Apples Atika Kadisha Beard Ears Face Hair Offering Oil Spices Zeir Anpin

165. With these spice offerings, THAT IS, THE TWO APPLES OF THE FACE, the beard starts to appear at the beginning of the ears, falling and rising with the spice offering, NAMELY, IN THE FACE. The hair of the beard is black, which is a nice and handsome characteristic, like a courageous and strong handsome man. The valuable oil of the supernal beard of Atika appears and shines in the beard of Zeir Anpin.

165. בְּאִלֵּין תַּקְרוֹבִין דְּבוּסְמָא, שַׁארִי דִּיקְנָא לְאִתְחֲזָאָה, מֵרֵישָׁא דְּאוּדְנִין, וְנָחִית וְסַלִיק בְּתַקְרוֹבָא דְּבוּסְמָא, שַׂעֲרִין אוּכָמִין דְּדִיקְנָא, בְּתִקּוּנָא יָאֶה שַׁפִּיר. כְּגִיבָּר תַּקִּיף, שַׁפִּיר. מִשְׁחָא דִּרְבוּת דְּדִיקְנָא עִלָּאָה דְּעַתִּיקָא, בְּהַאי דִּיקְנָא דִּזְעֵיר אַנְפִין אִתְחֲזֵי, וְנָהִיר.

Atika Kadisha Beard Oil Streams Thirteen World to Come, The Yisrael Saba Zeir Anpin

166. The beauty of this beard lies in nine characteristics. When the valuable oil of the thirteen streams of the beard of Atika Kadisha illuminates this beard OF ZEIR ANPIN, there are TOGETHER 22 characteristics. Then they are all blessed ABOVE AND BELOW. Yisrael Saba, WHICH IS ZEIR ANPIN, is blessed by it and it derives from, "By you (Heb. becha, = 22) shall Yisrael bless" (Beresheet 48:20), THAT IS, ZEIR ANPIN THAT IS CALLED YISRAEL BLESS WITH THE 22 CHARACTERISTICS. We explained all these characteristics in the holy Idra that they were all formed from the characteristics of Atika Kadisha. And here I wish to reveal what has not been revealed there in order to enter without shame THE WORLD TO COME.

166. שַׁפִּירוּ דְּהַאי דִּיקְנָא, בְּט' תִּקּוּנִין אִשְׁתְּכַח. וְכַד מִשְׁחָא דִּרְבוּת, דִּתְלַת עֲשַׂר נְבִיעִין דְּדִיקְנָא דְּעַתִּיקָא קַדִישָׁא נָהִיר בְּהַאי דִּיקְנָא, אִשְׁתְּכָחוּ כ"ב תִּקּוּנִין. וּכְדֵין מִתְבָּרְכִין כֻּלְּהוּ. וְיִשְׂרָאֵל סָבָא מִתְבָּרְכָא בְּהַאי, וְסִימָן, בְּךָ יְבָרֵךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל. כָּל תִּקּוּנִין דְּדִיקְנָא דָּא, אוֹקִימְנָא בְּאִדָרָא קַדִישָׁא, דְּכֻלְּהוּ מִתִיקּוּנִין דְּעַתִּיקָא קַדִישָׁא אִתְּקָנוּ. וְהָכָא בָּעֵינָא לְגַלָּאָה, מַה דְּלָא אִתְגְּלֵי תַּמָּן, בְּגִין לְמֵיעַל בְּלָא כִּסּוּפָא.

Aba and Ima Air Atika Kadisha Candles Ears Flow Hair Head Judgment Lock Mazal Stars

167. There are six CHARACTERISTICS that are considered nine. The first characteristic is that the hard candle emerged and struck under the hairs of the head underneath the locks over the ears, going down starting in front of the opening of the ears to the top of the mouth. This characteristic does not originate from Atika Kadisha except when Mazal of Atika Kadisha flows, from which comes the fount of Chochmah. When Ima flows and is included in the pure air, Ima receives the whiteness. And the spark, THAT IS, THE HARD CANDLE, enters THE PURE AIR AND BECOMES A PART OF HER. THEN it emerges and they unite with each other, THAT IS, IT STRIKES THE LOCKS OF HAIRS OVER THE EARS, THE TWO JUDGMENTS JOIN EACH OTHER and become one characteristic.

