Daughter Esther Evil Ground Hundred Marriage Punishment Shekels Shepherd Silver Spies Virgin Women

1. Ra'aya Meheimna (the Faithful Shepherd). "And they shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver..." (Devarim 22:19). We are commanded to punish whoever defames someone's character. This is the meaning of, "and they shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver, and give them to the father of the girl, because he has brought out an evil name upon a virgin of Yisrael." THE FAITHFUL SHEPHERD SAID, Sages, this applies to after the wedding, since he says, "I found not your daughter a virgin" (Ibid. 17). Not all evil names are alike, since the spies who spread an evil name on the land were punished for it by dying and not meriting it. A woman is like ground, WHICH IS WHY THE SPIES WERE CONSIDERED AS ONE DEFAMING THE CHARACTER OF A WOMAN. It is like the explanation that Esther was the ground.

1. (רעיא מהימנא) וְעָנְשׁוּ אוֹתוֹ מֵאָה כֶסֶף וְגוֹ.' פִּקּוּדָא דָּא, לָדוּן בְּדִין, מוֹצִיא שֵׁם רָע. הה"ד, וְעָנְשׁוּ אוֹתוֹ מֵאָה כֶסֶף וְנָתְנוּ לַאֲבִי הַנַּעֲרָה כִּי הוֹצִיא שֵׁם רָע עַל בְּתוּלַת יִשְׂרָאֵל. רַבָּנָן, וְהַאי אִיהוּ בָּתַר נִשּׁוּאִין, דְּאָמַר לָא מָצָאתִי לְבִתְּךָ בְּתוּלִים, וְלָאו כָּל שֵׁם רָע שָׁקוּל, דִּמְרַגְלִים דְּאַפִּיקוּ שׁוּם בִּישׁ עַל אַרְעָא, אִתְעֲנָשׁוּ בְּגִינָהּ, וּמִיתוּ וְלָא זָכוּ לָהּ. וְאִתְּתָא קַרְקַע אִיהִי בְּאַרְעָא, כְּמָה דְּאוּקְמוּהָ, אֶסְתֵּר קַרְקַע עוֹלָם הָיְתָה.

Ahasuerus Esther Evil Idolatry Praise Shechinah

2. You may say that Esther has a bad reputation BY SAYING that she was defiled with Ahasuerus, YET she was worthy that the Holy Spirit, WHICH IS MALCHUT, would be clothed in her as it is written, "Esther put on her royal apparel" (Ester 5:1). IN THAT CASE, YOU ARE BRINGING OUT AN EVIL NAME ON MALCHUT. Yet the Holy One, blessed be He, said, "I am Hashem, that is My name, and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to carved idols" (Yeshayah 42:8), WHICH IS THE SHECHINAH CALLED 'NAME,' 'GLORY' AND 'PRAISE.' The Holy Spirit is the Shechinah and is a name that was clothed with Esther. HOW CAN YOU SAY SHE WAS DEFILED WITH AHASUERUS?

2. וְאִי תֵּימְרוּן שׁוּם בִּישׁ עָלָהּ, דְּאִסְתְּאָבַת בַּאֲחַשְׁוֵרוֹשׁ, וְזָכְתָה לְאִתְלַבְּשָׁא בָּהּ רוּחָא דְּקֻדְשָׁא הה"ד וַתִּלְבַּשׁ אֶסְתֵּר מַלְכוּת. הָא אָמַר קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא, אֲנִי יְיָ' הוּא שְׁמִי וּכְבוֹדִי לְאַחֵר לֺֹא אֶתֵּן וּתְהִלָּתִי לַפְּסִילִים. וְרוּחָא דְּקֻדְשָׁא שְׁכִינְתָּא הֲוַת, דְּאִיהִי שֵׁם דְּאִתְלַבְּשַׁת בְּאֶסְתֵּר.

Ears Evil Food Klipot (Shells – Negativity) Light Precepts Shells (Klipot) Torah Tree Wheat

3. Yet sages, woe to those who eat the chaff and ears of corn of the Torah, THAT IS, WHOSE TORAH IS MIXED OF GOOD AND EVIL LIKE CHAFF AND EARS OF CORN THAT ARE A MIXTURE OF FOOD AND KLIPOT. Such a man knows nothing of the mysteries of the Torah, but only light and weighty precepts; the light is the chaff of the Torah, NAMELY THE REFUSE, and the weighty precepts of the Torah are wheat, WHICH CONTAINS BOTH FOOD AND REFUSE. CHET AND TET OF WHEAT (HEB. CHITAH) ARE THE REFUSE AND HEI IS GOOD. THIS IS THE SECRET OF the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, AS THE SAGES SAID THAT THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL WAS WHEAT.

