59) The names are called \u201chand,\u201d meaning the hand of the Lord, \u201cthe great hand,\u201d the mighty hand,\u201d and they are the source of light for everything. The name \u201chand,\u201d is mentioned only in the name HaVaYaH, which is mercy, as it is written, \u201cThe Lord’s hand is not shortened.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
60) \u201cThe hand upon the throne of the Lord: The Lord will have war with Amalek.\u201d \u201cThe hand upon the throne\u201d is because of HaVaYaH, mercy, since mercy controls the judgement. The text wishes to say, \u201cMay it be that it will be forever, instead of Gevura, the great hand that was in Egypt, the mercy. Were it not for the great hand, the war would have been in judgment without mercy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
61) And when the Messiah comes, he will come by the renewal of the great hand and will wage war against Amalek, and the mercy will overcome the judgement, as during the exodus from Egypt. It is written, \u201cBy strength of hand the Lord brought you out from Egypt.\u201d When the name \u201chand\u201d comes, only \u201cBy strength of hand, and not \u201cthe hand of the Lord,\u201d and not \u201cthe great hand,\u201d it is in judgement, meaning that He will wage war against Amalek in judgment and the Messiah will come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He will wage two wars against Amalek: by overcoming of the mercy over the judgement, and by judgment alone, and then redemption will come. And the evidence is as it is written, \u201cThen shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when He fought on the day of battle.\u201d The first half of the verse is with the aid of mercy, as it is written, \u201cThen shall the Lord go forth, and fight,\u201d meaning that HaVaYaH is mercy. The latter half is in judgement, without mercy, as it is written, \u201cAs when He fought on the day of battle,\u201d and HaVaYaH is not mentioned in it. Thus, there will be two kinds of wars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
62) Come and see how great is the strength of the great hand, the right hand, that it came to this upper hand, the left hand, called \u201cthe mighty hand,\u201d as well as \u201cupper one,\u201d since it shines only from below upwards. It is with this hand that they came out of Egypt, as it is written, \u201cBy strength of hand the Lord brought you out from Egypt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They join together because their number is equal: Yod counts as Yod, Dalet as Dalet; they are equal to each other. He wishes to say that the name, \u201cgreat hand,\u201d and the name \u201cupper hand,\u201d which come out together, are equal in their letters and their number is as their number, meaning that the unification received two Yod-Dalet [hand], two together, meaning that the right and left conjoined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
63) How was their joining not prevented? After all, they are not equal since one is called \u201cgreat\u201d and one is called \u201cmighty.\u201d The joining of those two is explained because they are equal in their letters Yod-Dalet, even though the two are not completely clarified in their eyes. Since they are equal in the name \u201chand,\u201d it is possible that they will conjoin, even though one is called \u201cgreat\u201d and the other is called \u201cmighty.\u201d The heaven and earth and all that is in them were created out of those two hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After The<\/em> Zohar<\/em> explains the great importance of the unification of the two hands, the great hand and the mighty hand, a unification from which the whole of heaven and earth were created. And although they are remote from one another, since the great hand is right and the mighty hand is left, because both are called \u201chand,\u201d the word \u201chand\u201d contains a common interest, hence they unite. Now The<\/em> Zohar<\/em> comes to explain how they unite in the word \u201chand\u201d [Yod-Dalet] by the ten Sefirot in each of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The GAR of each degree is considered the Sefira of Keter in her, with the simple letters of the name of the degree. The fillings of the simple letters are the Hochma in her, and the fillings of the fillings are Bina in her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The name Yad [hand, consists of Yod-Dalet]: the simple letters Yod, Dalet are the Sefira of Keter in her. In the letters of the filling of Yod and Dalet\u2014Yod [Yod-Vav-Dalet] and Dalet [Dalet-Lamed-Tav] are the Sefira of Hochma in her. The letters of filling within filling, meaning the fillings of the letters Yod-Vav-Dalet, and Dalet-Lamed-Tav are Yod [Yod-Vav-Dalet], Vav [Vav-Vav], Dalet [Dalet-Lamed-Tav], and Dalet [Dalet-Lamed-Tav], Lamed [Lamed-Mem-Dalet], Tav [Tav-Vav], and they are the Sefira Bina in her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Accordingly, The<\/em> Zohar<\/em> depicts three circles one inside the other. The simple letters Yod-Dalet from the great hand are dedicated to the GAR in the upper one, with the simple letters Yod-Dalet from \u201cthe mighty hand.