904) \u201cHappy are you, O land whose king is of nobility and whose princes eat at the appropriate time.\u201d When Moses brought Israel out of Egypt and liberated them. \u201cAnd whose princes eat at the appropriate time,\u201d as it is written, \u201cAnd you shall eat it in haste\u2014it is the Lord’s Passover.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
905) Rabbi Shimon said, \u201cDid I not say that all the words of King Solomon are inside the King\u2019s hall? This verse is above, in the upper hall, Malchut.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
906) \u201cHappy are you, O land whose king is of nobility\u201d is merely a land, Malchut. It is written, \u201cHe has cast from heaven the land of the glory of Israel.\u201d This land is inside the crowns of the holy king, the Sefirot, in which it is written, \u201cOn the day that the Lord God made earth and heaven.\u201d God is Bina; heaven is ZA; earth is Malchut. All that this earth suckles and feeds on is from a place called \u201cheaven,\u201d since this earth feeds only on the holy perfection, which is called \u201cheaven.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
907) When the Creator wished to destroy His house below\u2014the Temple\u2014and the holy land below, He first transferred into the holy land above, which is Malchut, and lowered from the degree from which it suckled, the holy heaven, ZA, and then destroyed the one below. First it is written, \u201cHe has cast from heaven the land.\u201d And then, \u201cAnd has not remembered His footstool,\u201d which is the Temple, and the holy land below, which is called \u201cHis footstool.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So are the ways of the Creator when He wishes to sentence the world. First, He sentences above, and then the sentence is executed below, as it is written in the beginning, \u201cThe Lord will command the host of heaven on high,\u201d and then \u201cAnd the kings of the earth on earth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
908) \u201cHappy are you, O land whose king is of nobility,\u201d ZA, who nurses you with everything without fear of another. Everyone is fed by that high King. \u201cAnd whose princes eat at the appropriate time,\u201d as it is written, \u201cNow it shall be said to Jacob and to Israel, what God has done,\u201d which are ministers. \u201cWoe to you, O land whose king is a lad,\u201d as it is written, \u201cAnd I will make lads their princes,\u201d for woe unto a land if it suckles from the left, which is called \u201ca lad.\u201d \u201cAnd whose princes eat in the morning,\u201d in the darkness of the left, as long as the middle line, which unites right and left, does not illuminate and does not govern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
909) \u201cThe middle bar in the center of the boards shall pass through from end to end.\u201d This is the holy and complete Jacob, as it is written, \u201cAnd Jacob was a whole man, dwelling in tents.\u201d It does not say, \u201cDwells in a tent,\u201d but \u201cDwelling in tents,\u201d which means two, for he is gripped to Malchut above Chazeh of ZA, who is called Leah, and to Malchut below Chazeh of ZA, who is called Rachel. Here, too, it is written, \u201cThe middle bar in the center of the boards shall pass through from end to end,\u201d gripping to Leah and Rachel, the full level of ZA from end to end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
910) \u201cA whole man\u201d means perfect, for he is perfect from everything: perfect to the two sides, to holy Atik and to ZA. It is so because he is the middle line, determining and complementing the two lines\u2014right and left\u2014in Bina, who is sometimes called \u201choly Atik,\u201d and the two lines in ZA, for he is whole, for upper Hesed and for upper Gevura\u2014the two lines, right and left, in Bina\u2014and complements for Bina and for ZA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
