16) \u201cIf you walk in My statutes.\u201d \u201cIn My statutes\u201d is Malchut<\/em>, the place upon which the sentences of the Torah depend, as it is written, \u201cMy statutes shall you keep.\u201d Malchut<\/em> is called \u201claw.\u201d The sentences of the Torah are included in her. \u201cMy ordinances shall you keep.\u201d An ordinance is another, high place, ZA<\/em>, to which that statute, Malchut<\/em>, grips. Thus, upper and lower conjoin. The statutes in Malchut<\/em> are in the ordinances in ZA<\/em>, and all the Mitzvot<\/em> [commandments] in the Torah and all the sentences in the Torah and all the sanctities in the Torah are gripped to these ZA<\/em> and Malchut<\/em>, since the written Torah is ZA<\/em> and the oral Torah is Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17) Hence, \u201cIn My statutes\u201d are all those sentences, Dinim<\/em> [judgments], punishments, and the Mitzvot<\/em>, which are in the place called \u201coral Torah,\u201d Malchut<\/em>, called \u201cstatute.\u201d \u201cMy ordinances shall you keep\u201d means in a place called \u201cwritten Torah,\u201d ZA<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cAn ordinance of the God of Jacob\u201d; ZA<\/em> is called \u201cJacob.\u201d And one is gripped to the other, and all is one. And this is the rule of the Holy Name, the unification of ZA<\/em> and Malchut<\/em>. And one who breaches the words of Torah, it is as though he breaches the Holy Name because law and ordinance is the name of the Creator. Hence, \u201cIf you walk in My statutes\u201d is the oral Torah and \u201cMy ordinances shall you keep\u201d is the written Torah. This is the whole of the Holy Name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

18) \u201cAnd do them.\u201d Since he already said \u201cwalk\u201d and \u201ckeep,\u201d why the \u201cdo,\u201d as well? Indeed, one who performs the Mitzvot<\/em> of the Torah and follows His ways, it is as though he made Him above. The Creator said, \u201cIt is as if he made Me.\u201d Hence, \u201cAnd do them,\u201d as a law and ordinance, meaning ZA<\/em> and Malchut<\/em>. Because they are awakened by you, they can bond with one another so the Holy Name will be as it should be. Certainly, \u201cAnd do them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

19) Similarly, \u201cAnd David got him a name.\u201d But did David do it for Him? Rather, because David went in the ways of Torah, kept the Mitzvot<\/em> of the Torah, and conducted the Malchut<\/em> properly, he seemingly made the name above. And there was no other king in the world who was rewarded with it besides David. He would rise at midnight and praise the Creator until the Holy Name, Malchut<\/em>, rose in its chair at daybreak. Hence, it is as though he actually made a name there, meaning raised them for Zivug<\/em> with ZA<\/em>, as it is written on the other side, \u201cAnd the son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed.\u201d For this reason, \u201cAnd David got him a name.\u201d This is why it is said, \u201cAnd do them.\u201d If you try to do them, to correct the Holy Name as it should be, all those blessings above will be properly corrected in you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
