For once a man has sinned, his iniquity is written above and is erased only by the power of great repentance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>313) Since the man sinned before the Creator, one time makes an impression. And when he sins a second time, the impression strengthens even more. If he sins before Him a third time, that stain spreads from end to end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>314) Because King David sinned before the Creator concerning Bat-Sheba, he thought that that sin was written about him forever. It is written, \u201cThe Lord has also removed your sin; you shall not die,\u201d indicating that He had removed that impression from before Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>315) Bat-Sheba was King David\u2019s since the day the world was created. Therefore, why did the Creator give her to Uriah the Hittite first?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>316) Such are the ways of the Creator. Although the woman is ready for a man to be his, another comes first and marries her before the time of that one arrives. When the time of that one arrives, the one who married her instead of the other\u2014who came later\u2014is removed and he departs from the world. It is difficult for the Creator to remove him from the world before the other prematurely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>317) Why was Bat-Sheba given first to Uriah the Hittite? Why was the holy land given to Canaan before Israel came? It is all one thing. Bat-Sheba and the land of Israel are both the Nukva. The beginning of the building of the Nukva is in Mochin of illumination of the left, and afterward, she is built in anterior Mochin from all three lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uriah is the Mochin of Hochma without Hassadim, illumination of the left. King David is anterior Mochin from the three lines. Therefore, although Bat-Sheba was David\u2019s mate, to be able to receive the anterior Mochin from David, she has to first marry Uriah, to receive from him the posterior Mochin from the illumination of the left, since she cannot receive anterior Mochin before she receives posterior Mochin \u2014the Mochin of the illumination of the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for the same reason, Canaan ruled in the land of Israel because it was given to Israel. It is so because when the Nukva receives from the Mochin of the left line, the shell of Canaan governs her, the dross of gold. However, she cannot receive anterior Mochin, which are Israel, before she receives the Mochin of the left line. This is why Canaan necessarily ruled her before Israel came.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the giving of Bat-Sheba to Uriah before she was given to David, and Canaan\u2019s rule in the holy land before it was given to Israel are the same thing, since the illumination of the left line is mandatory for the Nukva before she receives from the three lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>318) Although David confessed his sins and repented, his heart and will did not move from those sins he had sinned, and from that sin of Bat-Sheba, since he always feared because of them that he might cause one of them to come to slander him at a time of danger. For this reason, he did not move them from himself and from his will. This is why he said, \u201cFor I know my transgressions; and my sin is always before me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>319) \u201cMy transgressions\u201d are all the degrees on which the iniquities of people depend. \u201cI know\u201d means that he has already corrected them. \u201cAnd my sin is always before me\u201d is the diminution of the moon, which he did not correct because she did not emerge from her flaw until the arrival of Solomon, and then she illuminated in wholeness and without a flaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At that time, the world was perfumed and Israel dwelled in safety, as it is written, \u201cAnd Judah and Israel dwelt safely.\u201d For this reason, \u201cMy sin is always before me,\u201d meaning that even in the days of Solomon, the diminution of the moon was not fully corrected since the Temple was ruined once again, and the moon, the Nukva, resumed her diminution. The flaw will not cease in the world until the Messiah King arrives, as it is written, \u201cAnd I will remove the spirit of impurity from the land.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>312) \u201cFor I know my transgressions; and my sin is always before me.\u201d Indeed, how people should beware of the
