When he would crouch over the offering, joy was in all because it was welcomed, as it is written, \u201cThe glory of the Lord appeared to the people.\u201d Were it not on this day, the confusion of the death of the sons of Aaron, then from the day they came out of Egypt there was no such contentment above and below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>135) It is a&nbsp;<em>Mitzva<\/em>&nbsp;[commandment] to burn holies in the fire. \u201cBut what is left over from the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire.\u201d There is \u201choly,\u201d there is \u201cholies,\u201d and there is \u201choly of holies.\u201d What pleasure does the Creator have in the burning of holies? Is it for Isaac, that when Israel are in trouble, Isaac\u2019s ashes rise before Him and hence the offering must be burnt to ashes, to mention his merit, for if they should be burned, they will be saved because of him? Or is it for the sons of Aaron, who were like the burning of the holies, as it is written, \u201cAnd fire came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed them, and they died,\u201d and their death was atonement for Israel, like the burning of the holies? Is that only an interpretation, too?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>136) There are three fires in a candle: white fire, black fire, and azure fire, corresponding to the Torah [Pentateuch], Prophets, Hagiographa, and corresponding to Priest, Levite, and Israel. Azure is Divinity, which is close to us and hovers over the lower ones, clinging to those wicks, which are wings of&nbsp;<em>Mitzva<\/em>, for it was said about them, \u201cThey shall make for themselves tassels [<em>Tzitzit<\/em>],\u201d and this azure is Divinity,&nbsp;<em>Din<\/em>, which consumes sacrifices and offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>NRN<\/em>&nbsp;of a person are called \u201cholies.\u201d The&nbsp;<em>Nefesh<\/em>&nbsp;is holy, the&nbsp;<em>Ruach<\/em>&nbsp;is holies, and the&nbsp;<em>Neshama<\/em>&nbsp;is holy of holies. In the secrets of Torah, the meaning of the burning of holies is clarified in the burning of a person\u2019s&nbsp;<em>NRN<\/em>, which is the holy of holies before the Creator. What is the joy that the Creator derives from burning the souls that are called \u201cholies\u201d? These three fires are opposite the Torah, Prophets, and Hagiographa, where white fire corresponds to Torah,&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>, the black fire corresponds to Prophets,&nbsp;<em>NH<\/em>, and the azure fire to Hagiographa,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These correspond to Priest, Levite, and Israel, three lines. It follows that Torah corresponds to a Priest, right line, Prophets to a Levite, left line, and Hagiographa to Israel, middle line. We should understand, the Torah, Prophets, and Hagiographa are&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>NH<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, which are one below the other. How can they be compared to Priest, Levite, and Israel, who are three lines, where the right is opposite the left, and the middle one is between them, and they are all at the same degree?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing is that it is similar to&nbsp;<em>AVI<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>YESHSUT<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>ZON<\/em>, which are also three degree one below the other. And yet, they become three lines in the same degree because when&nbsp;<em>AVI<\/em>&nbsp;raise their&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>TM<\/em>, the lower degree,&nbsp;<em>YESHSUT<\/em>, which is attached to these&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>TM<\/em>, rises along with them. At that time, these&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>TM<\/em>, and these&nbsp;<em>YESHSUT<\/em>, which rise to&nbsp;<em>AVI<\/em>, become a left line to&nbsp;<em>AVI<\/em>, and then&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>TM<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>YESHSUT<\/em>&nbsp;that rose to&nbsp;<em>YESHSUT<\/em>&nbsp;have already elevated their own bottom degree,&nbsp;<em>ZON<\/em>, along with them to the place of&nbsp;<em>YESHSUT<\/em>, which is now in&nbsp;<em>AVI<\/em>. Thus, all three degrees that were initially one below the other, are now three lines in the same degree, where&nbsp;<em>AVI<\/em>&nbsp;are the right line,&nbsp;<em>YESHSUT<\/em>&nbsp;is the left line, and&nbsp;<em>ZON<\/em>&nbsp;is the middle line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And precisely so were the Torah, Prophets, and Hagiographa made into three lines. When&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>, the Torah, elevated their&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>TM<\/em>, his lower degree,&nbsp;<em>NH<\/em>, Prophets, rose along with them to the place of&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>&nbsp;and they became his left line. And when those&nbsp;<em>NH<\/em>&nbsp;raised their&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>TM<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, too, rose with them to&nbsp;<em>NH<\/em>, who are now in&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>. Thus, now the three of them are in the place of&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>&nbsp;and became three lines, where&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>&nbsp;is the right line,&nbsp;<em>NH<\/em>&nbsp;is the left line, and&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;is the middle line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, here we should know the rule that there is no&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;without&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>. Hence, even though it is written&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;includes&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>, as well, in a way that&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;became a middle line to&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>NH<\/em>, like the&nbsp;<em>ZON<\/em>&nbsp;that became a middle line to&nbsp;<em>AVI<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>YESHSUT<\/em>. To evoke it,&nbsp;<em>The Zohar<\/em>&nbsp;makes the precision of saying that although the three fires\u2014white, black, and azure\u2014are one below the other, like the Torah, Prophets, and Hagiographa, they are still three lines, like Priest, Levite, and Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The light of the candle is the light of&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, since&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;is called \u201ca candle.