45. The Orlah (lit. 'foreskin') rules over the tree for three years, WHICH ARE CALLED THE "ORLAH YEARS." In the human being, the first thirteen years are called the "Orlah years." After the body has lived these years, the soul is aroused to fulfill its holy task. It then receives full control over the body and inspires the goodwill necessary to overcome the serpent. Andthen the serpent will not be able to control the body as it did before.
45. בְּאִילָנָא, שָׁלְטָא עָרְלָה תְּלַת שְׁנִין. בְּבַר נָשׁ, תְּלַת סְרֵי שְׁנִין, דְּאִקְרוּן שְׁנֵי עָרְלָה, כֵּיוָן דְּאַעֲבָרוּ עַל גּוּפָא אִינוּן שְׁנִין, וְאִתְעַבְרַת נִשְׁמָתָא, לְמִפְלַח פּוּלְחָנָא קַדִּישָׁא, פְּקִידַת לְגוּפָּא, לִרְעוּתָא טָבָא, לִכְפוֹף לְהַהוּא נָחָשׁ, דְּהָא לָא יָכִיל לְשַׁלְטָאָה כְּמָה דְהַוֵּי.
