This is an important prophecy, which is like no other prophecy. It came to none of the sons of the prophets, but only to him and to Moses. With Moses, it is written, \u201cFor man shall not see Me and live,\u201d and with Jacob, it is written, \u201cJacob lived.\u201d \u201cLived\u201d means a prophecy that comes down from the illuminating mirror, Tifferet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is so because illumination of Hochma is life, as it is written, \u201cWisdom preserves the life of him that has it,\u201d and this is the prophecy of \u201cLived.\u201d And there is a big difference between the prophecies of Jacob and Moses and those of the rest of the prophets. This is so because the rest of the prophets received their prophecies from NH of ZA, which is from the Tabur down, where it is the Nukva, which is regarded as not illuminating. For this reason, they prophesied with the word Koh [thus], which is the name of the Nukva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Jacob and Moses received from Tifferet, which is called \u201cilluminating mirror,\u201d from Tabur of ZA and above, although in the form of posterior that is there. This is why it was said to Moses, \u201cYou shall see My back; but My face shall not be seen.\u201d And also, you cannot see My face, \u201cFor man shall not see Me and live.\u201d But when he received in the form of posterior, he lived. Also, it was said, \u201cLived,\u201d in regards to Jacob only in Egypt, which is discerned as posterior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jacob achieved the prophecy of \u201cLived,\u201d only in Egypt, since he received the prophecy from Tabur of ZA and above, where it is written, \u201cYou shall see My back; but My face shall not be seen.\u201d Hence, the prophecy came to him only in Egypt, which is a posterior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it is said that it is an important prophecy, that no other prophecies like it were made, and it did not come to anyone from among the sons of the prophets, except to him and to Moses. This is so because all the prophets receive from Chazeh of ZA and below, from NH, while concerning Moses, it is written, \u201cFor man shall not see Me and live,\u201d meaning that he did not receive from the anterior but from the posterior, meaning by extension of Hochma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, it is written about Jacob, \u201cJacob lived,\u201d which is extension of Hochma in Egypt in the form of posterior, as it is written, \u201cLived.\u201d It is a prophecy that comes down from the illuminating mirror from Tabur of ZA and above, from Tifferet, which is called \u201cthe illuminating mirror.\u201d However, there is a difference between Jacob and Moses, too, since Jacob is from Tifferet and Moses is from the interior of Tifferet\u2014the Daat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3) Jacob wished to prophecy about the exiles that would happen to his sons in the land of Canaan and in any land that they lived in, which are from the land of Egypt, meaning that all the exiles are included in the land of Egypt. His heart was broken, as it is written, \u201cThat there was Shever [\u201cfood,\u201d as well as \u201cshattering\u201d] in Egypt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4) This is why it came to Jacob living in Egypt. And he was not happy because in that land was the connection of the peoples, meaning that all the filth of the nations was incorporated there, as well as the sapphires of the throne, which are sparks of Hochma that are captive among them, and they are called \u201csapphires.\u201d It is written about it, \u201cAnd above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne.\u201d And no man came to sort them, neither from the upper ones nor from the lower ones. Rather, \u201calive\u201d [Hey-Yod], as it is written, \u201cFor man shall not see Me and live.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the sin of Adam haRishon, the vessels and sparks of the degree of Hochma fell into the shell of Egypt. This is why it was said that he was not happy because in that land was the connection of the nations, since the land of Egypt is a hard shell, since the filth of all the nations is attached to her. For this reason, there was no joy in them. However, the sapphires of the throne, which are the vessels and sparks of the degree of Hochma, feel there, too, and it is known that the degree of Hochma cannot shine unless by mingling with light of Hassadim. At that time, the light of Hochma is called light of Haya, as it is written, \u201cWisdom preserves the life of him that has it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is said, \u201cAnd no man came to sort them, neither from the upper ones nor from the lower ones. Rather, \u2018alive.\u2019\u201d This means that no one can be rewarded with Hochma, except those who receive with integration of Hassadim, and then the receiver is called \u201calive,\u201d the degree of Yesod of Gadlut, which is called \u201cJoseph.