Brit (Covenant) Congregation Covenant (Brit) Egypt Exile Heart Judgment Mochin

128. "On the fourteenth day of the first month..." (Vayikra 23:5). Rabbi Chiya opened with, "I sleep, but my heart wakes. Hark, my beloved is knocking..." (Shir Hashirim 5:2). The Congregation of Yisrael said, I sleep in exile in Egypt, SINCE EXILE COMES FROM THE POWER THE LEFT EXERCISES OVER THE RIGHT AND WITH THE JUDGMENTS OF THE LEFT, THE MOCHIN OF MALCHUT ARE GONE, WHICH IS CONSIDERED SLEEP. My children were there under harsh enslavement, "but my heart wakes" to keep them so they will not be destroyed in exile. "Hark, my beloved is knocking" refers to the Holy One, blessed be He, who said, "and I have remembered My covenant" (Shemot 6:5).

128. וּבַחֹדֶשׁ הָרִאשׁוֹן בְּאַרְבָּעָה עָשָׂר יוֹם לַחֹדֶשׁ וְגוֹ.' רִבִּי חִיָּיא פָּתַח, אֲנִי יְשֵׁנָה וְלִבִּי עֵר קוֹל דּוֹדִי דּוֹפֵק וְגוֹ.' אָמְרָה כְּנֶסֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל, אֲנִי יְשֵׁנָה בְּגָלוּתָא דְּמִצְרַיִם, דַּהֲווֹ בָּנַי בְּשִׁעְבּוּדָא דְּקַשְׁיוּ. וְלִבִּי עֵר, לְנַטְרָא לְהוּ דְּלָא יִשְׁתֵּיצוּן בְּגָלוּתָא. קוֹל דּוֹדִי דּוֹפֵק, דָּא קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא, דְּאָמַר וָאֶזְכּוֹר אֶת בְּרִיתִי.

David Dew Gates Head Love Peace Praise

129. "Open to me" (Shir Hashirim 5:2) MEANS OPEN TO ME an opening as thin as a needle, and I shall open to you the celestial gates. "Open to me, my sister," since the opening to come in to Me is within you, so My children shall enter only through you. Unless you open your opening, I am closed off and cannot be found. Hence, "Open to me." "Open to me" assuredly. Therefore, when David wished to come in to the King, he would say, "Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will go in to them, and I will praise Yah. This is the gate of Hashem" (Tehilim 118:19-20). This, THE GATES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, WHICH IS MALCHUT, is an opening through which to come in to the King. "This is the gate of Hashem" to find Him and cleave to Him. Hence, "Open to me, my sister, my love...for my head is filled with dew," to unite with you and be at peace with you forever.

129. פִּתְחִי לִי פִּתְחָא כְּחִדוּדָא דְּמַחֲטָא, וַאֲנָא אַפְתַּח לְךָ תַּרְעִין עִלָּאִין. פִּתְחִי לִי אֲחוֹתִי, דְּהָא פִּתְחָא לְאַעְלָא לִי, בָּךְ הוּא, דְּלָא יֵיעֲלוּן לְגַבָּאי בָּנַי אֶלָּא בָּךְ, אַנְּתְּ הוּא פִּתְחָא לְאַעְלָא לִי בָּךְ, אִי אַנְתְּ לָא תִּפְתַּח פִּתְחָךְ, הָא אֲנָא סָגִיר. דְּלָא יִשְׁכְּחוּן לִי. בְּגִין כַּךְ, פִּתְחִי לִי. פִּתְחִי לִי וַדַּאי. וְעַל דָּא אָמַר דָּוִד, כַּד בָּעָא לְאַעֲלָא לְמַלְכָּא, אָמַר פִּתְחוּ לִי שַׁעֲרֵי צֶדֶק, אָבֹא בָם אוֹדֶה יָהּ. זֶה הַשַּׁעַר לַיְיָ,' דָּא הוּא פִּתְחָא וַדַּאי לְאַעֲלָא לְמַלְכָּא. זֶה הַשַּׁעַר לַיְיָ,' לְאַשְׁכְּחָא לֵיהּ, וּלְאִתְדַּבְּקָא בֵּיהּ, וְעַל דָּא פִּתְחִי לִי אֲחוֹתִי רַעְיָתִי שֶׁרֹאשִׁי וְגוֹ.' בְּגִין לְאִזְדַּוְּוגָא עִמָּךְ, וּלְמֶהֱוֵי עִמָּךְ בִּשְׁלָם דְּעָלְמִין.

