315. If you will wonder that if all are Judgments, why is it written: "And Saul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in his place" (Ibid. 37)? It does not seem THAT THERE WILL BE Judgment, since we have learned that Rehoboth by the river means Binah, from whose source are opened fifty gates of lights and candles to the six corners of the world. THAT IS ZEIR ANPIN REFERRED TO AS WORLD AND, THEREFORE, IT WAS CALLED REHOBOTH, SO WE SEE THAT SAUL OF REHOBOTH BY THE RIVER IS NOT OF JUDGMENT. HE REPLIES: We have learned that they all are Judgments except for one, the last KING that lasted, THAT IS HADAR. This Saul from Rehoboth by the river is only one side, THE LEFT SIDE, that spread and emerged from Rehoboth by the river. THEREFORE, HE TOO IS OF JUDGMENT.
315. וְאִי תֵּימָא אִי הָכִי דְּדִינָא כֻּלְּהוּ, וְהָא כְּתִיב וַיִּמְלוֹך תַחְתָּיו שָׁאוּל מֵרְחוֹבוֹת הַנָּהָר, וְהָא לָא אִתְחֲזֵי דִּינָא. דְּתָנֵינָן, רְחוֹבוֹת הַנָּהָר אִיהוּ בִּינָה, דְּמִינָהּ מִתְפַּתְּחִין חַמְשִׁין תַּרְעִין דִּנְהוֹרִין וּבוּצִינִין, לְשִׁית סִטְרֵי עָלְמָא. תָּאנָא, כֻּלְּהוּ דִּינָא, בַּר מֵחָד דְּאִתְקַיָּים בַּתְרָאָה, וְהַאי שָׁאוּל מֵרְחוֹבוֹת הַנָּהָר, דָּא הוּא חַד סִטְרָא, דְּאִתְפָּשָׁט וְנָפִיק מֵרְחוֹבוֹת הַנָּהָר.
