23) \u201cFor, lo, the kings assembled\u201d are Judah and Joseph, since both of them were kings and they approached each other to argue, both of them together because Judah was a guarantor for Benjamin. He was also a guarantor for his father, in this world and in the next world. This is why he approached Joseph to argue with him about Benjamin, so as to not be an outcast in this world and in the next world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
24) It is written about it, \u201cFor, lo, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.\u201d \u201cPassed by together\u201d means that they were angered together; they were angry with each other over Benjamin. It is written about it, \u201cThey saw, they were amazed; they were terrified, they hasted away. Trembling took hold of them there,\u201d meaning all those who were there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
25) \u201cPangs, as of a woman in childbirth,\u201d since they feared killing or being killed. And it was all for Benjamin. Joseph was sold under the counsel of Judah and was lost to his father, and now he was a guarantor for Benjamin, and he feared that he would be lost. For this reason, \u201cThen Judah approached him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
27) \u201cFor, lo, the kings assembled\u201d concerns faith here, which is Nukva, for when the desire is revealed and the unification is crowned in ZON as one, the two worlds, ZON, connect together and are assembled together. ZA is to open the treasure and bestow, and the Nukva gathers and collects the abundance into her. And then, \u201cFor, lo, the kings assembled,\u201d meaning they are two worlds, the upper world, ZA, and the lower world, the Nukva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
28) \u201cPassed by together,\u201d since all the iniquities in the world do not pass away and are not pardoned until ZON connect together, as it is written, \u201cAnd passes by the transgression.\u201d Similarly, \u201cPassed by together\u201d means the iniquities have passed away. They were pardoned because everyone\u2019s face shines in the illumination of the coupling and all the iniquities are pardoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
29) In the correction of the offerings, when the offering is sacrificed and everyone receives this provision, each as he should, everything connects as one and all the faces shine, and there is one connection, which is a single coupling. And then, \u201cThe kings assembled,\u201d meaning they assembled together to atone for the iniquities and remove them. \u201cThe kings assembled\u201d are ZON, who were connected together. \u201cThey passed by together\u201d to atone for the iniquities, to illuminate every face, and so that everything will be one desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
30) \u201cAs they saw, so they were astounded.\u201d Did the kings see and were astounded? No, these are the litigants, whose joy is to execute the judgment that they were instructed to. And when both kings are assembled in one desire, then as it is written, \u201cThey saw\u201d that desire of the two worlds, ZON. \u201cThey were astounded, alarmed, and hurried,\u201d since all the litigants were silenced and were removed from the world, and they could not govern. Then their existence was cancelled and their governance revoked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
31) \u201cThen Judah approached him.\u201d What is the reason that Judah approached? It was because he was a guarantor, as it is written, \u201cFor your servant became surety for the lad.\u201d Judah and Joseph must come close together because Joseph is Tzadik, Yesod of ZA, and Judah is a king, Malchut, Nukva of ZA. This is why \u201cThen Judah approached him,\u201d due to the closeness, that they grew close together. This caused many benefits to the world; it caused peace to all the tribes. It caused peace among themselves, between Judah and Joseph; it caused the spirit of Jacob to be revived, as it is written, \u201cthe spirit of Jacob their father revived.\u201d Hence, the closeness of one to the other was needed on all sides, above and below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
