177. "And it came to pass, before he had done speaking" (Beresheet 24:15). According to Rabbi Yitzchak, Rabbi Yehuda said while he was thinking of how to try the body, it is written, "Behold, Rivkah came out," which is the holy body that is occupied in Torah. It pounds the body for knowledge of the conception of his Possessor, "who was born to Betuel" (Ibid.). Rav Yehuda said she was the daughter (Heb. bat) of El, the "son of Milkah" (Ibid.), who is a son to the King (Heb. Malkah) of the Universe. "The wife of Nachor, Abraham's brother" alludes to the company of the mind, the body attached to the mind, and is the brother of the soul, and the phrase, "With her pitcher upon her shoulder" alludes to the weight of wisdom upon it.
177. וַיְהִי הוּא טֶרֶם כִּלָּה לְדַבֵּר וגו'. רִבִּי יִצְחָק אָמַר רִבִּי יְהוּדָה, בְּעוֹד שֶׁכָּל הָעִנְיָנִים, הוּא רוֹצֶה לְנַסּוֹת עַל הַגּוּף, מַאי כְּתִיב, וְהִנֵּה רִבְקָה יוֹצֵאת, זֶהוּ הַגּוּף קָדוֹשׁ, שֶׁנִּתְעַסֵּק בְּד"ת, וְכִתֵּת גּוּפוֹ לְהַשִּׂיג וְלָדַעַת אֶת קוֹנוֹ. אֲשֶׁר יָלְדָה לִבְתוּאֵל, אָמַר רַב יְהוּדָה, בִּתּוֹ שֶׁל אֵל. בֶּן מִלְכָּה, בֶּן מַלְכָּהּ שֶׁל עוֹלָם. אֵשֶׁת נָחוֹר אֲחִי אַבְרָהָם. חֶבְרַת הַשֵּׂכֶל, גּוּף שֶׁנִּדְבַּק בַּשֵּׂכֶל, וְהִיא אָח הַנְּשָׁמָה. וְכַדָּהּ עַל שִׁכְמָהּ, מַשָּׂא הַחָכְמָה עָלֶיהָ.
