Rabbi Shimon came and kissed Moses\u2019 hands. He said, \u201cYou must be a son from the world of Atzilut, in the form of his firstborn son,\u201d Tifferet, the son of upper AVI, that Atzilut is His without cessation. \u201cNo other son preceded you, not in thought, not in speech, and not in action.\u201d Moses said, \u201cYou, and the friends, and the heads of the seminaries, who are summoned here with Me, are without cessation whatsoever, and without a mixture of the Sitra Achra,\u201d discerned as the world of Atzilut. They all kissed one another, they were acquainted in brotherhood, and wept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>55. Rabbi Shimon opened and said, \u201cNevertheless, the firstborn son, Moses, all his brothers must respect him, for it is written, \u201cHonor your father.\u201d Et [\u201cthe,\u201d part of the verse in Hebrew] is to include your big brother, whom you must honor. And even from all the phases, it is already interpreted about you in the Torah that the words \u201cfor he is also\u201d are Abel, that Moses was the soul of Abel. Adam HaRishon did not have a firstborn son before him, since Cain was from the side of the serpent, and Abel was from the side of Adam. \u201cFor he is also\u201d are Moses, since \u201cFor he is also\u201d have the letters of Moses [in Hebrew], the king\u2019s son in every place. You are the firstborn from the side of the tree of life, good and evil; you are good, as it is written, \u201cAnd God saw that the light was good,\u201d and also, \u201cAnd she saw him, that he was good.\u201d Interpretation: Angel Matat is called \u201cthe tree of life, good and evil, and Moses is regarded as its good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>56. For this, the Creator called you \u201cfaithful servant,\u201d since a servant is from the side of Matat. Afterwards, you rose to be a king, as it is written, \u201cAnd He was King in Yeshurun,\u201d and then a household member above. You were a king from the side of Malchut of Beria, a household member from the side of Bina of Beria, and now you are a king from the side of the tree, Malchut of Atzilut. A household member from the side of Yod-Hey, Tifferet of Atzilut, happy are you. Who caused you this? It is because of your exertion in Torah and commandments to unite the Creator and His Shechina, to bring the king to his place, and for his armies above, and for Israel below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>57. For this reason, everyone inherits from him souls of Atzilut and are called \u201chis sons,\u201d from the name HaVaYaH of Atzilut, where there is no separation and cutting. In the beginning, it was said about them that they are the sons of the Creator and His Shechina from the side of HaVaYaH in the world of Beria, as it is written about him, \u201cAnyone who is called by My name, and whom I have created, formed, and made for My glory.\u201d I have created him from the side of HaVaYaH in Beria, formed him from the side of Yetzira, and made him from the side of Assiya, and now they have become sons of HaVaYaH of Atzilut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>54.
