34) One who has seen a rainbow in its colors should bless, \u201cBlessed is He who remembers the covenant.\u201d This is the token of the holy covenant that the Creator has placed in the earth so the water of the flood would not come upon it. When the wicked multiply in the world, the Creator wishes to destroy them. At that time He remembers the oath He took for the earth. It is written twice, \u201cNo\u201d: \u201cI will curse no more,\u201d and \u201cI will smite no more.\u201d And two times \u201cno\u201d is an oath, as it is written, \u201cFor as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
35\/1) A rainbow comes to protect the world. It is like a king who every time his son sins against him and the king comes to strike him, the queen appears in the kingship\u2019s garments of glory. The king sees her, his anger at his son subsides, and he delights with her, as it is written, \u201cAnd I will see it, to remember the everlasting covenant.\u201d This is why the rainbow appears in the world only in garments of glory of the kingship\u2014three colors implying three lines, white, red, and green, by which the kingship [Malchut<\/em>] robes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When there is a righteous in the world, it is a covenant, to keep the covenant, and he protects the world. If there is no righteous, then there is a rainbow, to show that the world is about to be lost, but it exists thanks to this rainbow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 35\/2) That rainbow, Malchut<\/em>, always wears only the attire of the first patriarchs, HGT<\/em> de<\/em> ZA<\/em>, green, red, and white. Green is Abraham\u2019s garment. His garment was colored so when Ishmael came out of him. Red is Isaac\u2019s color, by which he was colored when Esau came out of him. That red extends below through Planet Mars, when Esau was gripped to him. White is Jacob\u2019s good clothing, whose good face never changed, for his bed is whole and there was no waste in him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 35\/3) Also, white is Abraham, who was whitened in the whiteness of fire by Nimrod, who cast him to Ur of the Chaldeans. Red is certainly Isaac; green is Jacob, standing between the two colors, since green includes white and red, and that green means as green as the sun. It is written about Jacob, \u201cNot now shall Jacob be ashamed, nor shall his face turn pale now,\u201d for his whole bed was complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The meaning is, \u201cNot now shall Jacob be ashamed,\u201d so as to not be seen in red color, as Isaac, from whom Esau came out. \u201cNor shall his face turn pale now,\u201d so as to not be seen in white color, like Abraham, from whom Ishmael came out. Rather, he took the colors white and red to be crowned in them, in his fathers, meaning that he includes within him the two fathers, Abraham and Isaac, white and red. This is why his color is green, as it includes within it white and red. The rainbow, Malchut<\/em>, dresses in those garments, white, red, and green when she appears before the king, ZA<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 35\/4) The holy covenant is the letter Yod<\/em>. It is crowned with the high inscription, Ateret<\/em> Yesod de<\/em> ZA<\/em>. The Atara<\/em> [crown] is inscribed in an everlasting covenant forever. And because Pinhas was jealous for the covenant, the letter Yod<\/em> was inscribed here in his name, since Pinhas is a small Yod<\/em>, Malchut<\/em>, Ateret<\/em> Yesod<\/em>. That is, Pinhas here is written with a Yod<\/em>, a Yod<\/em> that is a covenant, indeed, emerging from the upper, holy Yod<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is so because Malchut<\/em> comes out from Yod<\/em> de<\/em> HaVaYaH<\/em>, as in \u201cAbba<\/em> established a daughter.\u201d For this reason, Pinhas stands in complete existence before the holy king, so he will not be lost from the world, cleaned from that iniquity of Peor, for he was not lost from the everlasting Holy one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is written, \u201cAnd where were the upright destroyed?\u201d These are Nadav and Avihu, who were not eradicated from the world because of him, since they incarnated in Pinhas, who corrected them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 36) Because Elijah is Pinhas, who was jealous for the covenant, great things must be renewed in him. This portion is written in the Torah after the name of Elijah, who is Pinhas, of whom it is written, \u201cI have been very jealous,\u201d which is two jealousies [in Hebrew]: 1) in the Shadai<\/em> of above, Yesod<\/em> de<\/em> ZA<\/em>, 2) in the Shadai<\/em> of below, Matat, called Shadai<\/em>. This is why he made oaths in both of them, and it is written twice \u201cno.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 37) One who sees a rainbow in bright colors should bless, \u201cBlessed is He who remembers the covenant.\u201d In the exile, when it is not properly illuminating in its colors, since in exile, Malchut<\/em> does not receive the unification of the three lines properly\u2014the three colors of the rainbow, and sometimes even illuminates faintly, sometimes it does not illuminate at all. Sometimes it is seen in whole, and sometimes it is not. The colors of the rainbow imply priests, Levites, and Israelis, when they are comely, since the rainbow illuminates in the colors of the three lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 38) The rainbow comes only in order to protect the world. It is like a king, who each time his son sins and the king sees the queen, the anger at his son departs, as it is written, \u201cAnd I will see it, to remember the everlasting covenant.