105) \u201cAnd God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night.\u201d \u201cAnd God said unto him in the dream, \u2018I too know.\u2019\u201d Why the difference that in the nations of the worlds it writes, \u201cAnd God came,\u201d and for Israel, it does not write, \u201cAnd God came\u201d? God here is that force, the minister appointed over them, as it is written, \u201cAnd God came unto Balaam at night,\u201d which is the force appointed over him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
106) \u201cAnd God said unto him in the dream, \u2018…and I too withheld you from sinning against Me.\u2019\u201d When it writes, \u201cFrom sinning against Me,\u201d is it necessarily the Creator? Certainly, it is only His minister, as it is written, \u201cI too know.\u201d It writes, \u201ctoo,\u201d to include, meaning although it is known above me, I too know. \u201cAnd I too withheld…\u201d the word \u201ctoo\u201d comes to include\u2014even though you were prevented from above, \u201cI too withheld you.\u201d \u201cWithheld you from sinning against Me.\u201d In \u201csinning,\u201d the Aleph<\/em> is missing [in Hebrew], for it should have written \u201cFrom sinning\u201d [with Aleph<\/em> at the end of \u201csinning\u201d]. What does that mean? After all, the sin is not against the minister but against the Creator, so why did he say, \u201cfrom sinning against Me\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n 107) Indeed, because of the iniquities of the people below, it was blemished above. By the iniquities of the people below, their minister above was removed from his governance, as it is written, \u201cAnd I too withheld you,\u201d although the matter depends on higher than me. \u201cAnd I too withheld\u201d includes himself, that he, too, withheld him. \u201cFrom sinning against Me,\u201d so that your sins will not be in me like a needle stuck in the flesh, so you will not cause me to be removed from my governance because of your sins and I will be loathed like that needle that is stuck in the flesh. It is so that you will not cause what is written, \u201cAnd therefore I abhorred them,\u201d like those thorns that are stuck in the flesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This teaches us that the sins of people make a flaw above. The flaw is as it is written, \u201cAnd for your transgressions was your mother put away.\u201d Also, the sins of the peoples blemish their ministers, who were removed from their governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 108) Hence, since the sins of the lower ones blemish above, they offer a sacrifice. That offering is as it is written, \u201cAnd for your transgressions was your mother put away,\u201d where the sin causes separation between ZA<\/em> and Malchut<\/em> for his flaw, since Malchut<\/em> was sent away due to the sin. And the offering that they sacrifice brings the upper world, ZA<\/em>, closer to the lower world, Malchut<\/em>, and everything becomes one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 105) \u201cAnd God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night.\u201d \u201cAnd God said unto him in the dream, […]<\/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-14673","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-zohar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
