161. "They shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers." Why? Because they had to draw it at that time, for we learned that the lower crown, to which all the other lower crowns OF THE KLIPAH are attached, is broken by this TAKING OF THE LAMB. Therefore, Moses was specific in his words, "Draw out and take you lambs" (Shemot 12:21), WHICH IS according to the verse, "Flocks, and menservants and womenservants" (Beresheet 32:6), WHICH ARE LOWER CROWNS OF THE KLIPOT, AND THE TERM FLOCK INCLUDES THEM ALL. AND THE EGYPTIANS MADE THEM INTO DEITIES.
161. וְיִקְחוּ לָהֶם אִישׁ שֶׂה לְבֵית אָבוֹת, אֲמַאי, בְּגִין דִּבְזִמְנָא דָּא אִצְטְרִיךְ לְמֵיגַד לֵיהּ. דְּהָא תָּנֵינָן, בְּמִלְּתָא דָּא אִתְּבַר כִּתְרָא תַּתָּאָה, דְּמִתְאַחֲדִין בֵּיהּ כָּל שְׁאַר כִּתְרִין תַּתָּאִין, וְעַל דָּא פָּרִישׁ מֹשֶׁה וְאָמַר, מִשְׁכוּ וּקְחוּ לָכֶם צֹאן, כְּמָה דִּכְתִּיב, צֹאן וְעֶבֶד וְשִׁפְחָה.