Ass (Donkey) Chariot Congregation Donkeys Evil Form Habakkuk Horses Love Matron Merit Messiah, The Metatron Mishnah Pharaoh, The Redemption and Salvation Torah Tree Wheat

4. It is not the custom of the King and the Matron to ride a donkey (Heb. chamor), NAMELY THE LITERAL UNDERSTANDING (HEB. CHOMER) OF THE TORAH, WHICH IS WHEAT AND THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL AS MENTIONED. Instead they ride on horses, THE SECRET OF THE MYSTERIES OF THE TORAH. This is the meaning of, "you ride upon your horses, your chariots of salvation" (Chavakuk 3:8). For Malchut is not treated lightly so as to have the Queen ride on a donkey, and even more so the King, for it is no place for commoners and servants, THAT IS METATRON THAT IS CALLED A COMMONER AND A SERVANT, whose way is to ride a donkey. This is why it says of the Messiah, WHEN YISRAEL WILL HAVE NO MERIT, "humble (Heb. ani), and riding upon an donkey" (Zecharyah 9:9). Ani stands for the Mishnah orders of Eruvin, Nidah and Yevamot, THE INITIALS OF WHICH FORM 'ANI (ENG. 'POOR').' The rest of the orders of the Mishnah are comprised in these, WHICH INDICATES THAT AS LONG AS ONE DOES NOT KNOW THE MYSTERIES OF THE TORAH BUT ONLY THE REVEALED TORAH, ONE IS POOR IN KNOWLEDGE AND RIDING UPON AN DONKEY, WHICH IS THE ASPECT OF THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL. THE HOLY ONE, BLESSED BE HE, is not considered a King until He rides on His horse, which is the Congregation of Yisrael, NAMELY MALCHUT, ACCORDING TO THE SECRET OF, "I COMPARE YOU, O MY LOVE, TO A MARE OF THE CHARIOTS OF PHARAOH" (SHIR HASHIRIM 1:9), WHICH IS WHOLLY GOOD WITHOUT ANY EVIL.

4. לֵית דַּרְכָּא דְּמַלְכָּא וּמַטְרוֹנִיתָא, לְמִרְכַּב עַל חֲמָרָא, אֶלָּא עַל סוּסְוָון. הה"ד כִּי תִרְכַּב עַל סוּסֶיךָ מַרְכְּבוֹתֶיךָ יְשׁוּעָה. דְּאֵין מְזַלְזְלִין בְּמַלְכוּתָא, לְמִרְכַּב מַטְרוֹנִיתָא עַל חֲמָרָא. כ"ש מַלְכָּא, לֵית דֵּין אֲתָר הֶדְיוֹט עֶבֶד, דְּאָרְחֵיהּ לְמִרְכַּב עַל חֲמָרָא. וּבג"ד כְּתִיב בֵּיהּ בְּמָשִׁיחַ, עָנִי וְרוֹכֵב עַל חֲמוֹר. עָנִי אִיהוּ תַּמָּן בְּסִימָן, עֵרוּבִין נִדָּה יְבָמוֹת, וּשְׁאַר מַתְנִיתִין בִּכְלָל. וְלָא אִתְקְרֵי תַּמָּן מֶלֶךְ, עַד דְּרָכִיב בְּסוּסְיָא דִּילֵיהּ כְּנֶסֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל.

Ass (Donkey) Blessing Donkeys Evil Issachar Metatron Tree Well

5. The Holy One, blessed be He, outside His place is not a King. When He returns to His place, "Hashem shall be King" (Zecharyah 14:9). It is said of Yisrael as well that all Yisrael are princes. Like the father the children are not princes until they return to the land of Yisrael. You may say that he WHO RIDES A DONKEY is a commoner, AND HE ANSWERS, though he is a commoner in relation to his Master, do not treat lightly a blessing from a commoner, for this commoner is the servant Metatron, AND IT IS HE WHO RIDES THIS DONKEY. The first man, who did not keep the glory he was given BY EATING OF THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL, was brought down to eat together with his donkey, WHICH IS THE ASPECT OF THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL and he said TO THE HOLY ONE, BLESSED BE HE, I and my donkey shall eat from the same trough. Issachar merited this donkey by being called, "Issachar is a strong donkey" (Beresheet 49:14), BECAUSE HE SUBDUED THIS DONKEY CALLED A STRONG (HEB. GEREM) DONKEY BY BRINGING HIM DOWN THE STAIRCASE (HEB. GEREM).

