916) \u201cWho has measured the water in His step.\u201d Water is Bina, Hesed. They are all equal because Hesed is extended from Bina. \u201cAnd marked off the heavens by the span.\u201d Heaven is Tifferet, as it is written, \u201cThe glory [Tifferet] of Israel.\u201d This is why it writes \u201cspan\u201d about Him, for He is arranged in order for glory and beauty. \u201cAnd calculated the dust of the earth by the measure\u201d is Gevura. Before the left line is included in the right, it does not shine and it is as the dust of the earth. \u201cAnd weighed the mountains in a balance\u201d are the rest of the crowns, the Sefirot NHY. \u201cAnd the hills in a pair of scales\u201d are the rest of the Merkavot [chariots\/structures], below them, in Malchut and BYA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
917) \u201cIn His step\u201d is the spirit of Hochma, the trail of the thicket is established in a sedan chair. The thicket is all the shells. The trail is the Hochma, which consumes the whole thicket, shells, wherever it shines. The sedan chair is Malchut. The trail of the thicket, Hochma, is established in Malchut and no place else. A step is the trail of Hochma. Here, too, \u201cWho has measured water in His step\u201d means Hochma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
918) \u201cAnd marked off the heavens by the span.\u201d The span are those 50 gates of Bina that developed and dispersed to all directions. \u201cSpan\u201d is dispersion.\u201d \u201cAnd calculated … by the measure\u201d is mercy, the middle line, Tifferet, which includes three lines in it, the wholeness of everything. \u201cAnd weighed … in a balance.\u201d The balance is NH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
919) Jacob, Tifferet, came out of the harsh judgement, from Gevura, which is opposite to him, since Isaac, Gevura, the harsh judgement, gripped to his portion. This is him alone. But Isaac, Gevura, came out of Hesed. So it is in all the degrees. The judgement came out of mercy, and mercy from judgement. Abraham inherited the inheritance of Hesed, and Isaac came out in judgement from within the Hesed. Jacob came out in mercy out of the harsh judgement, Isaac, and so it is above, in the degrees of Atzilut, where one comes out of the other and suckles from the other\u2014Gevura from Hesed and Hesed from Gevura\u2014until it is apparent that everything is one, they all hang down from one, and everything is one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
920) It is apparent that there is wholeness only when one grips to the other, Hesed from judgement and judgement from Hesed. The middle line, mercy, grips to both of them, uniting the two lines, Hesed and judgement. To complete everything, Jacob, the middle line, passes the bar at the center through from end to end, passing from the end of Hesed to the end of the harsh judgement. And although they are opposite to each other from one end to the other, it passes through between them and unites them with one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
921) Such a great distance is not called between the Hesed and the judgement, but on our part. Everything is apparent on our part, for in the one above, it is all the same, unchanging and will not change, as it is written, \u201cI the Lord do not change.\u201d All the candles illuminate from one, from Ein Sof, and are hanging down from one. All the candles are one, and there is no need to separate them. One who separates them, it is as though he parted from the everlasting life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