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is written, \u201cAnd Joseph shall put his hand upon your eyes,\u201d on the light of the eyes, the light of Haya. This is so because the light of Haya does not shine in a Partzuf before there is the discernment of Joseph there, Yesod of vessels, due to the inverse relation. Hence, Yesod is called \u201cThe one who lives forever,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it is written, \u201cFor man shall not see Me and live,\u201d since in the anterior, there is no animate degree. This is why it is written, \u201cFor man shall not see Me,\u201d since seeing is Hochma, which shines only on the degree of light of Haya, meaning in its incorporation with Hassadim, while the anterior is extended from AA, which is Hochma without Hassadim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5) There are several hidden meanings to this verse, and we, the friends, wonder about them. About \u201cLived,\u201d in which Jacob is mentioned, it should have said, \u201cIsrael,\u201d \u201cIsrael lived.\u201d This is so because the name Jacob points to Katnut, and the name Israel indicates that he already has Mochin of Gadlut. The words, \u201cLived\u201d imply to the light of Haya, Mochin of Gadlut, so it should have written, \u201cIsrael lived.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do we know that Israel indicates Mochin of Gadlut? Because it is written, \u201cIsrael was holy to the Lord,\u201d and holy implies Gadlut. It is also written, \u201cMy son, My firstborn, Israel.\u201d \u201cFirstborn\u201d implies Gadlut; thus, the name Israel is mentioned in Gadlut, and not Jacob, which is the name of Katnut, as it is written, \u201cWho would raise Jacob, for he is small?\u201d But it is written, \u201cAnd he sold his birthright unto Jacob,\u201d so birthright, which is Gadlut, is mentioned in regards to the name, Jacob, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6) While Israel were men of truth and righteous and performing good deeds, Israel were not afraid, only Jacob. He was afraid, as it is written, \u201cFor I fear him.\u201d This is so because Israel is the name of Gadlut, and there is no fear in him, since due to the good deeds that Israel were doing\u2014they did a lot of Hesed [mercy\/grace] to each other\u2014there was no fear in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7) When they sinned and were exiled for their iniquities and bad deeds, they could not tolerate, for fear that they would forever stay in exile for their iniquities. This is the reason why the quality of judgment and the quality of mercy came together, for it is the indication of the name, \u201cIsrael,\u201d and it placed them in the land of their exile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that the Shechina was exiled with them, and it is to that that the name \u201cIsrael\u201d points. This is why they were certain that they would be redeemed along with the Shechina, and by that, they tolerated the exile and were not afraid. This is the reason why the name Israel is in exile, as it is written, \u201cAnd Israel was exiled from over its land.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8) \u201cAnd he sold his birthright to Jacob.\u201d It should have said, \u201cTo Israel,\u201d since the birthright is Mochin of Gadlut. But the man who was observing knew him\u2014that Jacob who was connected to \u201cLived\u201d was holiness, like the name Israel. In other words, the rule is that Jacob is the name of Katnut, but it is not necessarily in a place where the Gadlut that he obtained is explicit. This is why it is written here, \u201cJacob lived,\u201d and it should not say, \u201cIsrael.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And also, \u201cAnd he sold his birthright unto Jacob\u201d should not say \u201cIsrael,\u201d since that Jacob, who is connected with the Gadlut, is necessarily holy, as is Israel. It is written about it, \u201cJacob, whom the Creator chose to be a sapphire in the throne,\u201d and it is not written, \u201cIsrael,\u201d since the Gadlut is explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9) It is written, \u201cAnd the depressed and him who is of low of spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and revive the heart of the depressed.\u201d \u201cThe heart of the depressed\u201d is Jacob, since below the degree, from the posterior the prophecies and blessings came down upon him in Egypt, and Egypt is considered posterior. This is why his heart was depressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10) Jacob, who was in Egypt, his prophecy was not transcendent because the land was hated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>11) He was not rewarded with blessing any of his sons, and he could bless only in Egypt, when he blessed each of them according to a secret. And the secret is as it is written, \u201cAnd Jacob saw that there was Shever [food for sale\/shattering] in Egypt, and &#8230; said to his sons, \u2018Why do you fear?\u2019\u201d Indeed, the prophecy was given only to the heartbroken, as it is written, \u201cGo down there and break.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJacob arrived at the prophecy of \u2018Lived,\u2019 only in Egypt,\u201d because it is written, \u201cBut My face shall not be seen.