Ahasuerus Esther Garments Heaven Joseph Klipot (Shells – Negativity) Matron Mishnah Shells (Klipot) Well

6. The sages who wrote the Mishnah SAID THAT it is said of the Matron, WHO IS MALCHUT, "and His kingdom rules over all" (Tehilim 103:19), SINCE SHE RULES OVER THE KLIPOT AS WELL. THEREFORE, after Esther put on THE ROYAL APPAREL, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SECRET OF THE VERSE, "ESTHER PUT ON HER ROYAL APPAREL (HEB. MALCHUT)," Esther ruled over Ahasuerus and his people, and it is said of them, "and slew of their foes" (Ester 9:16). If you say that AHASUERUS mated with her, heaven forbid. Though they were in the same house, SHE DID NOT MATE WITH HIM, but was like Joseph of whom it says, "And she laid up his garment (Heb. bigdo) by her" (Beresheet 39:16). The word bigdo is employed, which is derived from, "traitors have dealt treacherously (Heb. bagdu)" (Yeshayah 24:16). THIS IS HIS MOST OUTER ASPECT, WHICH THE KLIPOT CAN BE ATTACHED TO.

6. וְרַבָּנָן מָארֵי מָתְנִיתִין, מַטְרוֹנִיתָא אִתְּמַר בָּהּ וּמַלְכוּתוֹ בַּכֺּל מָשָׁלָה, בָּתַר דְּאִתְלַבְּשָׁא בֵּיהּ אֶסְתֵּר, שְׁלִיטַת אֶסְתֵּר עַל אֲחַשְׁוֵרוֹשׁ וְאוּמָתֵיהּ. וְאִתְּמַר בְּהוּ וְהָרוֹג בְּשׂוֹנְאֵיהֶם. וְאִי תֵּימָא דְּאִתְיָיחַד עִמָּהּ. אַף עַל גַּב דַּהֲווֹ בְּבֵיתָא חֲדָא, ח"ו. אֶלָּא, כְּגַוְונָא דְּיוֹסֵף, דְּאִתְּמַר בֵּיהּ, וַתַּנַח בִּגְדוֹ אֶצְלָהּ, וְלָא לְבוּשׁוֹ, אֶלָּא בִּגְדוֹ, לִישָׁנָא דְּבוֹגְדִים בָּגָדוּ.

Ahasuerus Demons Esther Female Mishnah Mordecai Seventy Shechinah Wisdom

7. There is a great mystery here, which is why 'Esther' is derived from mystery (Heb. seter), as it is written, "You are my hiding place (Heb. seter)" (Tehilim 32:7), since the Shechinah hid her from Ahasuerus and gave him a female demon instead while she returned to Mordechai's arm. And Mordechai, who knew the explicit Name and the seventy tongues, did all this with wisdom. This is why the sages of the Mishnah stated that even regardless of this, a man must speak with his wife before he mates with her, because she might have been exchanged with a female demon.

7. וְהָכָא סִתְרָא רַבְרְבָא. וּבְגִין דָּא, אֶסְתֵּר: לִישָׁנָא דְּסִתְרָאָהּ, אַתָּה סֵתֶר לִי, שְׁכִינְתָּא אַסְתִּירַת לָהּ מֵאֲחַשְׁוֵרוֹשׁ, וְיָהִיב לֵיהּ שֵׁידָה בְּאַתְרָהּ, וְאִתְהַדְּרַת אִיהִי בִּדְרוֹעֵיהּ דְּמָרְדְּכַי. וּמָרְדְּכַי דַּהֲוָה יָדַע שְׁמָא מְפֺרָשׁ, וְשַׁבְעִין לָשׁוֹן, עֲבַד כָּל דָּא בְּחָכְמְתָא. וּבְגִין דָּא אוּקְמוּהָ מָארֵי מַתְנִיתִין, דַּאֲפִילּוּ בְּלָא דָּא, אִית לֵיהּ לְב"נ קוֹדֶם דְּיִתְיָחֵד עִם אִתְּתֵיהּ, לְמַלְּלָא עִמָּהּ, בְּגִין דְּשֶׁמָא שֵׁידָה אִתְחַלְּפָא בְּאִתְּתֵיהּ.

