22. \u201cAnd Abram heard that his brother had been taken captive.\u201d It is written, \u201cI arose to open to my beloved, and my beloved had turned away and was gone. My soul went out when he spoke.\u201d One should purify from one\u2019s iniquities while the roads to repentance are open before him, before the road is blocked, as it is written, \u201cSeek the Lord while He is found; call Him while He is near.\u201d There are times when He is near, and there are times when He is far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
23. It is written, \u201cThe Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in Truth.\u201d This verse assists him. It means that it is written, \u201cto all who call upon Him in truth.\u201d And yet, it is written, \u201cHe will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
24. There is an allegory about a king that a person came and shouted before him. The king listened to everything he said and did not reply to him. He shouted, and the king listened and kept silent. The person left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
25. The servants said to the king, \u201cLord, why did you not reply anything to that poor man?\u201d He said to them, \u201cI heard everything he said, and I listened to him, but he is indebted to me and is not worthy of his will being done, since he and his friends were told many times in my name not to be bad, and to come to me, and I will do good to them, but they did not look at me. Now, I do not look at them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
26. So is the Creator, \u201cThe Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon him in truth,\u201d and hears them. But regarding one who does His will, it is written, \u201cHe will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him, and He will hear their cry and save them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
27. We learn from Moses, as it is written, \u201cHow shall it be known that I have found favor in your eyes, I and your people?\u201d Moses said, \u201cLord of the world, we do not need an angel or a Seraph or a minister. How different will we be from the nations? They have a minister, and we have a minister. However, \u201cso that we are distinct, I and your people,\u201d and by what then will it be known that I have found favor in Your eyes, if not by Your walking with us, You and not a minister?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
28. What was Moses\u2019 opinion that he did not accept the angel? Moses said, \u201cI know that Israel are indebted and an obstinate people. If they are given to an angel, especially to someone who is the quality of judgment, not a single relic will remain of Israel\u2019s enemies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
29. HaVaYaH is the quality of mercy everywhere. Moses said, \u201cLord of the world, You said that I have found favor in Your eyes. So now, if I have found favor in Your eyes, please would ADNI, who is the quality of mercy, walk among us?\u201d since ADNI here is Malchut, which is one with HaVaYaH, and then He is the quality of mercy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
30. He asked him, \u201cWhy do you not want an angel?\u201d He said to him, \u201cBecause it is a stiff-necked people, and You will forgive our iniquity and our sin and our inheritance. Israel refuse to listen and are bothersome. Because they sin, the angel may pass judgment and not forgive and pardon. But You are a merciful and gracious God; You have the ability and the power, and Your mercy are plentiful, and You will forgive our iniquity and our sin and our inheritance, which no angel has permission to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
