When He Let His Hand Down, Amalek Prevailed"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>\u201cWhen he let his hand down, Amalek prevailed.\u201d The question is, Why did Moses let down his hands?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing is that Amalek is described in the holy books as a&nbsp;<em>Klipa<\/em>&nbsp;[shell\/peel] against faith. Moses\u2019 hands are faith, since hands imply attainment, from the words, \u201cFor the hand attains,\u201d and all of Moses\u2019 attainment is through faith. This is why Moses is called \u201cthe loyal shepherd.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By this we can interpret that when Israel saw that Moses raised his hands, meaning that Israel exalted Moses\u2019 hands, Israel prevailed to the extent of the exaltedness of the matter, since one who despises faith cannot receive the vitality that is found in the power of faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the meaning of \u201cMoses\u2019 hands were heavy,\u201d meaning it was heavy and hard for Israel to maintain the importance of Moses\u2019 hands. This means that they felt heaviness in faith, that the burden of faith was a burden and a toil for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey took a stone and placed it under him.\u201d&nbsp;<em>Even<\/em>&nbsp;[stone] comes from the word&nbsp;<em>Havanah<\/em>&nbsp;[understanding]. This means that they took all the understandings and concepts and placed them under Moses, meaning under faith. That is, faith, which is called \u201cMoses,\u201d rode over the mind, called \u201cunderstanding\u201d and \u201cstone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aaron and Hur supported his hands, meaning the faith, helping Israel raise Moses\u2019 hands. In other words, they gave strength to the people of Israel to exalt faith. This is the meaning of \u201cHis hands were faith until the sun set.\u201d In other words, they took upon themselves the faith up to the measure of the annulment of all the power of the intellect, called \u201csun.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWhen he let his hand down, Amalek prevailed.\u201d The question is, Why did Moses let down his hands?
