167. \u201cLet him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, for your love is better than wine.\u201d There are seven words here [in Hebrew], corresponding to the seven degrees on Malchut, and opposite them the seven damsels that are fit to give her, who decorate the Malchut to bring her to the king, ZA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
168. The seven words in the verse correspond to the seven degrees on Malchut. \u201cWill kiss me\u201d corresponds to the one who lives forever, Yesod of ZA, \u201cwith the kisses\u201d corresponds to the Hassadim of David [David\u2019s mercy], NH of ZA, \u201chis mouth\u201d correspond to Ysrael Saba, Tifferet of ZA, \u201cis better\u201d correspond to the first light, Hesed, the first in the ZAT, \u201cyour love\u201d correspond to Isaac, a friend from the womb, Gevura of ZA, \u201cthan wine\u201d correspond to the upper wine, Bina, which is always kept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The seven words \u201cLet him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, for your love is better than wine\u201d correspond to the seven degrees of Malchut: Bina, HGT, NHY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
169. The seven damsels that are fit to give her, who decorate Malchut, to bring her before the king, are seven angels: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Tzadkiel, Yofiel, Raziel. Several thousand and myriad camps are with them, as it is written, \u201cand maidens without number.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
170. There are three verses here, and in all of them, the words in the count are according to their matters: 1) The Song of Songs<\/em>, in which there are four words, the Merkava of the four names ADNI, Hosts, HaVaYaH, EKYEH, 2) the words \u201cLet him kiss me\u2026\u201d seven words in seven degrees, 3) the verse, \u201cThe fragrance of your oils is good \u2026\u201d ten words corresponding to the ten utterances, the ten Sefirot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the praise for the one, first rule, that all ten Sefirot in the verse, \u201cThe fragrance of your oils,\u201d are all in the one, the first degree in the seven degrees in the verse \u201cLet him kiss me with the kisses,\u201d which is the degree of Bina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The praise of Shabbat [Sabbath], \u201cGod, Master,\u201d is founded on this, as there are fifty words there, corresponding to the fifty gates of Bina, except for the final twelve words in that praise which are a praise that all the hosts of heaven give Him glory and greatness, Seraphim and animals and the holy wheels, which are in another praise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 171. In The Song of Songs<\/em>, in the verse, nard and saffron, spice reed and cinnamon, with all the trees of frankincense, myrrh, and aloes.\u201d Seven kisses in seven degrees in this verse are in seven kinds of perfumes: nard, saffron, spice reed, cinnamon, frankincense, myrrh, and aloes. This is so because the kisses are seven, and one kiss is extended from each degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, regarding Jacob\u2019s kisses, his kisses are incorporated in seven words [in Hebrew]: kissed, Jacob, Rachel, raised, the, his voice, and wept. There are seven words here, as in the verse, \u201cLet him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, for your love is better than wine.\u201d \u201cAnd wept\u201d is weeping from the joy of love, which corresponds to the words \u201cfrom wine,\u201d which is the love of the lovers, love of the left, which is wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 172. There are seven words in the verses of the kisses, to show that the kisses are seven Sefirot, and as Malchut is called Bat-Sheva [having seven], so are all her words in seven. This is why in the verse, \u201cYou will satiate me with joy in Your presence,\u201d do not pronounce it \u201csatiate\u201d but \u201cseven\u201d [similar sounding words in Hebrew], which are seven joys, for Malchut is joy, and all the matters of Malchut are in seven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 173. In all the kisses of love, there are no kisses like these, which the assembly of Israel, Malchut, awakened in the verse, \u201cLet him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth.\u201d Although they are seven kisses, three kisses are seen here in the verse: \u201cLet him kiss me\u201d is one kiss, \u201cwith the kisses\u201d is two, thus three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 174. Now she demands of those three kisses. When she says \u201cthan the kisses,\u201d it means that it is one kiss, since it is written \u201cthan the kisses,\u201d and it is not written \u201ckisses.\u201d \u201cKisses\u201d are two, and \u201cthan the kisses\u201d is one of them. Indeed, we should say \u201cthan the kisses,\u201d since one who asks, should not ask for much, since once he begins to give, he will take what he takes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Creator, we ask Him for little, and He gives a lot. Abraham asked for little, and the Creator gave him a lot. He asked for one son, and what is it written, \u201cI will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore,\u201d since such are the ways of the Creator. This is why she says \u201cthan the kisses\u201d and not \u201ckisses.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 167. \u201cLet him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, for your love is better than wine.\u201d There are […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":14603,"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-14733","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-zohar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
