It is similar to the issue of mixture [of wool and linen] in the&nbsp;<em>Tzitzit<\/em>. It was said, \u201cThat which I forbade you here, I permitted you here. I forbade you mixture everywhere; I permitted you mixture in the&nbsp;<em>Tzitzit<\/em>. I forbade you a brother\u2019s wife; I permitted you a levirate woman.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As one grafts apples or dates by kind, and it is forbidden to graft one kind with another kind. It is written about it, \u201cFor is the tree of the field a man.\u201d Likewise, man is forbidden to mix one kind with another, which is incest. But with a levirate, one kind is grafted with another so as to not lose the soul of the dead and not let his name be blotted out from Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>46) This is the meaning of the incarnation. A wheel [<em>Gilgul<\/em>&nbsp;means both \u201cincarnation\u201d and \u201crolling\u201d in Hebrew] does not move without the aqueduct that turns it. Likewise, the aqueduct is the letter&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>. Here is where the turning of the wheel takes place. Like a wheel that does not move without the aqueduct, here, too, the wheel is the letter&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>, and it does not move without the aqueduct, which is&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A levirate is the letter&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>. The letters of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;are&nbsp;<em>Ben<\/em>&nbsp;[son of]&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>, since the son,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, emerges from the&nbsp;<em>Zivug<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>HB<\/em>, hence he is implied in his mother\u2019s name, \u201cson of&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>,\u201d the letters of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;[<em>Ben<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>]. He created the next world with the letter&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, which is a long world,&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>47) For this reason, one who does not have a son, corresponding to&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>, the next world, is not among those in the next world. The sea,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, the next world, corresponds to the&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>, since the&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;comes out from between&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>, where&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, called \u201csea.\u201d For this reason,&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;is also called \u201cthe next world,\u201d like her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several streams divide from the sea,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, the&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, which circle the world,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, until they return to the sea,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, from which the rivers,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, came out. It is written about it, \u201cAll the streams go to the sea, and the sea is not full. To the place where the streams go, there they go again,\u201d until they return as they went out. As the streams came out of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, so they return to&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>48) It is the same with man\u2019s soul. It is written, \u201cAnd the spirit shall return to the God who gave her.\u201d She will return to Him in wholeness, as He had given her. If she returns in repentance, which is upper&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, the letters&nbsp;<em>Ben<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>, the letter&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;in her is doubled in the letter&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;in her: ten times five, which are fifty. Thus, she is&nbsp;<em>Yam<\/em>&nbsp;[fifty] in&nbsp;<em>Gematria<\/em>, the letters&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;times&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The letters of&nbsp;<em>Ben<\/em>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;is the stream that comes out of her,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, who divides into several streams,&nbsp;<em>VAK<\/em>, like a tree that expands into several branches. When a person repents, he clings to the stream,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, and returns with his streams to&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, called \u201crepentance,\u201d as well as \u201csea,\u201d as it is written, \u201cAll the streams go to the sea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>49) If she does not return there as a complete soul, as she was complete at the time she was given, it is written about her, \u201cThere they return to go.\u201d She and all the other souls like her, who are incomplete, return to this world to reincarnate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is likewise if he is not complete with a son or has no daughter, implied in this world,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, by which to be completed in this world,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, created with a&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>. It is written about it, \u201cThese are the generations of the heaven and the earth when they were created, meaning \u201cHe created them with&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>.\u201d He must reincarnate because his soul is incomplete, and it is written about him, \u201cThere they return to go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>50)&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>HGT<\/em>, are as it is written, \u201cBut God does all these twice and thrice with a man.\u201d The souls come in an incarnation in three letters,&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>. It is written about the wicked, \u201cTherefore, I have seen wicked buried, but they came.\u201d That is, although they came in a reincarnation, they remained wicked, causing what is written, \u201cThese are your gods, O Israel,\u201d blemishing the&nbsp;<em>ELEH<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>. It is written about them, \u201cFor three transgressions of Israel, for four, I will not reverse it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that once they corrupted themselves three times in their incarnation and were not rewarded with being corrected in&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>, in which it is written, \u201cWhere the tree falls, there it shall be\u201d [be is written as&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>]. The correction of the tree, man, is in&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>. Then \u201cFor four I will not reverse it.