60. \u201cIf a man\u2019s wife goes astray and breaks faith with him.\u201d Twofold \u201cman\u201d [in the Hebrew text], a man who is a man, who observes the verse, \u201cDrink water from your hole and did not cast his eyes on another woman,\u201d then he is a man in the world, a man to his woman.\u201d \u201c[She] breaks faith with him,\u201d one [breach of faith] for the assembly of Israel, Malchut, and one for her husband, ZA. This is why it is written, \u201cthen the man shall bring his wife to the priest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
61. Why should he bring his wife to the priest and not to a judge? It is because the priest is the best man of the queen, who fixes Malchut for the coupling with ZA. For this reason, the correction of the flaw of the adulteress, which reaches up to Malchut, pertains to him. It is written, \u201cAnd he shall slaughter the young bull.\u201d \u201cSlaughter\u201d means someone else, and not the priest, since the priest is prohibited by law to act, so as not to blemish the Hesed [mercy].<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thus, why is it written that he \u201cshall bring his wife to the priest\u201d to sentence her judgment? Indeed, only the priest is worthy of it, since he is the queen\u2019s best man, and all the women in the world are blessed by the assembly of Israel. For this reason, the woman below is blessed seven blessings at the time of the wedding, since she is gripped to the assembly of Israel, in which there are seven Sefirot HGT NHYM, and the priest is poised to correct the words of the queen and to look into anything she needs. This is why only the priest is fit for it, and not another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
62. But the priest executes judgment, which contradicts his degree, which is \u200eHesed? It is not so. Rather, he exerts in this in order to increase peace in the \u200eworld and to increase the Hesed. If it is found that that woman is clean, \u200ethe priest increases peace in them: in the woman and her husband. Moreover, she is \u200eimpregnated with a male son, and peace is made through him. If it is found that she is \u200eunclean, the priest does not make judgment, but the holy name to whom she lied \u200emakes the judgment and examines her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
63. The priest did not let himself into it, but rather when she gives herself before him to water her so she will be rewarded. He asks her once and twice, and since she wants to be found clean, the priest performs the act, in order to increase the peace between her and her husband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
64. The priest writes the holy name, once straight, Yod-Hey Vav-Hey, and then writes it in reverse, Hey-Vav Hey-Yod. The letters that were dissolved into the water were scratched in the upper lights, four phases, judgment in judgment, mercy in mercy, mercy in judgment, judgment in mercy. If she is found to be clean, the letters of mercy are found, and the letters of judgment go up. If she is not found to be proper, the letters of mercy go up and the letters of judgment remain, and then the judgment is done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A virtuous woman, holy Malchut, never goes astray under her husband; she does not draw Hochma from above downward, which is regarded as adhesion to another god. Rather, she is adhered to her husband, ZA, the middle line, who corrects the illumination of Hochma so as to shine only from below upward. The adulteress, who went astray under her husband, adheres to a woman of harlotry, who is adhered to another god who draws the Hochma from above downward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Malchut is called the \u201ctree of knowledge of good and evil,\u201d since there are two points in her: 1) the point of the quality of judgment, Malchut of the first restriction, because of which she is unfit to receive light, 2) the point that is sweetened by the quality of mercy, by which she receives all the lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If a person is rewarded, a correction is performed in Malchut: concealing the point of the quality of judgment, and only the point that is sweetened by the quality of mercy is revealed. At that time, she is good, and a person receives all the lights through her. If a person is not rewarded, the point of the quality of judgment in Malchut is revealed, and all the lights depart, which is bad. For this reason, in order to find out whether the adulteress had committed harlotry under her husband, this test is done by the priest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The priest writes the holy name, once straight, the direct order of HaVaYaH, Yod-Hey Vav-Hey, indicating the expansion of Bina, the quality of mercy. Afterwards, he writes it in reverse, where HaVaYaH is reversed, Hey-Vav Hey-Yod, indicating the expansion of the quality of judgment in Malchut, since the letters Hey, which are females, control the Yod-Vav, which are males, and the bottom Hey, Malchut, controls the letters Vav Hey Yod, for each letter that stands first is the ruler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, reversed HaVaYaH indicates the quality of judgment, and when it is dissolved into the water, the letters of mercy from Bina, and the letters of judgment from Malchut of the quality of judgment, are mixed with one another, and four phases