308) The spirit of Tuma\u2019a<\/em> is the evil serpent. SAM<\/em> rides it, and they are male and female, which are called \u201cthese.\u201d They are present in the world in all their Behinot<\/em>. The spirit of holiness is called \u201cThat\u201d [in female form], which is the covenant, the holy impression that is always with the man, Ateret<\/em> Yesod<\/em>. It is also called \u201cthis\u201d [in male form], as it is written, \u201cThis is the Lord.\u201d It is also written, \u201cThis is my God.\u201d However, they are called \u201cthese,\u201d as it is written, \u201cThese are your gods, Israel,\u201d and it is written, \u201cThese may forget, as well,\u201d relating to the deed with the calf, and \u201cI,\u201d which is \u201cthis,\u201d will not forget you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is written, \u201cFor these I weep,\u201d since the sin of the calf, which is called \u201cthese,\u201d caused them to cry. The sin of the calf is called \u201cthese\u201d because the letters ELEH<\/em> [these] are Bina<\/em> and TM<\/em> that fell from each degree to the degree below it, where KH<\/em> that remained in the degree are MI<\/em> of Elokim<\/em>, and Bina<\/em> and TM<\/em> that fell are ELEH<\/em> of Elokim<\/em>. However, afterwards they returned to the degree and became the left line. Then, through the middle line, the letters ELEH<\/em> reunited with the letters MI<\/em>, and the name Elokim<\/em> was completed. Yet, the sin of the calf was that they clung only to the left line and did not want the middle line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It follows that the letters ELEH<\/em>, which are left, did not bond with the letters MI<\/em> on the right, to complete the name Elokim<\/em>, but caused separation in the name Elokim<\/em> because they took only the left line, which is ELEH<\/em> [these]. Thus, the whole sin of the calf was because they separated the letters ELEH<\/em> from Elokim<\/em> and took them for themselves, as it is written, \u201cThese are your gods, Israel.\u201d This is also the sin of the tree of knowledge, that SAM<\/em> and the serpent seduced her into separating ELEH<\/em> from Elokim<\/em>, which is why they are called \u201cthese.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

309) \u201cFor these I weep,\u201d since permission was given to the place called \u201cthese\u201d to rule over Israel and destroy the Temple. \u201cI weep\u201d is the holy spirit, Malchut<\/em>, who is called \u201cI.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

310) But it is written in admonition, \u201cAre these the words of the covenant?\u201d Of course. And here, too, it relates to the Sitra Achra<\/em>, since all those curses exist only out of \u201cthese,\u201d where all the curses are found. The Sitra Achra<\/em> is cursed, as it is written, \u201cYou are more cursed than all beast.\u201d For this reason, he first said, \u201cThese,\u201d which stands over those who transgressed against the words of the covenant, as it is written, \u201cThese are the commandments that the Lord commanded Moses.\u201d It is so because the Mitzvot<\/em> [commandments] of the Torah are to purify a man so he will not stray to this path of \u201cthese,\u201d and will be safeguarded from them and part from them. And it is written, \u201cThese are the commandments,\u201d for the commandments come to purity \u201cthese.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

311) \u201cThese are the generations of Noah.\u201d There, too, was the Sitra Achra<\/em>, since Ham, Canaan\u2019s father, came out, and it is written, \u201cCursed be Canaan.\u201d This is why it is written \u201cThese,\u201d for he is cursed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

312) For this reason, all those are fusion of waste of the gold. Aaron offered gold, which is his side, in relation to him being included in the power of the fire when the right is included in the left. For this reason, Aaron, who is right, was included in the left, the power of the fire, and the left side is gold and fire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