\u201d This is the bottom&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>, the fourth letter of&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>, and He will not reverse it a fourth time in an incarnation that corresponds to her. Instead, they are sentenced in Hell in destruction, anger, and wrath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>51) The clothing of the three letters&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;are known in the rainbow, and they are white, red, and green. One who comes in an incarnation for the first time is white, corresponding to the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>. In the second time he is red, corresponding to&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>, and in the third he is green, corresponding to&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>, Jacob, the middle line, which includes&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And because the letters&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>HG<\/em>, were included in Jacob, and the tree struck root, was planted, grew, and produced good fruit, it is written, \u201cNot now shall Jacob be ashamed, nor shall his face turn pale now,\u201d meaning that his&nbsp;<em>Merkava<\/em>&nbsp;will not be in the evil inclination, the serpent, and all kinds of bad animals. This is why it is written about him, \u201cHe wrestled with the angel and prevailed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And because man is called a \u201ctree,\u201d as with a tree planted in a place that does not bear fruit, it is uprooted and planted elsewhere. For this reason, a person is not considered sterile until he goes to the land of Israel and is planted there in a woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>52) Likewise, a righteous who is cast from place to place, from house to house, it is as though he incarnated many times. He shows&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>&nbsp;[mercy] to thousands, to those who love him, until he is rewarded with being whole in the next world. But the wicked are not brought in an incarnation more than three times. If he repents, the exile atones for the iniquity, the move from place to place is regarded for him as an incarnation, and he is completed in a righteous. This is why the righteous no longer return to their dust, meaning do not reincarnate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>53) The verse, \u201cAnd he shall take other dust and shall plaster the house,\u201d which implies the wicked, means that he will take in an incarnation another body that comes from the dust, and will correct the soul. It is also written, \u201cMan shall return on dust,\u201d meaning that he will return in an incarnation, and it is written, \u201cThe dust of the earth shall again be as it was.\u201d It will return in an incarnation because the wicked is infected, and has nothing but an evil woman with him, the evil inclination, for an evil woman is leprosy to her husband, the body of the wicked. His correction is to drive her away and be cured, to drive away that body and incarnate, taking another body and healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The evil woman, the body, caused what is written, \u201cAnd He drove out the man. \u201cMan\u201d is the soul. \u201cThe man\u201d is the body, the mate of the man, the soul, as it is written, \u201cAs a bird that wanders from her nest, so a man wanders from his place.\u201d Because the man caused the bird, the soul, to wander from her nest because of him. She was expelled from her high place due to his sins. For this reason, \u201cSo a man wanders from his place,\u201d reincarnating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>54) This is why it is written, \u201cThe bird, too, has found a home, and the sparrow has a nest, where she may have her young.\u201d \u201cThe bird, too, has found a home\u201d is a levirate. The bird is the soul of the childless deceased. \u201cHas found a home\u201d means she has incarnated and came in the body of the levirate, which became her home. \u201cAnd the sparrow has a nest,\u201d means the redeemer, who marries her, meaning he has found a nest in the levirate. \u201cWhere she may have her young\u201d are the son and daughter that they beget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy is one who makes a nest, who marries his brother\u2019s wife and redeems his brother\u2019s goods. The levirate is sold to him because she is not his but his brother\u2019s, hence she is called \u201chis brother\u2019s goods.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>55) This is why Moses said, \u201cBut the Lord was impregnated in me for your sake.\u201d Here the meaning of&nbsp;<em>Ibur<\/em>&nbsp;[impregnation] is that&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;was impregnated by the soul of Moses. Moses saved 600,000 souls of Israel several times, coming in an incarnation in several generations and saving them. For this reason, the Creator related everyone\u2019s merit to Moses. This is also why we learn that a woman in Egypt gave birth to 600,000 in one time, which is Moses, who is equal to the 600,000 souls of Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>56) The manner is that those who know the secret say a gemstone to their disciples. If the disciples do not understand the intimation, they bring them this matter again in humor, as one who said that an egg dropped sixty volumes, since an egg came, having fallen from the bird that flew in the air, and struck these sixty volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The jokers said that he did not say it, but that a man wrote on paper the words, \u201csixty volumes,\u201d and an egg came, fell from the bird, and erased the words, \u201csixty volumes,\u201d that were written. The authors of the Torah did not tell jokes or say idle words in the Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>57) Rather, they clarified, \u201cShould you encounter a bird\u2019s nest before you on the way, in any tree, or on the ground, or fledglings or eggs, send the mother away and take the children for yourself.\u201d Fledglings are the authors of the Mishnah. Eggs are authors of the Bible. Fledglings are&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, to whom the authors of the Mishnah grip. Eggs are&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, to whom the authors of the Bible grip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He fell from that fallen one,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, who is called, \u201cwe shall fall,\u201d and \u201cable to fall,\u201d since falling comes from him, like a bird from which an egg falls. \u201cFalling comes from him\u201d is the citron, whose measure is that of an egg. That is, an egg and a citron are&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, hence the measure of a citron is as that of an egg. It is written about it, \u201cIn that day I will raise the fallen hut of David,\u201d which fell in exile and must be raised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These sixty queens fell with her, her&nbsp;<em>HGT<\/em>&nbsp;<em>NHY<\/em>, each of which comprises ten. They are called \u201cvolumes\u201d because they are tied to her [<em>Kerachim<\/em>&nbsp;means \u201cvolumes\u201d;&nbsp;<em>Keruchim<\/em>&nbsp;means \u201ctied\u201d], from the words, \u201cHow does one tie the&nbsp;<em>Shema<\/em>?