"Then it shall be seven days under its mother"

Synopsis

We are told that an animal accepted for a burnt offering shall be at least seven days old so that it will have experienced one Shabbat. We learn about why man must undergo one Shabbat before his circumcision. The two bloods spoken of are the blood of the Pascal sacrifice and the blood of circumcision, and the blood of circumcision is itself two bloods, through which one attains the life of the World to Come.

Fire Light Offering Seven Shabbat

60. "Then it shall be seven days under its mother" (Vayikra 22:27), in order for that force APPOINTED OVER IT to settle upon it and exist in it. It will exist in it when one Shabbat has rested on it. Otherwise it does not stay, FOR PEOPLE ONLY EXIST THROUGH THE LIGHT OF SHABBAT, AS IT IS WRITTEN, "AND BY THE SEVENTH DAY ELOHIM ENDED HIS WORK, WHICH HE HAD DONE" (BERESHEET 2:2). Later, when this force exists in it, it is written, "it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire to Hashem" (Ibid.), through the existence of the one Shabbat it experienced.

60. וְהָיָה שִׁבְעַת יָמִים תַּחַת אִמּוֹ, בְּגִין לְאִתְיַשְּׁבָא בֵּיהּ הַהוּא חֵילָא וְאִתְקַיָּים בֵּיהּ. וּבְמַּה יִתְקַיָּים בֵּיהּ. כַּד יִשְׁרֵי עָלֵיהּ שַׁבָּת חַד, וְאִי לָא, לָא יִתְקְיָּים. וּלְבָתַר דְּיִתְקְיָּים בֵּיהּ הַהוּא חֵילָא, כְּתִיב יֵרָצֶה לְקָרְבַּן אִשֶּׁה לַיְיָ,' בְּקִיּוּמָא דְּשַׁבָּת חַד, דְּאַעְבָּר עָלֵיהּ.

Animals Blood Circumcision Congregation Ezekiel Nefesh (Soul) Shabbat Soul (Nefesh)

61. As for man, by undergoing one Shabbat, the awakening of this world and his force, NAMELY THE ANIMAL NEFESH, are established. After he is circumcised, an awakening of the Supernal Spirit, THE SECRET OF THE NEFESH AS MENTIONED, occurs, and the Congregation of Yisrael, MALCHUT, passes over him and sees him with a holy imprint. Then she is roused towards him and the spirit of that holy world dwells on him. This is written in, "and saw you weltering in your blood, I said to you, In your blood live..." (Yechezkel 16:6), NAMELY two BLOODS.

61. וּבַר נָשׁ, בְּקִיּוּמָא דְּשַׁבָּת חַד, אִתְקַיָּים בֵּיהּ אִתְּעָרוּתָא דְּהַאי עָלְמָא, וְחֵילָא דִּילֵיהּ. בָּתַר דְּאִתְגְּזַר, אִתְּעַר עָלֵיהּ אִתְּעָרוּתָא דְּרוּחָא עִלָּאָה, וכ"י אַעְבָּר עָלֵיהּ, וְחָמָאת לֵיהּ, בִּרְשִׁימָא קַדִּישָׁא, וְאַתְעֲרַת עָלֵיהּ, וְשַׁרְיָא עָלֵיהּ רוּחָא דְּהַהוּא עָלְמָא קַדִּישָׁא, כְּמָה דְּאַתְּ אָמֵר, וָאֶעֱבוֹר עָלַיִךְ וָאֶרְאֵךְ מִתְבּוֹסֶסֶת בְּדָמָיִךְ וְגוֹ.' בְּדָמַיִךְ: בִּתְרֵי.

Blood Circumcision Congregation Egypt Righteous Sacrifice World to Come, The Zeir Anpin

62. You may say that when Yisrael went out of Egypt, there were among them the blood of the Pascal sacrifice and the blood of circumcision. Then it is written, "In your blood live," NAMELY THE TWO BLOODS. BUT what of "In your blood" in this case? THERE IS ONLY THE BLOOD OF CIRCUMCISION? HE ANSWERS, There ARE two, one of circumcision and one of the uncovering of the corona. The blood of circumcision is OF the Congregation of Yisrael, WHICH IS MALCHUT, while that of the uncovering is OF the Righteous, the foundation of the world, NAMELY, YESOD OF ZEIR ANPIN. Through these two bloods one attains the life of the World to Come. This is the meaning of, "In your blood live."

62. וְאִי תֵּימָא, הָתָם כַּד נָפְקוּ יִשְׂרָאֵל מִמִּצְרָיִם, דִּשְׁכִיחַ בֵּינַיְיהוּ דָּם פֶּסַח וְדָם מִילָה, כְּדֵין כְּתִיב בְּדָמַיִךְ חַיִי, הָכָא מַאי בְּדָמַיִךְ. אֶלָּא תְּרֵין, חַד דְּמִילָה, וְחַד דִּפְרִיעָה. חַד דִּגְזִירוּ, דִּכְנֶסֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל. וְחַד דִּפְרִיעָה, בְּצַדִּיק יְסוֹד עוֹלָם. וְאִלֵּין תְּרֵין דָּמִין דְּבַר נָשׁ קָאֵים בְּגִינַיְיהוּ בְּקִיּוּמָא דְּעָלְמָא דְּאָתֵי, הה"ד בְּדָמַיִךְ חַיִי.
