The Meaning of Dry Land"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Now we will explain the meaning of dry land, where there is no danger, but on the contrary, a great sweetening. However, it is like taking in without letting out, since it cannot elicit food and nourishment, and what falls in it burns and is lost by its heat and dryness, as in \u201cwhen the sun grew hot, it would melt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the meaning of \u201cVapor went up from the land and watered the face of the earth,\u201d since the power of the land is mainly its face, from which come all the sweetenings. Also, \u201cvapor\u201d comes from the words, \u201cvapor and shattering,\u201d which is the opposite of the desire and the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, know that this vapor takes from the abyss in the water, but not in a stormy wind, but only through the pillars of cloud, which is regarded as \u201cearth\u201d and \u201cdry land,\u201d which is completely blocked by the light of the sun and covers the sun. It brings darkness and mist to the dwellers of the earth, and those clouds themselves, which are vapor and shattering and darkness, are dipped in the waters of the sea and suck from the mingling of the seawater with the sky, and the water becomes sweetened in the clouds and waters the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The land elicits because the dry land becomes hardened by the&nbsp;<em>Kli<\/em>&nbsp;[vessel] of the abyss, and then she yields fruits. This is the meaning of the twofold \u201cit was good\u201d in it, meaning both for the great abyss in the water and also for the small abyss. This happened because first, all the water gathered into one place, to the quality of mercy and life. Hence, they were also cured as one, as in \u201cAnd they delighted for they were silent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third day. You see that the light of the first day is&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>, the light of the second day is&nbsp;<em>AB<\/em>, and that of the third day is&nbsp;<em>SAG<\/em>, and that&nbsp;<em>SAG<\/em>&nbsp;contains&nbsp;<em>Galgalta<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>AB<\/em>&nbsp;and subdues them both in the waters in the sea, and in the fruits that the earth yields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not be perplexed, since it is also written about the first day, \u201cevening and morning,\u201d for \u201cevening\u201d indicates joining, so how does he say that there it is&nbsp;<em>Behina<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Dalet<\/em>&nbsp;[fourth phase] without joining?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the Torah spoke of creation and of&nbsp;<em>Beresheet<\/em>&nbsp;[in the beginning], which is the verse that associates the quality of mercy with the root of the&nbsp;<em>Bet<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Beresheet<\/em>. However, we start from&nbsp;<em>Ein Sof<\/em>&nbsp;[infinity\/no end] to the nine utterances, which is the meaning of \u201cone day\u201d \u2026 and creation \u2026 from the second day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A twofold \u201cit was good.\u201d Since all the water gathered into one place, the quality of mercy,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;of the great abyss, and the corruption was attributed to the upper one, they were also healed as one, as in the land that was revealed. Then the two chasms become good for drinking and for yielding fruits. Understand the preceding of the revealing of the dry land, as it is written, \u201cAnd the dry land appeared,\u201d and the subsequent making of the&nbsp;<em>Segula<\/em>&nbsp;[power\/virtue\/remedy] of eliciting bread and fruits from the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<em>Bet<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Beresheet<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>RADLA<\/em>. One day is&nbsp;<em>Behina<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Dalet<\/em>, as in the skies within her from the inner&nbsp;<em>Zivug<\/em>&nbsp;[coupling], which is&nbsp;<em>Behina<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Dalet<\/em>&nbsp;without association. The second day is&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>AB<\/em>&nbsp;prior to the dry land, and the third day is&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>SAG<\/em>, in which there is dry land.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now we will explain the meaning of dry land, where there is no danger, but on the contrary, a great [&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-12541","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 | 446.
