13. When the soul\u2014who is from the abundance of the upper Yesod\u2014sins, a fire of above controls her, which is a kind with its kind, and a fire of below controls below, and there is peace on all of Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
14. One who parts from this world without sons comes to the world another time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
15. After their passing from the world, the wicked ones wander in the air until their iniquity is completed. Afterwards, they enter a body in this world a second time, in order to refine it. If he is righteous, he will not enter another time into a body. If he is not righteous, he enters a third time, as it is written, \u201cBehold, God does all these things, twice, three times, with a man.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If he is not righteous in these three times, he will have no correction, as it is written, \u201cThat soul shall be utterly cut off.\u201d For this reason, one must be careful with one\u2019s soul, lest he will come to the world another time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
16. There is evidence from Nadav and Avihu, who died because they were half bodies since they did not marry women, for a man and a woman are two halves of the body that become one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have another support from the text regarding coming into a brother\u2019s wife, since his seed had not been rooted, and he will not have to come into a body another time. We also learned from Onan, of whom it is written, \u201clest he should give semen to his brother,\u201d which is semen that his brother would incarnate in. Thus, the dead without sons incarnates another time in the son of the brother who marries his wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
17. It is written, \u201cA son has been born to Naomi.\u201d Was he born to Naomi? But Ruth gave birth to him. This teaches that that Obed son of Ruth was Machlon, who incarnated in him, for he died without sons. Thus, one who dies without sons incarnates another time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
18. Because of it, you will see, a righteous who suffers, since perhaps he was already in the world at another time, and he was not so righteous, and died without repenting. Therefore, now that he comes to the world, his sin is deducted from him, and this is a righteous who suffers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
19. Also, a wicked who is happy, since perhaps he was in the world another time and died without sons, and was an incomplete righteous, and now he is being paid for his merits in this world, as it is written, \u201cFor the ways of the Lord are straight, and the righteous walk in them, and the wicked will fail in them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
20. It is written, \u201cIf brothers dwell together, and one of them dies and has no son, the widow of the dead man shall not be married to a stranger; her husband\u2019s brother shall go in to her.\u201d \u201cIf brothers dwell together\u201d means that they recognize in their hearts that they are brothers, as it is written, \u201cThe Lord sits as King forever.\u201d \u201cSits\u201d means that He is recognized as king over all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
21. But if he had sons, he does not need levirate marriage. It is written, \u201cHer husband\u2019s brother shall go in to her.\u201d Why is this needed? So as not to diminish from the imagination that contains all the imaginations, Malchut, of whom it is written, \u201cI have given symbols through the prophets,\u201d and from whom all the souls are extended. One who dies without sons diminishes the expansion of the souls from Malchut to the world, and thus diminishes her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
22. It is written, \u201cThere is one who has no other; he has neither a son nor a brother.\u201d \u201cThere is one\u201d is a person who passed away from this world, lacking the good, which is one, and he has no right to make another. One who passes away from this world alone, without another, without sons, is diminished and is gone from the imagination that contains all the imaginations, Malchut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
23. \u201cTwo are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor.\u201d \u201cTwo are better\u201d means one who has a son. \u201cThan one,\u201d than one who has no son, since \u201cthey have a good reward for their labor.\u201d It is written, \u201cFor if they fall, one will pick up the other,\u201d meaning in the same imagination, Malchut, the mother of his soul, and it is written, \u201cwhereas the one who falls, there is no other to pick him up.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
