Halitza is the release of the brother from that duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>97. \u201cIf brothers dwell together, and one of them dies and has no son, the wife of the dead man shall not be married outside the family to a stranger. Her husband\u2019s brother shall go into her and take her as his wife and perform the duty of a husband\u2019s brother to her.\u201d It is a commandment to take the brother\u2019s wife, since the brother\u2019s wife is the Dalet in the EhaD [one], and with the Aleph-Het [Hebrew: brother] in the EhaD, it is EhaD [One (from the Shema reading)], and the remaining brother must aim for that unification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the brother\u2019s heart is not whole in bringing the Aleph-Het over the Dalet, where the Dalet is the wife, the mate of the Aleph-Het, but aims for his own pleasure, he causes separation and brings Sam, another god, in the middle, and it is written about him, \u201cHe would waste it on the ground, so as not to give offspring to his brother.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At that time, the tip disappears from the letter Dalet of EhaD, and it becomes a Reish, and the word is turned into Aher [other\/another]. This is why it is written, \u201cAnd if it came to pass that he went into his brother\u2019s wife, he would waste it on the ground, so as not to give offspring to his brother.\u201d Wasting the semen denies him several blessings, and causes separation to the unification. For this reason, \u201cBut Er, Judah\u2019s firstborn, was wicked in the eyes of the Lord, and the Lord put him to death.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>98. The unification of Aleph-Het with Dalet is through a righteous. Because Boaz overcame his inclination and prevailed to go into his brother\u2019s wife for the purpose of a commandment, he is called \u201crighteous.\u201d This is why he is called Boaz, the letters of Bo [in Him] Az [strong], strong with his inclination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is written, \u201cBehold, God does all these things, twice, three times, with a man.\u201d This is Yod-Hey-Vav, which incorporates three letters in the righteous, who is Yesod, a man, in order to go into the bottom Hey, Malchut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>99. Bina is Ben [son of] Yod-Hey. Because of her, it is written, \u201cNow previously in Israel, concerning the redemption and the transformation, to make any matter binding, a man would take off his shoe \u2026 and this was a testimony in Israel.\u201d Here, the change of name implies, which is MATZPATZ [Mem-Tzadi-Peh-Tzadi] here, \u201cNow previously in Israel.\u201d It is a change of place, EKYEH, \u201cWhere is the place of His glory to admire Him.\u201d Yod-Hey-Vav is EKYEH, and this is a change of place, the change of the work of ADNI. The Aleph of ADNI is EKYEH, the Yod of ADNI is HaVaYaH, and both change in ADNI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>100. \u201cThis was the testimony in Israel.\u201d The testimony is upper Ima, Bina, as it is written, \u201cBind up the testimony; seal the Torah among My disciples.\u201d \u201cBind\u201d is Bina. Because it is written, \u201cBind up the testimony,\u201d it sounds as though \u201ctestimony\u201d is Bina, the seal of the world, the seal of heaven and earth, ZA and Malchut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Concerning the transformation, this is the lower Shechina, Malchut. In which place did Malchut hide herself? In her own young man, Angel Matat, and he changed her. There, Malchut is called Mishna. And Adam, of whom it is written, \u201cAs the glory of a man to dwell at home,\u201d it is written about him, \u201cYou change his face and send him away.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*Yivum (levirate marriage) is the duty of the brother of a married man who died without children to marry the
