Bereshit B: Chapter 52

"Hashem said to my master"

Synopsis

The Zohar describes the metaphysical process by which the negative desire to receive for the self alone is transformed into the desire to receive for the sake of sharing. This transformation opens the way to the final redemption, which will be achieved by the 7th millennium. We can hasten this process through our efforts in reading this section.

Ark Brit (Covenant) Covenant (Brit) Earth Grades Idolatry Joshua Nukva South West Zeir Anpin

242. Rabbi Shimon further said, "Hashem said to my master, Sit at My right hand till I have made your enemies as your footstools" (Tehilim 110:1). "Hashem said to my master" MEANS THAT the upper level, ZEIR ANPIN, says to the lower level, THE NUKVA, "Sit at My right," so as to link west, THE NUKVA, with the south, CHESED OF ZEIR ANPIN, and the left, THE NUVKA, with the right, ZEIR ANPIN. These linkages break the power of the idolatrous nations. THE QUOTATION CONTINUES, "TILL I HAVE MADE YOUR ENEMIES AS YOUR FOOTSTOOLS," BECAUSE "Hashem said" is Jacob, ZEIR ANPIN, AND "to my master" is "the ark of the covenant of the Master of all the earth" (Yehoshua 3:11), NAMELY THE NUKVA.

242. תּוּ, פְּתַח ר' שִׁמְעוֹן וַאֲמַר נְאֻם ה' לַאֲדוֹנִי שֵׁב לִימִינִי עַד אָשִׁית אוֹיְבֶיךָ הֲדוֹם לְרַגְלֶיךָ. נְאֻם ה' לַאֲדוֹנִי, דַּרְגָּא עִלָּאָה, לְדַרְגָּא תַּתָּאָה קָאָמַר, שֵׁב לִימִינִי, לְאִתְקַשְּׁרָא מַעֲרָבִית בִּדְרוֹמִית, שְׂמָאלָא בְּיָמִינָא, בְּגִין לְתַבְּרָא חֵילֵיהוֹן, דִּשְׁאָר עַמִין עעכו"ם. נְאֻם ה' לַאֲדוֹנִי, נְאֻם ה', דָּא יַעֲקֹב. לַאֲדוֹנִי, דָּא אֲרוֹן הַבְּרִית אֲדוֹן כָּל הָאָרֶץ.

Jubilee Love Nukva Year

243. An alternative explanation is that "Hashem says" is the Jubilee, WHICH IS BINAH, and "to my master" is the Sabbatical Year, THE NUKVA, of whom it is said, "I love my master" (Shemot 21:5). JUBILEE SAYS TO THE SABATICAL YEAR, "Sit at My right," because the right, WHICH IS CHASSADIM, exists in Jubilee, NAMELY BINAH and the Sabatical Year, WHICH IS THE NUKVA, must link with the right, AS WE HAVE EXPLAINED.

243. דָּבָר אֲחֵר נְאֻם ה', דָּא יוֹבְלָא. לַאֲדוֹנִי, דָּא שְׁמִיטָה. דִּכְתִיב בָּהּ אָהַבְתִּי אֶת אֲדוֹנִי. שֵׁב לִימִינִי, דְּהָא יְמִינָא בְּיוֹבְלָא שָׁרְיָא, וּשְׁמִיטָה בָּעֵי לְאִתְקַשְּׁרָא בְּיָמִינָא.

Earth Heaven Mochin Nukva Year Zeir Anpin

244. Come and behold: The Sabbatical Year, NAMELY THE NUKVA, was not thoroughly connected to right and left ever since it existed. And when THE NUKVA wants to link WITH THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT, ZEIR ANPIN spreads out His left arm toward her and creates this world. THAT IS, THE LEFT ASPECT OF THE NUKVA, CALLED "THIS WORLD." And since it is now only the aspect of the left, she has no stable existence, THAT IS, NO COMPLETE MOCHIN. THIS WAS THE STATE OF AFFAIRS FOR THE SIX THOUSAND YEARS before the seventh millennium. At the inception of the seventh millennium - and only on that day - THE NUKVA links with the right, NAMELY CHASSADIM. Then THE NUKVA is embraced completely between right and left, THAT IS, WITH FULL MOCHIN, and a new heaven and earth will come into being. She will never be removed from there, BECAUSE SHE WILL BE BALANCED BETWEEN RIGHT AND LEFT FOREVER.

