It is written, \u201cAnd [Jacob] took the stone that he had put under his head.\u201d Thus, the foundation stone was corrected even before the world was created. Moreover, Jacob was in Beit-El, and the foundation stone was in Jerusalem, since it is standing at the place of the Temple, which is in Jerusalem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>275) It is written, \u201cPrepare to meet your God, O Israel,\u201d and it is written, \u201cBe silent and listen, O Israel,\u201d for words of Torah require intention and must be corrected in both body and will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>276) Words of Torah require the correction of the body and heart. Were it not for that, he would be lying in his bed contemplating the matters in his heart. But even one who sits and engages in Torah, the Shechina connects with him. If the Shechina were here, would he be lying in his bed? Moreover, words of Torah require cleanness, and the mind of one who lies in one\u2019s bed is not clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>277) Also, anyone who rises to engage in Torah from midnight onward, when the north wind awakens, at that time, the Creator comes in to play with the righteous in the Garden of Eden, and He is with all the righteous in the garden, and all are listening to these words coming out of His mouth. If the Creator and all the righteous were refined to hear words of Torah at that time, would he be lying in his bed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>278) How could the foundation stone be before the world was created, and that the world was planted from it? It means that Jacob has now placed it. It is also written, \u201cAnd [Jacob] took the stone that he had put under his head.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>279) Jacob was in Beit-El, and that stone was in Jerusalem. He folded under him the whole of the land of Israel and that stone was under him, although he was in Beit-El. But it is written, \u201cthat he had put,\u201d and it is written, \u201cThis stone, which I have set up as a pillar will be the house of God.\u201d This means that he has now corrected it, and how is a foundation stone corrected ahead of the world?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>280) It is written, \u201cIn righteousness I shall behold Your face; I shall be satisfied when I awake with Your likeness.\u201d The fondness and adhesion of King David were in that foundation stone, Malchut, called \u201cfoundation stone\u201d and called \u201crighteousness\u201d [or \u201cjustice\u201d]. He said about it, \u201cThe stone which the builders loathed has become the corner stone.\u201d When he wanted to look in the vision of the glory of his Master, he first took the stone into his hands and then entered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>281) It is so because anyone who wishes to be seen before his Master enters only in that stone, as it is written, \u201cBy this will Aaron come into the holiness.\u201d Malchut is called \u201cthis.\u201d And David praises himself and says, \u201cI am in righteousness,\u201d which is Malchut, \u201cI shall behold Your face.\u201d All that David engaged in was to be seen properly toward above, in that stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mochin of Hochma are called Einayim [eyes], as well as \u201cseeing\u201d [or \u201cvision\u201d]. These Mochin do not shine in any degree past Hochma of AA that was concealed, except in Malchut, Nukva of ZA, which is called \u201cfoundation stone.\u201d And the Mochin of vision are only in her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>282) Abraham established the morning prayer corresponding to Hesed of ZA, and announced the essence of the Master in the world. He corrected that time in its corrections as it should be, meaning corrected the quality of Hesed that rules in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Isaac established the afternoon prayer corresponding to Gevura of ZA, and announced in the world that there is a judgment [judgment] and there is Dayan [a judge] who can save the world and judge the world, who corrected the quality of Gevura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>283) Jacob established the evening prayer corresponding to Malchut, Nukva of ZA. And because he established this prayer, which Adam did not previously establish properly, he praised himself and said, \u201cThis stone,\u201d Malchut, \u201cwhich I have set up as a pillar,\u201d which he established, for until then, none other had established it like him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>284) This is why it is written, \u201cAnd [Jacob] took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up as a pillar.\u201d A pillar means that there was a fall in Malchut, and he raised her. \u201cAnd set it up for a pillar and poured oil on its top,\u201d since it was up to Jacob to correct it more than on all the people of the world, for Jacob is a Merkava for Tifferet. He is her husband, and on him depend the corrections of Malchut, his Nukva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>286) Solomon sat on the throne of his father, David, and greatly corrected his kingship. The praise of Solomon is that he corrected the foundation stone and placed on it the Holy of Holies, correcting the Malchut and drawing for it Mochin of GAR, which are regarded as the Holy of Holies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>287) It is written, \u201cAnd I will see it to remember the everlasting covenant,\u201d since the Creator\u2019s passion is always for Malchut. One who is not seen in her, who does not receive from her Mochin of seeing, Hochma, does not enter before his Master, since these Mochin are extended only from her. This is why it is written, \u201cAnd I will see it to remember the everlasting covenant,\u201d for seeing is only in her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>288) What is \u201cAnd I will see it\u201d? To which phase in her does the seeing refer? Is it for the judgment in her, which causes all the Mochin in the screen of Hirik, or for the key in her, in which the actual Mochin is received? Seeing concerns the letter Tav in Malchut, the judgment in her, as it is written, \u201cAnd set a mark upon the foreheads of the people.\u201d This Tav saved the people, for it was seen in their foreheads because it caused the disclosure of the Mochin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And some say that seeing revolves around the record of the holy sign that is in the flesh, in her incorporation in Ateret Yesod, the key, in which the Mochin are received, as it is extended to her the vessels of Ima and the Mochin of Ima.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>289) It is certainly all in the words \u201csee it,\u201d both the Tav in it, and the Atarah [Keter\/crown]. But that bow is seen in the upper world, Bina, and stands only in the Atarah in her, which equates her to Bina, and she receives the Mochin and the vessels from her. When Israel come out of the exile, that bow will be decorated in its colors as a bride adorns herself for her husband. That is, the three colors\u2014white, red, and green\u2014the Mochin in her, will be illuminating strongly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>290) Do not await the arrival of the Messiah until that bow is seen in the world, decorating itself with illuminating colors and shining for the world. Then you can expect the Messiah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>291) From where do we know that? It is written, \u201cAnd I will see it to remember the everlasting covenant.\u201d Now, at the time of the exile, when the bow is seen in dark colors, it is seen only to remember that a flood will not come to the world. But when the Messiah comes, it will be seen in bright colors, decorated in its corrections as a bride adorns herself for her husband. Then the verse, \u201cto remember the everlasting covenant\u201d will come true, and the Creator will remember that that covenant is in exile, and He will raise her from the dust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is written, \u201cAnd sought the Lord their God, and David their king.\u201d \u201cDavid their king\u201d implies Malchut, the bow. It is written, \u201cAnd they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.\u201d That is, \u201cI shall raise up from the dust,\u201d as it is written, \u201cI shall raise the fallen tabernacle of David.\u201d This is why at that time it was said, \u201cAnd I will see it to remember the everlasting covenant,\u201d and to raise her from the dust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>292) This is why the redemption of Israel and the memory of Malchut are mentioned in the Torah, as it is written, \u201cRemember the everlasting covenant,\u201d which indicates the redemption of Israel and the correction of Malchut. At the time of redemption, it is written, \u201cAs I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.\u201d He swore upon seeing the bow that He would no longer bring a flood upon the earth, which is also at the time of the exile. Likewise, at the time of redemption, when the bow illuminates in bright colors, the Creator will say, \u201cI have sworn that I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you,\u201d for then David\u2019s fallen tabernacle will rise and the verse, \u201cto remember the everlasting covenant\u201d will come true.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>273) \u201cThis stone, which I have set
