91) \u201cJoseph said to his father, \u2018They are my sons, whom God has given me by this.\u2019\u201d Israel below, who are called \u201cJoseph,\u201d will say\u2014when the upper Israel is atop them from above\u2014\u201cThey are my sons.\u201d \u201cThe Creator has given me the Torah,\u201d which is called \u201cThis,\u201d and this is why it is written \u201cBy this.\u201d \u201cHow many are they\u201d relates to Israel and their real laws in the laws of the Torah that was given to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Israel are under the wings of the Shechina, the Torah is called \u201cThis,\u201d as it is written, \u201cThis is my God, and I will glorify Him.\u201d \u201cWhom God has given me by this\u201d is the Torah. Each time David did not speak under the wings of the Shechina, but prophesied what was to be, the Torah is called \u201cThis,\u201d as it is written, \u201cThis is the law [Torah] which Moses set before the children of Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes the Torah is called \u201cthis\u201d [in male form] and sometimes it is called \u201cthis\u201d [in female form]. The difference between them is that male means active and bestowing, and female implies receiving of the act, while not performing any act of her own. It is as we learned, \u201cEster was the ground of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When is it called \u201cthis\u201d [in male form] and when is it called \u201cthis\u201d [in female form]? When Israel are under the wings of the Shechina in exile, when they take shelter under the wings of the Shechina, they are called \u201ckeepers of the Torah,\u201d for they act and make the Torah. At that time, the Torah is considered a male, active, hence it is called \u201cthis\u201d [in male form]. And whenever David did not speak from under the wings of the Shechina, but prophesied what was to be, the Torah is called \u201cthis\u201d [in female form].<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the revelation of the Torah and the disclosure of all the secrets in it, the Torah is considered female because then only the reward in it is revealed and there is no action in it. It is like the ground of the world, and for this reason, at that time it is called \u201cthis\u201d [in female form], as it is written, \u201cThis is the law [Torah].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
92) From this we learn the difference between \u201cthis\u201d [in male form] and \u201cthis\u201d [in female form] when it is written, \u201cIf a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; if war should arise against me, in this [female] I trust.\u201d \u201cThis\u201d [female] is the Torah that will be when the Messiah comes, when the Torah is revealed. This is why it is written, \u201cAnd the voice of the Tor [turtledove] is heard in our land.\u201d It writes Tor, in male form, and not Torah [in female form], as it usually does. Tor is the name of the dove, as it is written, \u201cTurtledoves or young pigeons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, the Torah is compared to a dove because the dove has a pleasant voice and the Torah has a pleasant voice, as well. And this voice will be when the Messiah comes on judgment day, prior to the redemption. At that time, the Messiah will execute judgments and wars on the nations that enslave Israel. But because it is still not the time for disclosure of the Torah, she is called Tor, in male form, and she is called \u201cthis\u201d [male form].<\/p>\n\n\n\n
93) \u201c’The flower buds have appeared in the land; the time of singing has arrived, and the voice of the turtledove has been heard in our land.\u201d \u201cThe flower buds\u201d are the patriarchs from the Merkava [assembly\/chariot]\u2014Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob\u2014who will rise in the world and will appear in the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
94) \u201cThe time of singing has arrived\u201d is the song that the Levites will sing when they return to their work as in the beginning. \u201cAnd the voice of the turtledove\u201d is the voice of Torah in male form, which is called \u201cthis\u201d [male], of which it is written, \u201cWhom God has given me by this.\u201d These are the words of Torah, which are as pleasant as the voice of the turtledove, who is \u201cthis\u201d [male].<\/p>\n\n\n\n
95) When Israel do not take shelter under the wings of the Shechina, the letter Aleph of \u201cthis\u201d [female] descends below all the degrees and the letter Hey of \u201cthis\u201d in the verse, \u201cThis is my God, and I will glorify Him\u201d departs. This is so because once the house has been ruined, the Hey could not be among the idol-worshipping nations. Thus, the holy Hey was separated from the name. When Israel return to their land, the holy Hey will return to \u201cthis\u201d and will depart from the judgment day, and the Aleph will receive her correction and will return to \u201cthis\u201d [female].<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which is more important, the Hey or the Aleph? The Hey is more important in regards to Kedusha [holiness], and the Aleph is more important in regards to the letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
96) The names \u201cthis\u201d and \u201cTor\u201d are equal; they unity together. The Zayin of Zeh [\u201cthis\u201d in Hebrew] joins the Reish of Tor, and the Reish of Tor joins the Tav of Tor, and the combination Zeret [little finger] results from it, as it is written, \u201cand established the heavens with a span [Hebrew: Zeret].\u201d The Vav of Tor joins the Hey of Zeh, making Vav-Hey of the name HaVaYaH, which are ZA and his Nukva. The Zeret of the Creator is 670 years, from heaven, ZA, to earth, which is Nukva. How so? Because this Tor has two combinations: 1) Zeret [Zayin-Reish-Tav] Vav-Hey; 2) Hey-Vav Terez [Tav-Reish-Zayin]. This means that the Hey of Zeh advanced toward the Vav of Tor, and the advancement of the Hey implies to Bina, who gives to ZA, Vav. Vav advances toward the Tav of Tor, Tav to Reish of Tor, and Reish to Zayin of Zeh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In other words, the combination of the two Hey-Vav Terez is 670 years from heaven to earth, meaning the level of the light that is imparted from heaven, ZA, to earth, the Nukva. It indicates that it lacks thirty for the seventh century, which is the missing GAR in this level. And even though there are only 607 here, the seven is multiplied by ten, and they are 670.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By that, he tells us that two combinations arise out of the names Zeh and Tor, which are equal as one: 1) Vav-Hey Zeret, ZA, is the heaven itself; 2) Hey-Vav Terez, ZA, is the level of bestowal upon the Nukva. It was written, \u201cIt shall be square and folded double, a span [little finger] in length and a span in width.\u201d \u201cA span in length\u201d is the level of bestowal of ZA, 670, which is Zeret in Gematria. \u201cAnd a span in width\u201d is ZA himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
97) \u201cAnd he said, \u2018Bring them to me, please, and I will bless them.\u2019\u201d Because the sons engage in words of Torah, as Joseph said, \u201cWhom God has given me by this,\u201d this is the Torah, and there is a measure of \u201cthis\u201d [male form] between them, \u201cAnd I will bless them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
98) It is written, \u201cAnd he said to him, \u2018What is your name?\u2019 And he said, \u2018Jacob.\u2019\u201d The name Jacob implies Katnut and contentment with being without Mochin. Afterwards, it is written, \u201cAnd Jacob asked him and said, \u2018Please tell me your name,\u2019 and he said, \u2018Why do you ask for my name?\u2019\u201d That is, what is this matter, that you ask for my name? A name implies attainment. In regards to that other matter\u2014that you said your name was Jacob\u2014it means that you settle for Katnut and do not seek attainment and knowing the Creator. \u201cAnd he said, \u2018Why do you ask for my name?\u2019 And he blessed him there.\u201d This means that he told him that he is not destined to bless them but only thanks to \u201cthis\u201d [male form].<\/p>\n\n\n\n
99) The Torah is called \u201cthis\u201d [male form]. It is written, \u201cThis Sinai, at the presence of the Lord, God of Israel.\u201d Sinai is the Torah that was given at Sinai. Also, when the Torah was given through Moses, it was said about him, \u201cFor this is Moses, the man.\u201d It is also written, \u201cThis is my God, and I will glorify Him,\u201d which means that the Torah, called \u201cthis\u201d [male form], was coming down from before the God of Israel, and then they said, \u201cThis is my God.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