\u201d Yod counts as Yod, Dalet as Dalet, meaning Keter of the great hand with the Keter of the mighty hand, since the simple letters of the name imply to Keter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the second circle inside the upper one, the letters of the filling of Yod-Dalet from the great hand unite\u2014Yod-Vav-Dalet-Dalet-Lamed-Tav\u2014with the letters of the filling of Yod-Dalet from the mighty hand\u2014Yod-Vav-Dalet-Dalet-Lamed-Tav. On the right of the circle, Yod to Yod, Vav to Vav, Dalet to Dalet. The Yod of the great hand connects with the Yod of the mighty hand, and also the Vav to Vav. Also, the Dalet of the great hand, to the Dalet of the mighty hand, and those are written to the right of the circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the left of the circle, the fillings of Dalet\u2014Dalet-Lamed-Tav. Dalet to Dalet, Lamed to Lamed, Tav to Tav. The Dalet of the great hand joins the Dalet of the mighty hand, and the Lamed of the great hand joins the Lamed of the mighty hand. Also, the Tav of the great hand joins the Tav of the mighty hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The reason why the fillings of the Yod are written to the right of the circle while the fillings of the Dalet are written to the left of the circle is that the Yod itself implies to Hochma, which is right, and the Dalet itself implies to Bina, which is to the left of Hochma, although for the most part, the second circle is Hochma, as it is a filling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the third circle, within the second one, the filling of the filling of the name \u201chand\u201d from the great hand unite with the letters of the filling of the filling from the name hand from the mighty hand, which is the Sefira of Bina in her. They are Yod-Vav-Dalet, Vav-Vav, Dalet-Lamed-Tav, and Dalet-Lamed-Tav, Lamed-Mem-Dalet, Tav-Vav of the great hand, with Yod-Vav-Dalet, Vav-Vav, Dalet-Lamed-Tav, Lamed-Mem-Dalet, Tav-Vav of the mighty hand. On the right of the circle, Dalet to Dalet, Lamed to Lamed, Tav to Tav. On its left, Lamed to Lamed, Mem to Mem, Dalet to Dalet, Tav to Tav, Vav to Vav.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, The<\/em> Zohar<\/em> does not count the filling of the filling of the Yod, here, but only of the Dalet. The reason is that this circle is the Sefira Bina, and the Yod in itself is Hochma, it is therefore not calculated in this circle, but only the filling of the filling of the Dalet, which in itself is the Sefira Bina. The Dalet from the filling of the filling of the great hand connects with the Dalet of the filling of the filling of the mighty hand, and also, Lamed to Lamed and Tav to Tav.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They are to the right of the circle because they are the primary letters of the filling of the filling. To the left of the circle, the Lamed of the filling of the filling from the great hand joins the Lamed of the filling of the filling from the mighty hand, and the same for Mem to Mem and for Dalet to Dalet. And also, Tav to Tav, and Vav to Vav.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the center of these circles, the Vav is written on top and it implies to their HGT, and bellow it, Yod-Hey, Yod-Hey that imply to the NH in them. Below those is Shadai [Shin-Dalet-Yod], which implies to their Yesod, and below that is a Merkava [chariot\/assembly], whose father is Israel, who implies to their Sefira of Malchut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first Sefira, the top circle, is the upper Keter, since the simple letters are in it, Keter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The second circle is as it is written, \u201cThe eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch upon the evil and the good,\u201d meaning the Sefira of Hochma, since eyes are Hochma. This is why there are letters of the filling of Hochma in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The third circle is the Sefira of Bina, since the letters of the filling of the filling are in it, which help and bestow upon the Vav of the name HaVaYaH, ZA, who performed many miracles in the land of Egypt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 59) The names are called \u201chand,\u201d meaning the hand of the Lord, \u201cthe great hand,\u201d the mighty hand,\u201d and they […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":9956,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"topic":[28],"class_list":["post-9964","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-zohar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