\u201d However, as we say that&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>&nbsp;comprises all three lines of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;because three come out of one, and one stands in all three, once&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;became a middle line between Torah and Prophets, right and left,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;contains them, too. The white fire is the right line; the black fire is the left line; and the azure fire is the middle line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the azure, the actual&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, which became the middle line, includes&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>&nbsp;within it, too. The&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>&nbsp;included in it is the right in the azure, and&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;herself is the left. In that respect, even though we say that the azure is the middle line, it is still a left line because it consists of right and left, where the right is&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>&nbsp;and the actual&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, the azure, is the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She clings to those wicks, which are the wings of&nbsp;<em>Mitzva<\/em>, of which it was said, \u201cThey shall make for themselves tassels [<em>Tzitzit<\/em>].\u201d The white in the&nbsp;<em>Tzitzit<\/em>&nbsp;is the right line, and the azure in the&nbsp;<em>Tzitzit<\/em>&nbsp;is the left line. Also, it is known that the left is included in the right so it can shine, only through&nbsp;<em>Masach de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Hirik<\/em>, which clings to it and diminishes it. This is the wick, and the crude thing to which the azure light in the candle clings. And the wings of&nbsp;<em>Mitzva<\/em>, the wings of the&nbsp;<em>Talit<\/em>&nbsp;[praying shawl], is the wick and the crude thing to which the azure in the&nbsp;<em>Tzitzit<\/em>&nbsp;clings, meaning the&nbsp;<em>Masach de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Hirik<\/em>, of which it was said, \u201cThey shall make for themselves a&nbsp;<em>Tzitzit<\/em>.\u201d Through the wing, the white and the azure cling to each other and the light of the&nbsp;<em>Tzitzit<\/em>&nbsp;appears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And besides the azure clinging to the wick\u2014<em>Masach de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Hirik<\/em>\u2014and burning it, it also burns sacrifices and offerings, which are the souls. This is so because in the burning of the holies, he brings two&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>\u2014burning the holies on the altar, and burning what is left of it through the third day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These two kinds of burnings apply to the souls as well, and the cremation of the remainder indicates the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Man\u2019ula<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Miftacha<\/em>, the&nbsp;<em>Masach de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Hirik<\/em>. Also, they rise because of the sins of the lower ones and cling to&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, the azure. At that time, the azure burns them and cancels them, and this is the cremation of the remainder. There is also the burning of the holies on the altar, the burning of the souls, where Angel Michael stands and sacrifices them on the altar above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>137) If the&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, azure, finds people who are dry wood\u2014like dry wick without the oil, which are the Torah and&nbsp;<em>Rachamim<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>\u2014she burns them. And because the uneducated are beasts, who are loathsome, the azure\u2014which is the name&nbsp;<em>ADNI<\/em>\u2014<em>Malchut<\/em>, burns them because they approach her with abomination, the evil inclination, and a foreigner, as it is written, \u201cAnd the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>138) If they repent prior to their death, Angel Michael\u2014who is the high priest, the lion that eats the offerings\u2014slaughters them, comes down on them to offer them as sacrifice before the Creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>139) And before one\u2019s soul leaves, he makes several confessions. And when his soul departs, he intended to complete the name, to complete the unification of&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, who is called \u201ca name,\u201d in the unification, \u201cHear O Israel,\u201d which is the unification of&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, and \u201cBlessed be the glory of His kingship forever and ever,\u201d which is the unification of&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, to offer his soul as sacrifice to the name&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And one needs to confess to the Creator, to