158) Bronze of the wave offering are mountains of bronze, two mountains, ZON<\/em> of Noga<\/em>, and they are called \u201cbronze plinths.\u201d There are gate-guards who surround all who are inside because they are the gate-guards who stand at the gates from outside. It is so because the Noga<\/em> surrounds the Kedusha<\/em> and keeps it from the Klipot<\/em>. They come and go in the King\u2019s house, in Malchut<\/em>, since the good side in Noga<\/em> is complete Kedusha<\/em>, though outside Kedusha<\/em>, and sometimes it goes inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

159) All of the instruments of the altar, to use them, are of bronze, ZON<\/em> de<\/em> Noga<\/em>. These are instruments for the altar when the souls draw near, to rise over the altar, Malchut<\/em>. They are the one who do the work of the altar, and all help the souls serve service, and they are called \u201cinstruments of the altar.\u201d Also, all the Kelim<\/em> and the stakes of the tabernacle, which are outside the tabernacle, as well, are called by names of instruments of service, to serve in the holiness. By that, all the appointees and the Merkavot<\/em> [pl. of Merkava<\/em>], and certain directions stand each in its place. In certain palaces of Kedusha<\/em>, they are all under calculation, as it is written, \u201cWho leads forth their host by number.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

160) The gold in the tabernacle is connected to the upper gold, Gevura<\/em>. Likewise is the silver to the upper silver, Hesed<\/em>, and the bronze in the tabernacle to the upper bronze, Tifferet<\/em>. It is so because the bronze below, ZON<\/em> de<\/em> Noga<\/em>, takes power from the bronze above, Tifferet<\/em>. Also, all the colors mingle in one another to unite and connect with one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

161) Gold hooks are poised to tie those curtains of azure and purple, scarlet, and linen to one another, connector to connector. The bronze hooks are to connect the tabernacle, the goat-hair curtains, and they stand opposite each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They all stand as the stars in the firmament. As the stars illuminate in the firmament and are seen, so these hooks in the tabernacle illuminate. Those hooks illuminate and seem as stars, standing, protruding, and sparkling. And these 50 of gold and 50 of bronze illuminate one opposite the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

162) One spark comes out of the upper light, ZA<\/em>, sparkling and illuminating in a mirror that does not illuminate. That is, it illuminates to Malchut<\/em>. The spark consists of all the illuminating colors, and it is called \u201cpurple.\u201d When that purple strikes\u2014bestows\u2014in the dark light, Malchut<\/em>, another spark comes out, which is not flaming, azure, and they mingle with one another. These are the holy garments in which Michael, the high priest, is robed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

163) When Michael wore those garments of glory, he entered to serve in the holy place. But as long as he was not wearing those garments, he did not enter the holy place, as it is written, \u201cAnd Moses entered the midst of the cloud and went up to the mountain.\u201d He clothed himself in the cloud, and then went up to the mountain. But as long as he did not clothe in it, he could not enter. Likewise, the high priest does not enter the holy place before he is clothed in those garments to enter the holy place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

164) And because they emerge from the upper ones, and they are as above, they are called \u201cofficial dress\u201d [literal translation: garments of residue], from the word \u201cresidue\u201d because they remain from those upper garments, as they were from what was left of the lights of the upper splendors. Azure is Malchut<\/em>, and purple is ZA<\/em>. These are colors of the holy name, whose complete name is HaVaYaH Elokim<\/em> [the Lord God], where HaVaYaH<\/em> is purple, and Elokim<\/em> is azure. This is the meaning of the high priest wearing it in order to come to the holy place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scarlet is the red color, opposite Gevura<\/em>. Azure and purple correspond to Malchut<\/em> and ZA<\/em>, who are included in all those colors. And because the high priest dresses in the garments of these colors, he goes inside and is not repelled outward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

165) It is all done in faith, in the degree of Malchut<\/em>, who is called \u201cfaith,\u201d so all will be as above. This is why it is written, \u201cThe official dress for ministering in the holy place.\u201d They are called \u201choly garments\u201d because they are called \u201choly\u201d only when those colors are in them, as it is written, \u201cThey are holy garments.\u201d It is also written, \u201cThe holiness of Israel is for the Lord, His first fruit.\u201d \u201cThe holiness of Israel,\u201d since all the colors are seen in Israel, who are priests, Levites, and Israel, the colors of HGT<\/em>\u2014white, red, and green. The priests are white, the Levites are red, and Israel are green, colors to be shown inside, in the holy place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
