388) \u201cWhile the king was at his table, my perfume gave forth its fragrance.\u201d So are the ways of the Creator. When a person clings to Him and He instills His Shechina in him, and He knows that he will later sin, He moves ahead and takes his fragrance from him, taking him from the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
389) \u201cWhile the king\u201d is the Creator. \u201cAt his table\u201d is that person who has clung to Him and follows His ways. \u201cMy perfume gave forth its fragrance\u201d are the good deeds in him, for which he passes away from the world prematurely, so as to not spoil them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
390) King Solomon said about that, \u201cThere is vapor that is done on the earth, for there are righteous to whom comes as it comes for the deeds of the wicked, and there are wicked to whom comes as it comes for the deeds of the righteous.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere are righteous to whom comes as it comes for the deeds of the wicked.\u201d This is for the good deeds that they did. The Creator takes them from the world and executes judgments on them\u2014although it is not yet their time\u2014so they would not corrupt their deeds. \u201cAnd there are wicked to whom comes as it comes for the deeds of the righteous,\u201d meaning that the Creator is patient and prolongs their time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are so they would not sin and corrupt their good deeds, hence judgments come to them as with the deeds of the wicked, and those are in order for them to return to Him in repentance, or because good sons should emerge from them. For this reason, He waits for them and is patient, and they receive as though for the work of the righteous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
391) Enoch was righteous. The Creator saw him, that he would sin later, and took him before he sinned, as it is written, \u201cAnd to gather lilies.\u201d Because they emit fragrance, the Creator takes them before they sin, as it is written, \u201cAnd Enoch walked with God, and he was gone,\u201d since God took him. \u201cGone\u201d means that he was not to have a long life, like his contemporaries, who lived long lives, since the Creator took him before his time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
392) The Creator took Enoch from the earth, raised him to the high heaven, and placed in his hand all the high treasures and forty-five keys of the secrets of engravings that the high angels were using; they were all given to him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