accept and to bring the burning and consuming&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>, the&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, to His name,&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>, and to bring the&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;to repent back to&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>EKYEH<\/em>, which together amount to forty-two. In other words, to bring the&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;back to the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>, and the upper unification in&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;will be&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH EKYEH<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is so because&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>EKYEH<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, since before the unification is completed,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;is called&nbsp;<em>ADNI<\/em>, in which there are the letters of&nbsp;<em>Din<\/em>&nbsp;[in Hebrew], to indicate the&nbsp;<em>Din<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, which is&nbsp;<em>Din<\/em>, and that the unification of&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH EKYEH<\/em>&nbsp;is incomplete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>140) With the explicit name,&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;<em>He<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;<em>He<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>&nbsp;filled with&nbsp;<em>Alephs<\/em>, which is&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, one should aim to unite in one heart, in&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. He should aim in that when he lets out his&nbsp;<em>Ruach<\/em>, in his&nbsp;<em>Nefesh<\/em>, he takes upon himself death and torments, and in his&nbsp;<em>Neshama<\/em>, makes several confessions and regrets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>141) In the&nbsp;<em>Nefesh<\/em>, he assumes death, slaughter, and burning. And if the four courthouse deaths are required\u2014stoning, burning, killing, and strangling\u2014he takes them upon his&nbsp;<em>Nefesh<\/em>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<em>ADNI<\/em>. In his&nbsp;<em>Neshama<\/em>, he makes several confessions and repents to the name&nbsp;<em>EKYEH<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, which clings to the two names&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>. This is so because the&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;is called&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>, as in the unification of&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH EKYEH<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>&nbsp;is called&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>. And&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;receives from&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;and imparts upon&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, thus she is gripped between the two of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>142) One should aim in one\u2019s mind to utter a confession and the acceptance of the death upon him in one heart, uniting&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>\u2014heart\u2014with a unification of \u201cThe Lord [<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>] is one.\u201d This is the explicit name,&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;<em>He<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;<em>He<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>&nbsp;filled with&nbsp;<em>Alephs<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, in which the priests kneel, bow, and fall on their faces and say, \u201cBlessed be the glory of His kingship forever and ever.\u201d Glory is thirty-two in&nbsp;<em>Gematria<\/em>, the&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, heart [which is also thirty-two]. And in it, he intends to complete the name, to complete the unification of&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;with&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>143) How does one who is uneducated know all these intentions? Indeed, the uneducated is like an ox, or a lamb, or a goat, or a turtledove, or a pigeon that are sacrificed on the altar. As the beasts do not know the Torah, the name&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>, the uneducated does not know. But Michael, the high priest, makes him an offering and a sacrifice before the Creator, and he intends in the explicit name upon the ascension of his spirit, so his spirit will exit in one heart, and in all those intentions, as one\u2019s spirit rises each night when it rises for&nbsp;<em>MAN<\/em>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>144) For this reason, sages said, \u201cRepent one day prior to your death,\u201d since each day, one must repent and give one\u2019s spirit to Him, so he will depart in one, as it is written, \u201cInto Your hand I commit my spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two kinds of burning:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Burning of the remainder, the&nbsp;<em>Man\u2019ula<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Malchut de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Midat ha Din<\/em>&nbsp;[quality of judgment] that rises and appears in the mitigated&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;due to the sins of the lower ones concerning, \u201cIf he is not rewarded, it is bad.