This is the verse, \u201cAnd I saw what appeared like electrum, as a vision of fire, a house around her.\u201d This is the electrum, animals of fire, at times silent, at times murmuring. They are the crowd that listens to the reading of the book of Torah, who rush to the book of Torah when the speaking comes out from the reader\u2019s mouth. It is considered for them as though they are receiving the Torah on Mount Sinai. And when the Creator says, \u201cI,\u201d not a sound is heard, nor any speech of the animals, but His. Therefore, since the reader in the Torah is in the place of the Creator in Sinai, they must be silent at that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>314) Whenever the speech comes from the mouth of the Creator, the animals of fire are silent, for then is the time of the unification of voice and speech, the&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;stops, and the governance of&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>&nbsp;begins. This is the meaning of \u201csilent.\u201d And when He is silent, when there is still no unification between voice and speech, the animals of fire murmur. It is written about it, \u201cAnd all the people were seeing the voices,\u201d the voice of the roaring animals, and the torches that were coming out as the animals spoke in several kinds of tune before the king. This was before the Creator began to speak. And when He said, \u201cI,\u201d the animals were silent, and only His was heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who are silent during the reading of the book of Torah are in the shapes of these animals\u2014they are silent when the Creator speaks. The Creator commanded to admit the animals into a room \u201ca vision of fire, a house around her.\u201d These are the harsh&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;that appear at the time of disclosure of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>. The Creator established these&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;to be circling them as though they were a house for them, to keep them from the outer ones, so they do not suckle from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>315) Those who are silent in the prayer during the eighteen blessings, as there is the unification, will enter the room of this vision, as it is written, \u201cas a vision of fire, a house around her.\u201d This will be their reward in the future. Those who are silent for the law, who keep still in order to hear and to understand the law from their rav\u2014for the reward of the law is understanding\u2014will enter the room in the palace of that vision of the Torah, which is fire. It is written about it, \u201c\u2018Is My word not as fire?\u2019 Says the Lord; \u2018and like a hammer that shatters the rock?\u2019\u201d This is the rock of which it is written, \u201cAnd speak to the rock before their eyes, that it may yield its water,\u201d which is&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The waters of Torah come out corrected for those who engage in Torah&nbsp;<em>Lishma<\/em>&nbsp;[for her sake], and it is written about them, \u201cAnd the congregation drank, and their cattle.\u201d Those who do not engage in it&nbsp;<em>Lishma<\/em>, bitter waters come out to them, and it is written about them, \u201cAnd they made their lives bitter with hard work,\u201d which is a question, \u201cin mortar,\u201d which is all the more so, \u201cand in brick,\u201d which is the scrutinizing [the same letters as \u201cbrick\u201d in Hebrew] of laws.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>313) The third correction is the order of the
