243) \u201cA song of ascents: From the depths I have called You, O Lord.\u201d When the Creator created the world, He wanted to create man. He consulted with the Torah. She said to Him: \u201cYou want to create that man; he is destined to sin before You; he is destined to anger you. If You behave with him according to his actions, the world will not be able to withstand You, much less that man.\u201d The Creator told her, \u201cIs it for no reason that I am called \u2018a merciful, gracious, and patient God\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
244) Before the Creator created the world, He created repentance. The Creator said to repentance, Bina<\/em>: \u201cI wish to create man in the world provided that if they return to you from their iniquities you will be willing to pardon their iniquities and atone them.\u201d Each and every hour, repentance is ready for people. When people repent from their iniquities, this repentance, Bina<\/em>, returns to the Creator giving Mochin<\/em> to ZA<\/em> and atones for everything. Then the Dinim<\/em> surrender and all are perfumed, and the man is purified from his iniquities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 245) When is one purified from his iniquity? When he properly enters repentance. When he repents before the upper king and prays a prayer from the bottom of the heart, as it is written, \u201cFrom the depths I have called You, O Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 246) \u201cFrom the depths I have called You, O Lord.\u201d There is a hidden place above, and it is the depth of the well, Bina<\/em>. From here come forth streams and fountains to all sides. And the deepest of the deep is called \u201crepentance.\u201d One who wishes to repent and be purified from his iniquities must call on the Creator in this depth, as it is written, \u201cFrom the depths I have called You, O Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 247) When a man was sinning before his Master and made an offering on the altar, and the priest atoned for him and prayed his prayer for him, Rachamim<\/em> [mercy] awaken, the Dinim<\/em> are perfumed, and repentance, Bina<\/em>, imparts blessings in the fountains that extend and come forth. Then all the candles are blessed together, the Sefirot de<\/em> Malchut<\/em>, and a man is purified from his iniquities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 243) \u201cA song of ascents: From the depths I have called You, O Lord.\u201d When the Creator created the world, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":15522,"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-15576","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-zohar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
