It is written about it, \u201cNeither has the eye seen a God besides You, will do for the one who awaits Him.\u201d \u201cNeither has the eye seen a God besides You\u201d is the hidden light. \u201cWill do for the one who awaits Him\u201d are the righteous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>177) By what will one be rewarded with that hidden light? He will be rewarded with it through engagement in Torah, since anyone who engages in Torah each day will be rewarded with a part in the next world. It will be considered for him as though he built worlds, since the world was built and perfected with the Torah, as it is written, \u201cThe Lord established the earth with wisdom, set up the heaven with intelligence,\u201d the wisdom and intelligence of the Torah. It is also written, \u201cAnd I was with Him as a master craftsman,\u201d meaning that the Torah was His craft for creating the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Creator made the world with spirit, and the world persists with spirit, by the spirit of those who study the Torah. It is even more so concerning the breath of the mouths of young students\u2014the world stands and persists on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>178) \u201cHow abundant is Your goodness, which You have concealed for those who fear You; You have wrought for those who take refuge in You, against the sons of men.\u201d \u201cHow abundant is Your goodness\u201d indicates the good that was hidden, the hidden light. \u201cFor those who fear You\u201d means it was hidden for those who fear sin, who engage in Torah. \u201cYou have wrought\u201d indicates the works of the work of creation, which was made and exists for those who study Torah, who draw the hidden light by their Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou have wrought\u201d relates to the Garden of Eden, since in craftsmanship has the Creator made the lower Garden of Eden in the earth equal to the merit of the upper Garden of Eden, so the righteous can be strengthened there. \u201cYou have wrought for those who take refuge in You, against the sons of men,\u201d since the lower Garden of Eden is against people, and the upper Garden of Eden is for the upper holy ones and not for people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The words \u201cYou have wrought\u201d relate to the upper Garden of Eden. Still, it is considered against people because there the righteous gather, meaning those who do their Master\u2019s will. In other words, although the upper Garden of Eden is not for people, the righteous in the lower Garden of Eden still rise in the air to the upper Garden of Eden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They fly in the air from there and rise up to the seminary of the firmament, in that Garden of Eden of above. There they fly and bathe in the dew of the rivers of pure persimmon, and come down and stay below in the lower Garden of Eden. And because the righteous rise up and gather there, although they must return and descend to their place, because of it, it is still considered against people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>179) \u201cAnd the heaven and the earth were completed, and all their hosts.\u201d \u201cCompleted\u201d means that the works of above and the works of below were completed and finished. The heaven and earth indicate above and below: the heaven is above, in the upper worlds, and the earth is below, in the lower world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe heaven\u201d indicates that the actions and craftsmanship in the written Torah, in the construction of ZA, were over. \u201cThe earth\u201d indicates that the actions and craftsmanship in the oral Torah, in the building of the Nukva, were concluded. Actions mean VAK, and craftsmanship means GAR. \u201cAll their hosts\u201d means the details in the Torah, the seventy faces of the Torah, which are the specifics of the construction of ZA, who is called \u201cTorah.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd the heaven and the earth were completed\u201d indicates that both ZA and Nukva, called \u201cheaven and earth,\u201d existed and were completed by one another. Heaven and earth are specific and general, ZON. ZA is the specific, since the Mochin emerge in it specifically, one at a time, and he gives them to the Nukva in whole, all at once. They need each other and are completed from one another in the specific that needs the whole, and the whole that needs the specific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And all those hosts are the secrets of Torah, the purifications in the Torah, and the impurities in the Torah, meaning rules of purity and impurity that are written in the Torah. The army of letters has the words Tze, Bo [Tzava (army)], where Tze [leave] implies the impurities, and Bo [come] implies the purities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>176) The Creator created man in the world and corrected him so he would be whole in his work and [&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-12024","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 | And the Heaven and the Earth Were Completed<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"&quot;And the Heaven and the Earth Were Completed&quot;
