On the first day, Hesed, He did His work to shine for them, as it is written, \u201cAnd all the people of Israel had light,\u201d and also, \u201cAnd the Lord walks before them by day,\u201d as it was in Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the second day, Gevura, He divided Israel from the Egyptians, as it is written, \u201cAnd let it divide between water and water,\u201d and it is written, \u201cAnd the one did not come near the other all that night.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>86. On the third day, Tifferet, He took them through the sea. It is written, \u201cAnd God said, \u2018Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>87. The light that was created on the first day, Hesed, the sun and the moon shine from it on the fourth day, Netzah. Both of them are right line, and it is written about them, \u201cAnd the Lord walks before them by day in a pillar of smoke, to guide them on the way.\u201d ZA is called \u201csun.\u201d \u201cAnd by night, in a pillar of fire to give them light,\u201d meaning Malchut, who is called \u201cmoon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>88. On the second day, the sea was created, as it is written, \u201cLet there be a firmament in the midst of the water.\u201d The fifth day elicited the fish of the sea from the sea. The fish of the fifth day depend on the second day, since both are in the left line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>89. The third day, Tifferet, comprises the first and second days. It is the degree of Jacob, eagle, the middle line, which consists of water and fire, right and left. And the sixth day, Yesod, depends on the third day, Tifferet, since both are in the middle line, and in it, the man was created from the dust that is on the third day, Tifferet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>90. The first day, Abraham, Hesed, is the right line. Opposite him in the same line is Netzah. Aaron the priest\u2014whose face shines like the sun\u2014corresponds to Netzah, the fourth day. Netzah depends on Hesed since both are on the right line, one below the other, as it is written, \u201cAt Your right are pleasures forevermore [Netzah],\u201d for Netzah [forever] is incorporated in \u201cYour right,\u201d in Hesed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>91. The second day is Isaac, whose degree is Gevura, the left line. Corresponding it on the same line is the fifth day, Hod, the degree of David.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>92. The third day is Jacob, the middle line, corresponding to that line, the sixth day, Solomon, who is Yesod. Solomon has the words of \u201cShalom [peace\/wholeness] of the Lord,\u201d and Shalom is Yesod. It is written about Yesod, \u201cBehold, I give him My covenant of peace,\u201d since Yesod is called \u201ccovenant\u201d and is called \u201cpeace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>93. The day of Shabbat [Sabbath] is Malchut, the degree of Ben [son of] Yod-Hey, which is Vav of HaVaYaH, ZA, the tree of life, whose duration is five hundred years, which are the five Sefirot HGT NH by which he reaches the Sefirot of Yesod. The Sefira Yesod is not a new Sefira, but rather contains HGT NH, to connect with the letter Hey, Malchut, to bestow these five Sefirot upon Malchut. The day of Shabbat is Moses, the degree of Bina. You find that the day of Shabbat is Malchut, Yesod, and Bina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We could ask why&nbsp;<em>The Zohar<\/em>&nbsp;takes a different order here in the seven righteous that correspond to the seven Sefirot, since it says everywhere that NH are Moses and Aaron, Joseph is Yesod, and David is Malchut, while here it regards Aaron as Netzah, David as Hod, Solomon as Yesod, and Moses as Malchut and Bina, since the order is not the same in all the degrees, and there are several other orders in this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>94. The day of Shabbat contains all six days. \u201cAnd on the seventh day, God concluded\u201d is the first day. \u201cHis work\u201d is the fourth day, \u201cand rested on the seventh day\u201d is the second day, \u201cfrom all His work, which He had done\u201d is the fifth day, in which the Temple was ruined. There was no construction on the fifth millennium, as there was no hint or visit to redemption. \u201cAnd sanctified it\u201d is the third day, \u201cbecause in it, He rested from all His work,\u201d is the sixth day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>95. \u201cWhich God has created to do\u201d means He still needs to do. However, this is the bodies for the souls of the wicked, for whom the Creator did not want to make bodies that would incarnate and clothe in bodies in the world, but rather, they all wander about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>96. The Shabbat of everyone and the rest of everyone will be Moses, similar to Ben [son of] Yod-Hey, ZA. His mate is Malchut, Shabbat, of whom it is written, \u201cand His kingship rules over all,\u201d ruling over the works mentioned on the day of Shabbat, as it is written, \u201cAnd on the seventh day, He rested from all His work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>97a. It is not as the fools think, that the Creator worked, or that He labored to do His work, and rested on the seventh day, like a person who had labored in his work, and after he completed it, he rested. Rather, throughout the time when the Shechina [Divinity] is in exile, it is written, \u201cAnd the dove found no resting place,\u201d meaning she did not find for herself a righteous from whom she would find peace of mind and contentment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>97b. Her peace of mind and contentment are those righteous in whom she comes down and dresses, like Abraham and Aaron and his descendants, Hesed and Netzah, Isaac and David and his descendants, Gevura and Hod, and Jacob and Solomon and his descendants, Tifferet and Yesod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is written about them, \u201cAnd on the seventh day, God concluded the work that He had done, and rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done, and God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it.\u201d They contain the six days, and the seventh day contains all six days, and it is everyone\u2019s rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>98. The seventh day, Moses, which contains everyone, all six righteous, the Shechina rests in it out of everyone. This is the meaning of \u201cAnd on the seventh day, He rested,\u201d God\u2019s rest, the Shechina, who is called God. It is not written, \u201cAnd the Lord [HaVaYaH] rested,\u201d ZA, since the mother, the Shechina, labors with the children, she is with the children in exile until it can be said that she has returned from her labor, and not ZA, as it is written, \u201cFor your crimes, your mother was sent away,\u201d the Shechina, who went down to exile with Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>99. For this reason, the four elements\u2014fire, wind, water, and dust\u2014corresponding the four animals\u2014lion, ox, eagle, and man\u2014HG TM, each does its work. Lion is Hesed. The ox is as red as a rose, leans to the left, takes the color fire, and makes depictions and drawings in man. His place is in the heart, and he is Gevura.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>85.
