164) \u201cAnd he went on his journeys … unto the place where his tent had been in the beginning,\u201d meaning he went to visit his place and degree. It writes, \u201cHis journeys\u201d without a Yod [in Hebrew], meaning in singular form. This is the first degree that was seen to him, in the beginning. It writes here, \u201cAnd he went on his journeys,\u201d and it is written, \u201cWith a perfect [Shlema] stone is a journey built.\u201d The \u201cperfect stone\u201d is the kingdom of the king that peace [Shalom] is his, ZA. \u201cA perfect stone\u201d is Nukva of ZA, and here, too, she is the Nukva of ZA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
165) \u201cOn his journeys\u201d means he went in all those degrees, degree-by-degree, as it is written, \u201cFrom the Negev to Beit-El,\u201d to correct his place, Hesed, which is called \u201cNegev,\u201d and connect it with Beit-El, the Nukva, in complete unification, since from Negev to Beit-El is where Hochma is found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Nukva is called \u201cBeit-El.\u201d She shines in light of Hochma because she is called \u201clower Hochma,\u201d but the Hochma cannot shine in her without Hassadim. This is why \u201cfrom the Negev to Beit-El\u201d there is Hochma, as it should be, since when he connects the Negev, Hassadim, with the Hochma in Beit-El, the Hochma can shine properly. However, before she connects in the Negev, the Hochma in Beit-El cannot shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
166) \u201cUnto the place where his tent had been in the beginning.\u201d It is written \u201chis tent\u201d with a Hey, not with a Vav. This indicates that \u201chis tent\u201d is Beit-El, which is called \u201ca perfect stone,\u201d the Nukva of ZA. He also mentions that his intention is for the Nukva. He says, \u201cUnto the place of the altar, which he had made there before,\u201d of which it is written, \u201cTo the Lord, who appeared to him,\u201d meaning the Nukva. And then, \u201cAnd there Abram called on the name of the Lord,\u201d since then he adhered in complete faith in the whole of the Nukva, which is called \u201cwhole faith.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
167) First, he rose in degrees from below upward, as it is written, \u201cAnd the Lord appeared unto Abram, …and he built there an altar unto the Lord, who appeared unto him.\u201d This is the first degree, the perfect stone, the Nukva, where there is seeing. From here he obtained Nefesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Afterwards, it writes, \u201cGoing on still toward the Negev,\u201d meaning he went degree-by-degree until he was crowned in the south, Hesed of ZA, which is his share and lot. Here he obtained Ruach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Afterwards, when he rose further, he hides the matter and says only \u201cAnd he built there an altar unto the Lord.\u201d He does not say, \u201cTo the Lord, who appeared unto him.\u201d This is the upper world, Bina. Here he obtained the Neshama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From there he traveled further on the degrees, going down to Egypt and rising from there, by which he obtained the degree of Hochma from the right side, when Hesed became Hochma. Afterwards, he went from above downward, as it is written, \u201cAnd he went on his journeys,\u201d and all adhered to its place as it should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
168) When you examine the degrees in the text, you will find the matter of upper Hochma here, the Hochma of the right. It is written, \u201cAnd he went on his journeys from the Negev,\u201d from the right side, the south. This is the beginning of the upper one, Bina, which is hidden and profound all the way up to Ein Sof. The Negev is Hochma at the start of the right line, the beginning and the root of Bina, who stands at the start of the left line. This Hochma is hidden and profound all the way to Ein Sof. From there he comes down degree-by-degree from above downward, from Negev to Beit-El, which is the Nukva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
169) \u201cAnd there Abram called on the name of the Lord.\u201d This means that he attached the unification to its proper place, as it is written, \u201cUnto the place of the altar, which he had made there before.\u201d \u201cWhich he had made there,\u201d since first, he elevated the Nukva from below upward, and now he brought her down by the degrees from above downward, so she would not move away from those high degrees, and so that they would not move away from her. Thus, everything was united in one unification as it should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
170) Then Abraham was crowned, and the lot of his share was made in the Creator. Happy are the righteous who are crowned with the Creator, and He is crowned with them. Happy are they in this world, and happy are they in the next world. It is written about them, \u201cThen all your people will be righteous, they shall inherit the land forever.\u201d It is also written, \u201cBut the path of the righteous is as the light of dawn that shines more and more unto the perfect day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
171) David said, \u201cTurn unto me and be gracious to me.\u201d Did David, who was humble, say, \u201cTurn unto me and be gracious to me\u201d? He said that for the degree with which he was crowned; he was praying for the Nukva of ZA, as it is written, \u201cGive Your strength to Your servant, and save the son of Your handmaid.\u201d \u201cGive Your strength\u201d is the upper strength, Hochma, as it is written, \u201cHe will give strength unto His king.\u201d \u201cHis king\u201d is plainly a king, the Messiah King, Malchut, Nukva of ZA. Here, too, \u201cYour servant\u201d is the Messiah King, as we said, plainly a king, the Nukva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
173) \u201cAnd save the son of Your handmaid.\u201d But was he not the son of Yishai, that he had to state his mother\u2019s name and not his father\u2019s name? When a person comes to mention himself for receiving a high thing, he must come with a clear thing. This is why he mentioned his mother\u2019s name, saying, \u201cThe son of Your handmaid,\u201d and not his father. Moreover, it is plainly a king, meaning he did not pray for himself, but for the Nukva, who is called \u201cplainly a king.\u201d This is why he mentioned his mother, the Nukva, and did not mention his father.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