Angels Esther Pharaoh, The Sarah Shechinah

9. Wherever the Shechinah is, there are many special attributes. Hence, since the Shechinah was clothed in her, Esther was worthy of having special things done to her like Sarah, whom the Holy One, blessed be He, kept, and since the Shechinah was with her He kept her from Pharaoh. The Holy One, blessed be He even made her clothes and jewels have special qualities due to the Shechinah that was with her. For that reason, when Pharaoh came to TOUCH her sandal, THE ANGEL struck him with it, and the same happened with all her jewelry. Each jewel he would touch struck him until that defiled one left her and brought her back to her husband.

9. וּבְאַתְרָא דִּשְׁכִינְתָּא תַּמָּן, כַּמָה סְגוּלוֹת תַּמָּן. וּבְגִין דְּאֶסְתֵּר אִתְלַבְּשַׁת שְׁכִינְתָּא בָּהּ, חַזְיָא הֲוַת לְמֶעְבַּד עִמָּהּ כַּמָה סְגוּלוֹת. כְּגַוְונָא דְּשָׂרָה, קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא נָטִיר לָהּ, בְּגִין שְׁכִינְתָּא דַּהֲוַת עִמָּהּ, נָטִיר לָהּ מִפַּרְעֺה, וַאֲפִילּוּ לְבוּשָׁהּ וְתַכְשִׁיטֶיהָ בְּכֻלְּהוּ שַׁוֵּי קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא סְגוּלוֹת, בְּגִין שְׁכִינְתָּא. וּבְגִין דָּא, אָתָא פַּרְעֺה לְסַנְדָּלָא, מָחָא לֵיהּ עִמֵּיהּ. וְהָכִי נָמֵי בְּכָל תַּכְשִׁיטִין דִּילָהּ. בְּכָל תַּכְשִׁיט וְתַכְשִׁיט דַּהֲוָה נָגַע בֵּיהּ, מָחֵי לֵיהּ, עַד דְּאִתְפְּרַשׁ מִנָּהּ הַהוּא טָמֵא, וְאַחְזָר לָהּ לְבַעְלָהּ.

Evil Eyes Punishment Shechinah Soul, The Spies Suicide

11. For that reason not every SPREADING OF an evil name is the same. The spies who defamed the land of Yisrael died. Those who speak ill of the Shechinah are most certainly struck in their souls, for those who spoke ill about the land were struck bodily and committed suicide. But whoever defames the Shechinah, his soul is stricken. This applies to whoever knows this secret OF BRINGING OUT AN EVIL NAME ON THE SHECHINAH, and whose eyes are open. But a person whose eyes are shut is not punished as severely.

11. וּבְגִין דָּא, לָא כָּל ש"ר שָׁקוּל. מְרַגְּלִים דְּאַפִּיקוּ שׁוּם בִּישׁ עַל אַרְעָא דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל מִיתוּ. מַאן דְּאַפִּיק שׁוּם בִּישׁ עַל שְׁכִינְתָּא, כָּל שֶׁכֵּן דְּלַקְיָין בְּנִשְׁמָתְהוֹן. דְּאִלֵּין דְּאַפִּיקוּ שׁוּם בִּישׁ עַל אַרְעָא, לָקוּ בְּגוּפַיְיהוּ, וּמִיתַת גַּרְמַיְיהוּ מִיתוּ. אֲבָל מַאן דְּאַפִּיק שׁוּם בִּישׁ עַל שְׁכִינְתָּא, נִשְׁמְתָא דִּלְהוֹן לָקְאָהּ. וְהַאי לְמַאן דְּיָדַע רָזָא דָּא, וְעֵינוֹי פַּתְחִין. אֲבָל מַאן דְּעֵינוֹי סְתִימִין, לֵית לֵיהּ עוֹנְשָׁא כָּל כַּךְ.

Evil Mishnah Pharaoh, The Rape Righteous Sarah Tree Tree of Life Well Women

12. As for what the sages of the Mishnah said to them that a raped wife is permitted to remain with her husband, permission and prohibition in the Mishnah speak only of human matters and a woman who is from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. But the case of a woman who is from the Tree of Life is not as that of those FROM THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL, since whoever is from the Tree of Life is a righteous person with whom things are well. Of him it is said, "No evil shall happen to the just" (Mishlei 12:21), nor to his just wife. We learned that from Sarah in the house of Pharaoh - that he had no permission to come near her.