are made from them: 1) judgment in judgment from only the letters of Malchut, 2) mercy in mercy from only the phase of Bina, 3) mercy in judgment from Bina that is mixed with Malchut, 4) judgment in mercy from Malchut that is mixed with Bina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If she is found to be clean, that she did not commit harlotry under her husband, she is adhered to a virtuous woman, to the upper Malchut, and then the correction in her is on her, where the point of the quality of judgment, the lock, is concealed, and the point of the quality of mercy governs her openly. The letters of Rachamim are found to be controlling, and the letters of judgment went up, meaning departed and were concealed, as the correction of Malchut. At that time, when she drinks this water, she is blessed from the quality of mercy, and it is written, \u201cthen she shall be clean and shall conceive with semen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But if she goes astray under her husband, at that time, she is adhered to a woman of harlotry, Malchut of the shell, in which there is no correction of concealing, then, due to the revealing of the judgments of the lock, all the lights of Bina depart, and the judgments remain. At that time, when she drinks water, it is written, \u201cthe water that brings the curse shall enter into her and cause bitter pain, and her womb shall swell, and her thigh shall fall away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
65. \u201cAnd they came to Marah, and could not drink the water of Marah because it was bitter.\u201d How the people of the world do not look and do not engage in words of Torah? Here we should see why it is written here, \u201cThere He made for them a statute and a rule, and there He tested them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
66. But here the miracle was on the water, since the Egyptians were saying that from them were the sons of Israel, and there were several people in Israel who suspected their women of this, until the Creator brought them to that place, Marah [bitter], and wanted to check them, as it is written, \u201cAnd they came to Marah, and could not drink the water of Marah because it was bitter. And the people grumbled against Moses, saying, \u2018What shall we drink?\u2019 And he cried out to the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
67. The Creator said to Moses, \u201cWhat do you want? There are several regiments of slanderers standing over you here, and I want to check the women of Israel here. Write the holy name and throw into the water, and all of Israel will be checked, men and women, and no defamation will remain against my children. As long as not everyone has been tested here, I will not place My name over them. Promptly, \u201cAnd the Lord showed him a log, and he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet.\u201d A tree is the holy name, which the priest would write to check the women of Israel. Then, \u201cThere He made for them a statute and a rule, and there He tested them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
68. The women of Israel were checked because of the suspicion of the Egyptians, but why were the men checked? Indeed, the men, too, needed to be checked if they were not defiled with the women of the Egyptians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The women of Israel were not defiled in Egypt all those years that they were among them, and everyone, men and females, were found innocent. It was found that the seed of Israel was holy, worthy [innocent]. At that time, the Creator placed His name among them. For this reason, certainly on water, \u201cThere He made for them a statute and a rule, and there He tested them.\u201d Here, too, the priest checked the woman with water and with the holy name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
69. \u201cAnd the priest shall take holy water in an earthenware vessel and take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it into the water.\u201d Dust is as it is written, \u201cEverything was from the dust, and everything returns to dust.\u201d \u201cEverything was from the dust,\u201d even the sun. It is all the more so that man is from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
70. \u201cFrom the dust,\u201d from Malchut. However, it is written, \u201cof the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle,\u201d which means it is a different dust. The dust of the tabernacle means the Sium [end] of Malchut, who is called \u201ctabernacle,\u201d and the litigants are gripped below to her end, to Malchut of Malchut, as it is written, \u201cSin crouches at the door.\u201d This is why it is written, \u201cand take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it into the water.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
71. \u201cThe water of bitterness that brings the curse.\u201d This is sea water, which is bitter. What is sea water? It is the holy name, Malchut, who is called \u201csea,\u201d when she is in judgment. At that time, they are called \u201cwater of bitterness that brings the curse.\u201d And for this reason, the water of the bottom sea, which is a branch of Malchut, is all bitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
