36. \u201cSet me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm.\u201d \u201cSet me as a seal\u201d is the assembly of Israel, Malchut. She said that to the Creator. A seal is the seal of the ring of truth. \u201cAs a seal upon your heart\u201d is the seal of the Tefillin that a person places on his heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs a seal upon your arm\u201d is the weak hand, Malchut, putting on that arm, which is Isaac, the left line of ZA. The assembly of Israel says \u201cSet me as a seal,\u201d as a seal like those head Tefillin, which are called \u201ca seal,\u201d as gain, Mochin, comes from them to the whole body. This is why the Tefillin are in the arm and on the heart, and by this, a person is as whole as above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Mochin of AVI are called \u201cpure ring,\u201d after the light in them, which are called \u201cpure air.\u201d The Mochin of YESHSUT are simply called \u201cring.\u201d When illumination of Hochma shines in them, they are called \u201ca ring of truth,\u201d since the illumination of Hochma in the ring removes all the shells that lie in the name of the king, and the truth is revealed, as it is written, \u201cYou will give truth to Jacob,\u201d as these Mochin are revealed only through the middle line, called \u201cJacob.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the perspective of Malchut, those Mochin are called \u201ca seal\u201d for two reasons: 1) It is the last of the Sefirot, akin to a seal that comes at the end of the letter. 2) Since those Mochin are revealed only in her, and shine only from her and above. In that respect, she is the seal of the king. It is like a king who sits in his hall, and the countryfolk recognize his seal. When they see his seal on his commands, it is as if they see the king himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this reason, these Mochin are generally called \u201cthe seal of the ring of truth,\u201d which contain YESHSUT, ZA, and Malchut. YESHSUT is the ring, ZA is the truth, and Malchut is the seal. Hence, a seal is the seal of the ring of truth, meaning the Mochin of illumination of Hochma which includes YESHSUT, ZA, and Malchut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Malchut receives these Mochin from the middle line and from the left line in ZA. For this reason, \u201cas a seal upon your heart\u201d is the seal of the Tefillin that a person places on his heart, which corresponds to Malchut who receives these Mochin from the phase of the heart of ZA, the middle line, from which Malchut receives, as it is written, \u201cHis left under my head.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The assembly of Israel says, \u201cSet me as a seal.\u201d \u201cAs a seal,\u201d like those head Tefillin, the Mochin of GAR of ZA, which receive these Mochin first. The gain comes from them, they shine for the whole body of ZA, to the right and to the left, and for this reason, the Tefillin are in the arm and on the heart, since she receives from the two phases of the Guf [body] of ZA, from the heart, the middle line, and from the arm, the left line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
37. \u201cFor love is as strong as death.\u201d There is nothing as hard in the world as the departure of the soul from the body at the time of death, when they have to part. So is the love of the assembly of Israel for the Creator; they never separate. For this reason, the hand Tefillin, Malchut, connects to the arm, the left line of ZA, to observe the verse, \u201cHis left under my head.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
38. \u201cJealousy is as hard as Sheol [netherworld].\u201d In all the degrees of Hell, there is no place like Sheol; it descends lower than all the degrees, except for the degree called \u201climbo,\u201d which is below Sheol. The two of them connect, and they are harsher on the wicked ones than all the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is written, \u201cJealousy is as hard as Sheol,\u201d but there is no Jealousy except out of love, and out of love comes jealousy, when one is jealous for the diminution of love, as it is written, \u201cand he is jealous for his wife.\u201d One who is jealous for the one he loves the most, it is harder for him to part from him than the degree called Sheol, which is harder than all the degrees in Hell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
39. \u201cIts flashes are flashes of fire, the flame of the Lord.\u201d The flame of the Lord is fire that comes out of the Shofar [festive horn blown on certain occasions]. It consists of wind and water, meaning illumination of Hochma that emerges from the left line, which is the fire in Bina, which is called Shofar. That fire, the left line, also consists of her two lines, the middle line, which is called \u201cwind,\u201d and the right line, which is called \u201cwater.\u201d From within the flame of the Lord that blazes in the assembly of Israel, Malchut, it burns the world with the blaze of jealousy for the Creator. At the time when she is jealous for Him, woe to one who encounters that flame, for it burns them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The illumination of Hochma is received mainly from the left line. Although it already incorporates all the lines, when the illumination of Hochma appears, it still appears only on judgments, which are the flame of the Lord. At the time of revealing of the judgments, there is diminution of love. At that time, Malchut says, \u201cJealousy is as hard as Sheol, its flashes are flashes of fire, the flame of the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
