The mixed multitude are as it is written, \u201cAnd the people saw, and moved, and stood from afar.\u201d So they will be far from redemption and will see the disciples of the wise, and the holy nation in all this glory, and they will be far off from them. And should they want to bond with them, it is written, \u201cNo hand shall touch it, for he will surely be stoned or he will surely be shot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At that time, the verse \u201cThe Lord alone will guide him and there is no foreign god with Him\u201d will come true in Israel, and proselytes are not accepted for the days of the Messiah. It is also written, \u201cThe wicked shall be silent in the dark.\u201d These are the mixed multitude, and this is why the prophet said about them, \u201cThey shall not come to the soil of Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>101. Elijah said to Moses, \u201cIt is time to rise up and bring about the complete redemption. Speak about me in oath,\u201d meaning swear me to hasten the redemption, \u201csince for you I want to rise, for the Creator has given me permission to be revealed to you in your prison, in your burial, and do good with you, for you are pierced by the iniquities of the people,\u201d as he is among them as though in prison, as it is written, \u201cAnd he is pierced by our iniquities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>102. Moses said to him, \u201cSwear in the name of the Lord [HaVaYaH], with all your might, that redemption will not be delayed, for I am in great grief, as it is written about me, \u2018And he turned here and there, and saw that there was no man\u2019 helping me, to pull me out of this grief, out of this burial, as it is written about me, \u2018And they made His grave with the wicked.\u2019 They do not know me, and I am regarded among them as one of the wicked mixed multitude, as a dead dog that has turned foul-smelling among them, for the wisdom of authors shall become foul-smelling among them in each and every city, and where Israel are dispersed among them among the kingdoms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mixed multitude has become Israel\u2019s shepherds, who are the Creator\u2019s flock, as it is written about them, \u201cAnd you are My flock, the flock of My pasture, you are men,\u201d and they are unable to do good with the disciples of the wise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moses is the Torah [law] and the inner Daat [knowledge] that will be revealed only in the complete redemption. Until then, it is written about him, \u201cAnd he was pierced by our iniquities,\u201d since the Torah, Moses, was pierced and became hollow, for its internality has disappeared and all we have left is the externality. And I am regarded in their eyes as one of the wicked mixed multitude, as a dead dog that has turned foul-smelling. That is, they distance themselves from the internality of the Torah as one distances oneself from stench. It was said about it, \u201cAnd the wisdom of authors shall become foul-smelling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>103. Mighty and sin-fearing men roam from city to city and will not be assisted. The mixed multitude boycott them among them, and in many places, they are given only rationed matter in a way that there will be no rise from their fall, and even fleeting pleasures. All the sages and mighty and sin-fearing men are in grief, distress, and anguish, and are regarded as dogs, as it is written, \u201cThe precious sons of Zion, worth their weight in fine gold, how they are regarded as earthen pots, the work of a potter\u2019s hands\u201d in the streets, and they find no lodging among them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>104. While the mixed multitude are rich, at ease, joyful, without grief and without any anguish, thieving, bribing, and they are the judges of the people, for the land has been filled with theft because of them. It is written about them, \u201cHer enemies have become the head.\u201d Moses said to Elijah, \u201cIn an oath about you, a second time, in the name of the Lord of hoses, the God of Israel, dwelling among the Cherubim, all these words will not fall from your mouth, and with all your might, you will say them to the Creator and to show their urgency.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>100.
