237. We have learned that on that day, all joy and every light and every indulgence in the worlds, NAMELY FORGIVENESS OF SINS, all depend on supernal Ima. All springs are drawn and flow from it, MEANING BOTH THE ILLUMINATION OF CHOCHMAH AND THE ILLUMINATION OF CHASSADIM. Then all these candles glow, BEING THE SECRET OF THE LIGHTS OF THE FIRE WITHIN MALCHUT, and they glow with light and joy until everything becomes fragrant. At that point, all Judgments are within the glow, AS THOSE JUDGMENTS DRAWN FROM THE FIVE AFFLICTIONS CAUSE CHOCHMAH TO SHINE FORTH. IF NOT FOR THEM, THE CHOCHMAH WOULD NOT BECOME REVEALED AS MENTIONED. The Judgment is not being carried out, BUT IS MERELY IMPENDING. This is the meaning of, "You shall afflict your souls," TO ENABLE THE ILLUMINATION OF CHOCHMAH.
237. וְתָאנָא, בְּהַאי יוֹמָא, כָּל חֵידוּ, וְכָל נְהִירוּ, וְכָל וַתְּרָנוּתָא דְּעָלְמִין, כֻּלְּהוּ תַּלְיָין בְּאִימָּא עִלָּאָה, דְּכָל מַבּוּעִין נַגְדִּין וְנָפְקִין מִנָּהּ. וּכְדֵין נְהִירִין כָּל אִינּוּן בּוּצִינִין, וְנַהֲרִין בִנְהִירוּ בְּחֶדְוָותָא, עַד דְּמִתְבְּסַם כֺּלָּא. וּכְדֵין כָּל אִינּוּן דִּינִין אִשְׁתְּכָחוּ בִּנְהִירוּ, וְדִינָא לָא אִתְעָבֵיד, וְעַל דָּא תְּעַנּוּ אֶת נַפְשׁוֹתֵיכֶם.
247. We have studied that when one sins before his Master, Mercy is awakened if he offers his sacrifice on the altar and the priest attains forgiveness for him and prays his prayer for him. The Judgments are mitigated and repentance, NAMELY BINAH, pours out blessings in the springs that emerge and flow. All candles are blessed together, NAMELY THE SFIROT OF MALCHUT, and one is cleansed from his sin.
247. תָּאנָא, בְּשַׁעֲתָא דַּהֲוָה ב"נ חָב קָמֵי מָארֵיהּ, וְקָרִיב קָרְבָּנֵיהּ עַל מַדְבְּחָא, וְכַהֲנָא מְכַפֵּר עָלֵיהּ, וּבָעֵי בָּעוּתֵיהּ עָלֵיהּ, מִתְעָרִין רַחֲמֵי, וְדִינִין מִתְבַּסְּמָן, וּתְשׁוּבָה אָרִיק בִּרְכָאן, בְּמַבּוּעִין דְּנַגְדִּין וְנָפְקִין, וּמִתְבָּרְכִין כֻּלְּהוּ בּוּצִינִין כַּחֲדָא, וּבַר נָשׁ אִתְדָּכֵי מֵחוֹבֵיהּ.