167. שִׁיתָא אִינּוּן, ט' אִקְרוּן. תִּקּוּנָא קַדְמָאָה, נָפַק הַהוּא נִיצוֹצָא בּוּצִינָא דְּקַרְדִינוּתָא, וּבָטַשׁ בִּתְחוֹת שַׂעֲרָא דְּרֵישָׁא, מִתְּחוֹת קוֹצִין דְּעַל אוּדְנִין, וְנָחִית מִקַּמֵּי פִּתְחָא דְּאוּדְנִין, עַד רֵישָׁא דְּפוּמָא, הָא תִּקּוּנָא דָּא מֵעַתִּיקָא קַדִישָׁא לָא אִשְׁתְּכַח, אֶלָּא כַּד נָגִיד מַזָּלָא דְּעַתִּיקָא קַדִישָׁא, וְתַלְיָיא מִנֵּיהּ הַהוּא מַבּוּעָא דְּחָכְמְתָא, כַּד אִימָּא אִתְמַשְּׁכָא וְאִתְכְּלִילַת בַּאֲוִירָא דַּכְיָא, הַהוּא חִוָּורָא נָקִיט אִימָּא, וְנִיצוֹצָא עָאלַת וְנַפְקַת, וְאִתְאֲחָד דָּא בְּדָא, וְאִתְעָבֵידַת חַד תִּקּוּנָא.

Beard David Judgment Mercy Revenge

168. When the need arises TO BESTOW CHESED OR JUDGMENTS, the one rises over the other, which is covered by it. THAT IS, WHEN THE TIME COMES TO BESTOW JUDGMENTS, CHESED IN THE BEARD IS COVERED AND JUDGMENT HAS SWAY. WHEN THE NEED ARISES TO BESTOW CHESED, JUDGMENT IN THE BEARD IS COVERED AND CHESED RULES. And all is needed, BOTH THE FORCE OF CHESED AND THE FORCE OF JUDGMENT, one to take revenge ON THE ENEMIES OF YISRAEL and one to have mercy ON YISRAEL. For that reason David coveted this beard as we explained.

168. וְכַד אִצְטְרִיךְ סַלְּקָא דָּא עַל דָּא, וְאִתְכַּסְּיָא חַד מִקַּמֵּי חֲדָא. ובג"כ כֺּלָּא אִצְטְרִיךְ, חַד לְמֶעְבַּד נוּקְמִין. וְחַד לְרַחֲמָא. וְעַל הַאי תָּאִיב לְהַאי דִּיקְנָא דָּוִד מַלְכָּא, כְּמָה דְּאוֹקִימְנָא.

Beard Body Face Hair Lips Offering Spices

169. There are nine characteristics to this beard, which are 60,000 HAIRS that come down from them and expand IN THEIR ILLUMINATION throughout the body. These six characteristics that come down do so from the hairs beneath the spice offering, THAT IS, BENEATH THE PART OF THE FACE CALLED SPICE OFFERING, three characteristics on the one side OF THE FACE and three characteristics on the other side OF THE FACE. From the preciousness of the beard, THAT IS, THE MOST VISIBLE PART OF THE BEARD THAT BEAUTIFIES THE FACE, come out three others, one above THE HAIRS over the lips, and two in the hair that hangs down to the navel. All the six, three on one side and three on the other, come down and hang with the hanging hairs and expand throughout the body.

