392) While they were seated, the eagle came to them with a single lily in its mouth. It cast it in front of them and left. They saw it and were glad. Rabbi Pinhas said, \u201cDid I not tell you that this eagle is coming and going by the errand of his Master? A lily [Shoshana<\/em>] is an intimation of Shushan Edut, and the Creator has sent it to us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

393) \u201cFor the Leader on Shushan Edut; Michtam of David to teach.\u201d That Shushan is a testimony to the work of creation, a testimony to the Assembly of Israel, a testimony to the upper unification. There are thirteen leaves in the lily, and all are standing on a single root. There are also five leaves in it, which are strong from the outside, covering that lily and protecting her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

394) It is all in Hochma<\/em> [wisdom]. The thirteen leaves imply the thirteen qualities of Rachamim<\/em> that the Assembly of Israel, Malchut<\/em>, inherits from above, from the thirteen qualities of AA<\/em>. They all grip to one root, one covenant, Yesod<\/em> de<\/em> ZA<\/em>, by which Malchut<\/em> receives the thirteen qualities of Rachamim de<\/em> AA<\/em>. Hence, the root of the thirteen leaves of the lily below them is an example of the covenant, the foundation of everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The five strong leaves that surround her are fifty gates, HGT<\/em> NH<\/em> de<\/em> Bina<\/em>, each of which consists of ten, and they are 500 years that the tree of life, ZA<\/em>, walks in, for it receives them in the place of Bina<\/em>, whose digits are hundreds, and they are 500 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

395) The lily is a testimony to the work of creation, since the whole work of creation is certain words in Tevuna<\/em>, which add up to Elokim<\/em> of the work of creation, which is Bina<\/em>. It points above and below. It points above, in the next world, Bina<\/em>, and points below, in the Assembly of Israel, Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

396) The lily is a testimony to the work of creation, which stands in all those signs, the thirteen qualities of Rachamim<\/em> and the five Sefirot HGT<\/em> NH<\/em>. \u201cIn the beginning God created\u201d is the lily, Bina<\/em> and Malchut<\/em>, since it points upward and downward. The thirteen leaves are thirteen words [in Hebrew] from \u201cIn the beginning God created\u201d to \u201cand the spirit of God.\u201d These are \u201cThe heaven and the earth, and the earth was Tohu<\/em> ve<\/em> Bohu<\/em> [unformed and void], and darkness was on the face of the deep, and the spirit.\u201d These are the thirteen leaves of the lily, implying thirteen qualities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The five strong leaves that surround those thirteen are the words \u201chovered over the face of the water, and [God] said.\u201d That is, from the word \u201cGod\u201d of \u201cand the spirit of God\u201d to \u201cGod\u201d of \u201cand God said,\u201d which are five others, implying the five Sefirot HGT<\/em> NH<\/em>. Afterward \u201cLet there be light.\u201d This is the core and root of the lily, with whom all the degrees are included and gripped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

397) The lily is a testimony to the unification, since five strong leaves are the roots and the unification to which these thirteen leaves grip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord\u201d corresponds to five leaves of the lily. \u201c[Is] One\u201d is the core and the root to which all are gripped, since one is thirteen in Gematria<\/em>, and it is the king\u2019s ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The growing of the lily is thirteen inner leaves, and five leaves atop them from without. There are two Behinot<\/em> in the lily, thirteen and five. It is a testimony to the work of creation, Bina<\/em>, and a testimony to the Assembly of Israel, Malchut<\/em>, and a testimony to the upper unification, ZA<\/em> and Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a testimony to the Assembly of Israel, Malchut<\/em>, since in Malchut<\/em> there are the two Behinot<\/em>, the five Sefirot HGT<\/em> NH<\/em> that she receives from Bina<\/em>, within which is the Mochin<\/em> of Gadlut<\/em> that extend from the thirteen qualities of Rachamim<\/em>. Thus, the growing of the lily is a testimony to the degrees of Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lily is a testimony to the work of creation, since these two Behinot<\/em> are implied in the work of creation. It is so because there are three times \u201cGod\u201d there: \u201cGod created,\u201d \u201cThe spirit of God,\u201d \u201cand God said.\u201d From \u201cGod created\u201d to \u201cand the spirit of God\u201d there are thirteen words, implying Mochin de<\/em> Gadlut<\/em>. From \u201cAnd the spirit of God\u201d to \u201cAnd God said\u201d there are five words implying the five Sefirot HGT<\/em> NH<\/em>. Thus, the two forms of growing in the lily are a testimony to the work of creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two Behinot<\/em> of the lily are a testimony to the unification of ZA<\/em> and Malchut<\/em>, for there are five words [in Hebrew] opposite the five leaves of the lily: \u201cHear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord,\u201d which are HGT<\/em> NH<\/em>. \u201cHear, O Israel\u201d are NH<\/em>; \u201cthe Lord our God, the Lord\u201d is HGT<\/em>; \u201cis one\u201d is Malchut<\/em>, which connects to HGT<\/em> NH<\/em> de<\/em> ZA<\/em>. Through their unification with one another appear the thirteen qualities of Rachamim<\/em>, the Mochin de<\/em> Gadlut<\/em>, hence \u201cone\u201d in Gematria<\/em> is thirteen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord\u201d corresponds to the five strong leaves that grow in the lily. In themselves they are HGT<\/em> NH<\/em> in ZA<\/em>. \u201cOne\u201d is the core and the root, to which all grip, the Malchut<\/em>, with which all five Sefirot de<\/em> ZA<\/em> unite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne\u201d in Gematria<\/em> is thirteen because the unification of Malchut<\/em> with ZA<\/em> reveals the thirteen qualities of Rachamim<\/em> become revealed. For this reason, Malchut<\/em> is called \u201cthe king\u2019s ring,\u201d his seal, since the wholeness of his illuminations depends on her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

398) \u201cAs a lily among the thorns, so are Israel among the idol worshipping nations.\u201d And so is the Assembly of Israel, Malchut<\/em>, among the multitude of ministers appointed over the nations. As long as the lily stands blocked and is not open, there is neither scent in her, nor is she raised or taken out from among the thorns. When the lily is open and emits scent, she is taken out from among the thorns, and the Assembly of Israel will enjoy them, as it is written, \u201cOpen for me, my sister, my wife.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Malchut<\/em> receives from the left line, she is blocked and there is no scent in her, illumination of Hochma<\/em>, since the Hochma<\/em> in her is devoid of Hassadim<\/em> and she cannot illuminate without Hassadim<\/em>. But once she receives strength from ZA<\/em>, from the middle line, her blockage opens and she emits fragrance, which is illumination of Hochma<\/em> clothed in Hassadim de<\/em> ZA<\/em>. This is the meaning of the words, \u201cOpen for me, my sister, my wife.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
