The three letters of Tov (good)

Synopsis

The three letters composing the word Tov [Good] were not arbitrarily chosen. Each letter is a spiritual component that comprises the force called good. In contrast, the word good in English is built of four letters [g.o.o.d.]. By itself, the letter "g" conveys no meaning or energy associated with the concept of good. In Hebrew, however, each letter is a direct spiritual element that produces the force that it describes. Therefore, we can bring goodness into our lives merely by speaking a word, or by seeing it printed on a page.

Deeds Dreams Hebrew Letters Light Merit Peace Torah

324. "And Elohim saw the light that it was good" (Beresheet 1:4). We have learned that every dream that is interpreted according to "That it was good" PRESAGES peace above and below FOR HIM. THIS PERSON IS FREE OF ANY ACCUSATION ABOVE AND BELOW, BECAUSE each single person sees letters IN HIS DREAM according to the merit of his conduct AND DEEDS. If he sees THE LETTER Tet IN HIS DREAM, it is good for him and for his dream, for the Torah mentions THE LETTER TET for the first time in the phrase: "That it was good (Heb. tov, Tet Vav Bet)." BEFORE THIS, THERE IS NO MENTION OF THE LETTER TET, WHICH ALLUDES TO THE LIGHT that shone from one end of the world to the other. Therefore, THE LETTER Tet SIGNIFIES Tov, and good MEANS an illumination shining in complete perfection.

324. וַיַּרְא אֱלֹקִים אֶת הָאוֹר כִּי טוֹב, תְּנַן כָּל חֶלְמָא דְקַיְימָא בְּקִיּוּמָא דְּכִי טוֹב, שְׁלָמָא הוּא לְעֵילָא וְתַתָּא. חָמֵי אַתְוָון כְּפוּם אָרְחוֹי, כָּל חַד וְחַד, חָמָא ט' טַב לֵיהּ, טַב לְחֶלְמֵיהּ, דְּהָא אוֹרַיְיתָא פְּתַח בֵּיהּ כִּי טוֹב, נָהֵיר מִסְּיָיפֵי עָלְמָא לִסְיָיפֵי עָלְמָא, ט', טַב, טוֹב הוּא, טַב: נְהִירוּ בְּאַשְׁלָמוּתָא.

Heaven Point Ten Zeir Anpin

325. THE LETTER Tet is the ninth - NAMELY YESOD - WHICH IS THE NINTH OF THE TEN SFIROT. It is the letter that shines from the supernal BEING THAT IS CALLED beginning, NAMELY ARICH ANPIN, and is included with it. And by THE POWER OF concealment THAT LIES WITHIN the DOT (point), the secret of the letter Yud is formed, which is one point. The letter Vav, NAMELY ZEIR ANPIN, comes forth by the power OF THE LETTER TET, AND SO the heaven, ZEIR ANPIN, is formed by it. When it was completed, it was formed by a point, which was then hidden inside it. AFTERWARD, the second point, WHICH EXTENDS FROM THE LETTER TET, shone within it. TWO FEMALES, an upper one and a lower one, emerged from it, FROM ZEIR ANPIN. The upper one is concealed; the lower one is revealed by the secret of the two POINTS, BUT STILL exists only on account of the power of the upper POINT.

325. ט' תְּשִׁיעָאָה דְּכֹלָּא, אֶת דְּאִתְנְהֵיר מֵעִלָּאָה, רֵאשִׁיתָא וְאִתְכְּלֵיל בֵּיהּ, וְאִתְעֲבִיד בִּסְתִימוּ דִּנְקוּדָה, רָזָא דְּי', דְּהִיא נְקוּדָה חָדָא ו' מֵחֵילֵיהּ נָפִיק, בֵּיהּ אִתְעֲבִיד שָׁמַיִם. כַּד אִסְתַּיֵּים בִּנְקוּדָה חַד, וְאִתְגְּנֵיז גּוֹ אִתְנַהֲרָא ב'. מִנֵּיהּ נְפָקוּ עִלָּאָה וְתַתָּאָה, עִלָאָה טְמִירָא, תַּתָּאָה אִתְגַּלְיָיא, בְּרָזָא דִתְרֵין, וְקַיְימָא בְּחֵילָא דִלְעֵילָא.

Light Righteous Sixth Day, The

326. And this is Tov (good). The three letters - Tet, Vav and Bet - are later included within the Righteous One, the everlasting foundation, who combines everything from above and below in himself, as it is written: "Say to the righteous, that it shall be well (good) with him..." (Yeshayah 3:10). Because THE THREE ASPECTS OF the supernal light, WHICH ARE HINTED AT IN THE LETTERS - TET, VAV, AND BET - are included with him, as it is written: "Hashem is good to all: and His tender mercies are over all His works" (Tehilim 145:9). It is written: "To all" WITHOUT SPECIFYING TO WHOM HE IS GOOD, so as to shine upon a particular day that will illuminate all others. THIS IS A REFERENCE TO YESOD, WHICH IS THE SIXTH DAY AND INCLUDES THE PREVIOUS FIVE DAYS. THEREFORE, YESOD IS CALLED 'ALL', AND IT IS WRITTEN: "HASHEM IS GOOD TO ALL," MEANING THAT THE GOODNESS SHINES INTO YESOD. Up to here, the words ? are general. FURTHER ON, THEY SHALL BE EXPLAINED IN DETAIL.

326. וְדָא הוּא טוֹב, אִלֵּין תְּלַת אַתְוָון, טוֹ"ב, אִתְכְּלִילוּ לְבָתַר לְצַדִּיקָא דְעָלְמָא, דְּכָלֵיל כֹּלָּא לְעֵילָא וְתַתָּא, כד"א אִמְרוּ צַדִּיק כִּי טוֹב, בְּגִין דִּנְהִירוּ עִלָּאָה כְּלִילָא בֵּיהּ, דִּכְתִיב טוֹב ה' לַכֹּל וְרַחֲמָיו עַל כָּל מַעֲשָׂיו, לַכֹּל כְּתִיב, דָּא סְתָמָא דְמִלָּה בְּגִין לְאַנְהָרָא יוֹמָא חַד דְּנָהֵיר לְכֹלָּא, עִלָּאָה עַל כֹּלָּא. עַד כָּאן סְתָמָא דְמִלִּין.
