106) When the Temple was ruined and the sins caused Israel to be exiled from the land, the Creator departed high above and did not watch over the ruin of the Temple and His people, who was exiled. And at that time, the Shechina was exiled with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
107) When He came down, He observed His home, and behold it was ruined. He observed His people, and behold they were exiled. He asked about the mistress, the Shechina, and she was exiled. Then, \u201cAnd in that day did the Lord, the God of hosts, call to weeping, to lamentation, to baldness, and to wearing sackcloth.\u201d And it is written about the Shechina, \u201cLament like a virgin wearing sackcloth for the husband of her youth.\u201d It is written, \u201cFor he is gone.\u201d Her husband is gone because He parted from her and separation was made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
108) And even the whole of heaven and earth lamented, as it is written, \u201cI clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.\u201d All the high angels lamented for her, as it is written, \u201cBehold, their valiant ones cry in the streets; the messengers of peace weep bitterly.\u201d The sun and the moon lamented and their lights darkened, as it is written, \u201cThe sun shall be darkened when he rises,\u201d and all the upper ones and lower ones cried and mourned for her because the Sitra Achra governed her, meaning she ruled over the holy land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
109) \u201cAnd you, son of man, thus says the Lord God to the land of Israel, \u2018An end! The end is coming on the four corners of the land.\u2019\u201d \u201cThe end\u201d is the end of the right. The end of the left is as it is written, \u201cPuts an end to darkness, and to the farthest limit he searches out.\u201d This is \u201cThe end of all flesh.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
110) The end of the right is as it is written, \u201cAn end to the land of Israel.\u201d The end has come to the four directions of the earth is the end of the left. The end of the right is the end of the good inclination. This end of the left is the end of the evil inclination, and this is the meaning of \u201cWhen the sins cause and intensify, it was sentenced that the evil Malchut will be given governance, to rule and to destroy His House and His Temple.\u201d And it is written, \u201cThus says the Lord God, \u2018Evil after evil is coming,\u2019\u201d and it is all one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The left is the evil, where there are judgments and punishments. The end of the left is a second evil, the evil inclination, Satan, the angel of death. Those two evils became one because they united with one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
111) This is the reason why the upper and lower lamented for this end of the left being given governance. Hence, since the holy Malchut, the kingdom of heaven, was lowered and the evil Malchut prevailed, every man should mourn with the holy Malchut and be lowered along with her. For this reason, when the holy Malchut rises and the world is glad, he, too, will be glad with her, as it is written, \u201cRejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
112) It is written about Egypt, \u201cEgypt is a very fair heifer.\u201d Israel were under the rule of this heifer for REDU (Gematria, 210) years when they were in Egypt. And because afterwards Israel were destined to rule over it, it was not implied to them in the words, \u201cTake you wagons [\u201cwagons\u201d also means \u201cheifers\u201d in Hebrew] out of the land of Egypt for your little ones.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The shell of Egypt is extension of Hochma from above downwards from the left line, like the sin of the tree of knowledge. This is so because the vessels and sparks that Adam blemished with his sin with the tree of knowledge fell into the possession of the Egyptians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is written, \u201cTake wagons from the land of Egypt,\u201d meaning they will receive Merkavot [chariots\/structures] from the land of Egypt for extension of the Mochin. But can it be that the tribes and Jacob would use the wagons of the land of Egypt, who were Merkavot of impurity? However, the harsh judgments that rule during the illumination of the left are the ruin of the Temple, the exile of Israel, and the exile of the Shechina, as it is written, \u201cAnd in that day did the Lord, the God of hosts, call to weeping, to lamentation, to baldness,\u201d which are applied in every coupling. It is the same with the general couplings, which are exile and redemption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the governance of the left, the Sitra Achra was given power to rule over Israel, to destroy his house and his Temple. By that, the complete coupling for the time of redemption was prepared, the complete three corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is so because the particular couplings and the general couplings are the same in all their conducts. And every person should mourn with the holy Malchut and be lowered with her, since no one can receive from the light of perfection of the coupling of ZON if he is not included with the Nukva when the harsh judgments of the left awaken upon her, at which time he mourns with her and is lowered with her. By that, he, too, receives those three corrections that qualify him to be included in the illumination of the coupling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most important one among them is the third correction of leaving the GAR of the left and not drawing light of Hochma from above downwards, but from below upwards, regarded as only VAK. In return for this, when the holy Malchut rises and the world is glad, he will be glad with her, as well, and he will be able to be included and receive from the wholeness of the coupling, as it is written, \u201cRejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her.