1) Happy are Israel who engage in Torah and know the ways of Torah, for which they will be rewarded with the next world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2) All of Israel have a portion in the next world because they keep the covenant on which the world stands, as it is written, \u201cIf My covenant is not day and night, I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth.\u201d They keep the circumcision in Kedusha\u200e [holiness]\u200e, to not defile it with a layer of vain semen and incest. Therefore, Israel\u2014who are keeping the covenant because they have taken it upon themselves\u2014have a portion in the next world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3) Moreover, this is why Israel are called \u201crighteous,\u201d and anyone who keeps the covenant on which the world stands is called \u201crighteous.\u201d From where do we know that? From Joseph. Because he kept the everlasting covenant and did not fail with his master\u2019s wife, he was rewarded with being called \u201crighteous,\u201d as it is written, \u201cAnd Your people are all righteous.\u201d It is also written, \u201cNoah was a righteous man,\u201d that he was keeping the covenant. This is why his generations persisted. And this is why it is written, \u201cThese are the generations of Noah; Noah was a righteous man,\u201d for they are dependent on one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4) \u201cAnd a river comes out of Eden to water the garden.\u201d The river is Yesod, which comes out of Eden, Hochma, and enters the garden, Malchut, watering it with the potion of above and giving it contentment, making fruits and growing seeds. Then there is contentment to all, which is contentment to the garden, which has fruits. It brings contentment to the river, as it is the one that makes the fruits, as it is written, \u201cbecause in it He rested,\u201d in the river, Yesod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is also written, \u201cAnd He rested on the seventh day\u201d in the garden, Malchut. \u201cAnd He rested\u201d comes from the word rest and contentment. This is the Yesod that makes generations; it is the river that comes out of Eden because no other Sefira makes fruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5) Noah below was a holy covenant, like the Yesod of above, the river that comes out of Eden. This is why he was called \u201ca man of the ground,\u201d since the ground is Malchut, and Yesod is Malchut\u2019s man. Noah needed the ark, Malchut, in order to connect in it and sustain the descendants of the entire world, as it is written, \u201cTo keep their descendants alive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6) The ark is the ark of the covenant, Malchut, after she received into her the Yesod, called \u201ccovenant.\u201d Noah and the ark below were as Yesod and Malchut of above, since concerning Noah it is written, \u201ccovenant,\u201d as it is written, \u201cAnd I will establish My covenant with you.\u201d And as long as the covenant did not exist in him, he did not come to the ark, since it is written, \u201cAnd I will establish My covenant with you, and you shall come into the ark,\u201d for then the ark becomes the ark of the covenant. That is, after it received Noah the righteous into it, meaning a covenant, it becomes the ark of the covenant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7) Ark and Noah are as Malchut and the covenant of above. And since the covenant of above makes generations, Noah, too, makes generations, as it is written, \u201cThese are the generations of Noah.\u201d He makes generations like the covenant of above, Yesod of Atzilut. Because he was rewarded with the holy covenant, Yesod of Atzilut, called \u201ccovenant,\u201d is on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
8) \u201cNoah was a righteous man,\u201d like the Yesod of above. This is why it is written, \u201cA righteous is the foundation [Yesod] of the world.\u201d The earth, Malchut, exists on it, and he is the pillar on which the world, Malchut, stands. This is why he is called \u201cthe foundation of the world.\u201d That foundation is a righteous, and Noah was righteous below, in the souls. This is why it is written, \u201cNoah was a righteous man,\u201d teaching us that the world exists on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
9) \u201cNoah walked with God.\u201d He never retired from Him, from Malchut, and he was rewarded with being a righteous man in the earth, such as above, the foundation of the world, a covenant of peace and the peace of the world. He is certainly a man of the ground, the husband of the ground. This is why it is written, \u201cAnd Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord [was favored by Him].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
10) \u201cHe was complete in his generations.\u201d His generations are the generations that came out from him. He complements all of them with his righteousness, and he himself is more complete than all of them. \u201cHe was complete in his generations,\u201d meaning that his completeness complemented all the generations that came out from him and became complete thanks to all the generations that came out from him. He was complete, meaning he was born circumcised. \u201cIn his generations,\u201d which came out from him, and not in the generations of the world. But although he was complete in all the generations of the world, it is still written, \u201cIn his generations,\u201d since all the generations of the world are his generations, as they come from him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
11) Noah was worthy of being in one connection with the ark and entering it since the day the world was created. But as long as they did not connect as one, the world was not established properly. Afterwards, it is written, \u201cAnd from these the earth was populated.\u201d Populated is like the upper ark, which is the garden, since from there onward is the separation, and the generations have spread in all directions. Once they came out and were corrected in the ark, they could be in the world of separation without being blotted out like the generation of the flood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
12) The branches below are similar to their roots above. This is why it is written, \u201cThese are the generations of Noah.\u201d \u201cThese are the generations,\u201d and not the first, who did not exist in the world since the foundation of the world, Noah, is the one who makes fruits exist in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All that is said about Noah and the ark below implies to their roots above, in Atzilut. The measure of the ark implies the measure of the construction of the Mochin in the ark of above, Malchut, which is built by Yesod of ZA. Three measures are mentioned regarding it: length, width, and height, which are HBD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The length is Hochma, but it is extended from Bina who becomes Hochma, whose digits are hundreds. This is the GAR that the ark receives, as it is written, \u201cThree hundred cubits is the length of the ark,\u201d KHB, each of which is one hundred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The width is Bina, with regard to the Hassadim in it, which illuminate in all of her five Sefirot KHB TM. And because they are Hassadim, each Sefira is regarded as only ten, and they are as it is written, \u201cThe breadth of it, fifty cubits.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The height is the Daat, the incorporation of Hochma and Hassadim together, like the imaginary height, which is the incorporation and growth of the length and width together. It is extended to the ark from ZA, whose digits are tens, and illuminates KHB in her GAR, like the length. This is why it is written, \u201cand the height of it, thirty cubits.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thus, the measures of the structure of the ark by Noah are as the measures of the structure of Malchut by Yesod of ZA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
13) \u201cThese are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man.\u201d Why does it write Noah twice? Each righteous in the world has two spirits, one in this world and one in the next world. So it is with all the righteous to which the Creator called: Moses, Moses; Jacob, Jacob; Abraham, Abraham; Samuel, Samuel; Shem, Shem; all but Isaac. It is not written Isaac twice because when Isaac was sacrificed on the altar, his soul\u2014which was in him in this world\u2014had departed. And since it was said to Abraham, \u201cBlessed is He who revives the dead,\u201d meaning he was told, \u201cDo not send out your hand to the lad,\u201d after he had already sent out his hand to slaughter him, only his soul that is in the next world returned to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is why he was not called, Isaac Isaac. This is also why the Creator did not unify his name on a righteous in his life, but only on Isaac, since he was regarded as dead because he did not have a soul from this world but from the next world, as those who pass away from this world have. It is written, \u201cFor he puts no trust in His holy ones, and the heavens are not pure in his eyes,\u201d since he does not unify his name on the righteous in his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
14) Because Noah was righteous, He praised him twice, as it is written, \u201cNoah, Noah.\u201d It is also written, \u201cHe was a complete man in his generations.\u201d If he were in other generations, such as in the generation of Abraham, the generation of Moses, the generation of David, he would not be regarded as anything. But see what he has done in a generation where all are wicked, much less if he were in a generation where all are righteous, what would he do?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