244. תָּא חֲזֵי, שְׁמִיטָה דָא, לָא אִתְקְשַׁר בְּקִיּוּמָא שְׁלִים, בְּיָמִינָא ובִשְׂמָאלָא, מִיּוֹמָא דְּאִשְׁתַּכְּחַת, כַּד בָּעְיָא לְאִתְקַשְּׁרָא, אוֹשֵׁיט דְּרוֹעָא שְׂמָאלָא לְקִבְלָהּ, וּבָרָא עָלְמָא דֵין, וּבְגִין דְּהוּא מִסִּטְרָא דִּשְׂמָאלָא, לֵית בֵּיהּ קִיּוּמָא, עַד זִמְנָא דְּאֶלֶף שְׁבִיעָאָה, דִּבְהַהוּא יוֹמָא לְחוּד, אִתְקַשַּׁר כְּדֵין בְּיָמִינָא, וּכְדֵין תֶּהֱוֵי בֵּין יָמִינָא וּשְׂמָאלָא, בְּקִיּוּמָא שְׁלִים, וְיִשְׁתַּכְּחוּן שָׁמַיִם חֲדָשִׁים, וְאֶרֶץ חֲדָשָׁה, וּכְדֵין לָא תַעֲדֵי מִתַּמָּן לְעָלְמִין.

Correction Nukva Year

245. HE RAISES A DIFFICULTY: If what you say is correct, AND ONLY IN THE SEVENTH MILLENNIUM WILL THE NUKVA LINK WITH THE RIGHT, how do we explain that "Sit at My right" WHICH MEANS DURING THE SIX THOUSAND YEARS AND NOT NECESSARILY AT THE ADVENT OF THE SEVENTH MILLENNIUM. AND HE EXPLAINS, THE VERSE "SIT AT MY RIGHT" applies to a specified time period. It says "till I make your enemies to be your footstools," which is not forever. But at that time, IN THE SEVENTH MILLENNIUM, she will never be removed, as it is written of her: "You shall spread to the right and to the left" (Yeshayah 54:3). That is, SHE WILL COMPRISE IN HERSELF THE RIGHT COLUMN AND THE LEFT COLUMN, and all will be one WITHIN HER.

245. אִי הָכֵי בְּמַאי נוֹקִים שֵׁב לִימִינִי, אֶלָּא עַד זִמְנָא יְדִיעָא, דִּכְתִיב עַד אָשִׁית אוֹיְבֶיךָ הֲדוֹם לְרַגְלֶיךָ, וְלָא תָדִיר. אֲבָל בְּהַהוּא זִמְנָא, לָא תַעֲדֵי מִתַּמָּן לְעָלְמִין, דִּכְתִיב כִּי יָמִין וּשְׂמֹאל תִּפְרוֹצִי, לְמֶהֱוֵי כֹּלָּא חַד.

Earth Female Heavens Male Nukva Shechinah Zeir Anpin

246. Come and behold: The words "the heaven" (Beresheet 1:1) allude to the upper Shechinah, NAMELY THE NUKVA FROM THE CHEST UPWARD, and the words "and the earth" (Ibid.) allude to the lower Shechinah, THE NUKVA FROM THE CHEST DOWNWARD OF ZEIR ANPIN. They are joined together as male and female. All this has been explained by the friends.

246. תָּא חֲזֵי, אֶת הַשָּׁמַיִם, דָּא שְׁכִינְתָּא עִלָּאָה. וְאֶת הָאָרֶץ, דָּא שְׁכִינְתָּא דִּלְתַתָּא, בְּאִתְחַבְּרותָא דִּדְכַר וְנוּקְבָא כַּחֲדָא. וְהָא אִתְּמָר כְּמָה דְּאִתְעָרוּ בֵּיהּ חַבְרַיָיא עַד כְּעָן.
