59) The heart and the liver struggled together because the evil inclination had been canceled from the heart. Struggling means that the force of the leaders of the body was broken because the evil inclination was canceled. Then the body says, \u201cIf so, why am I? Why was I created?\u201d Promptly, it is written, \u201cAnd she went to inquire of the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
60) \u201cThe Lord said to her, \u2018Two nations are in your womb.\u2019\u201d These are two proud ones, the heart and the liver. \u201cAnd two peoples will be separated from within your body \u2026 and the older will serve the younger.\u201d This is the liver, great and big, and operates before the heart. The liver absorbs the blood and uses it before the heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
61) \u201cThe first came out red.\u201d The liver is the first, and it is red. Why is it red? It is because it swallows the blood first. Why is his name called \u201cfirst\u201d? It is because he swallows the blood first, before any other food. He is the first for the blood, but not for the formation. \u201cAnd the older shall serve the younger,\u201d since he is greater and bigger in its measure from the heart, and serves the heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This portion comes to show the people of the world that although that wholeness will be in the land, the manner and nature of the world will not change. The liver hunts game, as it is written, \u201cHe had a taste for game,\u201d and the heart thinks and dwells in tents, as it is written, \u201cJacob cooked a stew,\u201d thinking thoughts, negotiating in the Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
62) The nature of the world never changes. It is written, \u201cJacob cooked a Nazid [stew],\u201d as it is written, \u201cfor they Zadu [connived] against them.\u201d Its translation is that they thought. That is, the heart thinks and reflects on the Torah, on knowing one\u2019s Creator. It is written, \u201cEsau came from the field, and he was tired.\u201d The liver, whose nature is to go hunt game in its mouth and swallow, and cannot find it, is called \u201ctired.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It tells the heart, \u201cBefore you reflect on words of Torah, reflect on eating and drinking to sustain your body,\u201d as it is written, \u201cAnd Esau said to Jacob, \u2018Let me eat some of that red, red,\u2019\u201d for such is my way, to swallow the blood and project to the rest of the organs. \u201cFor I am tired,\u201d without eating or drinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the heart says, \u201cGive me the first and the best out of everything you swallow, give me your birthright,\u201d as it is written, \u201cAnd Jacob said, \u2018Sell me today your birthright,\u2019\u201d the beginning of lust. Until the heart reflects and thinks of the food, the liver swallows. Were it not for those yearning and reflection of the heart about the food, the liver and the organs would not be able to swallow. So is the way of the servants; they do not eat until the master eats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
