13. It is written, \u201cA well that the ministers dug.\u201d AVI, who are called \u201cministers,\u201d engendered the well, Malchut, as it is written, \u201cAnd the Lord God built the rib,\u201d AVI that built Malchut. \u201cThat the nobles of the people mined,\u201d the patriarchs. \u201cDug\u201d means as it is written, \u201cSo I bought [dug] her for fifteen shekels of silver.\u201d These are the patriarchs, HGT. And the descendants of Israel who connected in Malchut on the fifteenth of Nissan in the exodus from Egypt, a mighty hand awakened upon them, called \u201csilver,\u201d the king\u2019s right hand, Hesed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
14. \u201cThe nobles of the people mind, with the scepter and with their staffs.\u201d This means that through Moses, the legislator, Malchut connected to the twelve tribes who are her sons, and who are around her. When Israel engage in the Torah that was given by the legislator, twelve pillars above, the twelve upper tribes, support the Shechina. This is why it is written, \u201ctheir staffs,\u201d since Malchut leans on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
15. That holy well has twelve gates, the holy city of Jerusalem, Malchut. Twelve high gifts come out to the world from these gates: goodness, blessing, peace, help, atonement, Torah, wisdom, life, desire, wealth, honor. Each of the twelve tribes suckled for itself a high gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
16. It is written, \u201cA well that the ministers dug, the nobles of the people mined, with the scepter and with their staffs. And from the desert, Mattanah [gift].\u201d A desert is words of Torah. A high gift came to them from that desert when they do not stop supporting it through engagement in Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
17. When a man marries a woman, he adheres to the Shechina, since before he married a woman, the Shechina was not on him, as the Shechina is not present in a flawed place. When the Shechina is not on him, she denies him twelve upper gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
18. For this reason, anyone who is without a wife is without good,\u201d as it is written, \u201cIt is not good for the man to be alone.\u201d He is without joy, as it is written, \u201cand rejoice, you and your household.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is without blessing, as it is written, \u201ca blessing may rest on your house,\u201d and without peace, as it is written, \u201cYou shall know that your tent is at peace,\u201d and without help, as it is written, \u201cI will make him a helpmate against him,\u201d and without atonement, as it is written, \u201cand atoned for himself and for his household.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And without Torah, as it is written, \u201cIs my help not within me? And is counsel driven from me?\u201d and without wisdom, as it is written, \u201cWomen\u2019s wisdom built her home,\u201d and without life, as it is written, \u201cSee life with the wife whom you love,\u201d and without desire, as it is written, \u201cand without desire, as it is written, \u201cHe who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord,\u201d and without wealth, as it is written, \u201cThe heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of spoil,\u201d and without honor, as it is written, \u201cA graceful woman supports honor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
19. A virtuous woman, Malchut, is called \u201cfear of the Lord,\u201d as it is written, \u201cthe fear of the Lord is pure.\u201d When a man marries a woman, all twelve gates open in order to add blessings on his head, since he sits in the concealment of Malchut, and is completed such as above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
20. It is written about this, \u201cfrom the desert, Mattanah [gift],\u201d where by engaging in the Torah, we are rewarded with gifts. \u201cAnd from Mattanah to Nahliel, to which streams of abundance are drawn. And from Nahliel to Bamot,\u201d overcoming, when he overcomes and sits at the top of the world and engages in the sublime matters in the Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
21. \u201cAnd from Bamot to the valley that is in Sdeh Moav, to the top of Pisgah which overlooks Yeshimon.\u201d When a person adheres to the Torah and sits at the top of the world, he must lower himself so the evil inclination which slanders him, does not govern him, to veer him off the path. This is why it is written, \u201cAnd from Bamot to the valley that is in Sdeh Moav.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to the great ascent, he must make himself as low as a valley, so that the one who dwells in Sdeh Moav will indeed part from him, namely the evil inclination, who is called Lot, and who dwells in Moav since his first adhesion, to elicit fruits of bad deeds in the world, was in Moav, as it is written, \u201cThe firstborn bore a son and called his name Moab.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
22. If a person parts from him, he ascends to be the Rosh [head] and dwells in Pisgah, in Malchut. \u201cOverlooks\u201d means that the looking above is on him. \u201cYeshimon\u201d is the next world, Bina, who is called Yeshimon, which looks at this Pisgah, the holy city of Jerusalem, Malchut, since Bina looks, meaning bestows in Malchut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
23. When Israel repented and raised the well, Malchut, it was given to them as a gift. It is written about this, \u201cAnd from the desert,\u201d from repentance, \u201cto Mattanah [gift].\u201d When they revert to the bad way, then \u201cAnd from Bamot to the valley,\u201d as it is written, \u201cand we will dwell in the valley across from the house of Peor.\u201d For this iniquity, they dwelled below in the valley that is in Sdeh Moav, since the side of Moav caused them this iniquity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
24. After they received their punishment, they ascended to the Rosh and raised their banners over all, as it is written, \u201cAnd it came to pass after the plague that the Lord said to Moses and to Elazar son of Aaron the priest saying, \u2018Take the head [Rosh],\u201d raising their banners over all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
