131) \u201cThen Rebecca took the best garments of Esau.\u201d Those are the garments that Esau won from Nimrod. They were treasured apparels from Adam haRishon and they came into the possession of Nimrod, and Nimrod would hunt his game in them, as it is written, \u201cHe was a mighty hunter before the Lord.\u201d This is so because when he wore them, all the beasts, the animals, and the birds would gather for him and fall before him. And Esau went to the field, fought with Nimrod, killed him, and took those apparels from him, as it is written, \u201cAnd Esau came in from the field, and he was weary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
132) Esau hid those garments with Rebecca and would go out to hunt game in them. And that day, when Isaac sent him to receive the blessings, he did not take them and went to the field. This is why he was belated there. Because he did not dress in clothes, the animals did not gather toward him and he had to chase them, and was therefore delayed, and Jacob had time to take the blessings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Esau wore them, they did not smell at all. But when Jacob wore them, the loss had returned to its place, meaning they returned to Adam haRishon, since Jacob\u2019s beauty was the beauty of Adam haRishon. For this reason, at that time they returned to their place and spread scents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
133) How is it possible that Jacob\u2019s beauty is as the beauty of Adam haRishon? The heel bone of Adam haRishon darkened the sun. Would you say that Jacob, too, was like that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was certainly so in the beginning, before Adam haRishon sinned. At that time, no creature could look at his beauty. But after he sinned, his beauty was changed and his level decreased and was set at the level of one hundred Ammah [cubit (length measure)]. But prior to the sin, his level was from the earth to the firmament. And Jacob\u2019s beauty was as the beauty of Adam haRishon after the sin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The beauty of Adam haRishon is the matter of the upper faith, Bina, depending on that beauty. In other words, he was rewarded with the light of Bina, and from there he obtained the beauty. This is why it is written, \u201cAnd let the pleasantness of the Lord our God be upon us,\u201d since the light of Bina is called \u201cpleasantness.\u201d It is written, \u201cTo behold the pleasantness of the Lord,\u201d which is the beauty of Jacob, who was rewarded with the light of Bina, like Adam haRishon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
134) \u201cAnd he smelled the smell of his garments, and blessed him.\u201d This is said about ZA, the middle line that limits the illumination of Hochma so it will shine in the form of scent, from below upward. This is why it is written, \u201cThe smell of his garments,\u201d after Jacob\u2014the middle line\u2014wore them. But before he wore them, they did not emit scent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Jacob wore them, they emitted scent. And as long as Isaac did not smell the apparels, he did not bless him. This is so because then, when they emitted scent, he knew that he was worthy of being blessed. Had he not been worthy of being blessed, all those holy scents would not have risen with him, as it is written, \u201cAnd he smelled the smell of his garments, and blessed him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
135) \u201cAs the smell of a field which the Lord has blessed.\u201d What field? A field of apples. The Nukva is called \u201ca field of holy apples,\u201d which the upper patriarchs HGT of ZA support and correct. When the Nukva receives from HGT of ZA, which are called \u201cthe three colors of the apple\u2014white, red, and green\u2014she is called \u201ca field of apples.\u201d This is so because then she is in illumination of Hochma. And since the illumination of Hochma in her shines only from below upward, she is called \u201cscent.\u201d This is because the scent is received from below upward, from the nose to the brain, and is not imparted from above downward, as it is written, \u201cAs the smell of a field which the Lord has blessed,\u201d like the illumination of Hochma in the Nukva, which shines in form of scent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
