84) It is written, \u201cMan, his days are as hay; as a bud of the field, so he buds. A spirit passes through him and he is gone; he is out of place. The grace of the Lord is over those who fear Him from everlasting to everlasting.\u201d \u201cMan, his days are as hay; as a bud of the field.\u201d This is the known field, Malchut<\/em>. \u201cSo he buds,\u201d meaning he is renewed and seemingly returns to the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

85) \u201cA spirit passes through him and he is gone.\u201d This is a high, concealed, and holy spirit, which is more concealed than all. It is the spirit of Bina<\/em>, which includes Matat. And then, \u201cand he is gone.\u201d This is Enoch, of whom it is written, \u201cAnd he is gone,\u201d because God took him. This is the upper God [Elokim<\/em>], Bina<\/em>, the upper spirit, a concealed and hidden spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe is out of place,\u201d since the small spirit of Matat is included in the upper spirit of Bina<\/em>. \u201cAnd the grace of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting,\u201d meaning that the high priest, Hesed<\/em>, admits him into the Holy of Holies. He takes him and begets him as before, and renews his youth like an eagle, returning to being a youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The angels are parts of Malchut<\/em>. As Malchut<\/em> contains two states, where in the first state she receives from Bina<\/em>, and in the second state she receives from ZA<\/em>, likewise, the same two states exist in Matat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Receiving from\u00a0Bina<\/em>. At that time the spirit of\u00a0Bina<\/em>\u00a0descends on him and he is included in it as a candle in a torch, and he is gone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Afterward he comes to a state where he is born again from\u00a0Malchut<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In the state where he receives from Bina<\/em> he is regarded as old, GAR<\/em>. In the state where he receives from ZA<\/em> and Malchut<\/em> he is called a \u201cyouth,\u201d VAK<\/em>, and they return on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cA spirit passes through him and he is gone.\u201d This is a high, concealed, and holy spirit that is more concealed than all, the spirit of Bina<\/em>, which includes Matat. It is so in a state where he receives from Bina<\/em>. And then, \u201cAnd he is gone; he is out of place,\u201d since the small spirit of Matat is cancelled in the upper spirit of Bina<\/em> as a candle before a torch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cThe grace of the Lord is over those who fear Him from everlasting to everlasting.\u201d This is in a state where he receives from ZA<\/em>. The high priest, Hesed<\/em> de<\/em> ZA<\/em>, lets him into the Holy of Holies, to Yesod<\/em> de<\/em> Malchut<\/em>, and takes him and begets him as in the beginning, where he is rebuilt as he was before he came to the first state. He returns to being a youth, meaning he returns to being VAK<\/em> again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    86) \u201cA spirit passes through him and he is gone.\u201d \u201cGone\u201d means wrath [the words are spelt the same], which is \u201cwrath, and indignation, and trouble.\u201d It is one of those evil angels called Avarah<\/em> [wrath]. The verse relates to one who has died without children, who was incarnated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    87) In order for the supervisors to not recognize the childless dead he must change his place, change the name, and change the act. It is as with Abraham, of whom it is written, \u201cGo forth from your country and from your kindred,\u201d a change of place. \u201cAnd your name shall no more be called Abram, and your name shall be Abraham.\u201d This is the change of name. And there is also the change of act, where he changed from the bad deeds he did at first, to doing good deeds. This is the allegory of the spirit of the childless dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Creator acts similarly to man when He expels him from that world because he died childless, and He brings him in an incarnation to this world, in the son that was born from the levirate marriage of his wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    88) And because he changes his face when He expels him from the upper world, it is written, \u201cA spirit passes through him,\u201d related to one of those evil angels, whose name is Avarah. When he sees that he is changed, when he meets him, and the rest of the saboteurs ask about him, \u201cIs he your harm-doer?\u201d He replies to them and says, \u201cAnd he is gone,\u201d because he does not know him, as it is written, \u201cHe changes his face and You will send him away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    89) When he was expelled from his place and was planted elsewhere, once he came in a body in this world, it is written about him, \u201che is out of place,\u201d since \u201cHe shall take other dust and shall plaster the house,\u201d meaning he took another body, from another dust, and the body is called a \u201chouse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It is as it is written, \u201cAnd he shall break down the house, its stones, and its timbers.\u201d These are bones, tendons, and flesh that were in him before, and returned to being dust. It is written about it, \u201cA serpent, dust is its bread.\u201d That dust, which was made of the body of the dead, is regarded as a serpent because it was infected with it. Hence, afterward it is written, \u201cAnd he shall take other dust and shall plaster the house,\u201d building for himself bones and tendons, and is renovated like an old house that is made new, and it is renovated indeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    90) And the words, \u201cHe is out of place,\u201d are written about his spirit, for his small spirit is included in the upper spirit. His small spirit, which was blemished because he did not have children, has now been included\u2014through the incarnation\u2014in a complete spirit of the child that was born from the levirate marriage of his wife, who is fit to bear children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It can be likened to a tree that does not bear fruit. Its branches are taken and grafted unto branches of another, higher tree, which does bear fruit. They mingle with each other and they, too, bear fruit. At that time it is written about it, \u201cHe is out of place,\u201d since the first, flawed, spirit, even its place is unrecognized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    91) Likewise, a man who dwells in a city where there are bad people, and cannot keep the Mitzvot<\/em> of the Torah, and does not succeed in the Torah, changes his place, uproots himself from there, and strikes root in a place where good people with Torah and with Mitzvot<\/em> dwell. The Torah is called \u201ca tree,\u201d as it is written, \u201cIt is a tree of life for they who hold it.\u201d Also, man is a tree, as it is written, \u201cFor man is the tree of the field.\u201d The Mitzvot<\/em> in the Torah are as fruits, and it is written about it, \u201cOnly the trees of which you know that they are not trees for food, them you should destroy and cut down,\u201d destroy from this world and cut down from the next world. This is why he must uproot himself from that place where there are wicked, for he will not be able to succeed in Torah and Mitzvot<\/em> there. He should plant himself elsewhere, among righteous, and he will succeed in Torah and Mitzvot<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    92) A man without children is called \u201cbarren,\u201d and his wife is called \u201cbarren.\u201d Likewise, Torah without Mitzvot<\/em> is called \u201cbarren.\u201d For this reason, it is not the learning that is most important, but the act.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
