Rabbi Hiya dozed, and saw Elijah. Rabbi Hiya said to Elijah, \u201cFrom my lord\u2019s proof of the way, the field\u2014which is the Nukva\u2014shines.\u201d Elijah said, \u201cI have come to you now, to alert you that Jerusalem is nearing destruction, and all the cities of the sages along with it,\u201d since Jerusalem, the Nukva, is judgment. It stands on judgment and is ruined over the judgment in it. And Sam\u2019el has already been given permission over her and over the heroes of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As long as the Torah awakens from below, when people engage in it, the tree of life will not depart Jerusalem above. The Torah below has stopped, since people have stopped engaging in it, in the tree of life, ZA, the tree of life from the world, the Nukva, which is called, \u201cworld,\u201d as well as \u201cJerusalem.\u201d And we must not say that this refers to the Jerusalem below, for the sages were many years after the ruin of Jerusalem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>86) Hence, as long as the sages rejoice in the practice of Torah, Sam\u2019el cannot prevail over them, for it is written, \u201cThe voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.\u201d This is the upper Torah, ZA, called, \u201cthe voice of Jacob,\u201d and while the voice does not stop, the speech rules and triumphs. Hence, the Torah must not be stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>87) One who leans to the left destroys the Nukva, since it is written, \u201cUnless the Lord guards the city, the watchman keeps awake in vain.\u201d Those who engage in Torah, who cling to the middle line, called \u201cTorah,\u201d the holy city, Nukva, stands over them. At that time, HaVaYaH, which is the middle pillar, guards the city, and not the strong people of the world, meaning those who cling to the left. This is why it is written, \u201cUnless the Lord,\u201d the middle line, \u201cguards the city, the watchman keeps awake in vain,\u201d for it will finally be ruined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>85) Rabbi Hiya and Rabbi Hizkiyah were sitting under the trees of the field of his strength.
