371) \u201cAnd he blessed Joseph.\u201d We find no blessing for Joseph here, that Jacob blessed Joseph, but for his sons. But if for his sons, it should have said, \u201cAnd He blessed them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
372) Joseph implies Malchut, the blessing of his sons, because his sons\u2014Menashe and Ephraim\u2014are Malchut, which is called Et [of]. And when his sons are blessed, he is blessed first. This is why it writes Joseph, too, since a man\u2019s sons are his blessing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
373) \u201cAnd He blessed Joseph.\u201d Et [\u201cof,\u201d used in Hebrew before the word \u201cJoseph\u201d] implies to Malchut. He blessed as a sign of the covenant that Joseph, which is Malchut, kept. For this reason, the righteous, who is Joseph, is called Et, as it is written, Et Yosef [of Joseph] because Joseph includes the covenant, Malchut, which is with Joseph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
374) And Jacob said, \u201cThe God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked.\u201d \u201cThe God\u201d is the holy covenant, Malchut, called \u201choly covenant.\u201d \u201cBefore whom my fathers,\u201d since my fathers were the first and highest before Malchut, since my fathers are Abraham and Isaac, HG of ZA, were before Malchut and superior to her because she is nourished by them and nurses that place, the Malchut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
375) \u201cThe God who shepherds me.\u201d He said God a second time because he blessed that place, Malchut, the living God, Bina, the source of life, from which the blessings stem. This is the reason why he mentioned himself in that place, saying \u201cThe God who shepherds me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jacob, the middle line, receives all the blessings that are extended from the source of life, Bina. Without him, the two lines of Bina cannot shine. And when he receives them, he receives this place, the Malchut, the blessings from him, and it all depends on the male, Jacob. This is why it is written, and He blessed Joseph, where Et is the Malchut, who received the blessings from Jacob, ZA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
376) Wherever blessings are required, the Creator, Malchut, should be blessed first. And if the Creator is not blessed first, the blessings do not persist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
377) When Isaac blessed Jacob, he first blessed the Creator, as it is written, \u201cSee, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the Lord has blessed.\u201d Here, there is a blessing for the Creator, as it is written, \u201cwhich the Lord has blessed,\u201d meaning that he was blessed with the keeping of the blessings. Afterwards, it is written, \u201cAnd may God give you of the dew of heaven and of the fatness of the earth.\u201d This is so because a field, Malchut, has already been kept by the keeping of the blessings because the blessings stem from her only after she was already kept in the blessings. Similarly, first, Jacob blessed the Creator, and then he blessed his sons, as it is written, \u201cIn the morning he eats prey.\u201d In the morning, a person should bless the Creator first, and then the rest of the people in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
378) When Jacob wanted to bless the sons of Joseph, he saw in the spirit of holiness that Jeroboam son of Nebat was to come out of Ephraim. He asked, \u201cWho are these\u201d? And he said, \u201cThese are your gods, oh Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese are your gods, oh Israel.\u201d He said this work from the side of idol-worship. In all the sides in the evil serpent, it is discerned that it is from the side of the spirit of impurity, and SAM is riding it. They are a male and a female, and when they make a coupling, they are called \u201cThese,\u201d in plural form, to indicate that they are not united like the male and female in Kedusha [holiness], but are separated. They appear in the world in all their sides, meaning all the phases that are extended from the serpent are from the coupling of male and female, called \u201cThese.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
379) The spirit of holiness, Nukva of ZA, called \u201cthis,\u201d is the covenant. It is the imprint of the word that is always within man. Also, \u201cThis is my God, and I will praise Him,\u201d is the Creator, ZA, in singular form. However, ZON of Sitra Achra, SAM and the serpent, are called \u201cthese,\u201d in plural form. This is why it is written, \u201cThese are your gods oh Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
380) This is why it is written, \u201cEven these may forget,\u201d which are ZON of Sitra Achra, \u201cAnd I will not forget you.\u201d This \u201cI\u201d is the Nukva of ZA, \u201cWill not forget you.\u201d It is written, \u201cFor these I weep,\u201d since the sin of the calf, which is called \u201cthese,\u201d caused them weeping, as this is why the Temple was ruined. \u201cFor these I weep,\u201d since the serpent and SAM have been given permission to rule over Israel and to destroy the Temple. \u201cI\u201d is called the holy spirit, the Nukva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
381) It is written, \u201cThese are the words of the covenant.\u201d And how is it possible that \u201cthese\u201d is the name of ZON of Sitra Achra? However, all those curses exist within the \u201cthese,\u201d the Sitra Achra, since there is where all the curses are present. The serpent is cursed. It has been cursed, \u201cYou are more cursed than all the animals of the field.\u201d And this is why the Torah comes first and says, \u201cThese,\u201d referring to one who broke the words of the covenant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
382) And why does it even say in Kedusha, \u201cThese are the commandments which the Lord commanded\u201d? It is because all the Mitzvot [commandments] of the Torah are to cleanse man, so he will not stray from this path and will keep from the Sitra Achra and part from them. And why does it say, \u201cThese are the generations of Noah\u201d? There, too, it is the Sitra Achra, since Ham, the father of Canaan came out, and it is written, \u201cCursed be Canaan,\u201d and he is of these, since the serpent is cursed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
383) And they said, \u201cThese are your gods, oh Israel.\u201d All of that is the insides of the waste of gold. Aaron offered gold, his side, left, which comprises fire. This side is regarded as gold and as fire. The waste of gold is the shells and the impurity. The spirit of impurity is always in the desert, and it found a place at that time to strengthen in it and to grip to Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
384) And Israel\u2019s purification from the first filth of the serpent, which cast in the world and caused death to the world by the sin of the tree of knowledge\u2014from which they were purified when they stood by Mount Sinai\u2014returned again. And once again, the serpent caused them to defile them and to overcome them, and caused death to them and to the generations following them, as it is written, \u201cI said, \u2018You are godlike, but you will die as humans.\u2019\u201d This is so because due to the calf, the sentence of death returned to them, as in Adam HaRishon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
385) Hence, when Jacob saw in Jeroboam son of Nebat\u2014who was an idolater\u2014in the spirit of holiness, he was alarmed and said, \u201cWho are these?\u201d Afterwards, when he wanted to bless them, he blessed the Shechina first, and then blessed his sons. Since he blessed the Creator first, from that place, which he blessed first, he later blessed them, as it is written, \u201cThe angel that redeems me from all evil shall bless the boys.\u201d This means that the Shechina, who is called \u201can angel,\u201d will bless them, and by that, he was certain that his blessing will not reach Jeroboam and his friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
