32. It is written, \u201cA voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping.\u201d When the Temple was ruined and burned, a voice came and awakened over the graves of the first patriarchs, and said, \u201cFirst Fathers, you are fallen asleep and do not know the sorrow of the world. Your children, whom you had raised in agony, and whom you brought into the great faith of the Creator, have died; they have been killed and have gone into exile by the hands of their enemies. Their hands are tied behind them; they are dying of hunger; their homes have been burned down. Where is your mercy? Where is your faith? Arise, wake up to them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
33. The fathers and the mothers immediately awakened and went to Moses. They said to him, \u201cMoses, where are the children? Why have you left them?\u201d Moses immediately awakened and went with them to Joshua. He said to him, \u201cThe children of these fathers, the children of Israel, on whom the Creator commanded me, and whom I have placed in your hands, where are they?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
34. Joshua replied and said, \u201cMoses, I left them in the holy land and divided them in the land according to the lot, as you had commanded me. I left them all, each in his inheritance and in his lot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
35. Promptly, they all went to the holy land and found it has been ruined; not a sound was heard in it. They went to the Temple and saw that it was burned. They made a eulogy in it until the sound of the bitter cries reached the top of heaven, and all the high angels wept with them above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
36. The Creator awakened and came to them, and found them crying bitterly in the dust of the Temple. He said to them, \u201cMy soul\u2019s beloved, why are you here? Why are My friends in My house?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
37. Old Abraham arose first and said to the Master of the world: \u201cYou know that I went before You on the path of truth. Ten times You tried me, and I succeeded in all of them; where are my children? I did not hear the voice of their words in the land that You have sworn to me to sustain them in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
38. The Creator said to him, \u201cOh Abraham, My soul\u2019s beloved; they have revoked the holy covenant from over them and committed idol-worship, as it is written, \u2018And the holy flesh has passed from you.\u2019 My anger was kindled on them because of it, and because of you, I was patient with them several times, but they did not repent before Me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
39. When Abraham heard this, he said, \u201cLet all their iniquities be annihilated among the nations because of the sanctity of Your name until You have the desire to bring them back to You.\u201d Everyone answered the Creator in the way that Abraham answered, and they went away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
40. Rachel stayed there. She raised her voice in weeping with bitter cries. The Creator said to her, \u201cRachel, why are you crying?\u201d She said to him, \u201cHow will I not cry? Where are my children? What have they sinned before You?\u201d The Creator said to her, \u201cThey raised my enemy before Me, making statue and admitting it into My house.\u201d Promptly, she said, \u201cDid I not do more, admitting my enemy into my house?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
41. \u201cAnd Jacob told Rachel that he was her father\u2019s brother.\u201d He said to her, \u201cWill you copulate with me?\u201d She said to him, \u201cYes, but I have an older sister, and I am afraid of my father, who is a liar.\u201d Promptly, \u201cAnd Jacob told Rachel that he was her father\u2019s brother,\u201d deceitfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
42. Immediately, He gave her signs that she should tell him during the copulation so he does not swap her for Leah her sister. When Leah came in that night, Rachel said, \u201cNow my sister will be disgraced, for Jacob will recognize her since she will not know the signs. She went and gave her the signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
43. This is why she said to the Creator, \u201cDid I not do more, admitting my own enemy into my home by myself? And You, of whom it is written, \u2018merciful and gracious and patient,\u2019 should have been lenient with their iniquities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
44. In all that the Creator said to her, she was not comforted, as it is written, \u201cA voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping, Rachel mourning her children.\u201d She refused to be comforted over her children, for He is not. She did not want to receive comfort because He is not, meaning that the Creator is not as in the first days of being among them, since He departed above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
45. And because He is not among the children, she did not accept consolation until the Creator swore to her, as it is written, \u201cThus said the Lord, \u2018Restrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