Blood Brit (Covenant) Circumcision Congregation Covenant (Brit) Door Egyptians Faith Grades Lintel Midnight Sacrifice

130. Come and see, when the Holy One, blessed be He, was killing the firstborns Egyptian, NAMELY all those He killed at midnight, and brought the upper grades down, at that very time Yisrael entered the covenant of the holy sign by circumcising and uniting with the Congregation of Yisrael and joining her. They then displayed that blood on the lintel. So there were two kinds of blood, the one of the Pascal sacrifice and the other that of circumcision, and the mark of Faith was imprinted on the lintel, one on one side, the other on the other, and one in between. THESE ARE THE THREE COLUMNS, RIGHT, LEFT AND CENTRAL. It is also said, "and put it on the two side posts and on the upper door post" (Shemot 12:7), to display Faith.

130. ת"ח, בְּשַׁעֲתָא דְּקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא הֲוָה קָטִיל לְבוּכְרֵי דְּמִצְרָאֵי, כָּל אִינּוּן דְּקָטַל בְּפַלְגוּת לֵילְיָא, וְאָחִית דַּרְגִּין מֵעֵילָּא לְתַתָּא. בֵּיהּ שַׁעֲתָא עָאלוּ יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּקִיּוּמָא דְּאָת קַדִּישָׁא, אִתְגְּזָרוּ וְאִשְׁתָּתָּפוּ בִּכְנֶסֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְאִתְאַחֲדוּ בָּהּ. כְּדֵין הַהוּא דָּמָא אַחְזִיאוּ לֵיהּ עַל פִּתְחָא. וּתְרֵין דָּמֵי הֲווֹ, חַד דְּפִסְחָא, וְחַד דָּמָא דְּאִתְגְּזָרוּ. וַהֲוָה רָשִׁים עַל פִּתְחָא, רְשִׁימָא דִּמְהֵימְנוּתָא, חַד הָכָא וְחַד הָכָא וְחַד בֵּינַיְיהוּ, וְהָא אִתְּמַר, וְנָתְנוּ עַל שְׁתֵּי הַמְזוּזוֹת וְעַל הַמַּשְׁקוֹף, בְּגִין לְאַחֲזָאָה מְהֵימְנוּתָא.

Bread Circumcision Faith Heaven Leaven Rain Torah Zeir Anpin

131. "On the fourteenth," we learned that then leavened bread and leaven are renounced, and Yisrael are gone from another dominion and are uprooted from it, and join the leavened bread in a holy bond. After they are circumcised they come into it BY MEANS OF THE MATZAH until AFTER THE GIVING OF THE TORAH, WHEN they uncovered the corona and their imprint was revealed. Then He gave them the bond in a high place in the bond of Faith, the place where it is written, "Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you" (Shemot 16:4), exactly from heaven, NAMELY FROM ZEIR ANPIN CALLED HEAVEN. This has already been explained.