\u201d The azure, the&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;that clings to the&nbsp;<em>Man\u2019ula<\/em>, burns them. This is why it was said above that if the&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, azure, finds people who are dry wood, like dry wicks without oil, which is the Torah and&nbsp;<em>Rachamim<\/em>\u2014meaning an uneducated one who sins all of his days until his root in&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;appears over him, the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Malchut de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Midat ha Din<\/em>, without&nbsp;<em>Rachamim<\/em>, for she is not mitigated in&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>\u2014<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;burns them. She burns that soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And because the uneducated are beasts, who have&nbsp;<em>NRN<\/em>&nbsp;from the side of pure beasts, which are very low, the azure, which is the name&nbsp;<em>ADNI<\/em>, burns them, since the harsh&nbsp;<em>Midat ha Din de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Man\u2019ula<\/em>\u2014called the evil inclination, the angel of death\u2014is attached to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why it was said about him, \u201cAnd the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.\u201d Yet, only the&nbsp;<em>Nefesh<\/em>&nbsp;of the sinner is blemished and burned, but his&nbsp;<em>Ruach<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Neshama<\/em>&nbsp;are not blemished at all, but depart to their root. The reason is that the flaw of the point of&nbsp;<em>Man\u2019ula<\/em>&nbsp;that extends from&nbsp;<em>Tzimtzum Aleph<\/em>&nbsp;[first restriction] blemishes only&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, and none of the first nine. And since the root of&nbsp;<em>Ruach<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Neshama<\/em>&nbsp;is from&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, the flaw does not touch them. Instead, they depart because of the blemished&nbsp;<em>Kli<\/em>&nbsp;and rise to their root, while the&nbsp;<em>Nefesh<\/em>&nbsp;herself is the one that is blemished and burned. This burning is the burning of the remainder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Burning of holies, burning of souls. In other words, that sinner who discovered&nbsp;<em>Midat ha Din de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Man\u2019ula<\/em>&nbsp;in the root of his soul, the angel of death, since death extends from her, if he repents upon dying and takes upon himself death, slaughter, and burning, to give contentment to the Creator, after his death&nbsp;<em>Midat ha Din de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Man\u2019ula<\/em>&nbsp;is mitigated for him into&nbsp;<em>Midat<\/em>&nbsp;<em>ha<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Rachamim<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>. Also, it is known that in this ascent, there is&nbsp;<em>Katnut<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Gadlut<\/em>. First, when&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;rises to&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, the&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>&nbsp;depart from&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;and she remains in&nbsp;<em>VAK<\/em>&nbsp;without&nbsp;<em>Rosh<\/em>. Following her, all the degrees diminish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It follows that by mitigating his&nbsp;<em>Midat ha Din<\/em>&nbsp;with&nbsp;<em>Midat<\/em>&nbsp;<em>ha<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Rachamim<\/em>, when&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;from his root rises to&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;at his root, the&nbsp;<em>Ruach<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Neshama<\/em>&nbsp;have diminished into&nbsp;<em>VAK<\/em>&nbsp;without&nbsp;<em>Rosh<\/em>. Thus far, they were complete, since&nbsp;<em>Midat ha Din de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Man\u2019ula<\/em>&nbsp;does not damage the first nine, from which come&nbsp;<em>Ruach<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Neshama<\/em>. Also, the departure of the&nbsp;<em>Rosh<\/em>&nbsp;from the&nbsp;<em>Ruach<\/em>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<em>Neshama<\/em>&nbsp;is regarded as slaughter because slaughter separates the&nbsp;<em>Rosh<\/em>&nbsp;from the&nbsp;<em>Guf<\/em>. And this person who repents at the time of his death is rewarded with mitigation of&nbsp;<em>Midat ha Din<\/em>&nbsp;with&nbsp;<em>Rachamim<\/em>. But in regard to the&nbsp;<em>Katnut<\/em>, it is considered a slaughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is said that if they repent before their death, when angel Michael slaughters them, who is the great priest, the lion that eats the offerings, since Angel Michael is&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>, which extends from the right line, from the point of&nbsp;<em>Holam<\/em>, where the&nbsp;<em>Din<\/em>&nbsp;that is mitigated in&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;is found, in&nbsp;<em>Midat<\/em>&nbsp;<em>ha<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Rachamim<\/em>, that mitigated&nbsp;<em>Din<\/em>&nbsp;is a lion that eats offerings. For this reason, this angel was selected to mitigate his&nbsp;<em>Midat ha Din<\/em>&nbsp;with&nbsp;<em>Midat<\/em>&nbsp;<em>ha<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Rachamim<\/em>. He diminishes the&nbsp;<em>Neshama<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Ruach<\/em>, who were complete, in terms of&nbsp;<em>Rosh<\/em>, and this is regarded as slaughtering. This is why it was said that Angel Michael slaughters them, meaning removes the&nbsp;<em>Rosh<\/em>&nbsp;from them, their&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>. However, this&nbsp;<em>Katnut<\/em>&nbsp;that is regarded as slaughter later brings&nbsp;<em>Gadlut<\/em>, when&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;exits&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;and returns to her place, and&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>&nbsp;appear