\u201d This means that anyone who is included with the Nukva when the judgments of the left line awaken upon her, and has mourned for her and been lowered down with her, will rejoice with her when she is in the complete coupling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, if he did not mourn for her because he was not included in her during the awakening of the harsh judgments, he will not be able to rejoice with her and receive from the illumination of her complete coupling. This is because he is not guaranteed to be kept from drawing the GAR of the left, when the domination of the Sitra Achra returns and intensifies over the holiness. Hence, \u201cRejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her,\u201d since one who mourns for her is certain to draw the measure of VAK of GAR as it should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This opens the understanding of the words, \u201cNow you are ordered, \u2018Do this: take wagons from the land of Egypt.\u2019\u201d It is written about Egypt, \u201cEgypt is a very fair heifer,\u201d since Egypt is the Hochma of shell, and there are four degrees HB TM in it, which are called \u201cox,\u201d \u201ccow,\u201d \u201ccalf\u201d, and \u201cheifer.\u201d But only their VAK were separated from it to holiness, which is from below upwards, the light of Malchut, called \u201cheifer.\u201d It is written, \u201cRejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her.\u201d This is why the writing does not speak of a fair ox or cow, but only of a fair heifer, since only the discernment of heifer was sorted out from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Israel were under the rule of this heifer for REDU (210) years. Israel were under the shell of Egypt for several times and several years only to sort out this heifer, which is VAK of the left. This is so because it is forbidden to take from Egypt more than this measure, which is called \u201cheifer.\u201d Afterwards, Israel are destined to rule over her during the illumination of the coupling. Israel are destined to rule over this heifer, meaning receive VAK of Hochma. This is why it was hinted to them in the words of Pharaoh, \u201cTake wagons [also heifers] from the land of Egypt,\u201d since they were permitted to take this measure from Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
113) Joseph hinted to Jacob about the beheaded heifer, since when they were engaged in that chapter about the beheaded heifer, he parted from him. The beheaded heifer comes because he was found slain, as it is written, \u201cand it was not known who struck him.\u201d To prevent evil spirits from dominating the land, for they are unwanted, this heifer is given for correction, so that they will not recognize it and will not govern the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
114) All people pass away through the angel of death, except one who was slain by people first, before the time of the angel of death to govern him and receive permission to take his soul has come. This is so because he does not rule over a person before he receives permission from above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
115) And for this reason, the angel of death governs him by judgment, as it was written, \u201cIt was not known who struck him.\u201d And he has judgment, too, for it is not known who struck him, to slander against this place, the Nukva. This is why the elders of that city took the heifer of cattle, to remove the judgment from that place and to be corrected so that the slanderer would not govern over him and he would be saved from him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two kinds of judgment are included in the words, \u201cIt is not known who struck him.\u201d 1) The force of the restriction rose to Malchut and the lights of GAR, which are the light of life, parted from the Nukva. 2) Even if she is corrected and the GAR return to the Nukva, there is still strength for the Sitra Achra to slander against her and to block her lights by his gripping to those GAR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is why the angel of death can govern from the judgment of the Nukva because the lights of GAR departed her, which is considered the first judgement. And he, too, has judgement, that \u201cIt is not known who struck him,\u201d to slander against this place, the Nukva, the second judgement, where if she were corrected and the GAR would return to her, he would be able to block her lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hence, there are two corrections that she needs: 1) To remove the judgment of the restriction from her and correct her so that the GAR returns to her. This is a correction for the first judgement, which was done by bringing the heifer. 2) To correct her so that the slanderer will not govern her, meaning to reduce her from GAR of GAR. By that, the clinging of the Sitra Achra is revoked, blocking her lights. This is the correction of the second judgement, done by beheading the heifer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
