88) \u201cWhen the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest.\u201d The friends evoked all the colors of this affliction in him, and the priest knew them, to purify and to defile. He knew that they were pangs of love, or those that are found in those whose Master despises and turns away from them, since the plague is caused in the world according to man\u2019s ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
89) It is written, \u201cIncline not my heart to any evil thing, to be occupied in deeds of wickedness.\u201d We learn from this that when a person wishes to walk, he is walked, and that the Creator lures a person to walk by the way of sin and to do evil deeds, for he says, \u201cIncline not my heart to any evil thing.\u201d Thus, there is no judgment in this world or in the next world, and the Torah is not established, for it is written of her, \u201cWhether you hear or do not hear.\u201d Thus, does it all depend on man?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
90) However, David warned his heart with his words, \u201cIncline not my heart to any evil thing,\u201d to lead it in the path of truth, as it is written, \u201cAnd lay it to thy heart.\u201d \u201cAnd lay it\u201d means one must rehearse with the heart\u2014once, twice, and thrice\u2014to lead it on the path of truth and to caution it. And this is what he told him, \u201cIncline not my heart to any evil thing,\u201d for an evil thing causes affliction in the world. Then there is judgment in the world, the plague of leprosy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
91) Leprosy means closing, since it closes the upper lights and does not open. And when it closes and does not open, it is called \u201ca plague.\u201d The patriarchs, HGT<\/em>, are not nourished, for they do not receive light, and all the more so the sons, NHY<\/em>. It is written, \u201cWhen the plague of leprosy is in a man,\u201d meaning actually in Adam, in ZA<\/em>, who is HaVaYaH<\/em> with Alephs<\/em>, which is Adam in Gematria<\/em>. And from here it descends to the lower Adam, who caused it, and blocks his light, and there is affliction for all by that closing of lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 92) This is the meaning of the thing. It is written, \u201cHe has abhorred His sanctuary,\u201d when the lights of the Temple, Malchut<\/em>, were closed because the people of the world caused it with their iniquities. It is written, \u201cHe has defiled the sanctuary of the Lord.\u201d \u201cDefiled,\u201d since ZA<\/em> departed and the harsh serpent is present and casts filth and defiles, and all because of the iniquities of the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 88) \u201cWhen the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest.\u201d The friends […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":15048,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"topic":[28],"class_list":["post-15485","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-zohar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
