Moses opened and said, \u201cIt is a commandment for the high priest to marry a virgin, as it is written, \u201cA widow, or a divorced woman, or a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute, these he shall not take; but he shall take as his wife a virgin from his own people.\u201d Why is it necessary for him to take only a virgin, without a flaw? A woman is a cup of blessing. If it has been tasted, it has been \u200eflawed. This implies Malchut, who is called \u201ca cup of blessing,\u201d and the priest, who offers \u200ea sacrifice before the Creator, must be perfect and flawless in his organs, without any defect, \u200esince the defects flaw the priest. Perfect in his body; perfect in his Nukva, to observe through it the verse, \u201cYou \u200eare all beautiful, my wife, and there is not a flaw in you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>39. The offering is a gift. Israel must send their gift to the king via a perfect person, since they are in oppositeness from the Sitra Achra, who would send their gifts to the Sitra Achra through an imperfect person, as it is written, \u201cone lot to the Lord, and one lot to Azazel,\u201d since other gods are all flawed from the north side, as it is written, \u201cfrom the north shall evil break out.\u201d Likewise, most of the houses of idol-worshippers are flawed in their Nukva, who is a ruin, Lilit, flawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>40. Moses is ZA, Vav of HaVaYaH, filled with abundance from HB, Yod-Hey of HaVaYaH. He is in the order Yod-Hey-Vav, which is why all three letters are in him, Yod-Hey-Vav of HaVaYaH. The bottom Hey of HaVaYaH, Malchut, is a cup full of the blessing of the Lord from the right side, a cup of blessing. From the side of Gevura, judgment, the Shechina is called HaVaYaH. The letter Hey controls this combination, judgment over Vav, Rachamim [mercy]. Yod-Hey, the Mochin, at the end of the combination, indicate judgment, as it is written, \u201cBehold, the hand of the Lord will be on your cattle,\u201d for Malchut, who is called \u201cthe hand of the Lord,\u201d is in the combination HaVaYaH [the Lord], to execute judgment in Egypt\u2019s cattle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>38.