169. בְּהַאי דִּיקְנָא ט' תִּקּוּנִין אִשְׁתְּכָחוּ, שִׁיתָא רִבְוָון דְּתַלְיָין בְּהוּ, וּמִתְפַּשְּׁטִין בְּכָל גּוּפָא. וְאִלֵּין שִׁיתָּא דְּתַלְיָין, תַּלְיָין בְּשַׂעֲרֵי דִּתְחוֹת תַּקְרוּבָא דְּבוּסְמִין. תְּלַת מֵהַאי סִטְרָא, וּתְלַת מֵהַאי סִטְרָא. וּבְיָקִירוּתָא דְּדִיקְנָא, תַּלְיָין תְּלַת אַחֲרָנִין. חַד לְעֵילָּא בְּשִׂפְוָון, וּתְרֵין בְּאִינּוּן שַׂעֲרִין דְּתַלְיָין עַד טַבּוּרָא. וְכָל הָנֵי שִׁיתָּא, ג' מִכָּאן וְג' מִכָּאן, אִתְמַשְּׁכָן וְתַלְיָין כֻּלְּהוֹן, בְּאִינּוּן שַׂעְרֵי דְּתַלְיָין וּמִתְפָּשְּׁטִין בְּכָל גּוּפָא.

Beard Ears Face Hair Holy Name Idra Raba Lips

170. Since the three constitute the beauty of the beard more than the rest, BECAUSE THEY DECORATE AND BEAUTIFY THE FACE, the Holy Name is written regarding them, as it is written, "Out of my distress I called upon Yah; YAH ANSWERED ME WITH LIBERATION. Hashem is on my side" (Tehilim 118:5-6). In the Idra Raba we explained that, "Out of my distress I called upon Yah," WHICH IS THE FIRST CHARACTERISTIC, refers to the place where the beard starts to expand, where the place is narrow, THAT IS, WHERE THE EXPANSE OF HAIR IS NARROW RATHER THAN WIDE, in front of the ears. And this is well, THAT IT IS CONSIDERED "OUT OF MY DISTRESS (HEB. METZAR)" BECAUSE IT IS A NARROW (HEB. TZAR) SPACE. BUT HERE IT SAYS IT REFERS TO THE HAIRS ABOVE THE LIPS.

170. וּבְגִין דְּהָנֵי תְּלָתָא אִינּוּן בְּיָקִירוּ דְּדִיקְנָא יַתִיר מִכֻּלְּהוּ, כְּתִיב בְּהוּ שְׁמָא קַדִישָׁא. דִּכְתִיב, מִן הַמֵּצַר קָרָאתִי יָהּ, יְיָ' לִי לֺֹא אִירָא. וְהָא דְּאוֹקִימְנָא בְּאִדָרָא, מִן הַמֵּצַר קָרָאתִי יָהּ, מֵאֲתָר דְּשָׁרֵי דִּיקְנָא לְאִתְפַּשְּׁטָא, דְּהוּא אֲתָר דָּחִיק מִקַּמֵּי אוּדְנִין, שַׁפִּיר הוּא.

Beard Ears Idra Raba

171. HE FURTHER BUILDS UP HIS ARGUMENT. In the Agadah book of Rav Yeba Saba he so said and explained that the beginning of the beard STARTS with supernal Chesed, as it is written, "Yours, Hashem, is the greatness, and the power (Heb. Gvurah) and the glory (Heb. Tiferet)..." (I Divrei Hayamim 29:11). BUT everything IS IN THE BEARD because so does THE BEARD start TO COME OUT, AS RAV YEBA SABA SAID, and the nine characteristics come out from the beard and from before the ears, AS SAID IN THE IDRA RABA that THE BEARD begins TO SHOW this way, BUT they do not stay that way except in another place as I explained.

171. וּבְסִפְרָא דְּאַגַדְתָּא דְּבֵי רַב יֵיבָא סָבָא, הָכִי אָמַר וְאוֹקִים, דְּשֵׁירוּתָא דְּדִיקְנָא מֵחֶסֶד עִלָּאָה, דִּכְתִיב, לְךָ יְיָ' הַגְּדוּלָה וְהַגְבוּרָה וְהַתִּפְאֶרֶת וְגוֹ.' וְכֺלָּא הוּא, וְהָכִי שָׁארֵי, וְתִשְׁעָה אִתְמַשְּׁכָן וְתַלְיָין בְּדִיקְנָא, וּמִקַּמֵּי אוּדְנִין, הָכִי שָׁארֵי, וְקִיּוּמָא לָא מִתְקַיְּימִין אֶלָּא בַּאֲתָר אָחֳרָא, כְּמָה דְּאוֹקִימְנָא.