12. וּמַה דְּרַבָּנָן דְּמַתְנִיתִין שַׁוְיָין קַמַּיְיהוּ, דְּאִתְּתָא אֲנוּסָה מוּתֶּרֶת לְבַעְלָהּ. וַדַּאי אִיסוּר וְהֶיתֵּר דְּמַתְנִיתִין לָא מְמַלֵּל אֶלָּא בְּמִילֵיהּ דְּב"נ, וְאִתְּתָא דְּאִיהִי מֵאִילָנָא דְּעֵץ הַדַּעַת טוֹב וָרָע. אֲבָל אִתְּתָא דְּאִיהִי מֵאִילָנָא דְּחַיֵּי, לָאו לָהּ דִּינָא כְּאִלֵּין, דְּהַהוּא דְּאִילָנָא דְּחַיֵּי, צַדִּיק וְטוֹב לוֹ. וּבְגִינֵיהּ אִתְּמַר, לֺֹא יְאוּנֶּה לַצַּדִּיק כָּל אָוֶן, וְלָא לְבַת זוּגוֹ צַדֶּקֶת. וְאוֹלִיפְנָא מִשָׂרָה בְּבֵיתָא דְּפַרְעֺה, דְּלָא הֲוָה לֵיהּ רְשׁוּ לְמִקְרַב בַּהֲדָהּ.

Death Death and the Afterlife Earth Evil Evil Inclination Good Inclination Idolatry Rape Righteous Samael Sin Soul, The Tree Well Wicked Wickedness Women

13. Whoever is righteous but for whom things go badly, namely, he who is from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, since there is evil PRESENT with him, "For there is not a just man upon earth who...never sins" (Kohelet 7:20). As for an evil man for whom things go well, it is that the Evil Inclination overpowered his Good Inclination. HENCE they said that it is well with him, because the good is under the power OF THE EVIL MAN. And since the evil dominates the good, he is an evil man, since whoever is stronger receives the name. IF THE GOOD OVERCOMES THE EVIL, HE IS CALLED A RIGHTEOUS MAN THAT IT IS EVIL WITH HIM, SINCE EVIL IS UNDER HIS POWER. IF EVIL OVERCOMES GOOD HE IS CALLED AN EVIL MAN THAT IT IS WELL WITH HIM, SINCE GOOD IS UNDER HIS POWER. An evil man with whom things are evil is another El, who is Samael. It is evil with him, namely the poison of death, which is idol worshiping, OF WHICH IT IS WRITTEN, "Evil shall slay the wicked" (Tehilim 34:22). For that reason a raped WOMAN is considered so only if that soul has a mixture of good and evil.

13. וּמַאן דְּאִיהוּ צַדִּיק וְרָע לוֹ, הַאי דְּאִיהוּ מֵאִילָנָא דְּטוֹב וָרָע, דְּכֵיוָן דְּרָע עִמֵּיהּ, אֵין צַדִּיק אֲשֶׁר לֺֹא יֶחֱטָא בְּהַהוּא רָע, בָּתַר דְּאִיהוּ עִמֵּיהּ. רָשָׁע וְטוֹב לוֹ, דְּאִתְגַּבָּר יֵצֶר הָרָע עַל יֵצֶר טוֹב, אִתְּמַר וְטוֹב לוֹ, טוֹב אִיהוּ תְּחוֹת רְשׁוּתֵיהּ, וּבְגִין דְּרָע שַׁלִּיט עַל טוֹב, רָשָׁע אִיהוּ, דְּהַהוּא דְּאִתְגַּבָּר נָטִיל שְׁמָא. רָשָׁע וְרָע לוֹ, אֵל אַחֵר סָמָאֵל, וְרָע לוֹ, סַם הַמָּוֶת דִּילֵיהּ עכו"ם, תְּמוֹתֵת רָשָׁע רָעָה. וּבג"ד, אֲנוּסָה לָאו אִיהִי, אֶלָּא אִי אִית בָּהּ תַּעֲרוֹבֶת בְּהַהִיא נִשְׁמְתָא, דְּטוֹב וָרָע.

Bride Daughter Eyes Head Hebrew Letters Moses Sinai Stone Tablets Testimony Torah Virgin

14. When the Torah was given, her tablets that were likened to virginity were broken. JUST AS VIRGINITY IS A TESTIMONY TO THE VIRGIN'S HONESTY, SO THE TABLETS THAT WERE GIVEN BEFORE THE EYES OF ALL YISRAEL WERE A TESTIMONY TO THE WHOLE TORAH. And the Holy One, blessed be He, again gave her to Yisrael to keep her. And the oral Torah is called Halachah given to Moses on Sinai. MOSES WAS THEREFORE CALLED THE BRIDEGROOM OF THE TORAH. And the groom of the Torah broke her virginity, WHICH IS THE FIRST SET OF TABLETS. Whoever speaks ill of her and says that Torah is not LIKE THE FIRST ONE, since her tablets were broken, the Holy One, blessed be He, will speak to him, who is the girl's father, NAMELY OF that daughter who is IMPLIED in the word Beresheet (In the beginning), SINCE BERESHEET IS SPELLED WITH THE LETTERS OF 'BAT ROSHI (ENG. 'THE DAUGHTER OF MY HEAD'),' TO INDICATE THAT THE TORAH IS the King's daughter. THEN the Holy One, blessed be He, spoke: "And they shall spread the cloth" (Devarim 22:17), and the parchment of the Torah scroll unfolds, and they shall see that it is written in it, "Hew for yourself two tablets of stone like the first, and I will write upon these tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you did break" (Shemot 34:1).

