50) There is no father so merciful to His children as the Creator, as it is written, \u201cThat not one thing has failed of all the good things.\u201d Come and see His mercies. If it had said only, \u201cThat not one thing has failed of all the things,\u201d it would include His bad things, too, and it would be better for the world to not have been created, for it would be intolerable. But since it said, \u201cOf all the good things,\u201d and left the bad behind, meaning that He left the bad things He said about Israel aside and they did not come true, this is where His mercies are seen. This is because He does not wish to do a bad thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
51) And even though He frightened and lifted the strap, his mother came and held His right arm, and the strap remained in its place and did not come down, and the judgment was not done. This is so because they were of one mind, the one that frightened and the one that held His right arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
52) How do we know that? It is from something that was revealed, as it is written, \u201cGo down for your people have become corrupt,\u201d meaning the Creator began to lift His strap. And Moses, who did not know the way of the mother, to hold Him by His right and to detain Him, kept silent. Since the Creator saw it, He to hinted him and knocked him and said, \u201cNow let Me alone.\u201d Moses immediately sensed and gripped the Creator\u2019s arm, as it is written, \u201cRemember Abraham.\u201d This is the right arm, Hesed<\/em>, and this is why He did not bring down the strap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 53) And should you say, \u201cWhere was Ima<\/em> [mother], Malchut<\/em>, who is used to holding the King\u2019s strap? Why did she leave it in the hands of Moses?\u201d He saw a sign on their faces, recognizing in them what they had come to ask Him. He said, \u201cCome, holy sons. Come, the King\u2019s beloved. Come, My beloved. Come, those who love each other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 54) All those friends who do not love each other depart the world before their time. All the friends in Rashbi\u2019s time had love of soul and love of spirit among them. This is why in his generation, the secrets of Torah were revealed. Rabbi Shimon would say, \u201cAll the friends who do not love each other cause themselves to stray from the right path.\u201d Moreover, they put a blemish in the Torah, since there is love, brotherhood, and truth in the Torah. Abraham loved Isaac; Isaac loved Abraham; and they were embraced. And they were both gripped Jacob with love and brotherhood and were giving their spirits in one another. The friends should be like them and not blemish them, for if love is lacking in them they will blemish their value above, that is, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, which are HGT<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 55) In the future, when we see Divinity face to face, all the faces will be supported, for they will be shining in that secret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 56) The sons of the sins that the people on the outside sinned\u2014meaning the mixed multitude\u2014in which the holy nation participated, sinned in Ima<\/em>, the Malchut<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cCome, make us a god.\u201d Surely a god, to make them another god instead of Malchut<\/em>, who is called \u201cGod.\u201d Instead of this glory of Israel, meaning Malchut<\/em>, who was over them like a mother over the sons. \u201cThus they exchanged their glory for the likeness of an ox.\u201d This is the glory of Israel, their mother, the Malchut<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cThe glory is departed,\u201d for they caused Divinity to be in exile with them. Hence, \u201cThey exchanged their glory for the form of an ox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 57) Here is the meaning of the form of an ox. Below, in the wine yeast, the evil yeast, one damager came out\u2014a slanderer, the first damager in the form of a man\u2014when he approached the holiness. Since he was removed from holiness and wished to descend, he had to dress in another clothing, to harm the world. He and his chariots descended, and the first clothing he took was the form of an ox, the shape of an ox. And the first of the four primordial damagers is an ox. And these four primordial damagers come to harm the world. And the rest of the primordial damagers besides the ox are all of the ox. This is why it is written, \u201cThus they exchanged their glory for the likeness of an ox that eats grass.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The upper Mochin<\/em> are called wine, as it is written, \u201cWine, which cheers God and man.\u201d And these are the Mochin<\/em> of the left, Bina<\/em> that returned to being Hochma<\/em>. And due to the judgment in the left, there is waste at their end, called \u201cwine yeast.\u201d And out of this waste emerges the first damager to the world. And as long as the yeast are in wine, when the damager is attached to the Mochin<\/em> of holiness, called \u201cwine,\u201d it is in the form of man, in Malchut<\/em>, which is the form of man, which contains and receives all three shapes\u2014lion, ox, and eagle\u2014which are HGT<\/em>. And when it is separated from holiness and descends to being a damager, it receives the shape of an ox, which is left that is separated for itself and does not connect with the four faces. And from this the damager is made. This is the first of all the damagers in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 58) \u201cFor the likeness of an ox that eats grass.\u201d But it has no share of the extract of the bread and the seven kinds of grain. Rather, it eats grass. And since they were flawed in Ima<\/em>, Malchut<\/em>, Ima<\/em> was not there and it was unbecoming of her to be there. And since Aba<\/em>, ZA<\/em>, knew Ima\u2019s<\/em> Rachamim<\/em> [mercy] and her way, He said to Moses, \u201cMy beloved son, the way to avoid punishment for Israel is always in two: raising the strap and holding it and stopping. And since Ima<\/em> is not here, it is on you. This is what was not befitting to be shown, so that the son would not know about it, and would see the strap being set and would always fear. But both are in this scheme and are of one mind, meaning the one who raises the strap and the one who stops it are of one mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 50) There is no father so merciful to His children as the Creator, as it is written, \u201cThat not one […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":15797,"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-15864","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-zohar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
