The year is a bride; Malchut is called \u201cyear,\u201d and there is no bride except in twelve months, as it is written, \u201cAnd made the sea standing on twelve oxen,\u201d since the sea is Malchut. Twelve oxen are four Sefirot HB TM, with three lines in each, which are twelve in each place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since there is no correction of the bride except in twelve, the groom must therefore please her and her house, her and her corrections, such as above. This is why it is written about Jacob, \u201cand he took of the stones of the place.\u201d The place is Malchut; the stones of the place are twelve. One who pleases the bride, pleases her maidens, which are her Sefirot in Beria. The maidens are twelve, and all of it is a year. This is why the groom must be happy with his wife for one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>44. This joy is not his, but hers, as it is written, \u201cto bring happiness to his wife.\u201d It is not written \u201cto be happy,\u201d but \u201cto bring happiness,\u201d, that he should please the bride. Similarly, the bride has no joy except in the body and in her corrections, and one who pleases them is righteous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why it is written, \u201cHe shall be free at home one year.\u201d \u201cFree\u201d means he will not toil with worldly matters so he will have a desire to please her. \u201cFree\u201d from everything, free from taxes, property taxes, and poll tax. Free, in that he will not go to the army to make war, so there will be joy above and below, and to awaken joy above. Happy is the holy nation whose lord delights in them; happy are they in this world, and happy are they in the next world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>43. \u201cWhen a man has
