That letter is a sign of the angel of death, for&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;wishes to be built with the letter&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;and with the letter&nbsp;<em>Tav<\/em>, to create the combination&nbsp;<em>Mavet<\/em>&nbsp;[\u201cdeath,\u201d&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>&#8211;<em>Tav<\/em>]. Pinhas, who clothed in Isaac, took the letter&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>, snatched it from the angel of death, and connected it to himself. When the angel of death saw that Pinhas snatched the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>, he promptly turned back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>465) It is because when Pinhas was jealous in his heart, he clothed in Isaac, and arose to being in the number&nbsp;<em>Reish<\/em>&#8211;<em>Het<\/em>&nbsp;(208), that his name adds up to be so, and Isaac add up to be so, too. When he saw the letter&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;flying in the firmament, he snatched it and connected it to him, and promptly became a&nbsp;<em>Romach<\/em>&nbsp;[spear], since the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;connected with the&nbsp;<em>Gematria<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Reish<\/em>&#8211;<em>Het<\/em>&nbsp;in his name, and created the combination&nbsp;<em>Romach<\/em>&nbsp;[<em>Reish<\/em>&#8211;<em>Mem<\/em>&#8211;<em>Het<\/em>], as it is written, \u201cand took a spear in his hand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>466) The letter&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;was the first sign of&nbsp;<em>Adam HaRishon<\/em>&nbsp;to build death on the world, since that letter flew over Adam\u2019s head when it was written, \u201cAnd she took of its fruit.\u201d&nbsp;<em>MiPirio<\/em>&nbsp;[of its fruit] has the letters of&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Pirio<\/em>, and the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;was expecting the letters&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Tav<\/em>&nbsp;when it was written,&nbsp;<em>VaTochal<\/em>&nbsp;[and she ate],&nbsp;<em>VaTiten<\/em>&nbsp;[and she gave],&nbsp;<em>VaTipakachna<\/em>&nbsp;[and (their eyes) were opened]. This is when death was built on the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>467) Pinhas saw the letter&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;flying over the heads of Israel. He saw the form of an open&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;full of blood. He said, \u201cIt is a sign of the angel of death.\u201d He promptly snatched it and mentioned the explicit name on it, and lowered it to himself. Pinhas in&nbsp;<em>Gematria<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>Reish<\/em>&#8211;<em>Het<\/em>. He connected with a&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>, and created the combination&nbsp;<em>Romach<\/em>&nbsp;[<em>Reish<\/em>&#8211;<em>Mem<\/em>&#8211;<em>Het<\/em>]. And then, \u201cAnd took a spear [<em>Romach<\/em>] in his hand.\u201d It is written about it, \u201cFrom over the children of Israel in that he was jealous with My jealousy among them.\u201d&nbsp;<em>Betocham<\/em>&nbsp;[among them] has the letters of&nbsp;<em>Betoch Mem<\/em>&nbsp;[inside the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>], since within the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;was the jealousy that he was jealous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;is male of the&nbsp;<em>Sitra Achra<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Dechura<\/em>&nbsp;that appear with the&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>.&nbsp;<em>Tav<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Nukva<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Man\u2019ula<\/em>, from which comes death.&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>, which connects&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;with&nbsp;<em>Tav<\/em>. Death was not sentenced on the world before the two letters&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Tav<\/em>&nbsp;were mated by the&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>, for then the&nbsp;<em>Man\u2019ula<\/em>&nbsp;acquired the strength to put the living to death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This letter flew over Adam\u2019s head, since the tree of knowledge is&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;from the left, and the sin was that he extended the&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;in her from above downward, following the wish of&nbsp;<em>SAM<\/em>&nbsp;and the serpent who seduced him. When she began to extend, the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Dechura<\/em>&nbsp;of the&nbsp;<em>Sitra Achra<\/em>\u2014which is the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;that flew over&nbsp;<em>Adam HaRishon<\/em>\u2019s head, on his&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>\u2014promptly appeared. When it is written, \u201cAnd she took of its fruit,&nbsp;<em>MiPirio<\/em>&nbsp;[of its fruit] has the letters of&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Pirio<\/em>. When he began to extend the&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, the fruit\u2014following the counsel of the serpent\u2014the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;appeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the male of&nbsp;<em>Klipa<\/em>&nbsp;does not have the power to put to death, since death comes from the side of the&nbsp;<em>Tav<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Man\u2019ula<\/em>, and the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;was waiting for the letters&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&#8211;<em>Tav<\/em>, which are the&nbsp;<em>Nukva<\/em>&nbsp;of the&nbsp;<em>Sitra Achra<\/em>, from whom comes death after she mates with the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>. When it is written,&nbsp;<em>VaTochal<\/em>&nbsp;[and she ate],&nbsp;<em>VaTiten<\/em>&nbsp;[and she gave],&nbsp;<em>VaTipakachna<\/em>&nbsp;[and (their eyes) were opened], then death was built in the world, since at the end of the eating, at the end of the extension, the&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&#8211;<em>Tav<\/em>&nbsp;appear, as it is written, \u201cSin crouches at the door.