At that time, the lower the Shechina obtains GAR, and the higher the Shechina, which is the mother of the sons, was glad with the correction of the twelve tribes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, Leah did not die, and with Benjamin, the Shechina began to take the house and become corrected, as she is considered the Yesod [foundation] of the twelve tribes. This is why she is the first to correct the Shechina. For this reason, Benjamin is always in the west, in banners, since Yesod is considered west.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>174) With Benjamin, the Shechina begins to correct in twelve tribes, and with him, the Kingdom of heaven begins to become known in the land. This is so because the first king in Israel, Saul, was of his sons, and any beginning that is about to be known comes with questions. This is why it contains a judgment of death. Afterwards, she settles and persists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>175) When the Shechina wanted to be corrected and to take the house in the correction of the twelve tribes, the judgment was made in Rachel, for she died. Afterwards she was corrected to settle. Similarly, when Malchut wanted to become known in the land, she began with judgment and did not settle in her proper place until the judgment awakened in Saul according to his actions, and he was killed in the mountains of the Gilboa. Afterwards, Malchut settled in David and was corrected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>176) Every beginning is hard, then comes relief. In the beginning of the year, the beginning is hard, since the whole world is judged, each according to his deeds. Afterwards there is relief, forgiveness, and repentance on the day of atonement and Succoth. This is so because the beginning is in the left, hence its judgments are harsh, and then the right awakens, as it is written, \u201chis left hand be under my head.\u201d Afterwards, it is written, \u201cand his right will embrace me\u201d; hence the relief.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>177) It is to the contrary in the nations of the world. In the future, the Creator will first awaken peacefully over the other nations, the idol worshippers, and afterwards will prevail over them with harsh judgment, as it is written, \u201cThe Lord will go forth as a mighty man, as a man of war He will stir up envy.\u201d First HaVaYaH, which is mercy, and then as a mighty man, though not like a real mighty man. And afterwards, \u201clike a man of war,\u201d but not like a real man of war. After that, the Gevura appears over them to obliterate them, as it is written, \u201cHe will cry, yea, He will shout aloud, He will prove Himself mighty against His enemies.\u201d And it is written, \u201cThen shall the Lord go forth and fight,\u201d and it is written, \u201cWho is this that comes from Edom\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>175) It is written, \u201cThe Lord is good, a stronghold on a day of trouble.\u201d Happy is the man who strengthens in the Creator, since the stronghold of the Creator is a stronghold. \u201cThe Lord is good,\u201d as it is written, \u201cThe Lord is good to all.\u201d The stronghold is a stronghold that has salvations, as it is written, \u201cHe is a stronghold of salvation to His anointed.\u201d \u201cIn the day of adversity,\u201d a day of trouble, when the other nations pester Israel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>173) When Rachel (who was meant to be corrected in twelve tribes) died, she took the house, the Shechina, so