131. וּבְאַרְבָּעָה עֲשָׂר, הָא אִתְּמַר, דְּהָא כְּדֵין מְבַטְּלִין חָמֵץ וּשְׂאוֹר, וְאִסְתַּלָּקוּ יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵרְשׁוּתָא אָחֳרָא, וְאִתְעֲקָרוּ מִנֵּיהּ, וְאִתְאַחֲדוּ בְּמַּצָה, קִשּׁוּרָא קַדִּישָׁא. בָּתַר דְּאִתְגְּזָרוּ, עָאלוּ בָּהּ, עַד דְּאִתְפְּרָעוּ, וְאִתְגַּלְיָיא רְשִׁימָא דִּלְהוֹן, וּכְדֵין יָהַב לְהוֹן קִשּׁוּרָא, בַּאֲתַר עִלָּאָה, בְּקִשּׁוּרָא דִּמְהֵימְנוּתָא, בַּאֲתַר דִּכְתִּיב הִנְנִי מַמְטִיר לָכֶם לֶחֶם מִן הַשָּׁמָיִם, מִן הַשָּׁמָיִם דַּיְיקָא, וְהָא אוּקְמוּהָ.

Astrology Evil Klipot (Shells – Negativity) Light Moon Shells (Klipot) Sun Zeir Anpin

132. Come and see, on the fourteenth day AT NIGHT, when the union of the moon, MALCHUT, is in perfection with the sun, ZEIR ANPIN, the lower Sfirot OF THE KLIPOT do not endure so much in the world. For at the time of the renewal of the moon, evil species abound and are roused to expand in the world. BUT when the union of the moon is wholly in the light of the sun, all THE KLIPOT are gathered into one place AND HIDE, while the holy things of the King are roused. Then, "It is a night of watchfulness to Hashem" (Shemot 12:42), since the holy union is present, which is watchful in every respect.

132. ת"ח, בְּאַרְבֵּיסַר בְּשַׁעֲתָא דְּזִוּוּגָא דְּסִיהֲרָא אִשְׁתְּכַח בִּשְׁלִימוּ עִם שִׁמְשָׁא, וְכִתְרִין תַּתָּאִין לָא מִשְׁתַּכְּחִין כָּל כַּךְ בְּעָלְמָא, דְּהָא בְּחַדְתּוּתֵי דְּסִיהֲרָא, זִינִין בִּישִׁין מִשְׁתַּכְּחִין, וּמִתְעָרֵי לְאִתְפַּשְׁטָא בְּעָלְמָא. וּבְשַׁעֲתָא דְּזִוּוּגָא דְּסִיהֲרָא אִשְׁתְּכַח בִּנְהִירוּ דְּשִׁמְשָׁא בִּשְׁלִימוּ, מִתְכַּנְּשֵׁי כֻּלְּהוּ לַאֲתַר חַד, וְקִדּוּשֵׁי מַלְכָּא אַתְּעֲרוּ. כְּדֵין כְּתִיב לֵיל שִׁמּוּרִים הוּא לַיְיָ,' דְּהָא זִוּוּגָא קַדִּישָׁא אִשְׁתְּכַח, וְהוּא שִׁמּוּרִים בְּכֹלָּא.

Bride Mochin Torah World to Come, The Zeir Anpin

133. Rabbi Acha said, For that reason the bride, MALCHUT, is made ready on that day, THE FOURTEENTH, and on the night OF THE FIFTEENTH DAY, the house is settled, NAMELY MALE AND FEMALE ARE UNITED. Woe to those who are not of the household, WHO DO NOT CLEAVE TO MALCHUT, when the two Torahs come to unite - THE WRITTEN TORAH, ZEIR ANPIN, AND THE ORAL TORAH, MALCHUT. Woe to those who are not recognized by them. For that reason, holy Yisrael prepare MALE AND FEMALE a home, THAT IS, A UNION, all that FOURTEENTH day, and through them those who need to, enter, THAT IS, THE MOCHIN NECESSARY FOR THE UNION OF MALE AND FEMALE. And they, MALE AND FEMALE, are glad and both sing. Happy are Yisrael in this world and in the World to Come.