Abraham Bride Daughter Elijah Shabbat Shepherd Torah

16. ELIJAH opened and said, Faithful Shepherd, the Holy One, blessed be He gave this bride of yours, NAMELY MALCHUT to Abraham to bring up for you. And since he kept her she is called his daughter. This is what is meant by the saying that Abraham had a daughter whose name was 'Bakol (Eng. 'in all').' By her he observed the whole Torah even to the Eruv Tavshilin (an action allowing one to cook on holiday for Shabbat). This is the meaning of, "and kept My charge" (Beresheet 26:5). And he brought her up, as it is written, "And he brought up Hadassa" (Ester 2:7). And the Holy One, blessed be He, blessed him for her sake, as it is written, "and Hashem had blessed Abraham in all things (Heb. bakol)" (Beresheet 24:1). He brought her up with every good virtue and was charitable to her. He raised her to greatness, with the quality of kindness (Chesed) of Abraham. His house was, for her sake, wide open to do kindness to all the people of the world.

Abraham Bride Egypt Esau Ishmael Mercy Seventy Seventy-Two Shepherd Thirteen Thirteen Attributes of Mercy

17. Since he was kind to her, when Abraham's children were exiled because of their many iniquities in Egypt, the Holy One, blessed be He, said, 'Faithful Shepherd, go and be kind to him who did kindness by you, since I gave him your bride, WHO IS MALCHUT, to raise with good qualities.' And he raised her BY DRAWING HER thirteen attributes of mercy implied in the three words, Vav Hei Vav, Aleph Nun Yud, Vav Hei Vav, which are THE INITIALS OF Vav, since the 72 names are comprehended in them AS THE FIRST OF THE 72 NAMES IS VAV HEI VAV, THE MIDDLE ONE IS ALEPH NUN YUD AND TOWARDS THE END IS THE SECOND VAV HEI VAV. 72 IS the numerical value of Chesed, with which Abraham overcame the 72 nations, WHICH ARE THE SEVENTY NATIONS, ESAU AND ISHMAEL. Through your bride, NAMELY MALCHUT, he had a special property through the 72 names AFTER MALCHUT RECEIVED THEM, and he overcame every nation and tongue.

17. וּבְגִין דְּאִיהוּ גָּמִיל חֶסֶד עִמָּהּ, כַּד בְּנוֹי דְּאַבְרָהָם הֲווֹ מְמוּשְׁכָּנִין בְּכַמָּה חוֹבִין בְּמִצְרַיִם, אָמַר קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא לָךְ רַעְיָא מְהֵימָנָא, זִיל וְגָמִיל טִיבוּ, לְמַאן דְּגָמִיל לֵיהּ עִמָּךְ, דְּדָא כַּלָּה דִּילָךְ, יְהִיבַת לָהּ לֵיהּ, לְגַדְּלָא לָהּ בְּמִדּוֹת טָבִין, וְאִיהוּ גָּדִיל לָהּ בִּתְלֵיסָר מְכִילָן דְּרַחֲמֵי, דִּרְמִיזִין בִּתְלַת תֵּיבִין וָה"וּ אֲנִ"י וָה"וּ, דְּאִינּוּן וָא"ו. דְּכָלִיל בְּהוֹן ע"ב שְׁמָהָן, כְּמִנְיַן חֶסֶד. דִּבְהוֹן הֲוָה אִתְגַּבָּר אַבְרָהָם עַל ע"ב אוּמִין וּבְכַלָּה דִּילָךְ, הֲוָה לֵיהּ סְגוּלָה בְּע"ב שְׁמָהָן, וַהֲוָה נָצַח לְכָל אוּמָה וְלִישָׁן.

