25) \u201cAnd the children struggled together within her; and she said, \u2018If this is so, why am I like this?\u2019 And she went to inquire with the Lord.\u201d \u201cShe went to inquire with the Lord,\u201d to the seminary of Shem and Ever. \u201cAnd the children struggled together within her,\u201d since Shem was that wicked one, Esau, who made war against Jacob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStruggled\u201d means that they were broken and split. Esau came from the side that rides the serpent, Sam\u2019el, and Jacob from the side that rides the perfect, holy throne\u2014the side of the sun, ZA\u2014to make a coupling with the moon, the Nukva. The throne is Nukva, the moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
26) Because Esau was drawn after that serpent, Jacob treated him with deceit, as with a serpent, which is cunning and treats with deceit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is how it should be in order to draw Esau after that serpent and to separate from Jacob. And he had no share with him, not in this world and not in the next world, as we learned that one who comes to kill you, kill him first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He followed his brother in the abdomen, meaning he kept him low, in the heel. This means that he separated him from holiness and lowered him to the side of impurity, called \u201cheel,\u201d at the conclusion of holiness. It is written, \u201cAnd his hand had hold on Esau’s heel,\u201d meaning that he put his hands on that heel in order to subdue it under holiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
27) \u201cAnd his hand holding Esau\u2019s heel.\u201d Jacob could not come out and altogether depart him, but his hand remained holding onto Esau\u2019s heel. And his hand, the moon, the Nukva, called \u201cthe hand of Tifferet,\u201d who is Jacob, its light was covered because of Esau\u2019s heel. Hence, Jacob needed to act wisely with him, to push him down so he would cling to his place, the Sitra Achra, and completely depart from holiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
28) \u201cAnd his name was called Jacob.\u201d Clearly, the Creator is the one who called him Jacob. The Creator saw that that primordial serpent was wise in doing harm. When Jacob came, the Creator said, \u201cThis one must be equally wise as the serpent\u201d; hence, the Creator called him Jacob, after his wisdom, for he knew how to stall the serpent and separate him from holiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
30) Jacob knew that Esau would cling to that Slant Serpent. For this reason, he followed him in all his actions like another Slant Serpent, opposite him, cleverly and shrewdly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is written, \u201cAnd God created the great sea monsters.\u201d These are Esau and Jacob. It is also written, \u201cAnd every living creature that creeps,\u201d which are all the other degrees between them. Thus, Jacob and Esau are sea monsters, meaning serpents, Esau being the Slant Serpent, and Jacob following him like a parallel Slant Serpent opposite him. Thus, it was necessary that Jacob would make himself wise so as to stand up to that other serpent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
31) For this reason, every month, one goat is offered, to attach it to its place so it is separated from the moon, Nukva of ZA, whose light was covered because of Esau\u2019s heel. And also, that goat should be offered on Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement). This is done wisely, to govern it so it cannot do harm. In other words, Esau is a goat, and the wisdom in the goat is the first day of the month, the first day of the year, and Yom Kippur. It is all done with wisdom and deceit toward it, since it is the evil serpent, wise in harming, slandering above, and inciting below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
32) For this reason, Israel move first and plot against him with great wisdom, so it cannot do harm and govern. And for this reason, Jacob, who is faith, all that he did was toward Esau so as not to let that serpent defile the tabernacle and to not draw near it, so it would not rule over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is why neither Abraham nor Isaac needed to behave deceitfully, since Esau, who is the side of that serpent, had not yet come to the world. But Jacob, who is the landlord, the owner of the Shechina, had to stand up to that serpent so as to not give him its dominance in defiling Jacob\u2019s tabernacle, which is the Nukva. Thus, Jacob had to fight cunningly with him more than all the people in the world. And because Jacob fought cunningly with him and acquired the seniority and blessings from him, the holy Israel were chosen to be the share and the lot of the Creator.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
