395) \u201cThe angel that redeems me from all evil shall bless the boys.\u201d After Jacob blessed and intended to unify from below upwards, when he said, \u201cThe God,\u201d Malchut, \u201cBefore whom my fathers,\u201d HG, \u201cWalked,\u201d he drew from above downwards when he said, \u201cThe God,\u201d Bina, \u201cWho has been my shepherd,\u201d Tifferet, and extended from Bina to Tifferet. When he received blessings, he then gave blessings to Nukva. And after the blessings arrived at the place he started and said, \u201cThe angel that redeems,\u201d from whom the blessings are extended to the lower ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
396) The cherubim were standing in a sign and a miracle. Three times a day, they were spreading their wings and sheltering the ark below. It is written, \u201cThe cherubim spread wings.\u201d It does not say, \u201cWhose wings are spread,\u201d which would mean that their wings are always spread. Rather, it is written, \u201cSpread wings,\u201d meaning that they do a deed and spread wings three times a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
397) The Creator did below as above. The cherubim in the tabernacle are as the cherubim above. The shape of the cherubim above is as boys who are standing under the Nukva of Atzilut on the right and on the left. They stand at the holy of holies of Beria, who are Matat and Sandalfon, and they are blessed first by the blessings that are extended from above, and from here the blessings are extended below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
398) \u201cThe angel that redeems me\u201d is Tifferet, who receives blessings from above. And since he received, he will bless the boys, the cherubim, who are Matat and Sandalfon, from whom the blessings are extended from upper ones to lower ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
399) It is written, \u201cHouse and wealth are an inheritance from fathers, and a wise wife is from the Lord.\u201d The Creator gives everything to a person. When the Creator awards a man with a house and a fortune, sometimes he bequeaths it all to his son and it becomes a patrimony for him. \u201cAnd a wise wife is from the Lord\u201d means that a man is rewarded with a wife from the Creator because the Creator rewards a person with her only after he is declared in the firmament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
400) The Creator makes couplings even before they come to the world. When people are rewarded with them, according to their actions, they are given a wife, and all the deeds of people are revealed before the Creator. And by the deeds of the righteous, He makes couplings before one comes to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
401) Sometimes in a bonding, a daughter of so and so is declared to so and so before they come to the world, but when he is born, the man corrupts his ways, so his woman is given to another until he straightens his ways. If he improves his ways and it is time for him to marry his woman, then a man is rejected before a man, and he comes and takes what is his. And the one who married his woman, before he improved his deeds, is now repelled because of him and dies, and he receives his woman from him. It is hard for the Creator to repel a man because of another man, so the Creator is the one who gives the woman to the man and the couplings come from Him. This is why it is written, \u201cAnd a wise wife is from the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
402) In truth, the Creator gives everything to a person, not just a wise wife. Even though the Creator summons good to give to man, if the man diverts his ways from the Creator to the Sitra Achra, from that Sitra Achra that clung to him in all the slandering and all the evils, what will come upon him will come, and they do not come to him from the Creator, but from that evil side that clung to him due to the deeds that he did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
403) Hence, a woman that is not wise, Solomon says about her, \u201cI find the woman more bitter than death, since he drew her upon him through his iniquities and the deeds that he did, and not through the Creator. Hence, when the Creator desires a person because of his good deeds, he provides him with a wise wife and redeems him from the Sitra Achra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
404) This is why Jacob said, \u201cThe angel that redeems me from all evil,\u201d meaning that I did not get a wife from the Sitra Achra and no blemish was placed in my seed, and they are all righteous and whole, complete, since he was redeemed from all evil, from the Sitra Achra. Also, Jacob did not cling to that Sitra Achra at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
405) Hence, \u201cThe angel that redeems me from all evil shall bless the boys,\u201d who are worthy of being blessed because Joseph kept the sign of the holy covenant. Joseph said about it, \u201cThey are my sons, which the Lord has thus given me,\u201d meaning that the covenant kept him and his sons worthy of being blessed, and he is worthy of many blessings. For this reason, Jacob gave each a single blessing, and many blessings to Joseph, as it is written, \u201cThe blessings of your father have surpassed the blessings of my ancestors … may they be the head of Joseph.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
406) It is written, \u201cUnto You I lift up my eyes, O You who dwells in the heavens.\u201d The prayer of a man who intends in it is above in the upper depth, Bina, from which all the blessings are extended, meaning from the right line, as well as every freedom, meaning from the left line, and from there they come out to sustain everything from her middle line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
407) Hence, there is an extra Yod here, for it writes, \u201cYoshvi [dwells] in heaven\u201d instead of \u201cYoshev [\u201cdwells\u201d as it is usually spelled] in heaven.\u201d This is so because the Yod, Hochma, never stops from that place because the coupling of Hochma and Bina never stops. This is why it is written, \u201cWho Yoshvi [dwells] in the heavens\u201d with an extra Yod, since Bina is gripped to upper Hochma, above, who is called, Yod, and gripped below, meaning she sits on the throne of the fathers, HGT, the throne that is called \u201cheaven,\u201d ZA, which includes HGT. This is because HGT of ZA are the three legs of the upper throne, which is Bina, hence the words, \u201cWho dwells in the heaven.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
408) This means that when the blessings are extended from above, from this depth, Bina, all of heaven receive them, meaning ZA, and from him, they are extended below until they reach the righteous, Tzadik and Tzedek, everlasting covenant, the Nukva, and from her, all the armies and all the camps, which are the lower ones in BYA, are blessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
409) The Nukva, a world, receives from the heaven, who are HGT of ZA. The crown of all the armies, Nukva, from whom all the armies in BYA receive, rises in seventy-two lights, which are seventy-two names in HGT of ZA. She is established into being the circle of the world in seventy places, where the seventy-two names of ZA illuminate in the Nukva in seventy places in the form of a circle, which means that it illuminates only from its center up and does not spread from above downwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are all one circle, all seventy places. Within that circle is a point that stands in the middle. This is the screen on which the coupling was made, and the light is received from there and above to all the sides. Hence, from that point, the whole circle is nourished. She is called \u201cthe house of the holy of holies,\u201d and she is a place for the Ruach of all the Ruchot [plural of Ruach], where ZA, the light of Ruach, makes a coupling, and from which all the Ruchot in the worlds are extended. This is the secret, that in all the secrets, the point of the lock is hidden within it and only the point of the key is revealed and dominating. He is hidden among the armies that spread from the Nukva and is hidden in her herself. When the Nukva rises through the seventy-two lights, all the worlds rise in her wake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
