309. How happy are Israel that the Creator wants their honor more than all the people in the world and has given them the holy Torah, and has given them faithful prophets who lead them in the Torah on the path of truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
310. All the prophets that the Creator has established for Israel, the Creator was revealed to all of them in high and holy degrees, and they saw the brilliance of the holy honor of the king from a high place. But not as close as Moses, for he was closer to the king than all of them because his portion was happier than all the people in the world. It is written about him, \u201cWith him I speak mouth to mouth, clearly, and not in riddles,\u201d while the rest of the prophets saw from a faraway place, as it is written, \u201cFrom afar the Lord appeared to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
311. It is written, \u201cAnd a man from the house of Levi went and took the daughter of Levi.\u201d \u201cAnd a man went\u201d is the Creator, ZA. \u201cFrom the house of Levi\u201d is the Creator, who went from the place where upper Hochma and radiance, upper Bina, join together and are never separated. Levi comes from the word adhesion, from the word Levaiot [accompanying].<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And took the daughter of Levi, the Creator, who is the place where the light of the moon, Malchut, shines. The meaning of the words is that \u201cand a man went\u201d is ZA, from the house of Levi is upper AVI, and took the daughter of Levi is Malchut, where ZA bestowed the lights of upper AVI to Malchut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
312. \u201cAnd the woman conceived and bore a son.\u201d The woman is Malchut. In the beginning, he called her \u201cthe daughter of Levi,\u201d and now a \u201cwoman.\u201d Before a woman is married, she is called the daughter of so and so. After she is married, she is called a woman. Here, too, daughter and woman are one degree, Malchut, but before he took her for a coupling, she is called the daughter of Levi, and afterwards a woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
313. \u201cAnd she hid him for three months.\u201d These are three months when harsh judgment is in the world: Tammuz, Av, Tevet [months in the Hebrew calendar]. Hence, the Shechina concealed him. Before Moses came down to the world, he was above. Hence, the Shechina connected with him and kept him since the day he was born. The spirits of the righteous are above before they come down to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
314. \u201cWhen she could not hide him anymore, she took an ark of papyrus for him, daubed it with clay and pitch.\u201d She coated him with signs so he would be kept from those fish of the sea, the upper angels that sail in the great sea, as it is written, \u201cteeming with creatures beyond number,\u201d and covered him so as to keep him from them through the coating from the side of the honorable Yovel, Bina, in two colors\u2014white and black\u2014clay and tar, corresponding to the two lines right and left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tar is left, but mixed with Malchut of the quality of judgment. Hence, the red in the left becomes black. That black is red, but it is blemished. She placed Moses so he would sail among them, among the angels, and be known among them, since he was destined to ascend among them at another time to receive the Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
315. \u201cAnd the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe in the Nile, and her maidens walked along by the Nile.\u201d The daughter of Pharaoh, who comes from the left side, the harsh judgment. It is written, \u201cbathe in the Nile,\u201d and not in the sea, since the sea implies Malchut, but the Nile is the harsh judgment from the left side which the Egyptians had made into their god. It is written, \u201cthe staff with which you struck the Nile.\u201d But Moses struck the sea! Did the verse call it \u201cthe Nile\u201d and it is not quite the Nile? It is the Nile that Aaron struck through Moses, and the text places it as though Moses struck it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
316. It is written, \u201cSeven full days passed after the Lord had struck the Nile,\u201d although Aaron struck it, but because it came from the Creator, who commanded him, read to him the words \u201cthe Lord had struck,\u201d and then He named it after Moses, for the same reason. \u201cAnd her maidens walked\u201d are the rest of the camps that come from that left side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
317. \u201cAnd she opened it and saw him, the child.\u201d Should it not have said, \u201cand saw\u201d? There is not a word or a letter in the Torah that does not have high and honorable secrets in it, an impression of the king and the queen, ZA and Malchut, Vav-Hey of HaVaYaH is in it, and they are the impression of the added Vav-Hey of \u201cand saw.\u201d This is why it is written, \u201cand she saw him.\u201d Promptly, \u201cshe had compassion for him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thus far above, in the upper worlds. Henceforth, The Zohar<\/em> speaks below, in this world, except in this verse, where it is written, \u201cand his sister stood at a distance,\u201d the sister of ZA. He called the assembly of Israel \u201cmy sister,\u201d as it is written, \u201cOpen for me, my sister.\u201d \u201cAt a distance,\u201d as it is written, \u201cFrom a distance, the Lord appeared to me.\u201d The meaning of the words \u201cAnd his sister\u201d of ZA, Malchut, over Moses, \u201cat a distance,\u201d that at that time, she was seen by Moses as distant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 318. What is implied from this whole article is that before these righteous come down to the world, they are known to everyone above. This is so for all the righteous, and much more so for Moses. It means that the souls of the righteous are extended from a high place, since \u201cfrom the house of Levi\u201d implies the upper HB. It means that the soul has a father and a mother, as there is a father and a mother to a body in the earth, since a man is ZA, and the daughter of Levi is Malchut, and from their coupling, the soul of Moses was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 319. It means that on all the sides, both above, which are ZON, and below, which are the father and mother of this world, everything comes and exists from a male and a female. This is as the verse explains, \u201cLet the earth bring forth a living soul.\u201d The earth is the assembly of Israel, Malchut. The living soul is the soul of Adam HaRishon, the upper one, since Malchut is the mother of the soul of Adam HaRishon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 320. Happy is Moses, the faithful prophet more than all the prophets in the world. Because of it, when he passed away from the world, no one dealt with him but the Creator, who elevated him to His presence. This is why Moses went up with a high prophecy and honorable degrees, more than all the prophets in the world, while the rest of the prophets saw behind many walls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 309.
