601. The night is three watches, and over each and every watch, the Creator sits and roars like a lion. And in each watch, there are angels appointed at night during these three watches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
602. In the first watch, the angels sing at the beginning of the night, \u201cTo David, a psalm, to the Lord, the earth and all that fills it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
603. Because all the souls of people come out at night and want to rise up, when they rise to the place where the appointees over the first watch stand, there are 365 halls there, as the number of the days of the year, and twelve appointees over them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
604. If the souls merit, high doors open to them. If not, they are repelled outside, they walk and roam throughout the world, and meet the evil spirits that notify them matters that some of them are false, and some of them are true. If afterwards, they merit rising, a door opens for them and they rise to the place of the other souls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
605. In the second watch, there are other appointees, who are called \u201cmourners of Zion,\u201d who mourn the ruin of the Temple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
606. At the time of the calling of the rooster, at midnight, when that flame awakens from the north side, because of the awakening of that flame, when it comes down to this world, up to the wings of the rooster in this world, he calls out loud and says, \u201cAwake to cry over the Temple, all those who have peace, as it is written, \u201cangels of peace cry bitterly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
607. One who sees cries, meaning those who are worthy of receiving Hochma, which is called seeing. One who does not see cries, meaning those who are unworthy of seeing, Hochma, they all assemble to weep over the Temple. Who saw the confusion in all the hosts of heaven, and all the holy Merkavot sob and cry?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
608. The Creator sobs and cries, and kicks 390 firmaments. At that time, \u201cAnd it came to pass at midnight that the man was startled and turned over.\u201d The man is the Creator, who roars and shouts over the ruin of the Temple, as it is written, \u201cThe Lord will roar from on high; He will raise His voice from His holy habitation. He will roar loudly over His pasture,\u201d the Shechina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
609. At that time, He kicks all the firmaments and all the armies and Merkavot cry and mourn at that time and say, \u201cGod, the nations have come into Your inheritance; Your holy Temple they have defiled; they have laid Jerusalem in heaps. The dead bodies of Your servants they have given as food for the birds of the heavens,\u201d and also, \u201cBy the rivers of Babylon, there we sat and also wept.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
610. \u201cAnd turned over,\u201d since \u201cand behold, a woman lying at his feet,\u201d lying in the dust that is crushed between the feet. This is the assembly of Israel, Malchut. Then, at that time, she awakens toward him, and he asks her, \u201cWho are you, my daughter in exile, and who are you at this time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
611. \u201cAnd she said, \u2018I am Ruth, your servant.\u201d Ruth, meaning she said, \u201cI have had enough of sorrow, I have had enough of pains over my children, that they are in exile, and over the holy palaces from which I was expelled. And not only was I expelled, but I am cursed and sworn at each day for them, and I have no mouth in the exile to reply to them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
612. \u201cAnd he said, \u2018Blessed are you.\u2019\u201d The Creator said to her, \u201cMy daughter, I remember when David My Messiah was driven out from Jerusalem, and he went until Bahurim, and Shimei Ben Gerah Ben Hayemini went out to My Messiah and cursed and swore at him, and he kept silent. There has not been a curse like that curse, and he cursed him vehemently, and David was not excited to reply to him, and kept quiet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
613. And now, in the exile, the Creator said to her, \u201cYou also acted in Hesed and truth with Me, and your last Hesed is better than that first Hesed that was with Shimei Ben Gerah from Bahurim, for you were not afraid to walk after the curses and swears of the other nations, who are similar to the one from Bahurim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd the verse, \u2018not to walk after the Bahurim [also young men], whether poor or rich,\u2019 means without getting excited over the curses of the nations that are similar to the one from Bahurim. \u2018Whether poor\u2019 is Vespasian, who was not a king\u2019s son. \u2018Or rich\u2019 is Nebuchadnezzar, who was a king, son of a king, who was called \u2018the head of gold.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
614. \u201cAnd Solomon\u2019s wisdom toward Shimei, as it is written, \u2018Come out! Come out! You bloodthirsty man, you rogue.\u2019 \u201cCome out, come out,\u2019 come out from Jerusalem, come out from your home. Solomon said to him, \u2018I am not like that, and I will not drive you out from Jerusalem like you said to my father. Rather, build a home for yourself in Jerusalem and dwell there, and do not go out from there to here and to there. For on the day you go out and cross the brook Kidron, know for certain that you will surely die.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
615. The Creator said to her about this, \u201cYour last Hesed is better than the first, for you existed for Me in existence, and did not fear curses and swears of the other nations. But sleep tonight, be in exile now, and lead your children there with Torah and good deeds. And if the good deeds testify about you to your redeemer, he will redeem. And if not, I will redeem you. As the Lord lives, lie until morning, until the morning comes, and the light of redemption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
616. When half the night is over, Malchut awakens for ZA. At that time, the Creator enters the Garden of Eden, Malchut, with the righteous, to entertain Himself with Torah in the Garden of Eden until daylight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
