648) From the right side, Malchut<\/em> is called \u201cstone.\u201d Several wet stones, stones that emit water, come from her. From them flow water of the Torah. Rabbi Akiva said about them to his students, \u201cWhen you reach stones of pure marble, do not say \u2018water, water,\u2019 lest you will risk your souls.\u201d It means that you should not say that this water of Malchut<\/em> is actual water, only Hassadim<\/em>, because it is written, \u201cHe who speaks lies will not be established before Me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This water in Malchut<\/em> is Torah, extended from ZA<\/em>, who is called Torah. He comprises Hochma<\/em> and Hassadim<\/em> together, hence they are light and not water that indicate Hassadim<\/em> without Hochma<\/em>, for it is written about her, \u201cand Torah is light.\u201d And because that light springs in a fountain of water whose water will not fail\u2014since ZA<\/em> receives that light from upper AVI<\/em>, whose Zivug<\/em> never stops, and there in AVI<\/em> it is Hassadim<\/em>\u2014it is called \u201cwater,\u201d Hassadim<\/em>. However, when the Hassadim<\/em> come in ZA<\/em>, they are included with Hochma<\/em>, as well, and they are called \u201clight,\u201d as it is written, \u201cAnd Torah is light.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

649) From the left, that stone, Yod<\/em>, Malchut<\/em>, is called \u201cember,\u201d due to the judgments of the left that burn in her. And from there they are called ten Sefirot<\/em>, as a flame that is tied to an ember. She has four colors, and they are ten, Yod<\/em>–Vav<\/em>–Dalet<\/em>, Hey<\/em>–Aleph<\/em> Vav<\/em>–Aleph<\/em>–Vav<\/em> Hey<\/em>–Aleph<\/em>, HaVaYaH<\/em>, the four letters of simple HaVaYaH<\/em>, and ten letters of filled HaVaYaH<\/em>, which are fourteen letters together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a great hand with respect to the right, Hesed<\/em>, a strong hand with respect to the left, Gevura<\/em>, and a high hand with respect to the middle pillar. It follows that she consists of forty-two colors, since three times hand [Yod<\/em>–Dalet<\/em> (14)] are Mem<\/em>–Bet<\/em> [42].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

650) And because with respect to the right she is a stone, and with respect to the left she is an ember, the Creator avenges the Ishmaelites and Edomites with her. They extend from the waste of right and left, and are foreign fires of the Sitra Achra<\/em> and malicious water, since Ishmael is malicious water, and Edom is foreign fires. Their appointees are SAM<\/em> and the serpent. SAM<\/em> is the fire of Hell. He is appointed over the nation, Esau. The serpent is appointed over the nation, Ishmael, and he is the angel Rahav, appointed over the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

651) On the right of Abraham, whose degree is Hesed<\/em>, he takes vengeance from Ishmael and from his appointee. On the left of Isaac, whose degree is Gevura<\/em>, he takes vengeance from Esau and from his appointee, through two Messiahs, Messiah son of David on the right, and Messiah son of Joseph on the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the degree of Jacob, Tifferet<\/em>, middle line, which is opposite them, as it is written, \u201cfolded his hands,\u201d the lion is on the left, opposite Esau, and the ox is to the right, opposite Ishmael. Because Judah was exiled in Esau, the right of sanctity is with the left of Esau. It is likewise in the exile in Ishmael: the left of sanctity is with the impure right of Ishmael. Accordingly, the Messiah son of David is right, will take vengeance from Esau, and the Messiah son of Joseph, left, will take vengeance from Ishmael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is written, \u201cUntil Shiloh comes.\u201d It is Moses, since Shiloh in Gematria<\/em> is Moses [in Hebrew] (345), whose degree is the glory of Israel, the middle line. He will take vengeance from the mixed multitude, since the mixed multitude include the right and left of impurity, and therefore the middle line, which consists of the right and left of holiness, will avenge them. Before the middle line subdued, the fire was on the right, and the water on the left. After the middle line subdued, the fire came to the left, and the water to the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