\u201d This is why he did not have the Ruach to bless his son but only in Egypt, which is considered posterior. For this reason, Jacob had the heart of the depressed. This is why he brings evidence from the writing, \u201cAnd Jacob saw that there was Shever in Egypt, which implies to the breaking of the heart that he had in Egypt. And he immediately awakened to send his sons there, since he knew that this prophecy was given only to the brokenhearted. And so he says, \u201cGo down there and break,\u201d which implies to the breaking of the heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>12) Under the holy throne there is the sapphire Jacob, and sapphire is Jacob\u2019s quality of judgment. The writing comes and says, \u201cYour name shall no longer be Jacob, but Israel; for you have striven with God and with men and have prevailed.\u201d Jacob saw the quality of judgment for his discernment, as it is written, \u201cAnd the sun rose upon him as he passed over Peniel.\u201d It is also written, \u201cWoe unto us for the day has set.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The holy throne, Bina, stands on four legs\u2014three lines and the Nukva, which receives the three lines. The screen of phase one on which the middle line comes out, which is called Jacob, is called \u201csapphire.\u201d This is why it is said that Jacob is sapphire, and he is under the throne, and this is his quality of judgment. It is so because this screen diminishes him into VAK, and he brings evidence to that from the verse, \u201cAnd the sun rose upon him as he passed over Peniel, and he was limping on his thigh,\u201d which is a light that brings healing, to heal him from the twilight on the left. And since this light comes out only on screen of phase one, the screen of the dot of Hirik, he became limping on his thigh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The text seems to mean that Jacob saw the quality of judgment for his discernment, which is the screen of phase one, to heal him from the twilight on the left. And it is written, \u201cWoe unto us for the day has set.\u201d This is so because through the integration of the left in Jacob, the day has set, meaning that the lights departed. This is why he needed the quality of judgment, which is the screen of phase one, to draw the light of the sun again, although by that he became limping on his thigh. This is why the text says, \u201cYour name shall no longer be Jacob,\u201d where there is the quality of judgment, \u201cBut Israel,\u201d where there is the quality of mercy, too, meaning GAR from upper AVI, pure air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>13) When they were exiled from Jerusalem and the continual was removed, and the enemy defiled the palace, at that time, Malchut\u2014Nukva of ZA\u2014could not tolerate the children of Israel for their iniquities. But the degree of the name \u201cIsrael\u201d did tolerate them because it is on two sides, mercy and judgement. And the judgment is the reason for the disclosure of the mercy; hence, the judgement, too, is regarded as mercy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>14) When the verse \u201cYour name shall no longer be Jacob, but Israel,\u201d becomes understood, we find that Israel Jacob are atop one another, where Israel is more important than Jacob; this is why the angel blessed him with the name, \u201cIsrael.\u201d Because of them, Moses\u2019 scepter was engraved with His holy name on both its sides\u2014one is mercy in judgement, the degree of Israel, and one is judgment in judgement, the degree of Jacob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>15) It is as was written, \u201cNone has seen iniquity in Jacob, nor seen toil in Israel.\u201d This means that he did not see iniquity in Jacob, but did see toil. But in Israel, he did not even see toil because the judgment is regarded as mercy in him, as well. And since in exile we are pressed amongst the enemies, and the Shechina has departed from the King, ZA, and moved far from him, this became the reason that in the end, He will place the Shechina among us and redeem us, since the pressure brings us to repentance, and repentance\u2014to redemption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the judgment at the degree of Israel becomes mercy, as well. This is why it is written that he did not see toil in Israel, but it is all mercy. However, at the degree of Jacob, it is not so, hence there is toil in him. This is the reason why the angel blessed him, \u201cYour name shall no longer be Jacob, but Israel,\u201d who has judgement, as well as mercy, exile, as well as redemption, and it is all mercy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why it was written, \u201cThus says the Lord, King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts.\u201d \u201cLived,\u201d alive, since \u201cKing\u201d means the judgment in the name \u201cIsrael.\u201d \u201cHis Redeemer\u201d is the mercy in the name \u201cIsrael,\u201d and both are included in the name \u201cHosts,\u201d which is NH\u2014Netzah is the mercy in it and Hod is the judgment in it. And they are called, \u201cLived,\u201d alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Netzah, the right leg, shines only from below upwards. This is why it is called \u201cLived,\u201d in past tense. The Hod is the left leg, and shines from above downwards, too, which is why it is called \u201calive,\u201d in present tense. All of that is in the upper degree, Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But below the degree of Israel, it is written, \u201cThus says the Lord, \u2018The heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool.