888) Rabbi Shimon said, \u201cMoses did not die.\u201d But it is written, \u201cAnd Moses died there.\u201d Also, in every place it reads \u201cdeath\u201d in regard to the righteous. What is death? On our part it is called so, but on the part of the upper ones, it is to the contrary: life has been added to him. One who is in perfection, on whom the holy faith depends, death does not depend on him and he does not die, as was with Jacob, in whom there was complete faith, which is why we learn that Jacob did not die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
889) It is written, \u201cYour name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name, and He called his name Israel.\u201d Israel is the perfection of everything; it is the absence of death, as it is written, \u201cAnd you, fear not, My servant Jacob, and do not be dismayed, O Israel, for I will save you from afar, and your seed from the land of their captivity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
890) This implies that Jacob did not die, as it is written, \u201cFor I am with you.\u201d I implies Malchut, who is called \u201cI.\u201d Happy is he whose Master told him so. It does not write, \u201cFor you are with Me,\u201d which would mean that he is attached to the Creator above but not when he is in his place below. Rather, \u201cFor I am with you,\u201d indicating that his Master came to bond and dwell with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
891) It is written, \u201cAnd Jacob returned and was quiet and at ease, and no one is making him afraid.\u201d \u201cAnd Jacob returned,\u201d meaning returned to being called by another name, as it is written, \u201cYour name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
892) \u201cAnd Jacob returned,\u201d meaning Jacob returned to the place from which he was taken. \u201cAnd was quiet\u201d means in this world, \u201cAnd at ease,\u201d in the next world, \u201cAnd no one is making him afraid\u201d of the angel of death. This means that everything was in it. Thus, Jacob did not die. \u201cAnd your seed from the land of their captivity\u201d: as his seed is alive, he is alive. Thus, Jacob did not die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
893) \u201cThe middle bar in the center of the boards.\u201d \u201cHappy are you, O land whose king is of nobility and whose princes eat at the appropriate time.\u201d It is also written, \u201cWoe to you, O land whose king is a lad and whose princes eat in the morning.\u201d Woe unto the world, for they do not look at the work of their Master, for their Master watches for them, to benefit them. He has laid before them words of Torah, and they do not look.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
