78. It is forbidden for man to look where the Creator loathes, and his soul is far from him. As it is forbidden to look at what the Creator loves, it is forbidden many times over with what is far from Him. Man is forbidden to look at the rainbow, since it is a similitude of the upper image, since Malchut has the three colors of the rainbow, her three lines. Also, man is forbidden to look at the token of his covenant, since it implies to the righteous one of the world. Also, man is forbidden to look at the fingers of the priests when they stretch out their hands, since the glory of the upper king is present there. As it is forbidden to look at a high and holy place, it is certainly forbidden to look at an impure place. This is why it is written, \u201cDo not turn to the idols.\u201d Just as it is forbidden to look at them, it is much more so with serving them or making them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
79. \u201cDo not turn to the idols\u201d comes to warn Israel as with the Ten Commandments not to turn to the idols, corresponding to \u201cYou shall have no other god besides Me,\u201d and \u201cDo not make for yourselves mask gods,\u201d corresponding to \u201cYou shall not make for yourselves statues.\u201d \u201cI am the Lord your God\u201d corresponds to \u201cI am the Lord your God.\u201d \u201cEvery one of you shall fear his mother and his father\u201d corresponds to \u201cHonor your father and your mother.\u201d And observe MY Sabbaths\u201d corresponds to \u201cRemember the Sabbath day to consecrate it,\u201d and \u201cDo not swear falsely in My name\u201d corresponds to \u201cDo not utter the name of the Lord your God in vain.\u201d \u201cThe adulterer and adulteress shall be put to death\u201d corresponds to \u201cDo not make adultery,\u201d and \u201cYou shall not stand up against the life of your neighbor\u201d corresponds to \u201cDo not commit murder.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
80. The Ten Commandments speak in singular form, \u201cI am the Lord your God,\u201d Remember the Sabbath day,\u201d Do not utter the name of the Lord,\u201d \u201cDo not murder,\u201d Do not commit adultery,\u201d Do not steal.\u201d Here, however, it is written in plural form, \u201cI am the Lord your God,\u201d \u201cEveryone shall fear his mother and his father,\u201d \u201cObserve My Sabbaths,\u201d Do not turn to the idols.\u201d Indeed, since the day when Israel were present in the world, they were present before the Creator in one heart and in one will, as on that day when they stood at Mount Sinai. For this reason, everything is said in singular form. Afterwards, it is said in plural form, since they were not so much in one will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
