10. The secret of: "Yet Hashem will command His steadfast love (Heb. Chesed) in the daytime" (Tehilim 42:9). That is Chesed OF ZEIR ANPIN, which is the High Priest, because Michael is a common priest in relation to his Master, CHESED OF ZEIR ANPIN. Nevertheless, EVEN THOUGH he is a common priest in relation to his Master, he is a king over the holy living creatures THAT ARE IN YETZIRAH, AND IT WAS SAID OF HIM: Let not the blessing of a common priest be light in your eyes. That is what is meant by: "Yet Hashem will command his Chesed in the daytime."

84. The Evil Inclination on its right side, that is the rank of Ishmael, is called the snake. From the left side, which is the rank of Esau, who is Samael, it is called a dog that is appointed over Gehenom - that barks - hav hav (arf arf), as it is written: "The leech has two daughters, crying, Give, give (Heb. hav, hav)" (Mishlei 30:15). It wishes to burn the soul that was made unclean with its fire in Gehenom. That is what is meant by: "And the spirit of jealousy came upon him, and he be jealous of his wife" truthfully, "and she be defiled." SOMETIMES, HE FALSELY ACCUSES HER BECAUSE SHE WAS NOT DEFILED.

86. It is the same with Yisrael. When they desecrate the Torah, the Holy One, blessed be He, sends them into exile among the children of Esau and the children of Ishmael under their servitude, whose rank is of the dog and the snake, and they are punished there. Through them, they become cleared and purified and refined like the refinement of silver and the trying of gold. This is what is said: "And will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried" (Zecharyah 13:9) until this would hold true about them: "Though your sins be like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow" (Yeshayah 1:18).

102. The Faithful Shepherd said to him: I intone on you solemnly the name of Yud Hei Vav Hei, that you will do your utmost not to delay THE REDEMPTION, since I am EXISTING in great distress. FOR ABOUT ME, IT IS WRITTEN: "And he looked this way and that, and when he saw that there was no man" (Shemot 2:12) to help me, to take me out of this distress, from this grave, since it says about me, "For they made his grave among the wicked" (Yeshayah 53:9). They do not recognize me but regard me as one of the evil mixed multitudes, like a dead dog that has caused a stench among them. The wisdom of the scribes shall become vapid (stinking) among them in each and every city, and in all places where Yisrael are scattered throughout their kingdoms. The mixed multitudes become the shepherds of Yisrael, who are the flock of the Holy One, blessed be He, as it is said about them: "But you, my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men" (Yechezkel 34:31). And they have no ability to do good with the Torah scholars.
