678) The one year old lambs are named after the sun, the holy mother, Bina<\/em>, of whom it was said, \u201cThe face of Moses as the face of the sun,\u201d that he has GAR<\/em>, Panim<\/em> [face], from Bina<\/em>, who is called \u201csun.\u201d There are 365 days in a year, meaning with ten days from Rosh Hashanah<\/em> [Hebrew New Year\u2019s Eve] to Yom Kippur<\/em> [Day of Atonement] they are 365, as the number of negative commandments [commandments to avoid certain acts]. He is a witness to the left, and he is upper Ima<\/em>, the moon, Malchut<\/em>, on the right, since the daughter is connected to Abba<\/em>, who is Hesed<\/em> to the right. Also, Malchut<\/em> consists of 248 positive commandments [commandments to perform certain acts].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vav<\/em>, ZA<\/em>, is with Ima<\/em> to the left, the 365 negative commandments. The daughter is with Abba<\/em> to the right, Hesed<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cHe has founded the earth in wisdom.\u201d \u201cIn wisdom\u201d [Hochma<\/em>] is Abba<\/em>, Hochma<\/em> of the right, which is Hesed<\/em>. Earth is the daughter, Malchut<\/em>. Thus, the daughter is connected to the father, and the son, ZA<\/em>, to the mother, Tevuna<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cEstablishing heaven in intelligence [Tevuna<\/em>].\u201d This is the combination of the name, Yod<\/em>–Hey<\/em>–Hey<\/em>–Vav<\/em>, which is HaVaYot<\/em> [pl. of HaVaYaH<\/em>] in the middle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially, it was said that seven lambs are seven Sefirot<\/em> of the moon, and here it is said that they correspond to seven Sefirot<\/em> of Hochma<\/em>, ZA<\/em>. The one year old sheep are named after the sun, the \u201choly mother,\u201d after ZA<\/em>, who is called \u201cthe light of the sun,\u201d who receives from the holy mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With respect to the light of the left, which ZA<\/em> receives from the holy mother, he is called \u201csun.\u201d It was said about her, \u201cthe face of Moses,\u201d ZA<\/em>, \u201cas the face of the sun,\u201d for then, when he receives from Ima<\/em>, his face is regarded as the light of the sun in its might. A year is the year of the sun, 365 days, as the count of the 365 negative commandments, the Mochin<\/em> of the left. The Mochin<\/em> are called Eden and are called Ed<\/em> [witness]. The Mochin<\/em> of the 365 days of the sun are a witness to the left, illumination of Hochma<\/em> on the left, and he is upper Ima<\/em>, which extend from upper Ima<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seven one year old sheep that he offers correspond to the seven Sefirot de<\/em> ZA<\/em>, extending to him illumination of Hochma<\/em> on the left of Ima<\/em>. They are one year old from the 365 days of the sun, Mochin<\/em> of the left of Ima<\/em>. But the moon, Malchut<\/em>, is connected to Mochin de<\/em> Abba<\/em>, Hochma<\/em> of the right, the light of Hassadim<\/em>, since the Hochma<\/em> itself in her is concealed once more and illuminates only in the light of Hesed<\/em>, and Malchut<\/em> comprises 248 positive commandments, which are Hesed<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It follows that through the offering of a new month, each receives what he needs, since ZA<\/em> is initially Hassadim<\/em> without Hochma<\/em>, and therefore receives now through the offering, Hochma<\/em> of the left from Ima<\/em>. At its origin, Malchut<\/em> is Hochma<\/em> of the left, and lacks only Hassadim<\/em>, and she receives Hassadim<\/em> from upper Abba<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, Vav<\/em>, ZA<\/em>, is with Ima<\/em> to the left, receiving from Ima<\/em> the Hochma<\/em> of the left, which he lacks. The daughter is with Abba<\/em>, Hochma<\/em> of the right, Hesed<\/em>, which she lacks. This is the combination of the name, Yod<\/em>–Hey<\/em>–Hey<\/em>–Vav<\/em>, where the bottom Hey<\/em>, Malchut<\/em>, is after Yod<\/em>, Abba<\/em>, and the upper Hey<\/em>, Ima<\/em> is before Vav<\/em>, ZA<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The four portions of the Tefillin<\/em> are HaVaYaH<\/em> in its order. Yod<\/em> is Kadesh<\/em> [sanctify], the first Hey<\/em> is \u201cAnd it shall come to pass when [the Lord] brings you,\u201d Vav<\/em> is Shema<\/em> [Hear], and the bottom Hey<\/em> is \u201cAnd it shall come to pass, if you listen.\u201d However, with respect to the order of \u201cFather established the daughter,\u201d there are two portions in the middle that begin with HaVaYot<\/em>, in the world, \u201cAnd it shall come to pass.\u201d These are \u201cAnd it shall come to pass when [the Lord] brings you,\u201d and \u201cAnd it shall come to pass, if you listen,\u201d since they are two letters Hey<\/em>. \u201cSanctify,\u201d Yod<\/em>, is in the beginning, and \u201cHear,\u201d Vav<\/em>, is in the end, at the end of the Yod<\/em>–Hey<\/em>–Hey<\/em>–Vav<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

679) And one he-goat, since it is written about two he-goats, \u201cAnd he shall take the two goats, and set them before the Lord at the door of the tent of meeting. And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats: one lot for the Lord, and the other lot for Azazel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goat to the Lord is atonement for the diminution of the moon. It is one goat for the Lord, for a sin offering. This is why it is written about it, \u201cone,\u201d since it is from the side of unification. But it is not written, \u201cone,\u201d about the goat to Azazel, nor a sacrifice, nor an offering by fire, nor a burnt offering. Rather, it is written, \u201cand shall send him away by the hand of an appointed man into the desert.\u201d The goat to Azazel is a bribe, to break SAM\u2019s<\/em> anger so he will not approach the Temple to slander him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

680) It is similar to a hungry dog. One who wants it to not bite him gives him meat or bread to eat and gives it water, as it is written, \u201cIf your enemy is hungry feed him bread.\u201d By that, he becomes a lover of that person, and not only does he not bite him with several afflictions, but has turned into being his advocate and has become his lover.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