72. Several sweet [fresh] rivers, Sefirot of ZA, enter the holy sea, Malchut. Because she is the judgment of the world, her water is bitter, since the death of all the people of the world is gripped to her, as it is written, \u201cHer legs go down to death.\u201d Although it is bitter, when it spreads, it is sweet [fresh].<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes, the sea water is better because death grips to Malchut; sometimes the sea water swallows the rest of the water, and it is called the \u201cfrozen sea,\u201d swallowing all those other waters and sucking them into it, and they do not pour outside. Sometimes, the water opens and all that is drawn to the lower ones is drawn from the sea. The sea stands in several ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The water that brings the curse is called so when the serpent comes and casts filth in her. For this reason, the priest does a deed below and makes an oath, and the judgment is done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
73. If the woman is found to be clean, this water enters her and is inverted into sweet. It cleans her and stands within her until she conceives. Once she conceives, the water beautifies in beauty the fetus in her womb, and it comes out a handsome boy, clean from anything, without any blemish in the world. If she is not clean, this water enters her and she smells the smell of the filth of the serpent, and this water turns into a serpent in her womb. And in what she has spoiled, she is captured, as it is written, \u201cand her womb shall swell, and her thigh shall fall away,\u201d and her disgrace is seen by all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
74. All the women in the world stand and are sentenced in their place by this water that the adulteress drank. For this reason, that very place from which it comes, Malchut, of which women are its branches, in it, they are judged since Malchut judges them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
75. It is written, \u201cYour will be as a fruitful vine by the side of your home.\u201d A vine does not accept another kind on it. So is a woman in Israel; she stands in the same way, accepting only her partner over her, like a pigeon that accepts only its mate. Hence, as a fruitful vine by the side of your home, and not outside the market, since she will not come to lie in the upper covenant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
76. Solomon said, \u201cOne who leaves her maiden champion and has forgotten the covenant of her God.\u201d \u201cThe covenant of her God\u201d is the place of the covenant, Yesod. She connected to it, which is why it is written, \u201cby the side of your home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
77. Horror shall come upon that person who leaves his wife, who shows of the hair of her head outside. This is one of those modesties at home, and a woman who takes out the hair of her head in order to beautify in it causes poverty to the house. She causes her children not to be important in the generation, and causes another thing, leprosy, to be in the house. The hair that was seen outside her head caused all this, and if this is so at home, it is much more so on the street, and even more so if other insolence will be seen from her. This is why it is written, \u201cYour wife is as a fruitful vine by the side of your home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
78. The woman\u2019s hair, which was revealed, causes other hair to be revealed and blemish her. These are the forces of the Sitra Achra that grip the hair, and for this reason, even those in her house must not see a single hair from the woman\u2019s head, much less outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
79. As with the male, where the hairs are harder than all, judgments, so it is in the female. The woman\u2019s hairs cause several blemishes, cause above and below, cause her husband to be cursed, cause poverty, leprosy, removal of importance from her children. The merciful one will save us from their insolence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
80. For this reason, the woman must be covered in the corners of the house. If she does so, it is written, \u201cYour children are as olive plants.\u201d An olive does not lose its leaves, neither in the winter nor in the summer, and there is always more importance in it than in the rest of the trees. Similarly, her children will rise in importance over the rest of the people of the world. Moreover, her husband is blessed in everything, in blessings of above and in blessings of below, in wealth in children and in the children\u2019s children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
82. It is a commandment to discuss the rules of the adulteress, as it is written, \u201cAnd if the spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife.\u201d Indeed, the spirit of impurity is on both sides: in falsehood and in truth. In a spirit of falsehood, as it is written, \u201cAnd he is jealous of his wife,\u201d and she is not defiled. The other one, \u201cAnd if the spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife, who has defiled herself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
83. Is there truth in the spirit of impurity? In a person from the side of the tree of good and evil, there is the evil inclination there, a serpent. When a person has a beautiful wife, a soul, with all the good deeds, of whom it is written, \u201cA virtuous woman is her husband\u2019s crown,\u201d then the evil inclination has envy, like the serpent who envied the man for his wife, until he seduced her and caused her death. Sometimes, he controls her with sins and defiles her, and she becomes a carcass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