652) By three degrees\u2014right, left, and middle\u2014will He visit priests, Levites, and Israelites from the exile. They extend from these three lines, and in three lines He takes vengeance from Esau, from Ishmael, and from the mixed multitude. It is so because as the mixed multitude are mingled with Esau and Ishmael, and contain from the right and from the left of impurity, Jacob, the middle line, is mingled with Abraham and Isaac, who are right and left, for he is a mixture of the two of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Likewise, Shiloh, Moses, the middle line, mingles with the Messiah son of David, right, and the Messiah son of Joseph, left. He will be a chain that includes and ties them both, as when Balaam saw in his prophecy, \u201cUntil Shiloh comes.\u201d Thus the two Messiahs connect with Moses, the three patriarchs, three lines, in the last exile. For this reason they will be able to defeat and destroy all the Klipot<\/em>, corresponding to the three lines of holiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although redemption will be done by both Messiahs\u2014Messiah son of David and Messiah son of Joseph\u2014it will still be impossible to complete the redemption until the soul of Moses appears, as it is the disclosure of all the secrets of Torah. At that time the two Messiahs will be able to defeat all the Klipot<\/em> in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moses includes both Messiahs, since the disclosure of the soul of Moses contains everything, as it is written, \u201cUntil Shiloh comes,\u201d for there cannot be complete redemption before Moses appears over the two Messiahs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

653) It is written, \u201cNone has beheld iniquity in Jacob, nor seen toil in Israel; the Lord his God is with him, and the cheering for the King is in him.\u201d All this is to keep the verse, \u201cWith great compassion I will gather you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At that time the Klipot<\/em> surrounding the Shechina<\/em> will shatter, and one of three stones, which are Segolta<\/em> [\"Segolta\"] will appear, the Malchut<\/em>, the upper point of the Segolta<\/em>. It is written about those three points: \u201cAnd it came to pass in thirty years.\u201d They are three letters Yod<\/em>, where each point is Yod<\/em>, and three letters Yod<\/em> in Gematria<\/em> is thirty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it is written, \u201cOn the fourth and on the fifth of the month.\u201d \u201cOn the fourth\u201d is the fourth stone, Netzah<\/em>. \u201cOn the fifth\u201d is the fifth stone, Hod<\/em>. Opposite them it is written, \u201cAnd David took five pebbles from the stream, HGT<\/em> NH<\/em>, which are taken from the Yesod<\/em>, which includes them together and is called \u201cstream.\u201d Opposite them are five words [in Hebrew]: \u201cHear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Malchut<\/em> ascends to Bina<\/em> and receives there from the left line of Bina<\/em>, she is above HG<\/em> de<\/em> ZA<\/em>. At that time she is the upper point of the Segolta<\/em>, like this: [\"Segolta\"], where Malchut<\/em> is the top point, and the two points HG<\/em> de<\/em> ZA<\/em> are below her. When Malchut<\/em> receives from the three lines of ZA<\/em>, she is fourth to HGT<\/em> de<\/em> ZA<\/em>, regarded as Netzah<\/em>. And when Malchut<\/em> is below ZA<\/em>, she is fifth, Hod<\/em>, where it is the Sium<\/em> [end], as Ima<\/em> spreads down to Hod<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

654) \u201cAnd I was in the midst of the exile by the river Chebar.\u201d This is the Shechina<\/em>, who is called \u201cI.\u201d In her, the Creator is one, since ZA<\/em> is Aleph<\/em>–Het<\/em> in Ehad<\/em>, and the Shechina<\/em> is Dalet<\/em> in Ehad<\/em>. The additional Vav<\/em> to the \u201cI,\u201d for it is written, \u201cAnd I.\u201d She is the river, the righteous one who lives forever, Yesod<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cAnd a river went out of Eden to water the garden.\u201d Eden is Bina<\/em>, the river that emerges from Bina<\/em>, from Eden, is Vav<\/em>, Ben<\/em> [son of] Yod<\/em>–Hey<\/em>, ZA<\/em>, the degree of Moses, who comes out from upper Ima<\/em> and spreads in the six Sefirot HGT<\/em> NHY<\/em>, through the righteous Yesod<\/em>. And from Yesod<\/em> it waters the garden, the Shechina<\/em>. For this reason, the Vav<\/em> of \u201cI\u201d implies the Yesod<\/em> that waters her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

655) In the river Chebar, Chaf<\/em> implies Keter<\/em>, Bet<\/em> implies Bina<\/em>, and Reish<\/em> implies the beginning of Hochma<\/em>. Keter<\/em> is on the right, Hochma<\/em> on the left, Bina<\/em> in the middle, and they are a vehicle upward, to the Cause of causes, Ein Sof<\/em>. Chebar [Chaf<\/em>–Bet<\/em>–Reish<\/em>] has the letters of Rechev<\/em> [vehicle]. All ten Sefirot<\/em> were included in the river, ZA<\/em>, which spreads through the righteous, Yesod<\/em>, who is called \u201call,\u201d since he includes within it all the Sefirot<\/em>. Everything hangs down from Him. When Ezekiel saw the Shechina<\/em> from out of the Klipot<\/em>, he saw ten Sefirot<\/em> with them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