Abraham Bride Egypt Egyptians Hands Merit Moses Seas Torah Twelve Water Zeir Anpin

18. For that reason IT IS WRITTEN, "That caused His glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses" (Yeshayah 63:12), WHICH IS MALCHUT, and "dividing the water" (Ibid.) by tearing the water into twelve pieces, the numerical value of Vav Vav. And by merit of Aleph IN THE FULLY SPELLED VAV (VAV ALEPH VAV) THAT INDICATES THE ILLUMINATION OF BINAH, You turned the sea into dry land. In it the Egyptians drowned, who did not believe in the Vav, WHICH IS ZEIR ANPIN, which is THE NUMERICAL VALUE OF one. In the future to come it will be fulfilled in Yisrael, the seed of Abraham, "As in the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt I will show him marvelous things" (Michah 7:15). In you it shall be fulfilled, "That caused His glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses, dividing the water" of the Torah, to make yourself, "an everlasting name" (Yeshayah 63:12). There you shall attain your bride.

Abraham Blessing Bride Cup Daughter Hebrew Letters Isaac Moses Sinai Tetragrammaton Throne Yud Hei Vav Hei (YHVH) Zeir Anpin

19. Since this daughter, NAMELY MALCHUT, was given to Yisrael, it is your Halachah from the left side, Halachah attributed to Moses from Sinai, SINCE HALACHAH IS SPELLED WITH THE SAME LETTERS AS 'THE BRIDE (HEB. HAKALAH).' For on the right side, your Halachah is the letter Hei, NAMELY HEI from the side of the name Abraham, AND IT IS Yud from THE SIDE OF THE NAME Isaac. And everything is Hei Yud of THE NAME Elohim. And you are Vav, SINCE MOSES IS THE ASPECT OF ZEIR ANPIN, WHICH IS VAV, which is the full spelling of MALCHUT and her perfection. AND SHE IS CALLED a full cup. For at first she was the throne of Yud Hei, IN WHICH 'THRONE' (HEB. KES, CAF SAMECH) HAS NO VAV AND THE NAME YUD HEI IS WITHOUT VAV HEI. At the end it is a cup (Heb. kos, Caf Vav Samech) full of the blessing of Yud Hei Vav Hei, SINCE THE CUP IS FULL AND THE NAME IS COMPLETE.

19. וּבְגִין דְּבַת דָּא, אִתְיְיהִיבַת לְיִשְׂרָאֵל, דְּאִיהִי הֲלָכָה דִּילָךְ, מִסִּטְרָא דִּשְׂמָאלָא, הֲלָכָה לְמֺשֶׁה מִסִּינַי. דְּהָא מִסִּטְרָא דִּימִינָא, ה' הֲלָכָה דִּילָךְ, מִסִּטְרָא דִּשְׁמָא דְּאַבְרָהָם. י' דְּיִצְחָק. וְכֺלָּא הֵ"י מִן אֱלֹהִים. וְאַנְתְּ וָא"ו, מָלֵא דִּילָהּ, שְׁלֵימוּת דִּילָהּ, כּוֹס מָלֵּא. בְּקַדְמֵיתָא כֵּ"ס יָ"הּ, וּלְבַסּוֹף כּוֹס מָלֵּא בִּרְכַּת יְיָ.'

Abraham Evil Garments Isaac Mah (What) Moses Pillar Redemption and Salvation Shabbat Tree What (Mah)

20. And since MALCHUT was given through you to Yisrael, who are the Central Pillar THAT INCLUDES RIGHT AND LEFT it behooves us to reveal why it was given them. For surely we learned why she was given to Abraham, BECAUSE HE DREW ON HER THE ATTRIBUTE OF CHESED, and you were kind (bestowing Chesed) to his children just as he was kind to you. And the Holy One, blessed be He, gave her to Isaac, to him and his descendants to keep her from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. And they made her some boundaries and cut for her some garments, golden garments with some laws. And they used to disagree and ask questions regarding these laws, to supply them with explanations, to decorate her with many decorations for Shabbat and holidays, to redeem her at the last redemption, as it says of her, "That (Heb. mah) which has been (Heb. shehayah), it is (Heb. hu)" (Kohelet 1:9) (making the initials of Moses). (THE CONTINUATION IS MISSING)

Evil Ezekiel Face Idolatry Jeroboam Joseph Messiah, The Ox Sin Suffering

21. Since they brought it on you and did good things for you, you have suffered for their sakes many troubles so that Messiah, the son of Joseph, shall not be killed, of whom it says, "the face of an ox on the left side" (Yechezkel 1:10), who is a descendant of Joseph, of whom it says, "The firstling of his herd, grandeur is his" (Devarim 33:17). That is because he and his descendants shall not be violated among the heathen nations because of the sin of Jeroboam who worshipped idols, for which he and his seed were to be violated among the idol worshiping nations. For Jeroboam the son of Nebat is a descendant of Joseph and it is because of him that it says of you, "But he was wounded because of our transgressions...and by his injury we are healed" (Yeshayah 53:5).

