The name of the Creator that was given to Moses, the name EKYEH, is a high and holy name, the name of Bina, and it is to protect the exile. If the name were in wholeness, they would not be delayed at all in the exile, but the Aleph departed from that name EKYEH, leaving Haya [was], since Aleph is the light of Hesed that departed. And because the Aleph departed, the remaining Haya was doubled in order to protect Israel, and they are both the same matter, implying the name EKYEH, since in that name, the Shechina went down to exile, but by the departure of the light of the letter Aleph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>332. This prophesy was revealed to Ezekiel in the land of the Chaldeans in the absence of the letter Aleph from the holy name, to show that there was only the river Kvar on a river that already was by the name EKYEH, which is Aleph, and which now departed from that name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>333. This is why it is written, \u201cAnd the hand of the Lord was on him there,\u201d which is judgment. At first, it is written, \u201cthe word of the Lord,\u201d and then \u201cthe hand of the Lord.\u201d It is all one, but in the beginning, it was not in judgment, for he was not in his place, that the Shechina should be revealed on him, for the text does not speak of the revelation of the Shechina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That verse, \u201cIndeed there was the word of the Lord,\u201d the holy spirit said it, which testified about Ezekiel that he was given permission, and said what he had said in the spirit of prophesy. And since it does not speak of the revelation of the Shechina, it is written, \u201cthe word of the Lord.\u201d Afterwards, when it speaks of the revelation of the Shechina, it is written, \u201cand the hand of the Lord was upon him there,\u201d which is a phrasing of judgment. Thus far, the text speaks of the operation of the prophesy. Henceforth, it is the beginning of the upper secrets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>334. \u201cAnd I looked, and behold, a stormy wind came from the north.\u201d This is the beginning of the revelation of the secrets. There is no need to reveal except for the wisehearted, who know how to study them. It is written, \u201cAnd I looked,\u201d and it is not written \u201cI will see.\u201d Rather, the first Hey, Bina, departed, and he did not see what he was not given permission to see, and not to reveal to another. This is why it is written, \u201cand I saw,\u201d without the letter Hey [in Hebrew].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>335. He looked only below, in the world of Yetzira, at those visions that are more apparent, and it is written there, \u201cand I saw\u201d with the letter Hey [in Hebrew], but here, although it implies sublime matters he was as one who looks from behind a wall. This is why the Hey departed from the word \u201csaw.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>330. \u201cIndeed there was the word of the Lord came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of