46. As Rachel did, so did the upper Shechina, as it is translated, \u201cA voice is heard in the High Heavens, the Shechina is weeping for her children.\u201d At the same time when the Shechina was weeping, sixty myriad [10,000] camps of high angels awakened to her, and they all awakened in crying to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
47. At that time, the voice was heard in the firmament Aravot, and 200,000 worlds were rattled, which had been concealed since the day when the world was created. Until that voice was heard at the height of heaven, which is the firmament like the terrible ice that is on the animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
48. Finally, the mother, Bina, was revealed to the daughter, Malchut, and said to her, \u201cKeep your voice.\u201d Then, she parted from there and went, she and all her battalions, into exile. And they had to spread to several sides so the exile would be in all the place, and the Shechina sat alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
49. Who said, \u201cHow\u201d? It is a high and pleasant spirit, the next world, Bina, lamenting Malchut and saying about her, \u201cHow.\u201d Hence, that word, \u201chow,\u201d is spiritual, since it is not yet embodiment, for the embodiment of the letters begins from ZA and not from Bina, and there is nothing shared in her from all the other outlets of the mouth, not from the tongue, or the teeth, or the lips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The five outlets of the mouth correspond to HBD TM: The letters Gimel-Yod-Kaf-Kof are from the palate; Aleph-Het-Hey-Ayin are from the throat; Dalet-Tet-Lamed-Nun-Tav are from the tongue; Zayin-Samech-Shin-Reish-Tzadi are from the teeth; and Bet-Vav-Mem-Peh are from the lips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since Bina said \u201chow\u201d regarding Malchut, she did not participate with Tifferet and Malchut in saying \u201chow.\u201d For this reason, there are only two outlets in her, from the palate and from the throat, which are HB, and she lacks the three bottom outlets from the tongue, from the teeth, and from the lips, corresponding to Daat and TM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
50. The mother asked about the daughter. This is the crowing of the wall, where \u201cwall\u201d means a great and ruling lord, master. It is written, \u201cHow lonely sits,\u201d and not \u201cstands,\u201d since in the beginning, Malchut stood, and all her battalions stood. Now she sits in desolation. \u201cAlone\u201d means as it is written, \u201cHe shall dwell alone,\u201d as one who was defiled in impurity. The handmaid, the Sitra Achra, succeeds her mistress, and the one who was impure sits in the place of Malchut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
51. The people of Babylon sent to the people of the holy land: \u201cIt is true that you should cry, and you deserve to lament and mourn when you see the mother\u2019s halls in ruins and the place of her bed overturned because of the mourning, and Malchut, the mother, is not there and she has fled from you, and you do not know of her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
52. \u201cSay that she is with us in the exile, and her tabernacle has descended within us. Thus, we should be glad because Prophet Ezekiel saw her here, and all of her battalions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
53. Indeed, we should cry and lament like a crocodile and like the ostriches of the desert, since she has been banished outside her hall, and we are in exile, and she comes upon us with bitterness and sees us each day in several troubles, in several laws that are decreed upon us at each time, and she cannot remove the troubles from us, and all those shortages that we are suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
54. The people of the holy land sent to them: \u201cOur mother has fled and been deported from within her halls, and has descended to you with bitterness and a sad voice like a woman who sits without cognizance, and like a man who cannot save. And you deserve to lament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
55. \u201cBut we deserve to weep and lament with wailing and with bitterness, for we see the ruined hall each day, and desert foxes going in and going out, and ostriches whistling within it. We see and cry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
56. \u201cWhile we sit in bewilderment with our mouths lying in the dust, we hear a pleasant sound, the feet of the Shechina in the three watches of the night, coming down and seeing her halls, how they are destroyed and burned. She goes from hall to hall, from place to place, and she howls and wails over us and over our souls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
57. And we wake up to the sound of our cries and wails, and our spirit follows her and flees with her. And for the time being, it suddenly blossoms and goes, and we did not hear and did not know at all that she went, and we are left bewildered, falling asleep, without spirit, without knowledge, crying out and saying \u201cHow.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