84. The evil inclination on the right, Ishmael, is called a \u201cserpent.\u201d From the left, Esau, SAM, is called a \u201cdog,\u201d the appointee over Hell, who cries out and barks Hav! Hav! [give, give], as it is written, \u201cThe leach has two daughters, Hav, HaV,\u201d and he wishes to burn with his fire in Hell a soul that was defiled. This is \u201cAnd if the spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife,\u201d indeed, and she was defiled. And sometimes, he falsely slanders her, when she is not defiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
85. It is written about her, \u201cIf a daughter of a priest,\u201d who is Michael, Hesed, and the soul is his daughter, \u201cwere to begin to fornicate,\u201d she defiles her father; she will be burned in fire. There, that filth in her is burned and she is whitened from it like silver is whitened by fire, and lead, which is the waste, is burned out and becomes dust and is gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
86. It is likewise with Israel. When they desecrate the Torah, the Creator lets them into the exile of the children of Esau and the children of Ishmael, under their enslavement, whose degree is \u201cdog\u201d and \u201csnake,\u201d and they are sentenced there. In them, they will be sorted, whitened, and purified like the silver is purified and like the gold is tested, as it is written, \u201cAnd I will purify them as silver is purified, and I will test them as gold is tested,\u201d until the verse \u201cIf your sins become as white as snow,\u201d comes true in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
87. It is written about the tree of good and evil, \u201cAnd the Lord showed him a log, and he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet.\u201d Because Israel were mingled with the mixed multitude, they were all the tree of good and evil. Hence, half of it is sweet, from the right side, and half of it is bitter, from the left side. When the mixed multitude were making Israel sin, it is as though they were all from the side of the bad. Hence, the water returned to being bitter, like that bitter log that he threw into the water, as it is written, \u201cAnd they came to Marah, and could not drink the water of Marah because it was bitter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
88. That bitter tree that he threw into the water was as the manner of the test of the adulteress. If she has gone astray under her husband, the water she was given to drink returned to being bitter, and it is written about it, \u201cand her womb shall swell, and her thigh shall fall away.\u201d If she did not go astray, it is written, \u201cshe shall be clean and shall conceive with semen,\u201d and she delivers a son. Here, too, the water is sweetened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The test of the adulteress where he casts the judgment of the lock, is the writing of HaVaYaH in reversed order, and she conceives in straight HaVaYaH, which is Bina. If she adhered to a woman of harlotry, the lock would not have mingled with Bina and would not be sweetened in her. Then the lights of Rachamim [mercy] depart and the judgment of the lock operates in her. At that time, \u201cher womb shall swell, and her thigh shall fall away.\u201d If she did not go astray under her husband and was adhered to a virtuous woman, then the lock in Bina is sweetened and concealed, and the key is revealed and controls. At that time, \u201cshe shall be clean and shall conceive with semen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here, too, \u201cAnd the Lord showed him a log\u201d is a bitter wood, the lock, for all who are adhered to the right were incorporated in Bina and the water was sweetened, and all who are adhered to the left were separated from them because of the quality of judgment of the lock, and were canceled, and Israel came out pure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
89. He will do likewise, to test Israel in the last redemption, as it is written, \u201cMany will be sorted and whitened and purified,\u201d who are from the side of the good and endure the text. \u201cAnd convicted the wicked,\u201d from the side of the bad, and the verse \u201cAnd they shall not come to the soil of Israel\u201d comes true in them and He kills them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
90. The enlightened ones will understand, since they are from the side of Bina, the tree of life. It is written about them, \u201cAnd the enlightened will shine as the brightness of the firmament,\u201d in this \u200ecomposition of Rabbi Shimon, The Book of Zohar<\/em>, from brightness of \u200eupper Ima, who is called repentance. These do not need testing. And because \u200eIsrael are destined to taste from the tree of life, which is The Book of Zohar<\/em>, through it, they \u200ewill come out from the exile in mercy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 60. \u201cIf a man\u2019s wife goes astray and breaks faith with him.\u201d Twofold \u201cman\u201d [in the Hebrew text], a man […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"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-12338","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-zohar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
