45) It is written, \u201cI adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, what will you tell him? that I am lovesick.\u201d The soul says to those souls that are rewarded with entering the Jerusalem of above, \u201cI adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved,\u201d the Creator, the brightness of the mirror of above, \u201cwhat will you tell him? that I am lovesick,\u201d to enjoy His brightness and stay under His shade. \u201cI am lovesick,\u201d that passion and yearning that I yearn in the world over everything; hence, I am lovesick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
46) That love, which the soul loves the body, since the time of the body is completed, those days that it was sentenced to, as it is written, \u201cAnd Sarah died \u2026 And Abraham rose up from before his dead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
48) All seven days, man\u2019s soul visits his body and mourns him, as it is written, \u201cBut his flesh will pain him and his soul will mourn him,\u201d and it is written, \u201cAnd Abraham came to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her.\u201d \u201cAnd Abraham came\u201d is the soul; \u201cto mourn for Sarah\u201d is the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
49) When the soul is rewarded and rises to the place of her stature, the body lies in peace on its resting place, as it is written, \u201cThose who walk rightly will come in peace and rest on their resting places.\u201d \u201cWalk rightly,\u201d to the place of Eden, which is concealed for her, as \u201crightly\u201d is written with the letter Hey [in Hebrew]. When she is not rewarded and deserves to be punished, she walks desolate and visits the body and the grave each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
50) The hard femur, the thigh bone, was struck and moved from its place and was dragged to and fro, walks and visits its place for twelve months. Similarly, that soul which is worthy of punishment walks out in the world and visits her place in the world and in the graveyard for twelve months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
51) \u201cAnd Abraham rose up from before his dead.\u201d When the soul is in the wholeness of the upper one, from Bina, the letter Hey is added to her, and she is called Abraham. And here it is written, \u201cAnd Abraham rose up from before his dead,\u201d as though he is not so righteous. How can someone who sits in a big chair descend and sit in a small and lower chair?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the letter Hey that was added to Abraham implies that he rose and obtained the great Mochin from Bina. And the words \u201cAnd Abraham rose up from before his dead\u201d indicate Mochin of Katnut that shine to the body. Rising means reception of Mochin, which puts one on one\u2019s feet. \u201cFrom before his dead\u201d means from the face that belongs to the body of the dead, who is called Sarah, which is Mochin of Katnut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And since the soul is called Abraham, it indicates that she already has Mochin of Gadlut from upper Bina. Thus, why does the verse say, \u201cAnd Abraham rose up from before his dead,\u201d implying Mochin of Katnut?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
52) When the soul is worthy of rising to her place of Eden, she first protects the holy body that emerged from there and then rises to the place of her level. \u201cAnd Abraham rose up from before his dead.\u201d Before the soul departs from the body to rise to the Garden of Eden, she draws the proper Mochin for the body so it may join the count with the rest of the bodies of the righteous. And these Mochin are implied in the words \u201cAnd Abraham rose up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
53) \u201cAnd Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the children of Het.\u201d \u201cThe children of Het\u201d are the rest of the bodies of the righteous, which are frightened and beaten in the world so as to fear their Maker. And they fear and dread because they dwell in the dust. This is why they are called \u201cthe children of Het.\u201d And why does the soul need the bodies of the righteous? They are all written in the count, for he takes them into account and brings them out to the revival of the dead in the calculation. This is why the soul spoke to them, so the body will be counted with them. And this is why it is written, \u201cAnd spoke unto the children of Het.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
54) And what did the soul, which is called Abraham, tell them? She spoke respectfully and by way of appeasement: \u201cI am a stranger and a dweller with you.\u201d He told them, \u201cThis body will be with you in the same count in this joining.\u201d And they, too, answered him respectfully and by way of appeasement, as it is written, \u201cAnd the children of Het answered Abraham, \u2018Hear us, my lord; you are a prince of God among us.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