\u201d At that time&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;mated with&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&#8211;<em>Tav<\/em>&nbsp;and death came to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pinhas saw the form of an open&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;full of impure blood. The extension from below upward is called \u201cimpure blood\u201d because of the iniquity of Peor. There he saw the form of the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>, the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;of the male of the&nbsp;<em>Sitra Achra<\/em>&nbsp;that wait to mate with the&nbsp;<em>Nukva<\/em>&nbsp;of the&nbsp;<em>Sitra Achra<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&#8211;<em>Tav<\/em>, and bring death. Promptly, he snatched from the&nbsp;<em>Sitra Achra<\/em>&nbsp;and connected her to&nbsp;<em>Kedusha<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is so because when&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;with the impure blood in her stand in the&nbsp;<em>Panim<\/em>, when the desire is to extend her from above downward, although she is full of&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>, she is in the authority of the&nbsp;<em>Sitra Achra<\/em>, and the&nbsp;<em>Sitra Achra<\/em>&nbsp;draws from her the death. However, if we place the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;and the impure blood in her in the&nbsp;<em>Achoraim<\/em>, repelling this extension due to the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;in her, then she returns to the&nbsp;<em>Kedusha<\/em>&nbsp;because she becomes the guardian of the&nbsp;<em>Kedusha<\/em>, so the wicked will not draw from her from above downward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pinhas mentioned the explicit name on her and lowered her to him. The middle line,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, is the explicit name, the four-letter name. The middle line diminishes the&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>&nbsp;of the left, in which the&nbsp;<em>Sitra Achra<\/em>&nbsp;and the wicked are gripped. In order for the letter&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;to be corrected into being the guardian of the&nbsp;<em>Kedusha<\/em>, it was necessary to first mention the explicit name of&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>&nbsp;on her, to diminish the&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>&nbsp;of the left. Afterward he lowered her to him, and she descended and became part of the&nbsp;<em>Kedusha<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;<em>Gematria<\/em>, Pinhas is&nbsp;<em>Reish<\/em>&#8211;<em>Het<\/em>, Pinhas clothed in&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;of the left of&nbsp;<em>Kedusha<\/em>, in Isaac, who is&nbsp;<em>Reish<\/em>&#8211;<em>Het<\/em>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em>Gematria<\/em>, in order to rule over the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>, and became the combination&nbsp;<em>Romach<\/em>, with whose&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;he killed Zimri and Cozbi. This was done by the&nbsp;<em>Romach<\/em>&nbsp;[spear], which diminished the&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>&nbsp;of the left and stopped the plague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was jealous for the holy name that they were connecting to another authority, since the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;that was in the hands of the&nbsp;<em>Sitra Achra<\/em>&nbsp;actually belonged to the holy name, to be a guardian over the&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, from the suckling of the wicked. Within the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;was the envy that he envied at the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;being in the hands of the&nbsp;<em>Sitra Achra<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the angel of death saw that Pinhas snatched the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>, he promptly turned back. And since Pinhas pushed the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;back, he cancelled her from being&nbsp;<em>Panim<\/em>, cancelled her extension, and put her in the back. And since the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;is all the power of the angel of death, then the angel of death was pushed back along with her, and was unable to execute death anymore. This is why \u201cthe plague was stopped.