15) \u201cSix years you shall sow your field … But in the seventh year shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath unto the Lord.\u201d \u201cBut the seventh you shall let it rest and lie fallow [Shmita<\/em>], that the poor of your people may eat.\u201d Because the poor are dependent upon Malchut<\/em>, Shmita<\/em>, leave them so they may eat. This is why one who has pity on the poor gives peace in the assembly of Israel (since the poor depend on her), adds blessing in the world, and gives joy and strength to righteousness, Malchut<\/em>, for he imparts blessings to the assembly of Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16) \u201cBut in the seventh year shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest.\u201d This Mitzva<\/em> [commandment] is to rest on the seventh year, and after that, to rest on the seventh, and after that, to leave money on the seventh, and after that, to count \u201cSeven times seven years; and there shall be unto you the days of seven Sabbaths of years, forty-nine years.\u201d All the sevenths are from Divinity, Malchut<\/em>, who is called \u201cseven\u201d because the righteous, Yesod<\/em>, is seventh to Bina<\/em>. Also, Malchut<\/em> is seven because of upper Ima<\/em>, Bina<\/em>, which shines in her, since Bina<\/em> is seventh from below upwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17) There are seven names: Aleph<\/em>–Bet<\/em>–Gimel<\/em> Yod<\/em>–Tav<\/em>–Tzadik<\/em>, Kof<\/em>–Reish<\/em>–Ayin<\/em> Shin<\/em>–Tet<\/em>–Nun<\/em>, Nun<\/em>–Gimel<\/em>–Dalet<\/em> Yod<\/em>–Chaf<\/em>–Shin<\/em>, Bet<\/em>–Tet<\/em>–Reish<\/em> Tzadik<\/em>–Tav<\/em>–Gimel<\/em>, Het<\/em>–Kof<\/em>–Bet<\/em> Tet<\/em>–Nun<\/em>–Ayin<\/em>, Yod<\/em>–Gimel<\/em>–Lamed<\/em> Peh<\/em>–Zayin<\/em>–Kof<\/em>, Shin<\/em>–Kof<\/em>–Vav<\/em> Tzadik<\/em>–Yod<\/em>–Tav<\/em>. They contain forty-two letters, and the sum of letters and words is forty-nine: forty-two letters and seven words. Upper Ima<\/em>, Bina<\/em>, is the fiftieth year, in which it is written, \u201cAnd proclaim liberty,\u201d since on it, by receiving its Mochin<\/em>, the lower Divinity, Malchut<\/em>, called \u201cland,\u201d will be liberty, redemption, and Shmita<\/em> for Israel. It is said about them, \u201cYour seed will be as the dust of the earth,\u201d meaning Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

18) Each Sefira<\/em>, each of those seven names contains six wings, corresponding to HGT<\/em> NHY<\/em>, which are six letters in each name. The Creator shines for the angels in each of those seven Sefirot<\/em>. It is said about them, \u201cWith two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.\u201d Bina<\/em> is one, and the lower Divinity is seven, and above Bina<\/em>, the High Priest would count each one, he would count ten Sefirot<\/em> by sprinkling\u2014one is Keter<\/em>, one and one are HB<\/em>, one and two are HG<\/em>, one and three are Tifferet<\/em>, one and four are Netzah<\/em>, one and five are Hod<\/em>, one and six are Yesod<\/em>, and one and seven are Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

19) It was gradually growing because holiness is increased, so he adds one every time. From the side of the foreigner, the Sitra Achra<\/em>, the water was decreasing. This was in the place where the lower Divinity, Malchut<\/em>, is in the seven, as it is written, \u201cAnd the ark rested in the seventh month,\u201d which is the lower Divinity, from which the water began to recede. \u201cOn the seventeenth day of the month,\u201d meaning Malchut<\/em>, which is \u201cseventh,\u201d and \u201ctenth,\u201d since when you begin to count from Keter<\/em> downwards, Malchut<\/em> is tenth, and from Hesed<\/em> downwards she is seventh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

20) He rises and shines in forty-nine years. The name EKYEH<\/em> is Bina<\/em>\u2014the year of Jubilee. Bina<\/em> is called EKYEH Asher EKYEH<\/em> [\u201cI am that I am\u201d]. This is twice EKYEH<\/em>, which is twenty-one in Gematria<\/em>, hence, forty-two. And with the eight letters in the two EKYEH<\/em> [in Hebrew], it is fifty, in which there is the Mitzva<\/em> to calculate the year of Jubilee. In it is also the Mitzva<\/em> of returning to the degree from which his soul was gripped. Return means that at the Jubilee, each will return to his place, as it is written, \u201cIn this year of Jubilee,\u201d \u201cThe spirit shall return to God,\u201d to Bina<\/em>\u2014HaVaYaH<\/em> with punctuation of Elokim<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

21) Shmita<\/em> is the lower Divinity, from the seven years. Jubilee is upper Ima<\/em>, Bina<\/em>, for fifty years, and in which Israel were referenced when they came out of Egypt. At that time, they had the Torah, and it is said about them, \u201cAnd the children of Israel went out armed.\u201d Fifty is Bina<\/em>, as they were at the exodus from Egypt when they were delivered by the fiftieth gate, Bina<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

22) The lower Divinity is the redemption of the houses of wall-surrounded cities. It is said in it, \u201cAnd the houses of cities of yard-houses [cities not surrounded by wall].\u201d There are two houses in the heart, which corresponds to Malchut<\/em>. If they engage in the Torah, they are called \u201chouses of wall-surrounded cities,\u201d which was said when they came out of Egypt and the waters were a wall to their right and to their left. But to others, who did not engage in Torah, they were called \u201cyard houses,\u201d since the interior of Malchut<\/em> is called \u201cwall-surrounded houses,\u201d and the exterior of Malchut<\/em> is called \u201cyard houses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

23) Thus we found that it was said about yards, \u201cAnd stood in the inner court of the king’s house, over against the king’s house.\u201d And wherever it refers in the Megillah [The Book of Esther<\/em>] to the king in general, it is the Creator. \u201cStood\u201d does not mean standing, but praying. \u201cAgainst the king\u2019s house\u201d means opposite from the Temple, where all of Israel should pray their prayers, to be opposite the Temple. Thus, there are two yards to the house of God, inner and outer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

24) The two yards are the externality of the heart, externality of Malchut<\/em>, and they are the two ears of the heart. The two inner houses are the two houses of the heart, internality of Malchut<\/em>. And two are the inner houses and two are the outer houses. Redemption will be for all, for those who are close to the heart, Divinity, and for the remote ones who have grown closer, as it is written, \u201cPeace, peace, to him that is far and to him that is near. \u201cTo him that is far,\u201d due to transgression, \u201cAnd to him that is near,\u201d because of the Mitzva<\/em> [commandment\/good deed].<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
