, and the right line was crowned in the illumination of Hochma on the left line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is written, \u201cHow abundant is Your goodness, which You have concealed for those who fear You.\u201d \u201cAbundant is Your goodness\u201d refers to the first light, which the Creator concealed. \u201cFor those who fear You\u201d means for the righteous, who fear sin, so only they will enjoy the light, and not the wicked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