\u201d Tying means connecting, so there is no cessation. Here, too, tying means her&nbsp;<em>VAK<\/em>, which are connected in her. They correspond to sixty tractates, since the oral Torah,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, is divided into sixty tractates, which correspond to sixty queens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd maidens without number\u201d are her virgins after her, her companions, the palaces in&nbsp;<em>Beria<\/em>, which are rules that are not counted because they are in&nbsp;<em>Beria<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interpretation: A bird,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, dropped an egg, dropped&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;into exile, and sixty volumes were erased, since by the fall, her&nbsp;<em>HGT<\/em>&nbsp;<em>NHY<\/em>, called \u201csixty volumes,\u201d were cancelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>58) The fallen is&nbsp;<em>Ben<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, within the fifty gates of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, which are&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>. When multiplying&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;with&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>, they are fifty.&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, called \u201cfallen,\u201d for he fell after the one of whom it is written, \u201cHow you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning,\u201d which is&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, who is called so after her two states: black and glorified.&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>&nbsp;fell after her, when she is in exile, in order to raise her. This is why he is called \u201cfallen,\u201d and not \u201cfell\u201d or \u201cfalling\u201d because there is falling in him, meaning that it is not that he is falling, but rather&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;has fallen from him, from heaven to earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;in him, for&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>&nbsp;includes the letters&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, and descends in them to raise the letters&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, of whom it is written, \u201cAnd they both went.\u201d It is as it is written, \u201cYou will surely send\u201d [written in Hebrew with the word \u201csend\u201d twice, for emphasis]. The first \u201csend\u201d is from the first Temple, which was ruined, corresponding to the first&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>. The second \u201csend\u201d is from the second Temple, which was ruined, corresponding to the bottom&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>&nbsp;descended to raise those two letters&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>, as it is written at that time, \u201cThe heavens will be glad and the earth shall rejoice,\u201d whose initials [in Hebrew] is&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>, since&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;connected to the letters&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>59) The sun appears during the day and covers itself at night, and illuminates in 600,000 stars. So is Moses. After he passed away from the world, he returns and incarnates in 600,000 souls of Israel if the generation is worthy. This is the incarnation of which Ecclesiastes said, \u201cA generation goes and a generation comes,\u201d and there is no generation of less than 600,000, \u201cand the earth forever stands,\u201d which is the Assembly of Israel,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, of which it is written, \u201cThe earth is My footstool,\u201d as well as \u201cAnd your seed will be as the dust of the earth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>60) \u201cA generation goes and a generation comes.\u201d The generation that goes is the generation that comes. A lame went, a lame came; a blind went, a blind came. Sages also explained that Moses was destined to receive the Torah at the generation of the flood, but he did not receive it then because there were wicked, as it is written, \u201cFor he, too, is flesh.\u201d \u201cFor he too\u201d has the letters of Moses [in Hebrew], and it is read \u201cFor he too,\u201d in order to cover the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ecclesiastes even removed the letter&nbsp;<em>Bet<\/em>&nbsp;from \u201cFor he, too\u201d in order to cover the matter. He said, \u201cI said that this, too, is vanity,\u201d meaning that it too, is Moses, and he removed the&nbsp;<em>Bet<\/em>&nbsp;in order to conceal the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>61) Jethro is named after Keini because he parted from Cain. It is written about Cain, \u201cI have gotten a man with the help of the Lord,\u201d since Eve saw Jethro by the holy spirit, that his sons would sit at the Hall of Hewn Stones, at the Sanhedrin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>62) So was Rabbi Pedat, who was in a hurry because he had very little food from the eve of Sabbath to the eve of Sabbath, as it was for Rabbi Hanina. Why is it that afterward a voice came out and said, \u201cThe whole world is nourished only for my son, Hanina\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>63) But previously, in the first incarnation, he caused the destruction of&nbsp;<em>Kof<\/em>&#8211;<em>Bet<\/em>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>, which is&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Bet<\/em>&#8211;<em>Kof<\/em>. Even so he had very little food.&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Bet<\/em>&#8211;<em>Kof<\/em>&nbsp;is an acronym for&nbsp;<em>Yichud<\/em>&#8211;<em>Beracha<\/em>&#8211;<em>Kedusha<\/em>&nbsp;[unification-blessing-holiness].&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;is unification,&nbsp;<em>EKYEH<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, from whom comes the springing for the letter&nbsp;<em>Bet<\/em>, which is blessing, the name&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, holiness, and from him the&nbsp;<em>Kof<\/em>&nbsp;was sanctified, his&nbsp;<em>Kedusha<\/em>, the name&nbsp;<em>ADNI<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first incarnation, Rabbi Pedat caused his portion\u2014<em>Kedusha<\/em>&nbsp;and blessing\u2014to be ruined, that the unification will not illuminate in them. Even so he had very little food. It is the same with Job. He was the son of a levirate, and for this reason he was punished for what had happened to him in the first incarnation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>45) It is the
