The upper Jacob, ZA, said to Jacob below, \u201cBina gave me a blessing: she wishes to multiply you and to give the land to your children.\u201d Luz is the upper Jerusalem, and she is Bina, the Creator. He gave a blessing, and this blessing will be through Him in the holy land. But in another land, the blessing will not be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>65) \u201cHe who blesses his friend with a loud voice early in the morning, It will be counted a curse to him.\u201d The Creator called upon Israel, \u201cBrothers and friends.\u201d \u201cHe who blesses his friend\u201d means that the Creator is blessing Israel. The blessing that He gave is that this people will be pure under His hands and He will keep them. Because of this blessing, the Creator brings upon Israel reasons that seem like punishments. This is the reason why the verse concludes, \u201cIt will be counted a curse to him,\u201d since they do not understand that it is for their best, so that the blessing is kept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>66) Happy is the pure people that He keeps, who are called \u201csons.\u201d They are favored more than the upper ones, as it is written, \u201cYou are the children of the Lord,\u201d and it is all because the name Shadai was complemented in their seal, when they are circumcised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>67) The name of the Creator, Shin, is in the face of a man. But the Yod is missing from him, and he is incomplete. Abraham came and was fond of the Creator. The Creator told him, \u201cThe name will be complemented in you.\u201d He was circumcised and the name was complemented with the Yod of the Mila [circumcision]. The Shin [\u05e9] of Shadai is in the face of a man\u2014two eyes and the nose in between. And there is a Dalet [\u05d3] in his arm, without the Yod. It is completed by the Yod of the circumcision, and then they are called \u201cSons of the Lord,\u201d \u201choly sons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>68) When they defile the holy covenant and it is placed into another authority, in which he transgresses, the holiness of the seal departs him and it is as though he destroys the world, since he defiled the seal that the name of the Creator was completed in and he destroys the world, since it arrests the bestowal of the Creator upon the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>64) \u201cAnd Jacob said unto Joseph, \u2018God Almighty
