But in the land, we will not be rewarded with \u200ebeing the heads.\u201d Because they took some bad advice for themselves, they died, \u200ethey and all those who accepted their words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>31. \u201cThese are the names of the men whom Moses sent to tour the land.\u201d Moses looked and knew that the spies would not succeed in their way, so he prayed for Joshua. At that time, Caleb was in trouble. He said, \u201cWhat shall I do? Joshua is going with Moses\u2019 upper help, who sent light into him\u2014the moon, Malchut\u2014and he shone on him through his prayer because he is the phase of the sun, ZA. What did Caleb do? He slipped from the spies and came to the graves of the fathers, and prayed his prayer there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>32. Caleb took a different route and went by twisted trails, and reached the graves of the fathers. He risked his life, but one who is in trouble looks at nothing. So was Caleb. Because he was in trouble, he looked at nothing and came to pray on the fathers\u2019 graves to be saved from this advice of the spies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>33. \u201cAnd Moses called Hosea, son of Nun, Joshua.\u201d Did the text call him Hosea? But it is written, \u201cAnd Moses said to Joshua,\u201d \u201cJoshua son of Nun a youth,\u201d \u201cAnd Joshua defeated.\u201d However, Moses said to him, \u201cYod-Hey will save you from them,\u201d since Joshua has the letters of \u201cGod will save\u201d [in Hebrew].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>34. Because Moses sent Joshua to come to the Land of Israel, Joshua had to be complete in the Shechina [Divinity], since the Land of Israel is the Shechina. Until that time, he was called a \u201cyouth,\u201d for he was gripped in Matat, who is called a \u201cyouth,\u201d and at that time, Moses tied him to the Shechina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it was previously written Joshua, the text called him after what he was destined to call him. Moses said, \u201cOf course he is unworthy of coming there unless in the Shechina, and so it should be. This is why he called him Joshua, adding a Yod to his name [in Hebrew], which is the Shechina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>35. \u201cIs there a tree in it, or is there not?\u201d Did Moses not know that there are several trees in it, different from each other? After all, he praised the Land of Israel several times, with the olive, the vineyard, the pomegranate, and more. Can it be that he was in doubt about that? But the Creator told Moses in the beginning that it was a land flowing with milk and honey. It is written, \u201cThere was a man in the land of Oz, whose name was Job.\u201d That is, Moses asked them to see if Job is there, so he would protect them. Also, Oz is like Etz [tree].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>36. He insinuated to them a hint of wisdom about what they asked in the beginning, that it is written, \u201cIs the Lord among us or not,\u201d is ZA, who is called HaVaYaH, among them? Or, is AA, who is called Ayin [not], among them. He said, \u201cYou will see in the land whether it is worthy of ZA, who is called \u201ctree,\u201d or of AA, who is called \u201cnot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said to them, \u201cIf you see that the fruits of the earth are as in the rest of the lands in the world, then there is a tree in it, which is the tree of life, ZA, and not from a higher place. And if you see that the fruits of the land are different from all the other lands in the world, you will know that that high difference that there is in it from all the places in the world drips and is drawn from the holy&nbsp;<em>Atik<\/em>. By this you will know if there is a tree in it, ZA, or not, which is Holy&nbsp;<em>Atik<\/em>, AA. You wanted to know this first, as it is written, \u201cIs the Lord among us,\u201d if ZA is among you, \u201cor not,\u201d AA. This is why it is written, \u201cAnd you shall strengthen yourselves and take from the fruit of the land,\u201d to know if there is a difference in them or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>37. The days are the days of the harvesting of the grapes, and the days are the six days HGT NHY of ZA. They all connect to the tree in which Adam HaRishon sinned, the tree that is Malchut, which was grapes. Thus, grapes are Malchut. For this reason, these days, VAK of ZA, are days of the harvesting of the grapes, Malchut, for then VAK of ZA became joined with Malchut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>38. \u201cAnd they went up the Negev and came up to Hebron; and there, Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of the giant.\u201d Caleb came to pray on the graves of the fathers in Hebron. Caleb said, \u201cJoshua, Moses had blessed with high and holy help, and he could be saved from them, but what shall I do?\u201d He took advice, to pray a prayer on the graves of the fathers in order to be saved from the bad counsel of the rest of the spies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>39. \u201cAnd came\u201d means that it enters the one who is the most important. That is, the Shechina, on which everything depends, entered and clothed inside Caleb. Which of them is the one with the advantage, who can come to Hebron, since it is written, \u201cand there, Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai,\u201d and from their fear, who can come, and even hide in the cave? However, the Shechina clothed there in Caleb to announce to the fathers that it was time for their sons to come to the land which the Creator had sworn to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>40. From whom did Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai come out? They were the descendants of the fallen ones, whom the Creator dropped from heaven to earth, and who engendered from the daughters of the earth. From them came the mighty ones of the world, as it is written, \u201cThey were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.\u201d \u201cOf old\u201d means that they have existed since the creation of the world. \u201cMen of renown\u201d are Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, whose name was known in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>41. \u201cAnd they came to the brook of Eshkol, and cut a branch.\u201d It is written, \u201cThus says God the Lord, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread forth the earth and its offspring.\u201d How much should people look into the work of the Creator; how much should they look into the words of Torah, that anyone who engages in Torah, it is as though he offers all the sacrifices in the world before the Creator. Moreover, the Creator forgives all his iniquities, and several thrones are established for him for the next world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>30.\u200e \u201cAnd Moses sent