133. ר' אַחָא אָמַר, בְּגִין כַּךְ תִּקּוּנָא דְּכַלָּה בְּהַהוּא יוֹמָא, וּבְלֵילְיָא אִשְׁתְּכַח יִשּׁוּבָא דְּבֵיתָא, וַוי לְאִינּוּן דְּלָאו מִבְּנֵי בֵּיתָא נִינְהוּ, כַּד אָתָאן לְאִזְדָוְוגָא אוֹרַיְיתָא כַּחֲדָא, וַוי לְאִינּוּן דְּלָא אִשְׁתְּמוֹדְעָן גַּבַּיְיהוּ. בְּגִין כַּךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל קַדִּישִׁין מְתַקְּנִין לוֹן בֵּיתָא, כָּל הַהוּא יוֹמָא, וְעַל יְדַיְיהוּ, עַיְילֵי מַאן דְּעַיְילֵי, וְאִינּוּן חַדָּאן וְזַמְּרָן תַּרְוַויְיהוּ זַכָּאִין אִינּוּן יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעָלְמָא דֵּין וּבְעָלְמָא דְּאָתֵי.

Aba and Ima Astrology Bride Crowns Freedom Holy Name Leaven Mochin Moon Sun Zeir Anpin

134. Rabbi Yosi said, Why should we bother so much? There is a whole verse to the effect that that night the supernal holy union is awakened and is present. This is the meaning of, "It is a night of watchfulness to Hashem." Why is watchfulness WITH A PLURAL SUFFIX? HE ANSWERS THAT IT ALLUDES TO two, which are the union of the moon with the sun, MALCHUT AND ZEIR ANPIN. "For all the children of Yisrael in their generations" (Ibid.) MEANS THAT from now on YISRAEL are united and connected with the bond of the Holy Name, and have come out from another dominion. For that reason, they prepare themselves on the fourteenth and burn all the leaven among them and enter into a holy dominion. Then the groom and bride, ZEIR ANPIN AND MALCHUT, are crowned with the crowns of supernal Ima, BINAH, and man should show himself free, SINCE THE MOCHIN OF SUPERNAL IMA ARE CALLED FREEDOM.

134. אָמַר ר' יוֹסֵי לָמָּה לָן לְאַטְרְחָא כּוּלֵי הַאי, קְרָא שְׁלִים הוּא, דְּהָא בְּהַאי לֵילְיָא, זִוּוּגָא עִלָּאָה קַדִּישָׁא אִתְּעַר וְאִשְׁתְּכַח, הה"ד, הוּא הַלַּיְלָה הַזֶּה לַיְיָ' שִׁמּוּרִים, מַאי שִׁמּוּרִים. תְּרֵי, זִוּוּגָא דְּסִיהֲרָא בְּשִׁמְשָׁא. לְכָל בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לְדוֹרֹתָם, דְּהָא מִכָּאן וּלְהָלְאָה, אִתְאֲחָדוּ וְאִתְקַשָּׁרוּ בְּקִשּׁוּרָא דִּשְׁמָא קַדִּישָׁא, וְנָפְקוּ מֵרְשׁוּתָא אָחֳרָא. בְּגִינֵי כַּךְ בְּאַרְבָּעָה עֲשַׂר, מְתַקְּנֵי גַּרְמַיְיהוּ, וּמְבַעֲרֵי חָמֵץ מִבֵּינַיְיהוּ, וְעַיְילֵי בִּרְשׁוּתָא קַדִּישָׁא, וּכְדֵין מִתְעַטְּרֵי חָתָן וְכַלָּה, בְּעִטְרוֹי דְּאִימָא עִלָּאָה, וּבָעֵי בַּר נָשׁ לְאַחֲזָאָה גַּרְמֵיהּ דְּאִיהוּ בַּר חוֹרִין.