21. וּבְגִין דְּאִינּוּן גָּרְמוּ לָךְ, וַעֲבִידוּ עִמָּךְ טָבִין, אַנְתְּ סְבִילַת בְּגִינַיְיהוּ כַּמָה מַכְתְּשִׁין, בְּגִין דְּלָא יִתְקְטִיל מָשִׁיחַ בֶּן יוֹסֵף, דְּאִתְּמַר בֵּיהּ וּפְנֵי שׁוֹר מֵהַשְּׂמֺאל, מִזַּרְעָא דְּיוֹסֵף, דְּאִתְּמַר בֵּיהּ בְּכוֹר שׁוֹרוֹ הָדָר לוֹ. וּבְגִין דְּלָא יִתְחַלֵּל הוּא וְזַרְעֵיהּ בֵּין עכו"ם, בְּחוֹבֵיהּ דְּיָרָבְעָם דַּעֲבַד ע"ז, הֲוָה הוּא לְאִתְחַלְּלָא בעכו"ם הוּא וְזַרְעֵיהּ, בְּגִין דְּיָרָבְעָם בֶּן נְבָט מִזַּרְעֵיהּ אִיהוּ, בְּגִינֵיהּ אִתְּמַר בָּךְ, וְהוּא מְחוֹלָל מִפְּשָׁעֵינוּ וְגוֹ,' וּבַחֲבוּרָתוֹ נִרְפָּא לָנוּ.

Converts Evil Golden Calf Virgin

23. Where is the evil name you brought upon her? After MALCHUT was given to Yisrael, whoever brings out an evil name on Yisrael is as one who brings out an evil name on MALCHUT. And the evil name was in what you said to the Holy One, blessed be He, "Hashem, why does Your wrath burn against Your people" (Shemot 32:11), NAMELY YISRAEL, and the Holy One, blessed be He, said, 'because you spoke ill on Yisrael when they made the golden calf.' "Go, get you down; for your people...have become corrupt" (Ibid. 7), NAMELY YOUR PEOPLE, who are the mixed multitudes whom you converted and who made the golden calf. And therefore, "because he has brought out an evil name upon a virgin of Yisrael," THEN, "she shall be his wife" AS WE SAID.

23. וְאֵיךְ הוּא שֵׁם רָע דְּאַפִּיקַת עַלָהּ. אֶלָּא בָּתַר דְּאִתְיְיהִיבַת אִיהִי לְיִשְׂרָאֵל, כָּל מַאן דְּאַפִּיק שׁוּם בִּישׁ עַל יִשְׂרָאֵל, כְּאִילּוּ אַפִּיק עָלָהּ. וְשׁוּם בִּישׁ הֲוָה, דְּאַמָרְת לְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא, לָמָה יְיָ' יֶחֱרֶה אַפְּךָ בְּעַמֶּךָ. וְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא אָמַר, וְכִי אַנְתְּ אַפִּיק שׁוּם בִּישׁ עַל יִשְׂרָאֵל דְּעַבְדּוּ יַת עֶגֶל, לֵךְ רֵד כִּי שִׁחֵת עַמְּךָ. עֶרֶב רַב וַדַּאי, דְּאַנְתְּ גַּיְירַת לוֹן עַבְדוּ יַת עֶגְלָא. וּבְגִין דָּא כִּי הוֹצִיא שֵׁם רָע עַל בְּתוּלַת יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלוֹ תִהְיֶה לְאִשָּׁה.

Aaron Amen Angels Blessing Elazar Elijah Eyes Face Head Pinchas Precepts Priests Shechinah Shepherd Ten Yeshivah

24. The Faithful Shepherd rose and kissed him, ELIJAH, on his face and his eyes and blessed him. And he said to him, may you be blessed by the mouth of the Holy One, blessed be He, and His Shechinah, by each of His attributes and His ten Sfirot and all His names and all the heads of Yeshivah and all the angels. And they all answered and said Amen. And the Holy One, blessed be He, and His Shechinah acknowledged his blessing. Elijah, rise, open your mouth regarding the precepts with me, because you are my assistant in every aspect, for it first says of you, "Pinchas, the son of Elazar, the son of Aaron the priest" (Bemidbar 25:11), BECAUSE PINCHAS IS ELIJAH. Surely he is the son of Aaron, my nephew, as it is written, "and a brother is born for adversity" (Mishlei 17:17).
