The lower water begot what they received from the upper water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is written, \u201cand let birds hover above the earth.\u201d It should have written, \u201cAnd let birds fly\u201d; why is it written \u201chover\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>166) It is so because the words \u201cand let birds hover above the earth in the firmament of the heaven\u201d implies the creation of the angels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Birds are Michael, of whom it is written, \u201cflew,\u201d as it is written, \u201cthen one of the seraphim flew unto me,\u201d which is Michael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWill hover\u201d is Gabriel, of whom it is written, \u201cfly swiftly,\u201d in double wording [\u201cswiftly\u201d also means \u201cin flight\u201d], as it is written, \u201cThe man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the earth is Elijah, who is always on the earth. Nukva of ZA is called \u201cearth,\u201d and Elijah is extended from Nukva of ZA and is always with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elijah is not from the side of AVI, since he flew in four flights because the angels on the part of AVI fly and roam the world in six flights, since AVI are HBD HGT through Chazeh of AA, six Sefirot, with six flights opposite them. However, Elijah does not fly six flights, but four, indicating that he is from the Nukva, from the Chazeh and below, where there are only four Sefirot NHYM, opposite which are only four flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is written about Elijah, \u201cAnd the spirit of the Lord will carry you where I do not know.\u201d \u201cThe spirit of the Lord\u201d indicates one flight. \u201cWill carry you\u201d is the second flight; \u201cwhere\u201d is the third, and \u201cI do not know\u201d is the fourth flight. Thus, he flew in four flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>167) The words \u201cover the face of the firmament of the heaven\u201d indicate the creation of the angel of death. It is implied in the words \u201cover the face,\u201d since he darkens the face of the world, and also because it is written about him, \u201cAnd darkness was in the face of the abyss.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The words \u201cthe firmament of the heaven\u201d are as it is said in&nbsp;<em>The Zohar<\/em>, that the angel of death ascends to the heaven and slanders, that he is Satan, the evil inclination, the angel of death. He is called Satan because he ascends to the heaven and Mastin [slanders]. And he is called \u201cthe angel of death\u201d because afterwards he takes one\u2019s soul. This is why it was said about the angel of death, \u201cover the face of the firmament of the heaven,\u201d for his way is to slander in the heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But on the second day, the angel of death was created, so why is it said that the words \u201cover the face of the firmament of the heaven,\u201d said on the fifth day, indicate the creation of the angel of death? Indeed, \u201cover the earth\u201d in the verse indicates the creation of Angel Raphael, who is appointed over the healing of the earth, and thanks to whom the earth was healed. A person can understand it, and he heals the full force of the earth. And since the healing of the earth comes from him, his creation was implied in the words \u201cover the earth.\u201d And the words \u201cover the face of the firmament of the heaven\u201d are written about the creation of Angel Uriel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Angel Raphael is the carrier of the screen of Nukva, called \u201cearth.\u201d The entire level of the light that the earth needs comes out on that screen, so that a person can receive from it the Mochin. It follows that through the screen of Raphael, the earth was healed from being in Tohu veBohu because it re-obtained the Mochin through him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Angel Uriel is Tifferet, ZA. Michael is Hesed, Gabriel is Gevura, and Uriel is Tifferet. Hence, the creation of Raphael is implied in the words \u201cover the earth\u201d since the screen is the Nukva, called \u201cearth,\u201d and Uriel is implied in the words \u201cover the face of the firmament of the heaven\u201d because he is ZA, called \u201cfirmament of the heaven,\u201d since the firmament of the heaven is the sun, ZA, called \u201csun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of them, all four angels, carriers of the Merkava [chariot\/assembly], are implied in the verse. Michael is implied in the word \u201cbirds,\u201d Gabriel in the words \u201cwill hover,\u201d Raphael in the words \u201cover the earth,\u201d and Uriel in the words \u201cover the face of the firmament of the heaven.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>168) This is why it is written, \u201cAnd God created the great crocodiles and every living soul that creeps.\u201d The great crocodiles imply high-ranking ministers, seventy appointees, ministers of seventy nations. This is why they were all created, to rule over the earth. It is written about them, \u201cgreat,\u201d not \u201cthat creeps,\u201d since they were created to rule the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>169) \u201cAnd every living soul that creeps\u201d implies the creation of the Nefesh of Israel, who are certainly the Nefesh of that animal, Nukva of ZA, called \u201canimal.\u201d It is so because the whole of the world of Atzilut is regarded as light of Haya [animal], and the five Partzufim of Atzilut are regarded as NRNHY of the light of Haya, where AA is Yechida of Haya, AVI is Haya of Haya, YESHSUT is Neshama of Haya, ZA is Ruach of Haya, and Nukva is Nefesh of Haya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And because Israel extend from the Nukva of ZA, their Nefesh is also regarded as Nefesh of Haya. This is why they are called \u201cone nation in the earth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is written, \u201cwith which the waters swarmed after their kind.\u201d This indicates those who engage in Torah, since there is no water but the Torah. Through the engagement in Torah, they are rewarded with a living soul. If a person does not engage in Torah, he does not have a holy soul, and if he does engage in Torah, he is rewarded with that living soul, as it is written, \u201cand every winged bird after its kind,\u201d implying the righteous among those who engage in Torah. And because they are righteous, they were rewarded with a living soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>170) \u201cA living soul\u201d is written about Israel, since they are the children of the Creator, and from Him their holy souls come. From where do the souls of the other, idol-worshipping nations come? They have souls from those forces of the left that defile them. This is why they are all impure and defile all who come near them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>171) \u201cAnd God said, \u2018Let the earth bring forth the living souls after its kind, beast, and creeping things, and animals of the earth after their kind.\u2019\u201d It is written about the rest of the animals, besides Israel, that each of them receives according to its kind. This applies to the end of the verse \u201cbeast, and creeping things, and animals after their kind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is evidence that \u201cliving soul\u201d is written about Israel, who have a high and holy living soul, while the words \u201cbeast, and creeping things, and animals of the earth\u201d relate to the other, idol-worshipping nations, who are not living souls. Instead, they extend from the forces of the left, which defile them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>165) \u201cLet the waters swarm with swarms of living souls.\u201d These lower waters teemed and begot, like the upper water.
