It is so because in all the degrees preceding Nukva, the word Yehi [let there] indicates diminution and the fall of the three vessels Bina and TM to the degree below. However, the vessels did not fall outside of Atzilut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the Nukva, which is the lowest of all the degrees of Atzilut, when it was said Yehi, and her vessels fell, they fell below the Parsa of Atzilut, to the separated BYA. This is why by that fall the shells and the wicked serpent were created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why it is written Meorot [lights] without Vav, which means curses. The serpent caused the earth to be cursed, as it is written, \u201cCursed is the ground.\u201d The serpent incited toward the sin of the tree of knowledge for which the earth was cursed. This is why it is written Meorot [lights] without Vav, indicating that curse that the earth was cursed because of the serpent, which was created by the diminution of NHY. This is also why it is written in the Torah Meorot without Vav, which is the word \u201ccurse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>162) \u201cAnd let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth.\u201d \u201cAnd let them be for lights\u201d lacks Vav, which means one light, the light of the moon. The words \u201cfirmament of the heaven\u201d mean the light of the sun. Both are included as one because it is written, \u201cAnd let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,\u201d indicating that the sun and the moon make a coupling, to illuminate the worlds above Chazeh of ZA and below Chazeh of ZA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason why it is written, \u201cTo give light upon the earth,\u201d and not \u201cTo give light in the earth\u201d is so it is heard, so it shines above and below, indicating that they all calculate according to the moon. According to what has been clarified, the words \u201cAnd let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven\u201d indicate the coupling of the sun and the moon, ZON above the Chazeh and below Chazeh of ZA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, it should have written, \u201cto give light in the earth,\u201d as it is written, \u201cin the firmament of the heaven,\u201d which means that it makes a coupling below Chazeh of ZA, too, where there is the lower Nukva, called \u201cearth.\u201d And why does it write, \u201cupon the earth,\u201d which means that the coupling is only above, in the firmament of the heaven, in the place of the Parsa from the Chazeh of ZA and above, called \u201cfirmament,\u201d and from there the illumination is extended to the earth, below the Chazeh, but there is no coupling in the earth itself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It indicates that they all calculate according to the moon, since the Mochin of counting and numbering of all the degrees emerge by the coupling of the sun and the moon. There is Mochin that are light of Hassadim. These are considered \u201cnumberless.\u201d There are Mochin of illumination of Hochma, which are called \u201cnumber\u201d and \u201ccalculation.\u201d Also, ZA has two females, above the Chazeh, moon, David\u2019s Malchut, and below the Chazeh, earth, Rachel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That coupling, which illuminates the Mochin of the count, is only in the moon, in a coupling of ZON from the Chazeh and above, where the Nukva is called \u201cmoon,\u201d but not in the Nukva from the Chazeh and below, called \u201cearth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it was said that the sun and moon make a coupling in order to light up the worlds, above Chazeh of ZA and below Chazeh of ZA, it means that the two females of above, the moon, and of below, the earth, are included in one another. At that time, the illumination arrives above and below. But the heart of the coupling is only in the moon, in the Nukva above the Chazeh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>163) Gematria and counting of times and conceptions of the year. The Mochin of the calculation and counting are all in the moon, above which there is no coupling for illumination of Mochin of the calculation and counting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But how is everyone\u2019s calculation in the moon? Is there no Mochin and calculation and number in the degrees above the moon? It means that the coupling of the Mochin of calculation is in the moon, and not in any other degree. However, from there a person comes to obtain Mochin of calculation in the degrees above the moon, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the Mochin of illumination of Hochma are called \u201cMochin of calculation,\u201d they emerge in Bina once she returns to Rosh AA and become Hochma in it. Still, the Mochin do not appear in Bina, as she is always in light of Hassadim. Even ZAT of Bina are only light of Hassadim, and there is not the place for revealing the Mochin of illumination of Hochma. Rather, Bina gives these Mochin to ZA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, ZAT, too, is entirely corrected in Mochin of upper AVI, which are covered Hassadim and in which there is no room for disclosing these Mochin. Only ZA gives them to his Nukva, and in her they appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why Nukva is called \u201cbottom Hochma,\u201d indicating that the Mochin of illumination of Hochma do not appear in any degree but that. Thus, these Mochin emerge in ZAT of Bina, which ZA receives from her, and gives them to the Nukva, meaning to the Nukva below the Chazeh when she is completely integrated in the Nukva above the Chazeh, called \u201cmoon,\u201d and then both are called \u201cmoon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The place for revealing the Mochin of calculation is only in the moon, and not in the degrees preceding it. However, once these Mochin have emerged and appeared in the moon, they necessarily appear in all the degrees preceding it, since from them the moon received these Mochin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But before they are revealed in the moon, they are completely unattained although they have already emerged in the previous degrees, since there is no room in them for disclosing these Mochin. But once they appear below, in the moon, they are all completed by this disclosure in her, since once they appear in the moon, they can be attained in the previous degrees, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it is written, \u201cand let them be for signs, and for seasons,\u201d in plural form. Does this mean that in both appear the Mochin of calculation, even in ZA, the sun? \u201cFor signs\u201d is written without Vav, indicating singular form, which applies only to the moon, and not to the sun, since the Mochin do not appear in it. And the words \u201clet them\u201d is written in plural form. It does not apply to the sun and the moon, but to the HaVaYot [pl. of HaVaYaH] of the Mochin, for all the HaVaYot are in the moon, who is like a ship filled abundantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>164) There is one point, and from there is the beginning of Mochin of count and calculation. She is AA, who is therefore called Resheet [beginning]. And what is before that point, above AA? It is not known at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a point above that is concealed, that is not revealed at all, Bina of AA, with respect to its essence that is clothed in upper AVI, and the Yod never leaves their Avir. But from there is the beginning to count and to reveal all that is hidden and profound, ZAT of Bina of AA that are clothed in YESHSUT, which rise to Rosh AA and give illumination of Hochma, called Mochin of count and calculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, they still do not appear in YESHSUT, as they are considered Bina, who is essentially Hassadim. In the point below, in the revealed Nukva of ZA, there begins the disclosure of all the Mochin of calculation and numbering, for above the moon there is no disclosure of Mochin of calculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, here is the place of illumination of Mochin for all the times, the Gematria, conceptions, times, festivals, and Sabbaths. And Israel\u2014who cling to the Creator\u2014calculate. That is, they extend Mochin of calculation for the moon, as we learn that Israel count by the moon, and the nations of the world by the sun. They raise it up, to clothe upper Bina, as it is written, \u201cAnd you who cling to the Lord your God are alive every one of you this day.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>161) The words \u201cLet there be lights\u201d come to include the wicked serpent that cast filth and caused separation, so [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":11820,"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-12020","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-zohar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kabbalah | Lights without Vav<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"&quot;Lights without Vav&quot;