in all the degrees once more. By that, the&nbsp;<em>Zivug<\/em>&nbsp;of the Creator and His Divinity is done once more from the root of one\u2019s soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is said that He comes down over them to offer them as sacrifice before the Creator. It is so because this slaughter is considered that Angel Michael offers them as sacrifice before the Creator, that by that, they cause the&nbsp;<em>Zivug<\/em>&nbsp;of the Creator and His Divinity, which is the offering. This is why it is considered that Angel Michael sacrifices the souls on the altar,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, and burns them, as a lion eats offerings, which is the mitigated&nbsp;<em>Din<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;at the point of&nbsp;<em>Holam<\/em>, by which the&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>&nbsp;of the souls are slaughtered and burned on the altar and become&nbsp;<em>MAN<\/em>&nbsp;for&nbsp;<em>ZON<\/em>. They cause&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;to return and receive her&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>&nbsp;at the time of&nbsp;<em>Gadlut<\/em>&nbsp;and unite with&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, the offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, one who repents only at the time of his death can receive only his&nbsp;<em>Katnut<\/em>&nbsp;after his death. And yet, his merit is truly great because if he incarnates again and is rewarded with engaging in Torah and work, he will extend the&nbsp;<em>Gadlut<\/em>, and then he will make the&nbsp;<em>Zivug<\/em>&nbsp;between&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was said above, \u201cAnd when his soul departs.\u201d He intended to complete the Name in the unification, \u201cHear O Israel,\u201d and \u201cBlessed be the glory of His Kingdom forever and ever.\u201d He intended that through sacrificing his soul he would be rewarded with completing the unification of \u201cHear O Israel,\u201d which is&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, \u201cBlessed be the glory of His Kingdom forever and ever,\u201d which is&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, and this will unfold once he incarnates again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, there are two unifications here. Regarding his soul, whose root is in&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, the complete unification is regarded as&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH EKYEH<\/em>, where&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>EKYEH<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>. But now at the time of&nbsp;<em>Katnut<\/em>&nbsp;it is considered that the bottom&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;is lacking for the&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>&nbsp;and there are only&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;in it, which indicates that it is&nbsp;<em>VAK<\/em>&nbsp;without&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>. This is why it was said that one must confess to the Creator to accept and bring the&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;closer to His name,&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>, and bring the&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;back in repentance to&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;<em>EKYEH<\/em>.

And his&nbsp;<em>Nefesh<\/em>&nbsp;clings to&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;herself, burns her, and revokes the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;in her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was said that in&nbsp;<em>Nefesh<\/em>, he takes upon himself death, slaughter, and burning. Death is for the&nbsp;<em>Guf<\/em>&nbsp;[body], and slaughter is for&nbsp;<em>Neshama<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Ruach<\/em>&nbsp;[soul and spirit], when Michael removes the&nbsp;<em>Rosh<\/em>&nbsp;[head] from them and leaves them&nbsp;<em>VAK<\/em>&nbsp;without a&nbsp;<em>Rosh<\/em>, which is considered slaughtering.

Hence, when the sinner takes upon himself the four courthouse deaths prior to his deaths, it is good for him, for&nbsp;<em>Midat ha Din de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Tzimtzum Aleph<\/em>&nbsp;that he discovered in his sins will be removed from him and will be corrected in&nbsp;<em>Midat<\/em>&nbsp;<em>ha<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Rachamim<\/em>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em>Tzimtzum Bet<\/em>, through Angel Michael.

This is why it is written, \u201cAnd the uneducated is not a&nbsp;<em>Hassid<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if there is the first&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;in him,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, the Five Books of Moses that were given from the left, he is called \u201cmighty in the Torah\u201d and \u201cone who fears sin,\u201d for he has been rewarded with the quality of&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>.

At that time, he governs the body, who is the associate of the beastly soul and beastly spirit, since doing the vanities of the world is in the beastly soul and the beastly spirit, when referring to vanities of the world. In the beastly soul are all kinds of thoughts and contemplations about the vanities of the world, but the wise disciple controls the body and the beastly&nbsp;<em>NRN<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>147) It is written, \u201cAnd let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth.\u201d \u201cThe fish of the sea\u201d implies to&nbsp;<em>Neshama<\/em>; \u201cThe birds of the sky\u201d to&nbsp;<em>Ruach<\/em>; and \u201cThe cattle\u201d to the&nbsp;<em>Nefesh<\/em>. \u201cOver all the earth\u201d is the&nbsp;<em>Guf<\/em>&nbsp;[body], a small world.

