What does that mean? After all, it could have been created with one utterance. Yet, it was created in ten utterances in order to avenge the wicked who are destroying the world\u201d (<em>Avot<\/em>, Chapter 5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a famous question: Does the Creator complain against His creations? It is like one who gives to his friend a cup that is worth one pound to watch over it. If he loses it, he must pay only one pound, but the landlord paid ten pounds. Should he have paid ten pounds for this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing is that in the beginning, He created the world with the quality of judgment. When He saw that the world cannot exist, He associated with it the quality of mercy, for by this, man will be able to achieve completion. Conversely, when it was in the quality of judgment, it was impossible for man to be able to emerge from his evil inclination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the meaning of \u201cto give a good reward to the righteous.\u201d In other words, by the correction of the quality of mercy, called \u201cten utterances,\u201d there is existence to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd to avenge the wicked,\u201d meaning now that they have been given the chance to emerge from the control of the inclination, they still do not want to. For this they deserve to lose the world, although there is the correction of ten utterances there, which is easier than before the correction, meaning in one utterance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shabbat [Sabbath], March 5, 1955 \u201cAnd he said, \u2018A hand on the throne of the Lord; the Lord has war [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":6246,"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":[26],"class_list":["post-12445","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-rabash"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kabbalah | 392.
