It teaches that man\u2019s soul comes out each night, and the Creator mortgages her and returns her to the person\u2019s bosom the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>656. For this reason, one must deposit one\u2019s soul to his maker and read one verse of mercy, such as \u201cIn Your hand I deposit my spirit, redeem me, Lord, God of truth.\u201d Since she is mortgaged, although she has several debts, the Creator returns her to the person\u2019s bosom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>657. One should behave in a similar manner with the qualities of the Creator and walk in His ways, as it is written, \u201cand to walk in His ways,\u201d since his soul is a collateral in His hands, which is under the throne, and he was made of a foul drop. Thus, the deposit of his soul is in His hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>658. \u201cIf you take your neighbor\u2019s cloak,\u201d meaning if you sabotage your actions and soil your soul, which is the light of the garment of the Creator, who is your friend and your father\u2019s friend, \u201cuntil sunset,\u201d when it is your time to be rid of the world, \u201creturn it to him,\u201d as it is written, \u201cand the spirit shall return to the God who gave it.\u201d Give her to Him, as He has given her to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>659. \u201cIf you take,\u201d if a person sabotages his actions, afterwards, when his time comes, due to his many debts to his owner, He sabotages His own and takes his soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>600. This is why it is written, \u201cDo not take a widow\u2019s cloak as security,\u201d since his collateral is in the hands of the Creator, there is no need to deposit it another time, as it is written, \u201cAffliction shall not rise twice.\u201d All the souls are the Creator\u2019s. If they merit, they come among the righteous in the Garden of Eden. If they do not merit, they enter Hell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>655. \u201cAnd the women of the neighborhood gave him a name, saying, \u2018A son has been born to
