55) \u201cA Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah.\u201d This song is a praise that is greater than all other praises that the sons of Korah were rewarded with praising Him. \u201cA Song; a Psalm\u201d is a repetition. This indicates praise over praise, a praise divided into two praises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
56) The sons of Korah were rewarded with praising the assembly of Israel, for it is written, \u201cGreat is the Lord, and highly to be praised, in the city of our God, His holy mountain.\u201d When is the Creator called \u201cgreat\u201d? When the assembly of Israel, Malchut<\/em>, is with Him, as it is written that He is great, \u201cIn the city of our God,\u201d meaning He is great with the city of our God, Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is so because ZA<\/em>, which is called HaVaYaH<\/em>, is always in Hassadim<\/em> that are covered from Hochma<\/em>. Hochma<\/em> is GAR<\/em>, called Gadlut<\/em>. When He extends Hochma<\/em> for Malchut<\/em>, called \u201cthe assembly of Israel,\u201d He has GAR<\/em> and He is called, \u201cgreat.\u201d But without the Malchut<\/em>, He has no Hochma<\/em> and He is not great, since Hochma<\/em> appears only in the Sefira<\/em> Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 57) Why is it that we should say here, \u201cIn the city of our God\u201d? It would have been enough to say, \u201cIn the city of His holy mountain.\u201d Indeed, a city that is Malchut<\/em> is called, \u201cthe fear of our God,\u201d and it is the praise of Israel. The writing teaches us that the King without the queen is not a king, he is not great, and he is not praised. Hence, anyone who is not male and female is devoid of any praise and is not considered a man. Moreover, he is unfit to be blessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 58) It is written, \u201cThis man was the greatest of all the sons of the east.\u201d It is written in the book of Rav Hamnuna Saba that Job\u2019s mate was like him in the fear of the Creator, and he was called \u201cgreat\u201d because of his wife. Here too, \u201cGreat is the Lord, and highly to be praised,\u201d in what is He great? \u201cIn the city of our God, His holy mountain,\u201d Malchut<\/em>. The Creator is called \u201cgreat\u201d from her perspective, since the Hochma<\/em> is Gadlut<\/em> [greatness], and does not pour unto ZA<\/em> unless he is with the Nukva<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 59) This is why this praise is mentioned on the second day, because the first three days of the act of creation correspond to the three lines of ZA<\/em>, and the second day is the left line, from which Hochma<\/em> extends to Malchut<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cLet his left hand be under my head.\u201d Why does it not say, \u201cThat it was good,\u201d if it is so important that Hochma<\/em> extends from there? It is because they were destined to part. This means that as long as ZA<\/em> and Malchut<\/em> did not part with each other, and Malchut<\/em>\u2014in whom there is Hochma<\/em>\u2014was cleaved to ZA<\/em> and they were both one Partzuf<\/em>, it was not good, as it is written, \u201cIt is not good for the man to be alone.\u201d This is because when he is alone and the Nukva<\/em> was not yet taken from him, it is written, \u201cIt is not good.\u201d This is why it does not write, \u201cThat it was good\u201d on the second day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 60) \u201cGreat is the Lord, and highly to be praised.\u201d As it was written, He is great only when He is with the Malchut<\/em>. \u201cBeautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth\u201d is the praise of the bonding between them, since \u201cBeautiful in elevation\u201d is the Creator, and it is Tzadik<\/em>, Yesod<\/em> de<\/em> ZA<\/em>. \u201cThe joy of the whole earth\u201d is because then it is the joy of all and the assembly of Israel, Malchut<\/em>, is blessed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 55) \u201cA Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah.\u201d This song is a praise that is greater than all […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":14654,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"topic":[28],"class_list":["post-14663","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-zohar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