\u201d This is why the rainbow is seen in order to protect the world, since the rainbow is Malchut<\/em>, and appears only in Malchut\u2019s<\/em> dignified attire, in three colors. When there is a righteous in the world, it is a covenant to keep the covenant, to keep the unification of ZA<\/em> and Malchut<\/em>, and there is no need to awaken the Malchut<\/em> in the rainbow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 39) In the exile, when the Creator departs from the queen, how does the queen dress in a clothing of Malchut<\/em> in the exile, in three lines? In the exile, she has no attire of kingship. Rather, in the exile she is dressed in black, and says, \u201cDo not look at me that I am swarthy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rather, that rainbow that appears in exile is Angel Matat, called Shadai<\/em>. He is the servant of ZA<\/em>, the elder of his house, who governs all that is his. His sons, who were rewarded with Ruach<\/em>, from the perspective of Matat, are called \u201cservants of the Creator.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The sons of the queen, those who were rewarded with Nefesh<\/em> from Malchut de<\/em> Atzilut<\/em>, are called \u201csons.\u201d This is why we pray, \u201cWhether as sons, whether as servants.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 40) When the Temple was ruined, they explained, servants were disgraced and men of action dwindled. They indeed are called \u201cmen of action,\u201d after Malchut<\/em>, of whom it is written, \u201cMany daughters worked valiantly, and you have excelled them all,\u201d with respect to the action. Thus, Malchut<\/em> is called \u201caction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n But if there is a righteous whose merits and works are to illuminate Malchut<\/em> with them, to undress her clothes of darkness of literal without secrets, and to adorn her with garments of illuminating colors of the secrets of Torah, it is written, \u201cAnd I will see it, to remember the everlasting covenant.\u201d \u201cAnd I will see it,\u201d in the illuminating secrets of the Torah, since a light is called a \u201csecret.\u201d That is, light is secret in Gematria<\/em> [Raz<\/em> (Reish<\/em>–Zayin<\/em>)], (207). For this reason, light implies the secrets of Torah, as it is written, \u201cFor a candle is a Mitzva<\/em> [commandment\/good deed], and the Torah is light.\u201d It is of those secrets that it was said, \u201cAnd I will see it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 41) When he sees the rainbow, Malchut<\/em>, the anger at his son leaves him and the king\u2019s wrath subsides. And the king said to her, during the prayer of standing before him, \u201cWhat is your wish? For it will be given to you; and what is your request?\u201d At that time she asks for her redemption and the redemption of her children with her, as it is written, \u201cLet my soul be given me at my wish, and my people at my request.\u201d But a rainbow that is seen in the world during the exile is that of the servant, Matat. That is, the illumination of the Zivug<\/em> of above dresses in Matat, and he is the carrier of the three colors of the rainbow, three lines. Sometimes she comes out in whole, when his sons qualify their works, and sometimes she is not whole, when his sons do not qualify their actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 42) Those who straighten their works before the king, who are jealous for his name and sanctify him in the public, so they are sanctified above, among the angels appointed over the rest of the nations. Every appointee is known for his appellation, but Israel are known above by the name HaVaYaH<\/em>, which is the life of all the appellations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 43) Every name and appellation testifies to the Creator. The name El<\/em> [God] testifies that he has an ability over every God, as it is written, \u201cI would seek unto God.\u201d \u201cUnto God\u201d is the master of every God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Elokim<\/em> testifies that he is the God of God. ADNI<\/em> testifies that he is the Master of masters, and likewise with each name. Each angel has a certain name, to recognize every sect of angels by the name of its king. But Israel are known to him by the name HaVaYaH<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 44) The meaning of the matter: One man may have several horses. Likewise, Israel are the children of Adam, who is HaVaYaH<\/em> filled with the letters Aleph<\/em>, which is Adam in Gematria<\/em> (45), since the souls of Israel are the generations of ZA<\/em> and Malchut<\/em>, and every son must be to his father like a horse and a donkey to the load, and be subjugated to him. This is the meaning of what is written, \u201cO Lord, You preserve man and beast.\u201d Israel are Adam\u2019s children, HaVaYaH<\/em> of MA<\/em> (45), and make themselves as a beast under Him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 34) One who has seen a rainbow in its colors should bless, \u201cBlessed is He who remembers the covenant.\u201d This […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":14056,"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":[28],"class_list":["post-14115","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-zohar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
