This is why it is written, \u201cGod understood her way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two kinds of screens: lock and key. The lock was established in GAR from the Chazeh and above, and the key was established as VAK, from the Chazeh and below. It is written, \u201cIn the sea is Your way, and Your path is in great water.\u201d From the Chazeh of ZA and above, the big ZON, it is established in the lock, called \u201cpath.\u201d Hence, it is not known; the Hassadim in it are not revealed. From the Chazeh and below, it is established in the key, called \u201cway.\u201d Hence, it is known and the Hassadim appear through illumination of Hochma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is written, \u201cGod understood her way,\u201d as it is written, \u201cAnd the Lord God built the rib,\u201d the oral Torah, in which there is a way, the Nukva from the Chazeh of ZA and below, of which it is written, \u201cAnd the Lord God built.\u201d That is, He built her in Mochin of GAR because she was established in the key, as it is written, \u201cIn the sea is your way.\u201d This is why \u201cGod understood her way.\u201d God is Bina that returned to being Hochma. \u201cUnderstood\u201d means the influence of Bina. \u201cHer way\u201d is the key, by which she becomes worthy of receiving GAR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it is written, \u201cAnd He knew her place.\u201d What is her place? It is the written Torah, ZA, the great ZON above the Chazeh, where there is Daat. It is so because ZA was not established in a road, but in a path, in the lock. This is why it is the middle line, called Daat, deciding between Hochma and Bina by the abundance of his Hassadim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>202) HaVaYaH Elokim is the full name, to correct the Nukva in everything. This is why the Mochin of the Nukva are called HB, since it was built by the full name in everything, in the wholeness in the two names. HaVaYaH is Hochma and Elokim is Bina. Through them she is established in everything in perfection, in illumination of Hochma\u2014extending from the name Elokim\u2014and in illumination of Hassadim\u2014extending from the name HaVaYaH, in the wholeness in the two names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is written, \u201cGod understood her way.\u201d This is illumination of Hochma that is extended from Bina, who is called Elokim. \u201cHe knew her place\u201d is illumination of Hassadim that is extended from Abba through ZA, called Daat, which is HaVaYaH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>203) The rib is a Menorah [lamp] that does not illuminate, Malchut, as it is written, \u201cBut when I limp, they rejoice.\u201d Limping [Tzela means \u201climping\u201d as well as \u201crib\u201d] comes from shattering and disaster. Likewise, the rib here implies a lamp that is not illuminating, that needs correction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The words \u201cThe rib, which He took from the man, into a woman\u201d mean that He took the Malchut from the written Torah, ZA, because she is the one who emerges from the Malchut in the written Torah into a woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The words \u201cInto a woman\u201d indicate tying her with the flame of the left side, since the Torah, ZA, was given from the side of Gevura. That Gevura is connected to the Nukva, Ishah [woman], with the letters Esh [fire] Hey [the letter], indicating that the fire of Gevura will be connected to the letter Hey, the Nukva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>204) \u201cAnd brought her to the man,\u201d since the Nukva must not be alone. Rather, she must be included and connected with the written Torah, ZA. Once the Nukva has connected with ZA, he will nourish her, correct her, and give her what she needs, as it is written, \u201cand the earth,\u201d where the Vav [and] of \u201cand the\u201d indicates ZA who is giving her abundance, called \u201cnourishments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>205) \u201cHe who marries his daughter.\u201d As long as she did not enter her husband, her father and mother correct her and give her everything she needs. Once she has connected with her husband, the husband nourishes her and gives her what she needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the beginning, it is written, \u201cAnd the Lord God built,\u201d when AVI corrected her. Subsequently, it is written \u201cAnd brought her to the man,\u201d to connect with one another, to join one with the other one, and the husband will give her what she needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>206) \u201cGod understood her way.\u201d When the daughter is in her mother\u2019s house, the mother looks each day into everything her daughter needs. \u201cAnd God,\u201d Ima [mother], \u201cunderstood her way,\u201d the Nukva\u2019s. After her husband marries her, he gives her everything she wants and corrects her needs. That is, the husband knew her place, watching over her once she has married him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>201) It is written, \u201cGod understood her way, and He knew her place,\u201d as it is written, \u201cAnd the Lord [&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-12029","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 Lord God Built the Rib<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"&quot;And the Lord God Built the Rib&quot;