116) When Joseph parted from his father, he was sent without company and without food, and what happened, happened. And when Jacob said, \u201cJoseph was undoubtedly devoured,\u201d he said, \u201c\u2018I will go down to Sheol [the underworld] to my son,\u2019 for I caused him to be killed by sending him without accompaniment. I cannot say, \u2018Our hands have not shed this blood,\u2019 as with the beheaded heifer, meaning we did not send him off without company. Moreover, I knew that his brothers hated him, but I sent him to them.\u201d And Joseph hinted all that to him in the sending of the wagons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
117) He sent these heifers by Pharaoh\u2019s words, as it is written, \u201cAnd Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh.\u201d So why is it said that Joseph hinted to him by sending the wagons? It is because it is written, \u201cNow you are ordered.\u201d There was no need to say, \u201cNow you are ordered,\u201d since it is already written, \u201cAnd Pharaoh said unto Joseph, \u2018Say unto your brothers.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, \u201cNow you are ordered\u201d that he says here is accurate. This is why it writes \u201cOrdered\u201d with the letter Hey at the end [in Hebrew], to indicate that it is precise. This comes to teach us that Joseph demanded of him to give him wagons. This is why, \u201cAnd Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh,\u201d since Joseph was the giver and he asked of Pharaoh. But why did he demand wagons from Pharaoh? It is because he wished to hint to his father about the beheaded heifer. And this is why Jacob did not believe it until he saw the wagons and understood the hint that he hinted him, as it is written, \u201cAnd when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
118) In the beginning, it is written, \u201cThe spirit of Jacob … revived,\u201d and afterwards, \u201cAnd Israel said, \u2018It is enough; Joseph my son is still alive.\u2019\u201d Why does he begin with Jacob and ends with Israel? In the beginning, the Torah calls him Jacob, for the participation of the Shechina in the ban that the tribes executed to not disclose when Joseph was sold. For this reason, the Shechina parted from Jacob all that time. But now that the Shechina has returned to him, it is written, \u201cThe spirit of Jacob their father revived,\u201d for this is the Shechina, called \u201cthe spirit of Jacob.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And after the Shechina was in him, the degree above went from the degree of Jacob to the degree of Israel, from Mochin of VAK, called \u201cJacob,\u201d to Mochin of GAR, called \u201cIsrael.\u201d From this we learn that the degree above does not awaken above before there is awakening below. This is because here it writes, \u201cAnd the spirit of Jacob … revived\u201d first, meaning an awakening from below, and afterwards it is written, \u201cAnd Israel said,\u201d an awakening above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
119) \u201cAnd God spoke unto Israel in the visions of the night.\u201d It writes \u201cvision\u201d without Vav [in Hebrew], in singular form, implying to the degree of the Nukva, who is called \u201ca mirror\u201d and is called \u201cnight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.\u201d It is written in the beginning in order to evoke the left, which is called \u201cIsaac,\u201d with love toward the Nukva, the love of lovers, which is extended from the left. And then, \u201cAnd God spoke unto Israel in the visions of the night,\u201d meaning He appeared over him at that degree of Nukva, which is called \u201cvisions of the night.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
120) \u201cAnd He said, \u2018I am God, the God of your father.\u201d What is the reason that He mentioned His name to him? It is because this is the conduct of the holy side above. The side of impurity does not mention the name of the Creator, and the whole of the side of holiness is mentioned by its name. Also, it is written, \u201cI will go down to Egypt with you,\u201d meaning that the Shechina went down to exile with him, and wherever Israel exiled, the Shechina exiled with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
121) How many wagons were there? There were six wagons, as it is written, \u201cSix covered wagons.\u201d There were sixty, and it is all one, since six implies the six Sefirot HGT NHY, and sixty implies that each consisted of ten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the beginning, it is written, \u201cThe wagons which Joseph had sent.\u201d And in the end, \u201cWhich Pharaoh had sent.\u201d The wagons that Joseph sent were properly calculated, and those that Pharaoh sent were too numerous, they were not calculated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The wagons are the shape of the Mochin of illumination of Hochma. Calculation is Malchut, which is called \u201ccalculation.\u201d All the wagons that Joseph sent were calculated, since they were only in the measure of the light of Malchut, VAK of GAR, for only this measure, a wagon, is permitted to take from Egypt, and not more. But those that Pharaoh sent were not calculated. Rather, they were more than the measure of a wagon, from the discernment of ox, cow, and calf. This was a gift from Pharaoh, which was forbidden for Joseph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
122) Both came to Jacob\u2014from the wagon that Joseph had sent, and from the discernment of more than a wagon, which Pharaoh had sent. This is why it is written, \u201cWhich Joseph had sent,\u201d and it is written, \u201cWhich Pharaoh had sent.\u201d And when Israel came out of exile, it is written, \u201cAnd they shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering unto the Lord,\u201d since then they will bring all the nations an offering to the Lord like Pharaoh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
