And when he came to Jacob, his deeds were not wholesome. \u201cAnd fell on his neck,\u201d meaning one neck, since the Yod, which is the neck of the entire world, is missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd fell on his neck,\u201d not on his necks, with a Yod,<a href=\"https:\/\/kabbalahmedia.info\/en\/sources\/PRlqK6an#fn1\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a>&nbsp;because the Temple was ruined twice\u2014once by Babylon and once by the descendant of Esau. It follows that Esau threw himself on Jerusalem and ruined it only once. This is why it is written, \u201c\u2026and fell in his neck,\u201d once, without a Yod, which means that he ruined it only once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>123) \u201c\u2026and kissed him,\u201d punctuated above the letters, indicating that he did not kiss him willingly, as it is written, \u201cthe kisses of an enemy are deceitful.\u201d This is Balaam. When he blessed Israel, he did not bless them with the will of the heart. And here, too, \u201cdeceitful are the kisses of an enemy\u201d is Esau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>124) It is written, \u201cArise, Lord, save me, my God, for You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone; You have broken the teeth of the wicked.\u201d Do not read, Shibarta [broke], but Shirbavta [stuck out], as it is written about Esau that his teeth stuck out since he sought to bite him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>125) Hence, \u201cthey wept.\u201d How much did Esau\u2019s mind and heart sought to harm Jacob? Even when he kissed him he thought, in time he will do him harm and stop him. Hence, \u201cthey wept.\u201d One was weeping because he thought he would not be saved from him, and the other was weeping because his father was alive and he could not kill him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>126) Certainly, Esau\u2019s anger calmed when he saw Jacob, since he agreed with Esau\u2019s appointee, who reconciled with him and agreed with the blessings. This is why Esau could not restrain his anger, for everything in the world depends upon Up High: when they are first decided above, so they are decided below. And also, there is no government below until the government is given from above. And also, everything depends on each other, for all that is done in this world depends on what is done above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<ol
