So why is it said here again? Since the presidents offered the sacrifices of the altar and all its appropriate corrections, the text comes and tells the story of the&nbsp;<em>Menorah<\/em>, which is a correction through Aaron. This is so because above the&nbsp;<em>Menorah<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;and all her candles\u2014the&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>\u2014all shine through Aaron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>49) There were twelve presidents to educate and correct the altar, meaning the twelve tribes. The four directions, four banners, have three tribes in each, and together they make twelve. It is all as it is above. The altar above,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, receives from the twelve combinations of&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>HB<\/em>&nbsp;<em>TM<\/em>, where there are three lines in each, which makes twelve. The&nbsp;<em>Menorah<\/em>&nbsp;[The Lamp at the Temple], with seven candles, was appointed on lighting them through the priest. It is all as it is above, opposite&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>&nbsp;that shines for&nbsp;<em>HGT<\/em>&nbsp;<em>NHYM<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. And the&nbsp;<em>Menorah<\/em>&nbsp;stands on a sign and is made in a miracle, meaning it was made by itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>50) The inner altar and the&nbsp;<em>Menorah<\/em>&nbsp;stand together, to everyone\u2019s joy, as it is written, \u201cOil and incense make the heart glad.\u201d The oil is the&nbsp;<em>Menorah<\/em>, meaning&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;that receives from&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>. The incense is the inner altar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two altars: 1) The most internal of all, the altar of the incense, which is set up for joy corresponding to&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>; and 2) External, the outer altar, is set up for making sacrifices opposite&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. Abundance stands out to the outer altar,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, from the inner altar,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, and those who see and observe know the high&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, the meaning of&nbsp;<em>ADNY<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>. This is so because the inner altar is&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, and the external altar is&nbsp;<em>ADNY<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. Hence, incense is offered only when there is oil, which is the unification of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>48) The tale of the&nbsp;Menorah&nbsp;and all her corrections and everything in it was already said.
