Before he was driven from the face of the land he was considered male light, in which harsh judgments appear. And after he was driven out, there was only the female light in him, of illumination of the left, where only weak judgments appear. And it is written that the seas he had found in the desert are from the offspring of Cain after he was driven out of the face of the land. This is why they are called \u201cseas\u201d and not \u201cdreadful\u201d [see footnote no. 10], for there are no harsh judgments in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>262) The offspring of Cain are on the side of the spirits, storms, and damagers. This is because when the day of Sabbath had to be sanctified in twilight, flying, bodiless spirits were created from that side, which are neither from the Sabbath nor from the sixth day, since they are in the twilight. And those two days remained in doubt in them, which is why they do not receive sustenance from this day or from that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>263) Cain\u2019s offspring expanded and clothed on his side, but they did not clothe in it to exist in real existence. This is why they are called \u201cseas\u201d without the Yod, since they do not have sustenance from the sixth day or from the Sabbath day, as they were created during twilight.<a href=\"https:\/\/kabbalahmedia.info\/en\/sources\/r2wqyjYE#fn1\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a>&nbsp;They are seen by people although they are spirits, since once a day they clothe in a body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He replied, \u201che found those spirits,\u201d called \u201cseas,\u201d and they taught him to beget bastards, meaning to bring together a horse and an ass to create a mule. And they walk among the mountains and clothe a body once a day, and then unclothe it and remain without a body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These spirits are extended from the illumination of the left line. But there is a big difference between the illumination of the left in the discernment of the sixth day, and the illumination of the left in the discernment of the Sabbath. This is so because the sixth day, which is the middle line, consists of the screen of Hirik, judgments of Nukva. But the Sabbath day has no screen at all. And since those spirits were created during twilight, which is part Friday part Sabbath, they are flawed and can receive from neither the sixth day nor from the Sabbath, for the doubt blemishes them and they cannot receive. Hence, they receive illumination from the left line, which shines during the coupling of ZON, and on each and every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, once a day they are clothed in a body, and then they strip off from it and remain without a body, since the three lines that shine in the coupling of ZON are called \u201cthree times,\u201d as they are extended from the three points, Holam, Shuruk, and Hirik, called three places. And one time is the left line, which is drawn from the place of Shuruk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>264) He replied, \u201cHe was a bastard, for Zibeon came unto his mother and begot a bastard.\u201d And he came in this way because of the spirit of impurity that clung to him. This is also why he had found those spirits and why they taught him all kinds of discernments from the side of impurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>265) Several others that are extended from that, all come from that same left side. They walk in the desert and are seen there because the desert is a desolate place, their dwelling place, since ruin is always extended from the left. Yet, anyone who walks by the ways of the Creator and fears the Creator, does not fear them. They went and entered the mountain, meaning drew illumination of the left in the Nukva, and they were not afraid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>266) Similarly, all those desolate mountains are their dwelling places. And it is written about all those who engage in Torah, \u201cThe Lord shall keep thee from all evil.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the Jewish calendar, the day begins in the evening of the previous day.