Chassadim Directions Grades

135. Rabbi Yosi said, What is the purpose of the four cups on that night? Rabbi Aba said, The friends explained they correspond to the four redemptions, "AND I WILL BRING...AND I WILL DELIVER... AND I WILL REDEEM...AND I WILL TAKE" (SHEMOT 6:6-7). This is well EXPLAINED in the book of Rav Yesa Saba, who said that since the holy union abounds that night in all directions, BOTH IN CHOCHMAH AND CHASSADIM, the union is formed with four bonds, or four grades that are inseparable when this union is present, WHICH ARE CHOCHMAH AND BINAH, TIFERET AND MALCHUT. And we are awakened by their joy, AND DRINK FOUR CORRESPONDING CUPS, because we attained them, since whoever is attached to it, TO THE ILLUMINATION OF THE UNION, attains all FOUR GRADES, CHOCHMAH AND BINAH, TIFERET AND MALCHUT. For that reason this night is different than all other nights, and it behooves us to make AND UNIFY this name in every way, and rejoice that night since it is joy above and below.

135. א"ר יוֹסֵי, הָנֵי אַרְבַּע כַּסֵי דְּהַהוּא לֵילְיָא אֲמַאי. א"ר אַבָּא, הָא אוּקְמוּהָ חַבְרַיָּיא, לָקֳבֵיל ד' גְּאוּלוֹת. אֲבָל שַׁפִּיר הוּא בְּסִפְרָא דְּרַב יֵיסָא סָבָא, דְּקָאָמַר הוֹאִיל וְזִוּוּגָא קַדִּישָׁא אִשְׁתְּכַח בְּהַאי לֵילְיָא בְּכָל סִטְרִין, וְזִוּוּגָא הוּא בְּאַרְבַּע קִשְׁרִין, דְּאִינּוּן ד' דַּרְגִּין, וְלָא מִתְפָּרְשֵׁי דָּא מִן דָּא, כַּד זִוּוּגָא דָּא אִשְׁתְּכַח, וַאֲנָן בְּחֶדְוָותָא דִּלְהוֹן אִתְּעַרְנָא, בְּגִין דְּהָא זָכֵינָא בְּהוּ, דְּמַאן דְּאָחִיד בְּדָא, זָכֵי בְּכֹלָּא. וְעַ"ד אִשְׁתַּנֵי לֵילְיָא דָּא מִכָּל שְׁאָר לֵילָוָון, וּבָעֵינָן לְמֶעְבַּד שְׁמָא בְּכֹלָּא, וּלְמֶחְדֵי בְּהַאי לֵילְיָא, בְּגִין דְּחֶדְוְותָא הוּא לְעֵילָּא וְתַתָּא.

Angels Grades Light

136. He further said that these four, CHOCHMAH AND BINAH, TIFERET AND MALCHUT, are called four redemptions. The reason is that the last grade, MALCHUT, is called 'redeemer,' NAMELY the redeeming angel. It is only called redeemer through a higher superior grade, TIFERET, that is situated over it and shines upon it. It, TIFERET, only brings light upon it by means of the two grades above it, CHOCHMAH AND BINAH, FROM WHICH TIFERET RECEIVES. Thus these four, CHOCHMAH AND BINAH, TIFERET AND MALCHUT, are the four redemptions, SINCE THEY ARE CONNECTED TO MALCHUT CALLED REDEEMER.

136. וְעוֹד אָמַר, דְּאַרְבַּע אִלֵּין אַרְבַּע גְּאוּלוֹת קָרֵינָן לְהוּ. מ"ט. בְּגִין דְּהַאי דַּרְגָּא בַּתְרָאָה, גּוֹאֵל אִתְקְרֵי, הַמַּלְאָךְ הַגּוֹאֵל. וְלָא אִקְרֵי גּוֹאֵל, אֶלָּא עַל יְדָא דְּדַרְגָא אָחֳרָא עִלָּאָה, דְּקַיְּימָא עָלָהּ וְנָהִיר לָהּ. וְדָא לָא אַפִּיק לָהּ נְהוֹרָא, אֶלָּא בְּאִלֵּין תְּרֵין דַּרְגִּין דְּעָלֵיהּ. אִשְׁתְּכַח, דְּד' אִלֵּין אַרְבַּע גְּאוּלוֹת נִינְהוּ.