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>468) He was envious for the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;because it is the sign of death, the sign of forty smites, the sign of the four deaths of the courthouse [forms of capital punishment]. From there she ascends and descends, descends and ascends. When she ascends in the number, she is forty; when she descends she is four, four directions that spread from the male and female&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Tuma\u2019a<\/em>. And because of them there are the four deaths of the courthouse. And from there they ascend to forty, as forty is a sign and&nbsp;<em>Kelim<\/em>&nbsp;of the angel of death. Pinhas took it and arose inside the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>. This is why it is written, \u201cAnd I did not destroy the children of Israel in My jealousy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;are&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Dechura<\/em>&nbsp;that extend with the disclosure of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;from above downward. These&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;are still not death, but rather only smites and suffering. However, at the end of those&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;awakens the&nbsp;<em>Man\u2019ula<\/em>, death, as it is written, \u201cSin crouches at the door.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;is the sign of death, since death descends and hangs down from her. She is the sign&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Malkot<\/em>&nbsp;[smites], the sign of the four deaths of the courthouse. That is, the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;comprises both these&nbsp;<em>Behinot<\/em>, smites, as well as the four deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;she ascends and descends, descends and ascends. When she ascends in the number, she is forty. When she descends she is four. That is, above, in the place of disclosure of the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>, she receives only smites and there is no death in her. However, when she descends at her end, the four deaths of the courthouse that come from the&nbsp;<em>Man\u2019ula<\/em>&nbsp;appear in her, as it is written, \u201cSin crouches at the door.\u201d And since the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;finally descends to being in the four deaths, the angel of death uses her to execute the death with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is what Pinhas took, the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;from above, while she was there in the&nbsp;<em>Sitra Achra<\/em>, only in the forty smites. He established her and connected her to the&nbsp;<em>Kedusha<\/em>, and arose inside the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>, connecting her to the&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Kedusha<\/em>, to be keeping from the outer ones. Also, the illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;is called \u201crising.\u201d This is the meaning of \u201cAnd he arose,\u201d that he received the illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;inside the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>, that the&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&nbsp;was keeping the&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;for him from all around against the outer ones. In this manner, he established her in&nbsp;<em>Kedusha<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>469) How did Pinhas turn the Creator\u2019s wrath away? It is written, \u201cAnd the dead by the plague were twenty-four thousand.\u201d If none of them had died, I would say he turned his wrath. But since all of them died, what is the point in saying \u201cturned away My wrath &#8230; And I did not destroy the children of Israel\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But woe to a person who blemishes his seed; woe to one who does not keep his seed properly, for all those died in the plague. But not even one of Israel died. Rather, in the tribe of Shimon, when the mixed multitude came, they mingled with the women of the tribe of Shimon after they converted, and they gave birth to children. Some of them died in the calf, and some of them died in the plague. The others, who remained, died here. It is written, \u201cAnd the dead by the plague,\u201d and it is not written, \u201cWho died,\u201d but \u201cthe dead,\u201d indicating that they were already dead, since the wicked are called \u201cdead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>470) And because Israel and all of that holy seed were kept, they were all counted and not even one of them was missing. This is why it is written, \u201cAnd I did not destroy the children of Israel.\u201d This means that others, who were not from the children of Israel, He did destroy. And also, \u201cturned away My wrath from the children of Israel\u201d means that He had turned it away from Israel, but from others, who were mixed multitude, He did not turn it away. This is why the text specifies, \u201cFrom the children of Israel.\u201d And because of it the number of children of Israel was as before, and the Creator connected them with Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is similar to the case with the calf, where it is written, \u201cAnd there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.\u201d They were all from the mixed multitude, and to show that they were not from the children of Israel. Afterward it is written, \u201cAnd Moses assembled all the congregation of the children of Israel,\u201d indicating that they were all in wholeness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>464) \u201cAnd Pinhas, the son of Elazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, and arose from the midst