This is so because Divinity is the sustenance of&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>&nbsp;in the prayers of Israel, meaning she receives them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is written, \u201cOpen for me, my sister, my wife,\u201d meaning open for me with a prayer, as it is written, \u201cO Lord, open my lips,\u201d which is \u201cMy sister, my wife.\u201d And my wife is indeed my sustenance, from the word&nbsp;<em>Raiah<\/em>&nbsp;[wife], as in&nbsp;<em>H\u2019 Ro\u2019I<\/em>&nbsp;[Heb: The Lord is my shepherd], for in her are the holy sons, Israel, correcting the foods of the offerings of the King,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, with several kinds of food, with the bread of Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>150) It is written, \u201cGo eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed.\u201d \u201cOf my bread\u201d is from the right, from the side of&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>. \u201cOf the wine\u201d is the wine of Torah, from the left, the side of&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>.

Only after he has been rewarded with&nbsp;<em>Mochin de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>&nbsp;filled with&nbsp;<em>Alephs<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, the&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>&nbsp;in it rises up to&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>. This is why they said, \u201cIf he is a wise disciple, he must have&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>&nbsp;in him,\u201d to first be rewarded with&nbsp;<em>VAK<\/em>, since from the right line, his level is the level of&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>. Afterwards, he will be rewarded with&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>, as well, and the&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>&nbsp;will rise to being&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>. It follows that he has both&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, which is the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;inside the&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>, and then he is&nbsp;<em>Hassid<\/em>. \u201cThe uneducated is not a&nbsp;<em>Hassid<\/em>,\u201d since the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;inside the&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>&nbsp;is missing for him,&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>. This is why he is considered uneducated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is from the left line, where by obtaining&nbsp;<em>Mochin de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>VAK<\/em>, whose level is&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>, he is called \u201ca&nbsp;<em>Gibor<\/em>&nbsp;[mighty] in the Torah.\u201d Afterwards, if he is rewarded with the&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>&nbsp;of the left line, whose level of&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>&nbsp;transcends to being&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, the first&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>, illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;extends from the left of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, and he is called, \u201cfearing sin.\u201d This is so because illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;is not extended from the left line of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, unless with the disclosure of the harsh&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;over the wicked ones who extended the&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;from above downwards, to cast fear and dread over those who wish to extend the&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;from above downwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It follows that one who is rewarded with illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;of the left is fearing sin, meaning he fears to sin and to extend the&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;from above downwards. This is the root of the prohibition of all 365 negative&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>&nbsp;[commandments to avoid certain actions].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One must know the difference between the&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;on the right line, the&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>, which rose to being&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, and the illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;in the left line, which is&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>&nbsp;that has risen to&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>.&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;of the right line is upper&nbsp;<em>AVI<\/em>, who for themselves are&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>&nbsp;that are covered from&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>. They are called&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;for two reasons: 1) Because they clothe&nbsp;<em>Hochma Stimaa<\/em>&nbsp;[<em>HS<\/em>]&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>AA<\/em>. 2) When the illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;appears in&nbsp;<em>YESHSUT<\/em>, they receive this illumination from&nbsp;<em>AVI<\/em>, which clothe&nbsp;<em>HS<\/em>. Thus,&nbsp;<em>AVI<\/em>, who are essentially&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>YESHSUT<\/em>, receive only illumination. However, then, too, although&nbsp;<em>AVI<\/em>&nbsp;give illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<em>YESHSUT<\/em>, it is only in transference from&nbsp;<em>HS<\/em>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<em>YESHSUT<\/em>. But the&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;does not clothe in&nbsp;<em>AVI<\/em>&nbsp;themselves; they are always in covered&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>, and the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;never departs the&nbsp;<em>Avir<\/em>&nbsp;[air] of&nbsp;<em>AVI<\/em>. Instead,&nbsp;<em>YESHSUT<\/em>&nbsp;are the source for disclosure of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;because the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;in them comes out of the&nbsp;<em>Avir<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>, and they become light of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, they receive this&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;that appears in&nbsp;<em>YESHSUT<\/em>&nbsp;from upper&nbsp;<em>AVI<\/em>. And every place where&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;is mentioned in the right line is considered upper&nbsp;<em>AVI<\/em>. Also, the&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;in the left line is considered&nbsp;<em>YESHSUT<\/em>, which are regarded as&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, but one who returned to being&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, and not actual&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if he is ignorant and there is no Torah in him, it is said about him, \u201cThe ignorant have no fear of sin.\u201d This is so because as long as he was not rewarded with&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>&nbsp;of the left line, which is illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;in the left line that appears along with harsh&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;over the sinful wicked ones, he has no fear of sinning. Fear of sin comes only by looking at&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>, which appear over the sinner at the time of disclosure of illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When one is rewarded with obtaining the&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>&nbsp;and he has&nbsp;<em>NRN<\/em>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>&nbsp;filled with&nbsp;<em>Alephs<\/em>, these&nbsp;<em>NRN<\/em>&nbsp;clothe in the beastly&nbsp;<em>NRN<\/em>&nbsp;of a person and in his beastly body.

