The verse teaches that Adam had a mist in the clarity, where although the Creator appeared to him by the wind of the day in clarity, he still could not tolerate it, \u201cand Adam and his wife hid themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this world, a man is like a bird that walk, when she leaves her nest and does not find anyone to let her in. So is man: When the soul exits the body, he no longer knows or understands anything, except for that body that was made from extensive illumination, which comes to him in the Garden of Eden to entertain himself. Here, too, when Adam sinned, the upper soul departed from him, he returned to the beastly soul, and therefore lost the intellect and intelligence, and hid from the Creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>792. It is written, \u201cwalking\u201d [with a Tav in Hebrew]. Should it not have written \u201cwalking\u201d [without a Tav]? However, it is written, \u201cthe sound,\u201d which is the same one of which it is written, \u201cMoses spoke, and God answered him with a sound,\u201d and also \u201cAnd there came a voice above the firmament over their heads.\u201d It is written, \u201cthe voice of the Lord,\u201d and not \u201cthe Lord.\u201d \u201cWalking in the garden by the wind of the day\u201d is also written about the voice, as it is written, \u201cAnd as I prophesied, there was a sound, and behold, a noise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>793. Here we must delve, for it is Maase Merkava [Maase: work, Merkava: composition\/construction\/chariot]. The voice that is above the firmament, above the heads of the animals, are the Merkava. High secrets were revealed here, higher than Maase Merkava.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>791. \u201cAnd they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden by the wind
