The fruit of the actions of the Creator is from that river that stretches out of Eden, meaning ZA and the souls of the righteous. In other words, its deed is the souls of the righteous. And this is the fortune from which all good blessings and timely rains pour out, as it is written, \u201cTo water the garden.\u201d It trickles and waters from above downward because sons depend on this fortune and on no other place. Fortune is Dikna of AA. And when ZA receives the Mochin from him, he is called \u201cfortune,\u201d too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>425) This is why it is written, \u201cAnd the Lord visited Sarah.\u201d It only writes \u201cvisited,\u201d which is the Nukva. It is also written, \u201cAnd the Lord did to Sarah.\u201d Doing is sons, and the souls of the righteous are the fruits of His actions. It is above this degree of visiting, as it depends on luck. This is why it writes \u201cvisiting\u201d here, which is extended from the Nukva, and \u201cdoing\u201d there, which is extended from ZA. And this is why it is written HaVaYaH and HaVaYaH [Lord and Lord]; it is all one. It is written about visiting, \u201cAnd the Lord visited,\u201d He and His courthouse, meaning the Nukva, and it is written about doing, \u201cAnd the Lord did,\u201d which is ZA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>426) \u201cChildren are a heritage of the Lord; the fruit of the womb is a reward.\u201d \u201cChildren are a heritage of the Lord\u201d means inheritance in which to unite with the Creator so as to never part from Him. This is so because one who is rewarded with sons in this world is rewarded with them so as to be in the presence of the Creator in the next world. It is because that son that the man left, with whom he was rewarded in this world, will make him worthy of the next world. And through him he will enter the Creator\u2019s inheritance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>427) What is the \u201clot of the Lord\u201d? It is the land of the living, the Nukva. Also, King David called the land of Israel \u201cthe land of the living,\u201d \u201cthe lot of the Lord,\u201d as it is written, \u201cFor they have driven me out this day that I should not cling unto the lot of the Lord.\u201d This is why it is written, \u201cChildren are the lot of the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who awards a person with the lot of the Lord? Sons award him. If he is rewarded with sons in this world, they are the reward for the fruit of the womb, a reward and a good portion in the eternal world, since through that fruit of the womb, man is rewarded with the eternal world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>428) \u201cChildren are the lot of the Lord,\u201d meaning the inheritance and lot of the fruits of the deeds of the Creator, the tree of life, since the Creator is called \u201cthe tree of life\u201d because it is from there that man is rewarded with sons, as it is written, \u201cFrom Me is your fruit found.\u201d It is written, \u201cHappy is the man who has his quiver full of them\u201d; happy is he in this world, and happy is he in the next world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>429) It is written, \u201cThey will not be ashamed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.\u201d Who are the enemies at the gate? The litigants. When the soul departs this world, there are several litigants that stumble before him prior to entering his place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the gate\u201d means that they stand in the same gate through which he entered. And he is saved from them because he placed a mortgage in this world\u2014the sons\u2014and for them he will be rewarded with the eternal world. This is why \u201cthey will not be ashamed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>430) As long as one engages in Torah, the Shechina comes and joins. It is all the more so when traveling along the way\u2014the Shechina comes and puts herself ahead, walking before the people who have been rewarded with the faith of the Creator.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>424) \u201cAnd the Lord did to Sarah.\u201d Since he said, \u201cAnd the Lord visited Sarah,\u201d why, \u201cAnd the Lord did