There is good in them that extends from the unification of the middle line in the spiritual&nbsp;<em>NRN<\/em>, and there is evil in them\u2014the&nbsp;<em>Sitra Achra<\/em>&nbsp;and all the&nbsp;<em>Klipot<\/em>, who have no wish for the correction of the middle line and cling only to the left line. Their only desire is to draw illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;on the left from above downwards and to spoil the unification of the middle line. And because the evil in&nbsp;<em>Klipat Noga<\/em>&nbsp;is mixed into the beastly&nbsp;<em>Guf<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>NRN<\/em>&nbsp;of a person, during the six thousand years, they cannot be corrected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, one must die because they are corrected only by extending&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;from above downwards, which will be at the end of correction. Then, it will be said, \u201cDeath has been swallowed up forever.\u201d And until then, it is considered that they have no nourishments, and this is their proper existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And while a person obtains the spiritual&nbsp;<em>NRN<\/em>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>&nbsp;filled with&nbsp;<em>Alephs<\/em>, the evil in Noga\u2014which is mixed with man\u2019s beastly&nbsp;<em>Guf<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>NRN<\/em>\u2014surrenders to the good in Noga in them. At that time, they clothe the spiritual&nbsp;<em>NRN<\/em>&nbsp;in a person within the beastly&nbsp;<em>NRN<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Guf<\/em>&nbsp;of a person, which then surrender to the good in them, and they are all good, although they do not receive their proper nourishments because they yield and are annulled before the good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is written, \u201cAnd let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth,\u201d which are man\u2019s beastly&nbsp;<em>NRN<\/em>. \u201cAnd over all the earth\u201d is the&nbsp;<em>Guf<\/em>, a small world, since they surrender to the good in Noga, and to the spiritual&nbsp;<em>NRN<\/em>&nbsp;that are clothed in them. And since he is righteous, attached to the middle line, and extends the illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;on the left only from below upwards, the Creator does not give him a reward for&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>, and he has neither reward in this world nor food for his beastly&nbsp;<em>Guf<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>NRN<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the beastly&nbsp;<em>Guf<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>NRN<\/em>&nbsp;are nourished only from above downwards, like the evil in Noga that is mingled in them, and because he is righteous, he certainly extends them nothing. And once the righteous has taken upon himself not to nurse the beastly&nbsp;<em>Guf<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>NRN<\/em>, and they are regarded as \u201ca poor man is regarded as dead,\u201d then he is rewarded with the permanent instilling of Divinity, where Divinity burns the evil in the Noga in them until they are fit for the end of correction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The wicked one is not corrected before he experiences three incarnations, as it is written, \u201cGod does all these twice, thrice with a man.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First incarnation, in an uneducated one who was nonetheless rewarded with repentance prior to his death, at which time he is rewarded with mitigation of the&nbsp;<em>Kelim<\/em>&nbsp;to be worthy of receiving the lights of&nbsp;<em>NRN<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second incarnation, after he already has the proper&nbsp;<em>Kelim<\/em>&nbsp;for&nbsp;<em>NRN<\/em>, he reincarnates and repents during life, and he is rewarded with receiving the lights of&nbsp;<em>VAK<\/em>, which are&nbsp;<em>NR<\/em>, whose level is&nbsp;<em>HG<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Third incarnation, when he reincarnates and makes complete repentance, and is rewarded with the ascension of&nbsp;<em>HG<\/em>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<em>HB<\/em>, and then he is rewarded with&nbsp;<em>Neshama<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those last two incarnations can come at once, together, and sometimes one at a time.
