46) To chastise you seven times more for your sins. What is Seven? If the Creator were to collect what He deserves, if He were to punish by the same weight as the sin, the world would not be able to withstand for even a minute, as it is written, \u201cIf You, Lord, should mark iniquities O Lord, who could stand?\u201d And you say, \u201cSeven times more for your sins.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
47) However, it is seven opposite you, which is Shmita<\/em> [release, fallow (of land)], Malchut<\/em> that is mitigated in Bina<\/em>, which is seven because she is called \u201cseven,\u201d as it is written, \u201cAt the end of every seven years thou shall make a release.\u201d This is why it is written, \u201cSeven times more for your sins.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Malchut<\/em> is called Sheva<\/em> [Seven] and she is also called Bat Sheva<\/em> [daughter of seven]. When he says only Sheva<\/em>, it is to release and to perform Dinim<\/em> [judgments], to liberate everything in her. Thus, Sheva<\/em> by itself indicates Malchut<\/em> when she is in Dinim<\/em> de<\/em> Bina<\/em>. These Dinim<\/em> are preparation to be able to receive the Mochin<\/em> of illumination of Hochma<\/em> from the Bina<\/em>. And these Mochin<\/em> are the liberation of everything. But she is still in preparation and in Dinim<\/em> and not in Mochin<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bat Sheva<\/em> means that she has connected with ZA<\/em>, to shine and to govern her Malchut<\/em> together, to announce the kingship in the land and in everything, for the Mochin<\/em> have already come out in her. And then she is called Bat Sheva<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cTherefore the name of the city is Be\u2019er Sheva<\/em> [Beer-sheba] unto this day.\u201d Be\u2019er Sheva<\/em> [the well of seven] is the well of Isaac, the Mochin<\/em> of illumination of Hochma<\/em>. Sheva<\/em> and Bat Sheva<\/em> are the same thing; they both indicate her adhesion to Bina<\/em>, called Sheva<\/em>. But Sheva<\/em> is in Katnut<\/em> [infancy], during the Dinim<\/em>, and Bat Sheva<\/em> is in Gadlut<\/em> [adulthood].<\/p>\n\n\n\n 48) \u201cAnd I also will chastise you seven times for your sins.\u201d \u201cI will chastise you\u201d through other appointees. \u201cAlso,\u201d since I am ZA<\/em>, who awakens to you to save you. Thus, Sheva<\/em>, Malchut<\/em>, will awaken over you to save you, meaning ZA<\/em> and Malchut<\/em> will be included with them in exile and will therefore deliver them from exile, as he interprets before us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 49) The Creator\u2019s sublime love for Israel is like a king who had an only son who sinned before the king. One day, he sinned before the king. The king said, \u201cAll those days I have been striking you but you did not receive. Henceforth, see what I will do to you. If I expel you from the land and take you out of the kingdom, bears might charge you in the field, or wild wolves or murderers could obliterate you from the world. What should I do? Instead, you and I will go out of the land.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 50) \u201cYou and I will leave the land and go into exile.\u201d This is what the Creator said to Israel. \u201cWhat shall I do with you? I have stricken you but you would not listen; I have brought upon you enemies at war and harm-doers to strike you, but you would not listen. If I take you out of the land alone, I fear that several bears and several wolves will rise against you and obliterate you from the world. But what shall I do with you? Thus, you and I will leave the land and go into exile, as it is written, \u2018And I will chastise you,\u2019 to go into exile. And if you say that I will leave you, I, too, am with you.\u201d \u201cSeven times more for your sins\u201d refers to Sheva<\/em>, Malchut<\/em>, who will be expelled with you. And why? For your sins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 46) To chastise you seven times more for your sins. What is Seven?
