24) In the meantime, Rabbi Shimon came to Moses and said, \u201cMoses, one day, me and the friends went to a tavern, and there was a boy there. He rose and set up a lantern and a table for us by himself, as though he was twenty years old, but he was only about five. He set up the table with every kind of food and drink and said, \u2018The sages said that the landlord slices and the guest blesses. However, \u2018I am young in years and you are old; therefore I was shy and afraid to tell you what I think\u2019 before I received your permission. They replied, \u2018Say it, my son, angel of the Lord.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
25) \u201cHe told us, \u2018Do you wish for a delightful bread without war or for bread with war? We learn that eating time is war time. If you wish for a war to be over it, none will eat but the one who wins the war. He will eat and slice for all.\u2019 The friends told him, \u2018You are small, my son, and still do not know how mighty ministers wage war with a sword, with a swaying of the sword, with a spear, with a bow, and the arrows of the bow, with a sling, and with the stones of the sling.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
26) \u201cHe told us, \u2018Let not him who girds boast like him who has taken off,\u2019 for it was made clear in the Shema<\/em> reading that indeed, anyone who reads the Shema<\/em> reading by his bed, it is as though he is holding a double-edged sword. It is written, \u2018The high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands.\u2019 The swaying of the sword\u2014it should be swayed only to VAK<\/em>, HGT<\/em> NHY<\/em>, to crown him over the heavens and over the earth, and over the four directions of the world.\u201d Vav<\/em> de<\/em> HaVaYaH<\/em>, ZA<\/em>, is the body of the sword; Yod<\/em> de<\/em> HaVaYaH<\/em> is the head of the sword; Hey<\/em>–Hey<\/em> in HaVaYaH<\/em> are the two mouths of the sword, and the sheath of the sword is the name ADNI<\/em>, Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 27) A spear is the 248 [Ramach<\/em>] words in the Shema<\/em> reading, that along with the six words in the unification, \u201cHear O Israel,\u201d are Romach<\/em> [spear], Ramach<\/em> with a Vav<\/em>. The shield with the sword is three angels\u2014Michael, Gabriel, Nuriel\u2014Acronym MGN [Heb: Magen<\/em> (shield)], serving the three patriarchs, HGT<\/em>: Michael is Hesed<\/em>, Gabriel is Gevura<\/em>, and Nuriel is Tifferet<\/em>. The bow is what tosses the arrows. Each seed that is not shot like an arrow does not beget. This implies to Yesod<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The sling is the Shema<\/em> reading. The five stones of the sling are five words, \u201cHear O Israel the-Lord our-God the-Lord,\u201d HGT<\/em> NH<\/em>. Opposite them, \u201cAnd David took … five smooth stones from the brook.\u201d When he put them in the sling\u2014the lip that reads the Shema<\/em> reading, Divinity\u2014all five became one stone and he killed the Philistine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 28) \u201cThus far, I have been tossing this stone to SAM<\/em>, a stone of siege, and I have destroyed the siege and lowered it down. This is why I told you, \u201cLet not him who girds boast like him who has taken off.\u201d Now it shall be clear to you that I know how mighty ministers wage wars with swords, with a spear, with a bow, and with a sling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n We were awestruck and could not speak before him. He told us, \u201cWise men, now we shall see who will earn a bread that is the bread of Hamotzi<\/em> [the \u201cWho brings forth\u201d blessing].<\/p>\n\n\n\n 29) The boy started and said, \u201cAnd it shall come to pass that when you eat from the bread of the earth, you will raise a contribution to the Lord.\u201d By what does Divinity, the letter Hey<\/em> of Hamotzi<\/em>, rise, so that all who slice should be meticulous about the Hey<\/em>? Indeed, we learn that chaff and straw are exempted from the tithing because when Malchut<\/em> is in chaff and straw, when the Klipot<\/em> suckle from it, she is in prison. Then the letter Hey<\/em>, Divinity, has no permission to rise to the Mem<\/em>, ZA<\/em>, to become MA<\/em> with her, HaVaYaH<\/em> of Alephs<\/em>, which is 45 in Gematria<\/em>. This is the contribution, the letters Torah, Mem<\/em>, the Hey<\/em> [5] of the five books of Moses, in which there is a Mem<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cAnd Moses was on the mount Mem<\/em> [Gematria<\/em>, 40] days.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 30) The chaff and the straw of wheat. The tree that Adam HaRishon ate was wheat. By eating from the tree of knowledge, he brought Het<\/em> to Tet<\/em>\u2014being the Klipot<\/em> chaff and straw\u2014to the letter Hey<\/em>, Malchut<\/em>, and the Yod<\/em>, Yesod<\/em>, her ten, departed from her. For this reason, when she is in chaff and straw, which correspond to foreskin and exposing, opposite the two skins of the circumcision\u2014the one that is cut off and the other that is exposed\u2014he is exempted from tithing, Yod<\/em>. It is so because the letter Yod<\/em> is not permitted to bond with the letter Hey<\/em>, who are a man and a woman\u2014Yod<\/em> in the man and Hey<\/em> in the woman. Hence, all who slice must be precise with the Hey<\/em> and must slice from a place that has thoroughly ripened, since ripening is the completion of the fruit. This is the Vav<\/em>, ZA<\/em>, which completes the Hey<\/em>, Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 24) In the meantime, Rabbi Shimon came to Moses and said, \u201cMoses, one day, me and the friends went to […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":14245,"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-14249","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-zohar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