\u2019\u201d This is so because above, on the degree of Israel, both legs are alive\u2014the right leg is Netzah, \u201cLived,\u201d and the left leg is Hod, \u201calive.\u201d But here they are called \u201cHadom Raglai [My footstool],\u201d from the word Demama [stillness], the opposite of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>16) At the higher degree, Israel, both legs, NH, are alive\u2014the Netzah is \u201cLived,\u201d and Hod is \u201calive,\u201d and both are included in the word \u201cLived.\u201d The big Yod, the simple one, has a small Yod in its filling, Vav-Dalet, which are ten in Gematria. The Het has Tav in its filling. There are Vav-Yod in the filling of the Vav, and Vav-Dalet in the filling of the Yod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two phases in the letters: simple and filled. For example, when pronouncing Aleph, the letters Lamed-Peh are heard with it, meaning Aleph-Lamed-Peh. And when pronouncing Bet, the letters Yod-Tav are heard with it, meaning Bet-Yod-Tav. The letters, Aleph and Bet, are called \u201csimple,\u201d and the letters Lamed-Peh, Yod-Tav, which are sounded with them, are the fillings of the simple ones. Accordingly, when the four letters VaYeChI [Vav-Yod-Het-Yod, \u201cand lived\u201d] are filled, they are Vav-Yod-Vav, Yod-Vav-Dalet, Het-Tav, and Yod-Vav-Dalet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, two divisions are discerned in them: 1) The four simple letters, VaYeChI; 2) The seven letters of the fillings, Yod-Vav, Vav-Dalet, Tav, Vav-Dalet, which are Galut [exile] in Gematria (433), with three inclusive letters, corresponding to the letters Vav-Yod-Het (436).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, they are two legs, NH, where the first division, VaYeChI, is Netzah, and the second division, which is exile in Gematria, is Hod. And both are \u201calive,\u201d meaning included in the word, VaYeChI, since because the exile is the reason for the redemption and revival, the exile, too, is regarded as revival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>17) Those two divisions are included in the gem, sapphire, which is under the throne in the land of Egypt. It is written, \u201cAnd the Lord will smite Egypt.\u201d This is the second division, the letters of the filling, which imply to the exile. And the words, \u201cYour dew is as the dew of light,\u201d it means dew of revival, the first division, the letters of the simple, which imply revival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>18) For this reason, the second division\u2014which implies to the exile\u2014conjoins with the first division\u2014which implies to revival and redemption. It is written, \u201cHouse of Jacob, go and let us walk by the light of the Lord.\u201d This means that the letters that imply to the exile to which they were sentenced for their iniquities, in a true judgment, have correction in the Torah, and by keeping it you will come out of the sludge that is the exile, and you will walk by the light of the Creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why it is written, \u201cHouse of Jacob, go,\u201d in the exile, and by growing stronger in the Torah there Torah, you will be rewarded, as it is written, \u201cAnd let us walk by the light of the Lord,\u201d which is the revival and the redemption. It follows that the exile is the reason for the redemption. Thus, the two divisions come as one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>19) The letters Aleph, Reish-Tzadi are in a saddened land that comes into exile in the division in the book of Torah, meaning in the 400 years in the sentencing between the pieces. And in the Aretz [land], they are divided into the letters A [Aleph]-Retz. In the division of the book of Torah, the Reish and Tzadi connect in the exile, meaning that the exile in Egypt was Reish-Tzadi (290) [in Gematria] years. And the filling Lamed-Peh of the letter Aleph in Aretz is 110 in Gematria, and 110 plus 290 are 400 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is the exile in Egypt? After all, Abraham was told that his children would be in exile for 400 years, but if you count them, they were only 290 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Zohar<\/em>&nbsp;calculates the beginning of the days of exile in actual fact as the time of the selling of Joseph to the Egyptians, when he was seventeen. It took thirteen years until he became a king because when he stood before Pharaoh he was thirty years old. By the time Jacob and his sons came to Egypt, Joseph was already thirty-nine years old, since when Jacob came to Egypt, the seven plentiful years had passed, plus two years of famine. And Joseph lived seventy-one more years after Jacob had arrived in Egypt, since Joseph lived 110 years and the enslavement did not begin as long as Joseph was alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kehat was among those who descended to Egypt, and he lived for 133 years. Amram, his son, lived 137 