82) \u201cAnd in the desert where you saw, how the Lord your God carried you as a man carries his son.\u201d What is, \u201cYou saw\u201d? The Creator spoke loudly to Israel in the desert, as it is written, \u201cThe great and terrible desert with its fiery serpents and scorpions.\u201d And in the desert, the strongest of all the deserts in the world, He led Israel there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
83) At the time when Israel came out of Egypt and were completed into 600,000, the holy Malchut<\/em> was strengthened and rose above everything, and the moon, meaning Malchut<\/em>, illuminated. Then the evil Malchut<\/em> of Sitra Achra<\/em> surrendered and the Creator brought Israel out to walk in the strong desert, in the place and governance of evil SAM<\/em>, who was actually his, to break his authority and strength, and to cut its head and subdue it so it would not rule. And if Israel had not sinned, the Creator would have wished to remove him from the world. Hence, He moved Israel through his actual lot and fate, and domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 84) Since they sinned several times, the serpent bit them, and then, \u201cHe shall bruise you on the head,\u201d came true, meaning that Israel struck its head first. However, they did not know how to beware of it and the serpent struck last, and all fell in the desert, and the words, \u201cAnd you shall bruise him on the heel,\u201d came true. Forty years they were struck by it, corresponding to forty strikes of the courthouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 85) This is why it is written, \u201cWhere you saw,\u201d since they saw with their eyes the owner of the desert walking chained before them, and they took his lot and his fate. It is written, \u201cThen the chiefs of Edom were frightened,\u201d which are the fiery serpent and the scorpion,\u201d and we, too, separated from the settled place to the strong desert, to engage in Torah there, to subdue that side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 86) Moreover, words of Torah settle in only there, since there is no light except for that which comes out of that darkness. This is so because when that side surrenders, the Creator rises above and His glory grows. Also, the work of the Creator is only out of darkness, and there is no good except from within the bad. And when one enters a bad way and leaves it, the Creator rises in his glory. Hence, the perfection of everything is good and bad together, and to later depart to the good. And there is no good except for that which comes out of the bad. And in that good, the glory of the Creator increases, and this is complete work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 87) Thus far, we have been sitting there all the days of the year, to surrender that side in the desert. Now that the time of the holy work of the holy side has come, we are returning to the settled place where there is the work of the Creator. Moreover, now in the beginning of the year, it is the time for that serpent to ask for Din<\/em> from the Creator. And there in the desert he rules, which is why we parted there and came to the settled place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 82) \u201cAnd in the desert where you saw, how the Lord your God carried you as a man carries his […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":15775,"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-15788","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-zohar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
