412) It is written, \u201cThe fruit of citrus trees, branches of palm-trees.\u201d The fruit of a citrus tree is a citron. But does a citron come from a citrus tree? After all, there are several thorns surrounding it in the citron tree. However, it is written, \u201cThe Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He took from the man, and brought her to the man,\u201d and also, \u201cThis is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh.\u201d And this is the fruit of a citrus tree, for man is called \u201ca tree.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The inner meaning of the words, \u201cThe Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib,\u201d concerns ZA<\/em> and Malchut<\/em>, which were emanated as two Partzufim<\/em> [plural of Partzuf<\/em>]. Afterwards, the Emanator cut them off from one another and Malchut<\/em> was a rib of ZA<\/em>. ZA<\/em> is called \u201cthe tree of life,\u201d and Malchut<\/em> is the fruit of that tree, the citron, which implies to Malchut<\/em>. This is why the Torah calls it, \u201cThe fruit of a citrus tree,\u201d as it is the fruit of a citrus tree\u2014ZA<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 413) \u201cBranches of palm trees.\u201d The palm tree amounts to seventy years, which imply to Yesod<\/em> de<\/em> ZA<\/em>, in which the seventy upper years were completed, meaning HGT<\/em> NHYM<\/em>. Each of them consists of ten, hence they are seventy. This was tied, connected above in ZA<\/em> and below in Malchut<\/em>, which is why they are called Kapot<\/em> [\u201cbranches,\u201d but also Kafut<\/em>, meaning tied], such as in Kfitu<\/em> [Aramaic], which means tied. This is so because Yesod<\/em> rises to ZA<\/em> and to Malchut<\/em>, and it is written, \u201cFor all that is in the heaven and in the earth.\u201d Yesod<\/em> is called \u201call,\u201d and it is tied to the heaven, ZA<\/em>, and to the earth, which is Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 414) The fruit of a citrus tree is an altar, Malchut<\/em>, which bears fruit and brings out fruits to all sides. It is called \u201cThe fruit of a citrus tree\u201d because every seventy years\u2014which are HGT<\/em> NHYM<\/em> de<\/em> ZA<\/em>, where each consists of ten, thus they are seventy\u2014Malchut<\/em> is given a share and she is blessed by all of them. Also, ZA<\/em> is called \u201ca citrus tree,\u201d and one who sins and blemishes the altar\u2014Malchut<\/em>\u2014sins and blemishes the whole of the seven Sefirot<\/em> of ZA<\/em>. This is because Malchut<\/em> is tied opposite from that one who is bound and tied above, meaning Yesod<\/em> de<\/em> ZA<\/em>. This is the reason why Malchut<\/em> was tied to the seven Sefirot de<\/em> ZA<\/em>, and this is also why it is written, \u201cThe fruit of citrus trees, branches of palm-trees,\u201d to show that they are bound in each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 415) It is written, \u201cThis is the consecrated portion of Aaron and the consecrated portion of his sons.\u201d \u201cThis\u201d is the altar, Malchut<\/em>, which was anointed by Aaron, Hesed<\/em> de<\/em> ZA<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cAnd you shall anoint the altar of burnt-offering, and all its vessels.\u201d \u201cAnd the consecrated portion of his sons\u201d are the rest of the Sefirot de<\/em> ZA<\/em>, which hang down from Hesed<\/em>. This is so because the altar, which is Malchut<\/em>, is anointed by all of them, and it grows, is blessed, and is purified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 416) On the holiday of Sukkot<\/em> [Feast of Tabernacles], the altar is circled once each day, and in the end, seven times. What does that teach us? A king who invites guests and is busy with them had an only daughter. She told him, \u201cMy lord the king, you are not watching over me because of the guests.\u201d He told her, \u201cMy daughter, I shall raise up to you one gift each day, which is worth as much as all of them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 417) Thus, each day of the feast, Israel would offer seventy bulls, corresponding to the seventy nations of the world. The altar, meaning Malchut<\/em>, said to the holy King, ZA<\/em>, \u201cThere are portions and shares for all the nations. And what do you give to me?\u201d He told her, \u201cEach day, the seven high seas\u2014which are the seven Sefirot de<\/em> ZA<\/em> because each is mingled with all the others\u2014will surround you and give you seventy portions each day.