years. And Moses\u2019 age when they were redeemed was eighty. If we say that Amram was born at the end of Kehat\u2019s days, and that Moses was born at the end of Amram\u2019s days, then together, they are 350 years. Thirteen years had passed from the selling of Joseph until he became king, and this falls into the calculation of the exile, thus they are 363 years. Subtract seventy-one years that he ruled after Jacob\u2019s arrival in Egypt, for during his reign they were not enslaved, and it is 292 years. But&nbsp;<em>The<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Zohar<\/em>&nbsp;calculates only 290 years because it considers two years as overlapping, since Amram was not born precisely at the end of the days of Kehat or Moses was not born precisely at the end of the days of Amram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>20) It is written, \u201cAnd Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old. And it is written, \u201cThe young woman shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanu El.\u201d In this verse, conception and delivery have been filled into exiles and much troubles and bad times, as it is written, \u201cFor before the boy will know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land\u2026 will be forsaken. \u2026 The Lord shall bring upon you &#8230; days that have not come.\u201d And although the Creator will be with us during those years\u2014as indicated by the name of the boy, Immanu El [Hebrew: God is with us], the name of the Shechina\u2014the Shechina will have been shaken and become removed from her husband, ZA, and she is with us in exile. And although the Shechina is with us, she is afflicted in exile and without a coupling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is clarified from the text that there is conception that precedes the birth of the exile. And the 110 years of age are the additional carving, considered the conception of the existence of the exile. And the writing will wish to say that 110 years of the exile in Egypt had already passed in the form of conception, which, together with the 290 of being in actual exile, they are 400 years that the Creator told Abraham in the covenant between the pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, Jacob\u2019s exile was counted only since the death of Joseph, and these 110 years of the conception of the exile imply the filling of Lamed-Peh of the Aleph in Eretz, which is 110 in Gematria. And the 290 of being in actual exile imply the Reish-Tzadik in Eretz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All this is as it is written, \u201cFrom the time that the continual is removed and the abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days.\u201d The text says 1,000 [in Hebrew, Eleph] over 290, as it is explained that the exile is divided into conception and actual exile. Aleph is the conception, and in Gematria, its filling of Lamed-Peh is 110, and the 290 are the actual exile, and they are the letters of Eretz, meaning Aleph-Reish-Tzadi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>21) \u201cSo the length of Jacob&#8217;s life was one hundred and forty-seven years.\u201d Here\u2014in the 147 years of Jacob\u2019s life\u2014lies the number of corrections in the exile that the exiled children will have in the quality of judgment in three exiles. The first correction is with Egypt, which corresponds to seven years. It is written about it, \u201cI adjure you\u2026 that you do not arouse or awaken my love until it pleases.\u201d Here, too, the number seven in Jacob\u2019s years is an oath, so as not to awaken the love\u2014redemption\u2014until it pleases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>22) From this we understand the meaning of the number seven, as it is written, \u201cFrom afar the Lord appeared unto me; \u2018I have loved you with an everlasting love.\u2019\u201d \u201cFrom afar\u201d means in exile. This was because of the great love that appears only through exile. Exile is the correction; when the children of Israel are liberated from the exile, the Creator\u2019s love for us will be revealed. In the number seven in Jacob\u2019s life, the text wishes to say that the holy sons who were exiled for their transgressions will be in judgment for many years, until they are \u201cSeven times according to your sins.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also written, \u201cAnyone who kills Cain is avenged sevenfold,\u201d for this number corrects the corruptions that they did and reveals the light of redemption. This is in the first exile, in Egypt, the smallest of the three exiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>23) The second exile is the exile in Babel, which corresponds to forty years in Jacob\u2019s life. In relation to Egypt\u2019s seven, they are bigger, since they came to the exile in Egypt as lay people and their sorrow was not great. But to the exile in Babylon, they came like captive royalty, for they had already had the Torah, the land, and the Temple. Hence, their affliction was great, and it is considered forty years compared to Egypt\u2019s seven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>24) The third exile is the long exile that we are in, which corresponds to 100 years
