57. "At the commandment of Hashem they remained encamped, and at the commandment of Hashem they journeyed: they kept the charge of Hashem." (Bemidbar 9:23). THIS VERSE CONTAINS THREE NAMES OF YUD HEI VAV HEI, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE THREE YUD'S MENTIONED ABOVE, since each Yud has four faces, MEANING FOUR LETTERS OF YUD HEI VAV HEI. THIS IS THE SECRET OF THE TWELVE BOUNDARIES THAT CONTAIN ALL PERFECTION, WHICH ARE THE FOUR LETTERS OF YUD HEI VAV HEI, CHESED, GVURAH, TIFERET AND MALCHUT. WITHIN EACH ONE, THERE ARE THREE YUD'S; THAT IS, THREE COLUMNS FOR A TOTAL OF TWELVE. HE EXPLAINS FURTHER: There are three living creatures corresponding to the three Yud's, MEANING THE THREE COLUMNS CALLED 'LION,' 'OX' AND 'EAGLE.' And there are four aspects to each living creature, THAT IS, TO EACH COLUMN in accordance with the four aspects of Yud Hei Vav Hei, MEANING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOUR LETTERS OF YUD HEI VAV HEI, WHICH ARE CHESED, GVURAH, TIFERET AND MALCHUT, THE TWELVE BOUNDARIES. "At the commandment of Hashem they remained encamped, and at the commandment of Hashem they journeyed," THAT IS, IN HARMONY WITH THE PERFECTION OF THE TWELVE BOUNDARIES.
58. AFTER THE THREE YUD HEI VAV HEI: "AT THE COMMANDMENT OF HASHEM...AT THE COMMANDMENT OF HASHEM...THE CHARGE OF HASHEM." IT SAYS, "they kept," which is the Shechinah THAT RECEIVES FROM THESE THREE COLUMNS THAT ARE THE SECRET OF THE TWELVE BOUNDARIES. IT IS INDICATED IN THE WORDS "THEY KEPT," SINCE She keeps all those who keep the Shabbatot and holidays. Therefore, the Shechinah has not moved from Yisrael all the Shabbatot and holidays. This is true even on Shabbatot that are not on festive days, only She is shut up and closed in them, MEANING THAT SHE DOES NOT BESTOW PLENTY ON THE LOWER BEINGS. THAT IS NOT THE CASE ON SHABBATOT THAT OCCUR ON HOLIDAYS, WHEN HER PLENTY IS POURED IN GREAT ABUNDANCE.
59. At every prayer, she, MALCHUT, ascends to Yud Hei Vav Hei, THAT IS ZEIR ANPIN, until it reaches the Chariot of the Supreme Patriarchs, who are Chesed, Gvurah and Tiferet, which contain the twelve countenances corresponding to the twelve tribes. This is BECAUSE EACH ONE OF CHESED, GVURAH, AND TIFERET INCORPORATES FOUR COUNTENANCES, CHESED, GVURAH, TIFERET AND MALCHUT, TOTALING TWELVE. According to her, MALCHUT advocates merits for all those who pray and have earned merits in each and every precept in the Torah. So they "remained encamped" over their merits and so they "journeyed" to their merits. Thus the "charge" is going down to them.
60. HE EXPLAINS HIS WORDS: For those who produce merits in order to receive a reward, MEANING WAGE RECOMPENSE, the Holy One, blessed be He, comes down in the Chariot of the servant, THAT IS METATRON, and with His four guards, THAT ARE MICHAEL, GABRIEL, URIEL AND RAPHAEL. But for whoever produces merits not for the sake of receiving a reward, He descends in His own Chariot. To the wicked, He descends upon them with their deeds, with demons, harmful spirits, and destructive angels with the Chariot, in order to have revenge upon them. The scholars of the Mishnah said: Certainly it is so. Praised is your lot, Faithful Shepherd. End of Ra'aya Meheimna (the Faithful Shepherd).
