After they were circumcised, they entered the holy part called a \u201ccovenant,\u201d Malchut. Once they gripped to it, the impurity ceased from them, like a woman whose days of impurity had stopped. Then it is written, \u201cshe shall count for herself seven days.\u201d Here, too, since they came to the holy part, to the covenant, the impurity stopped from them and the Creator said, \u201cHenceforth, the count is for purity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>163. \u201cYou shall count seven full weeks from the day after the Sabbath.\u201d \u201cFor you,\u201d for yourselves, in order to be purified in the upper, holy water, the illumination of Bina, through the Omer count. Afterwards, on Shavuot, they will come and connect to the king, ZA, and will receive His law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>164. It is written in regard to a woman in menstruation, \u201cshe shall count for herself seven days.\u201d Why \u200eare seven Sabbaths required here? It is to be rewarded with being purified in the water of the \u200eriver, Bina, whose lights are called \u201cliving water.\u201d Seven Sabbaths come out of Him\u2014the \u200eseven Sefirot HGT NHYM. In each of them there are seven Sefirot HGT NHYM, which are \u200eforty-nine Sefirot, the forty-nine gates of Bina. This is the reason for the need to count seven \u200eSabbaths, to be rewarded with ZA on the festival of Shavuot and receive the Torah, like a \u200ewoman on her night of purification, to mate with her husband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>165. It is written, \u201cAnd when the dew fell upon the camp in the night.\u201d \u201cUpon the camp,\u201d since dew, the abundance, descends from a dot, Hochma, over the forty-nine days in Bina, which are \u200ecalled \u201ccamp,\u201d and Bina connects with them in the holy King, ZA. This dew fell when Israel \u200eapproached Mount Sinai on Shavuot. At that time, dew fell in wholeness, purified \u200eIsrael, and the filth was removed from them\u2014the filth that the serpent had cast in Eve in the \u200esin of the tree of knowledge. Thus, the king connected with the assembly of Israel and they \u200ereceived the Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At that time, \u201cAll the rivers go to the sea,\u201d to purify and to bathe. All the \u200eabundance of the Sefirot of ZA goes to Malchut, to the sea, and Malchut obtains an \u200eequal level face-to-face with ZA. Thus, all are tied and connected to the \u200eholy King, ZA, the middle line, whose essence is the festival of Shavuot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>166. Any person who does not count seven complete Sabbaths to be rewarded with this \u200epurification is not called \u201cpure,\u201d is not regarded as pure, and is unworthy of having a share in \u200ethe Torah. And one who comes to Shavuot pure and does not lose the count, when the night \u200eof Shavuot arrives, he should engage in Torah, connect to her, and observe the high purification \u200ethat comes to him on that night, and he is purified.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>162. \u201cYou shall count seven full weeks from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought
