Rabbi Azaria and Rabbi Hizkiya descended from the donkeys. They said to him, \u201cDid you hear what is written?\u201d He said, \u201cI heard; when the Creator wanted to give the Torah to Israel, the tablets were written face and back, as it is written, \u201cOn the one side and on the other they were written.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>392. One tablet was written face and back, and the other tablet left and right, as it is written, \u201cAnd the tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.\u201d Two. Why is it written twice: \u201cand the writing was the writing\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>393. Before Israel made the calf, and the Creator wanted to give these two Torot [pl. of Torah], the written Torah, Vav, and the oral Torah, Hey, through Moses to Israel, it is written, \u201cAnd the tablets were the work of God,\u201d and the tablets were similar to Vav-Hey tablets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tablets are actually Yod-Hey, and the text implies the \u201cAnd the tablets,\u201d similar to the Vav-Hey in the Yod-Hey, which are HG in the Yod-Hey, which are similar to ZA and Malchut, Vav-Hey. And the words, \u201cAnd the writing\u201d is the actual Vav-Hey, ZA and Malchut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>394. The tablets are Yod-Hey. They are the work of God, upper Bina. Vav-Hey are the tablets, two arms, HG in Yod-Hey. Vav-Hey are the writing; they are Jacob and Rachel. ZA is Jacob, and Rachel is Malchut, the sun and the moon, two breasts, and they are called \u201cone.\u201d This is why it is written, \u201cand the writing was the writing of God.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He called them Vav-Hey, and he calls them writing, writing, which are two. But they are one. This is why it is written \u201cGod,\u201d who is one. \u201c\u2018Engraved on the tablets,\u2019 do not pronounce it Harut [engraved] but Herut [freedom], freedom from the angel of death and from enslavement of Malchuts, and from all the evil illnesses in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One tablet was written face and back, Vav-Hey, writing, indicating ZA and Malchut, face and back. And the other tablet left and right, Vav-Hey, tablets, indicating right and left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>395. When they made the calf, the letters fled from two phases, from the face, and from the right, and the letters of the back and of the left remained. And I will open for you the straight path, so you will understand. Elimelech and Naomi, who are Yod-Hey, and Machlon and Ruth, who are Vav-Hey, are like the two tablets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elimelech and Naomi are one tablet, right and left, since Yod is south and right, and the first Hey is north and left. Machlon and Ruth, ZA and Malchut, east and west, face and back, are the other tablet. When they made the calf, Elimelech, right, and Machlon, face, departed, and two females, Ruth, back, and Naomi, left, remained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>396. \u201cAnd they two walked,\u201d Ruth and Naomi, back and left, until they heard as it is written, \u201cFor the Lord has visited His people to give them bread, the bread of Torah, since another time, He gave the Torah, the second tablets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>397. \u201cAnd they two walked until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass that when they came to Bethlehem, the whole city was excited because of them.\u201d \u201cThe whole\u201d is righteous, Yesod, ZA. The city is Zion, the City of David, Yesod of Malchut. \u201cAnd they [women] said, \u2018Is this Naomi,\u2019\u201d for when the Torah was given on Mount Sinai, it is written, \u201cAnd the whole people were seeing the sounds and the torches,\u201d which was not so in the second tablets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>398. At that time, the Torah cried out and said, \u201cDo not call me Naomi. I went full,\u201d in the first tablets, with every joy and abundance, and with all the freedom in the world, and even from enslavement of Malchuts. \u201cAnd then she said, \u2018Why do you call me Naomi [from the word Noam (pleasantness)]?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>399. This is the meaning of the Creator saying through Moses, \u201cYou shall see My back, but My face shall not be seen,\u201d since the face, ZA, departed and only the posterior, Malchut, remained. That is, when I wanted to give the Torah to Israel right and left, face and back, they did not want and they made the calf. And here, when they do want, I will want them only to be working with My back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>391. Rabbi Azaria and Rabbi Hizkiya descended from the donkeys.
