For this reason, He gave them the true law, by which to merit knowing the ways of the Creator, so they will inherit the holy land. This is so because anyone who is rewarded with this holy land has a share in the next world, as it is written, \u201cThy people also shall be all righteous; they shall inherit the land for ever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>245) There are three degrees: Jacob, and Israel, and Yeshurun [Jeshurun]. Jacob is the degree of VAK without a Rosh [head]. Israel is the degree of GAR, although they are degrees, they are one, ZA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>246) Why are Israel called \u201cYeshurun\u201d? Israel and Yeshurun are all one. Yeshurun, as it is written, the Yeshur [aligning] of people, since he takes a line from this side and a line from that side. And because these are two lines, he calls them Yeshurun, in plural tense. Israel is also a line, with the letters of Yashar El [straight to God].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>247) Israel is read with a left Shin [pronounced as Sin], which is Serara [authority] for taking Gadlut and strength from all. Yeshurun is named after those parts, which are the two sides, right and left, which are two lines, and it is all one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rows mean lines, and the name Yeshurun, which is in plural form, indicates two rows. Hence, it necessarily contains the two upper lines\u2014Hochma and Bina. And the name, \u201cIsrael,\u201d which has the letters of Yashar El, indicates a line, as well, as in, aligning of people. Also, this is in singular tense, which indicates the middle line, which is Daat\u2014containing the two upper lines, which are HB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Israel and Yeshurun are one, for both are GAR of ZA, from Chazeh of ZA upwards. Yeshurun, since he takes a Shura [line] from this side, and a Shura from that side, the two upper lines\u2014right and left, Hochma and Bina of ZA. The name, \u201cIsrael\u201d is from the word \u201cline,\u201d with the letters of Yashar El, middle line, Daat, VAK of Rosh of ZA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Israel is pronounced with a left Shin [Sin], which means authority, for taking greatness and strength from all, since it contains both. Hence, it takes its greatness from the right line and its strength from the left line. Yeshurun is named after those parts, the two sides, right and left, which are the two rows, Hochma and Bina of Rosh of ZA, and all three names are one, for all are in ZA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>248) All these names become one, which are three Partzufim: HBD, HGT, NHY of ZA, called Beria, Yetzira, Assiya of ZA. Yeshurun is HBD, Israel is HGT, and Jacob is TNHY. This is why it is written, \u201cJacob My servant,\u201d since at times he is a servant, like a slave following his master\u2019s orders and doing his will. This indicates that he has no Mochin, since he is Partzuf TNHY and considered Assiya of ZA. It is written, \u201cIsrael, whom I have chosen,\u201d to be in it, in Mochin of GAR. All are in the Upper One, for all three degrees are in the Rosh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These degrees rise to one, which are the three Partzufim ZA, Yeshurun, Israel, and Jacob, which are HBD, HGT, NHY, and Beria, Yetzira, and Assiya. This is why it is said about them, Bore [creating], Yotzer [making], Ose [doing]<a href=\"https:\/\/kabbalahmedia.info\/en\/sources\/AUm64G9J#fn1\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a>&nbsp;All these degrees are one atop the other, and they are all one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is written, \u201cyour creator Jacob and your maker Israel,\u201d and it is written, \u201cThus said the Lord, who made you and created you.\u201d It follows that it should have said, \u201cThe one who made you, Jacob,\u201d and not \u201cYour creator, Jacob.\u201d The thing is that there is inverse relation between lights and vessels. When there are only vessels of Beria in the Partzuf, there is only the discernment of Jacob in it. And when vessels of Yetzira are added in the Partzuf, there is the discernment of Israel, as well. And when vessels of Assiya are added to the Partzuf, there is the discernment of Yeshurun, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why it is written, Bor\u2019echa Yaakov veYotzrecha Ysrael [Your creator Jacob, and your maker Israel].<a href=\"https:\/\/kabbalahmedia.info\/en\/sources\/AUm64G9J#fn2\"><sup>2<\/sup><\/a>&nbsp;And saying that Israel is Yetzira and HGT does not mean that it is VAK without a Rosh, for here it speaks only of Mochin and Rosh in the three Partzufim HBD, HGT, NHY in the Rosh of ZA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>249) Happy is the lot of Israel, for the Creator wanted them from among all the idol worshipping nations, for those are all as it is written, \u201cThey are worthless, a work of delusion,\u201d and will be lost on the day of their calling. When the Creator will blot them out from the world and will remain Him alone, as it is written, \u201cand the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator
