When the priest raises his hands, the people must not look at him, since the Shechina is in his hands. Since they do not see, how does it harm them? After all, it is written, \u201cFor man shall not see me and live.\u201d In their life, they do not see, but only in their death, they see. However, since the holy name is implied in the fingers of their hands, and one must be fearful, and although they do not see the Shechina, they should not look at the hands of the priests so that the people will not be insolent toward the Shechina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>172. When the priest raises his hands, the people should sit in fear and dread, and know that that time is a time of good will in all the worlds, and the upper ones and lower ones are blessed, and there is no judgment in all of them. This is the time when the concealed is revealed, the Atik of Atiks, in ZA, and there is peace in all the worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>173a. In the beginning of these three verses there is Yod, Yod, Yod: Yod of \u201cwill bless you,\u201d Yod of \u201cwill shine,\u201d and Yod of \u201cwill lift up.\u201d All of them come to show the complete faith, and that whoever should be blessed by Atik, which is Yod of HaVaYaH, will be blessed. Yod-Yod-Yod is three times that ZA is blessed with everything from Atik. The three letters Yod correspond to the three lines, since \u201cwill bless you\u201d is the right line, \u201cwill shine\u201d is the left line, and \u201cwill lift up\u201d is the middle line. For this reason, \u201cThe Lord will bless you\u201d is above, for ZA to receive from Atik, and \u201cwill preserve you\u201d is below, for Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>173b. Anyone who regrets in his dream should come when the priests stretch out their hands and say, \u201cMaster of the world, I am Yours and my dreams are Yours,\u201d since at that time, there is mercy in all the worlds, and one who prays his prayer for his sorrow, the judgment turns for him into mercy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>171.