\u201d This is because each consists of ten, corresponding to the seventy bulls offered during the feast, which correspond to the seventy nations. It turns out that each day, Israel offer corresponding to all the nations of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 418) It is seven parts each day even though they only circle once, since each day, Malchut<\/em> is blessed by all of them, since the seven Sefirot<\/em> are mingled in one another and the particular Sefira<\/em> of each day comprises all seven. Thus, they are seventy, corresponding to the seventy nations. At the end of the seven days, on the seventh day of the feast, Malchut<\/em> is blessed from the place where the anointing oil is found, from Bina<\/em>, where there is the abundance of Hochma<\/em>, called \u201coil.\u201d This is the reason for the seven circles, corresponding to all those seven days, which are the seven Sefirot<\/em> of ZA<\/em>, to continue and to keep the blessings for her from the wellspring of the stream that always flows and never stops, which is Bina<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It turns out that her blessing each day of the seven days of Sukkot<\/em>, through the seven days, is a blessing from the wellspring of the stream, from Yesod<\/em> de<\/em> ZA<\/em>, which does not always flow but stops, meaning it does not shine in wholeness but during prayer, Sabbaths, and on holidays. And also, on the seventh day of Sukkot<\/em>, when the altar is circled seven times, she is blessed seven times together, and then all the blessings are kept in her from the high place where the wellspring flows and never stops, which is Bina<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 419) On each of the days of the holiday, it is said about her and declared, \u201cWhile the barren gives birth to seven, and she who has many children languishes.\u201d \u201cWhile the barren gives birth to seven\u201d is the assembly of Israel, which is blessed each day by the seven Sefirot<\/em> of ZA<\/em> and in the end rises to the high number in Bina<\/em>. \u201cAnd she who has many children languishes\u201d are the idol worshipping nations of the world, who are of a great number of thirteen bulls on the first day, and then dwindle each day down to seven bulls. Thus, the altar atones for the iniquities of Israel, the altar purifies them and imparts upon them blessings from above downwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 420) \u201cAnd boughs of thick trees\u201d is the holy King, Tifferet<\/em>, which grips to both sides\u2014Hesed<\/em> and Gevura<\/em>. This is so because Tifferet<\/em> is the middle line, which contains the two lines within it. This is the reason why the myrtle is three branches. \u201cAnd boughs of thick trees\u201d means a branch that will become the bough of a thick tree, which will grip to the right and to the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd willows of the brook\u201d are two pillars, Netzah<\/em> and Hod<\/em>, from which the abundance flows to the branches of palm trees, which is Yesod<\/em>, which is gripped above in ZA<\/em> and below in Malchut<\/em>. The citron, Malchut<\/em>, emerges from the thorns of the trees, from the Dinim<\/em>, which are called the thorns of ZA<\/em>, which is called \u201ca tree,\u201d since she is built from the Dinim<\/em> of ZA<\/em>. And so it is with the branches of palm trees, which are Yesod<\/em> that grips to them as well, meaning to the thorns of the tree, the Dinim<\/em> de<\/em> ZA<\/em>, since the Yesod<\/em> leans to the left of ZA<\/em>, where there are Dinim<\/em>. And certainly, everything that comes out to the world comes out of four kinds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 421) \u201cThen I will go to the altar of God.\u201d The altar of God is the altar of above, Malchut<\/em>. It indicates Din<\/em>, the well of Isaac, meaning Malchut<\/em>, which is called \u201ca well,\u201d and is made of Gevura<\/em>, which is Elokim<\/em> [God], called Isaac. And sometimes she is called \u201cthe altar of HaVaYaH<\/em>,\u201d meaning Rachamim<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cHe arose from before the altar of the Lord [HaVaYaH<\/em>].\u201d Hence, the worlds inherit from Malchut Din<\/em> and Rachamim<\/em>, since she is nourished from the side of Din<\/em> and from the side of Rachamim<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 412) It is written, \u201cThe fruit of citrus trees, branches of palm-trees.\u201d The fruit of a citrus tree is a […]<\/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-14773","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-zohar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