Beard Hair Judgment Mazal Mercy Zeir Anpin

172. When the world is in need of mercy, the holy Mazal appears, WHICH IS THE BEARD OF ARICH ANPIN, AND THEN all the characteristics of the precious beard of Zeir Anpin are in a state of mercy. When it is in need of Judgment, Judgment appears, and then vengeance is wreaked on the enemies of Yisrael, those who distress YISRAEL. All the preciousness of the beard lies in those hanging hairs, THAT IS, THE VISIBLE EXPANSES OF THE BEARD, because everything emerges from them.

172. וְכַד אִצְטְרִיךְ עָלְמָא לְרַחֲמֵי, אִתְגַּלְיָיא מַזָּלָא קַדִישָׁא. וְכָל הָנֵי תִּקּוּנִין דִּבְדִּיקְנָא יַקִּירָא דִּזְעֵיר אַנְפִּין, כֻּלְּהוּ רַחֲמֵי מִשְׁתַּכְחֵי. וְכַד אִצְטְרִיךְ לְדִינָא, מִתְחַזְּיָיא דִּינָא, וּכְדֵין עַבְדִּין נוּקְמִין לְשַׂנְאֵיהוֹן דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל, לְאִינּוּן דְּעָקִין לְהוּ. כָּל יְקִירוּ דְּדִיקְנָא, בְּאִינּוּן שַׂעְרֵי דְּתַלְיָין אִינְהוּ, מִשּׁוּם דְּכֺלָּא בְּהַאי תַּלְיָין.

Beard Hair Head Judgment Mazal War Zeir Anpin

173. All the hairs of the beard of Zeir Anpin are coarse and strong, because they all compel Judgments when the holy Mazal appears. When it wishes to wage war, it appears by means of this beard as a strong mighty man victorious in war. Then some pluck the hair on the back of the head and some from the front of the head.

173. כָּל הָנֵי שַׂעְרֵי דְּדִיקְנָא דִּזְעֵיר אַנְפִין, כֻּלְּהוּ קְשִׁישִׁין תַּקִּיפִין, מִשּׁוּם דְּכֻלְּהוּ אַכְפְּיָין לְדִינִין, בְּשַׁעֲתָא דְּמַזָּלָא קַדִישָׁא אִתְגְּלֵי. וְכַד בָּעָא לְאַגָחָא קְרָבָא, בְּהַאי דִּיקְנָא אִתְחֲזֵי כְּגִבָּר תַּקִּיף, מָארֵי נַצְחָן קְרָבַיָּא. וּכְדֵין מָרִיט מַאן דְּמָרִיט, וְאַגְלִישׁ מַאן דְּאַגְלִישׁ.

Beard Judgment Light Mazal Mercy Moses Prayer Thirteen Zeir Anpin

174. Moses said these nine characteristics a second time IN THE PORTION OF SHELACH when he had to revert them all to mercy. For though he did not now recite the thirteen characteristics AS IN THE PORTION OF TISA it all depends on intention. For he would not mention these characteristics OF ZEIR ANPIN THAT ARE NOT PURELY MERCY, but intended Mazal, NAMELY THE THIRTEEN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BEARD OF ARICH ANPIN, and mentioned it, as it is written, "And now, I pray You, let the power of my Lord be great" (Bemidbar 14:17). What is "the power of Hashem"? It is that which is called the most concealed holy Mazal, THE BEARD OF ARICH ANPIN. The power and the light IN THE BEARD OF ZEIR ANPIN derive from Mazal. Once Moses said THE NINE CHARACTERISTICS OF ZEIR ANPIN and mentioned MAZAL CALLED THE POWER OF HASHEM, he spoke the nine characteristics deriving from Zeir Anpin so that they will all shine BY A DRAWING OF THE THIRTEEN OF ARICH ANPIN and there will be no Judgment evident, BECAUSE THE THIRTEEN OF ARICH ANPIN ARE WHOLLY OF MERCY. Hence everything depends on Mazal, WHICH IS THE BEARD OF ARICH ANPIN.
