495) It is written, \u201cOn the third day \u2026 and Abraham raised his eyes and saw the place from afar.\u201d It is also written, \u201cFor in Isaac shall seed be called to you,\u201d since Jacob came from him. This is so because Isaac is the left line, whose existence is only through the middle line, Jacob, and he is called \u201cOn the third day.\u201d Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are HGT, three days, and Jacob is Tifferet, the third day. This is why he looked at Jacob, who is the existence of Isaac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
496) \u201cAnd saw the place from afar.\u201d It is written, \u201cFrom afar the Lord appeared to me.\u201d This is the screen of Hirik in the middle line. \u201cAnd saw the place\u201d is Jacob. Abraham looked on the third day, the third degree, Tifferet, and saw Jacob there, who was destined to emerge from him, but from afar, meaning not in the near future. He saw only the screen, but he still did not see the correction of the middle line, called \u201cJacob,\u201d the level of Hassadim that emerges on the screen of Hirik, and saw that this correction would be in the remote future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
497) What benefit is it for Abraham to see that Jacob was to emerge from him while he was going to bind Isaac? It would bring him to question the Creator\u2019s words, for if he were to sacrifice him, how would Jacob emerge from him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
498) But of course he saw Jacob, since even before the tying he had the upper Mochin that come out on the three lines, where the middle line is Jacob. And now he looked on the third day, the third degree, Tifferet, to bring the perfection from him, to complement his Mochin, since there is no perfection unless from the middle line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And then he saw Jacob, as it is written, and saw the place, the middle line, but from afar, without attainment, since he went to tie Isaac and did not wish to question the Creator, who told him to sacrifice him. This is why he did not thoroughly attain the middle line, Jacob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
499) \u201cFrom afar\u201d means he saw him with a mirror that does not shine, meaning he saw the screen of Hirik without the level of Hassadim that emerges on this screen. This is why he saw him and he did not appear to him in whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the shining mirror\u2014the level of the light of Hassadim\u2014were on the mirror that does not shine, the screen, Abraham would have attained him properly. However, this was not the case, but was only from afar, meaning he saw only his screen, which was detaining the light, and did not see the coupling by striking on it, which elicits the level of the light of Hassadim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
500) The shining mirror departed from the screen because it is Jacob\u2019s degree, and because Jacob had not yet been born, meaning the level of Hassadim was not yet in the screen. Moreover, it was so he would tie his son and receive reward. If the shining mirror were on the screen, he would clearly attain that Jacob were to emerge from him, and he would not keep the Creator\u2019s commandment to tie his son. \u201cAnd saw the place from afar\u201d means that he saw Jacob from afar, that he was not rewarded with him because he did not attain him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
501) \u201cAnd they came to the place.\u201d Even though he came to that vision and he saw Jacob, Abraham said, \u201cThe Creator certainly told me to tie Isaac. This I know in a different way, properly.\u201d Promptly, as it is written, \u201cAnd Abraham built the altar there.\u201d Even though he saw that Isaac would beget Jacob, he still did not question and revoked his reason before the Creator\u2019s, and he built the altar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
502) \u201cAnd Isaac spoke unto Abraham his father and said, \u2018My father,\u2019 and he said, \u2018Here I am, my son.\u2019\u201d Since he did not reply to him, he said a second time, \u201cMy father,\u201d and then he replied, \u201cHere I am, my son.\u201d He did not reply the first time he said because Abraham was removed from a father\u2019s mercy for his son and came to the quality of judgment. This is why he did not reply to his first address. And this is why he said, \u201cHere I am, my son.\u201d \u201cHere I am\u201d means that the mercy has departed and become judgment. \u201cI\u201d implies the quality of judgment, and Hinneni [Here I am] is like Hineh Ani [two words for saying, \u201cHere I am\u201d], meaning he descended into judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
503) \u201cAnd Abraham said.\u201d It does not write, \u201cAnd his father said, \u2018God will see for Himself the lamb for a burnt-offering.\u2019\u201d It is not written, \u201cAnd his father said,\u201d since he was not with him like a father, but was in dispute with him. It is also written, \u201cGod will see for Himself the lamb for a burnt-offering.\u201d \u201cWill see for Himself,\u201d meaning for Himself, when He needs it. But now my son is for a burnt-offering, and not a lamb. Promptly, \u201cSo the both of them went together,\u201d meaning Isaac went by the will of his father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
504) \u201cBehold, their brave ones cry outside, the ambassadors of peace cry bitterly.\u201d \u201cTheir brave ones\u201d are the upper angels. \u201cCry outside,\u201d when Isaac was tied, since they wanted the words of the blessing of the seed, \u201cAnd He took him outside,\u201d to come true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
505) \u201cAmbassadors of peace\u201d are other angels who were destined to walk before Jacob. And the Creator promised them wholeness because of Jacob, as it is written, \u201cAnd Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.\u201d They are the ones who are called \u201cAmbassadors of peace.\u201d They all cried when they saw Abraham tying Isaac, and upper and lower were all startled for Isaac.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
