"And Moses erected the Tabernacle"

Synopsis

Rabbi Shimon discusses the verse: "In that day will I raise up the Tabernacle of David that is fallen," and talks about how Moses raised the Tabernacle as if lifting someone who has fallen. He tells us that God lifted up Yisrael from the exile in Egypt. While God did not perform miracles to raise up Yisrael from the exile in Babylon, he will do so in future. Rabbi Shimon talks about the Tabernacle that Moses built and the upper Tabernacle (Binah) that Zeir Anpin built, saying that Zeir Anpin is the grade of Moses. We hear of the three aspects that went into the erection of the Tabernacle and how they subdued the Other Side. He turns to "and fastened its sockets," explaining that when the sockets were fastened Samael was flushed out and fled to hide himself in a hole in the dust. 'In that day' refers to the day that God will judge the world. Rabbi Shimon tells us how the ruins of the Tabernacle will be raised on that day and the breach against the wicked will be repaired. God will build the foundations of Jerusalem with sapphires because sapphires are full of the highest illumination and provide a firm foundation that the other nations will not be able to rule over. At that time a supernal illumination will be added to the sapphires as well. The original stones from the foundations of Zion and Jerusalem were hidden and treasured by God, and He will restore them to the new foundations. The Angel of Death will be swallowed up just as he swallowed the people for all these years. Rabbi Shimon tells us that when Moses fastened the sockets in the Tabernacle he bound the evil Samael up so he could not move. Rabbi Shimon tells Rabbi Yosi about "the heaven is My throne, and the earth is my footstool," saying that they are the firmaments where Jacob lives and the firmament where King David lives. He explains the difference between a Tabernacle and a Temple or house, emphasizing that a Tabernacle travels from place to place, it is not an eternal resting place, it is a secret small place. We learn why Moses withdrew from the construction of the Tabernacle and why Betzalel and Aholiav built it, and are told that Moses is still considered to be the builder since he finished it.

David Moses Other Side Tabernacle Temple, The

370. Come and see: When the Temple was built and erected, the Other Side was subdued, and departed from the world. When it left the world, and the Tabernacle was raised by Moses, it was raised above and below. This is the meaning of "Moses erected (lit. 'raised') the Tabernacle" (Shemot 40:18). "Raised" means that he raised MALCHUT so she would rise up high. Therefore scripture says, "and Moses erected"; he raised what was low, as if lifting someone who fell. In the same manner it is written of the future, "In that day will I raise up the Tabernacle of David that is fallen" (Amos 9:11).

Babel Babylon Egypt Exile Jerusalem Miracle Sin Women

371. It is written, "The virgin of Yisrael is fallen; she shall no more rise" (Amos 5:2). HE ASKS: What is the meaning of "she shall no more rise"? HE ANSWERS: She rose on another time on her own and not raised by the Holy One, blessed be He. For from the exile in Egypt, she was raised by the Holy One, blessed be He, who performed many miracles in order to raise her. In exile in Babylon, THE HOLY ONE, BLESSED BE HE did not raise her. He did not perform miracles, because of the sin. So MALCHUT rose on her own, and the exiles went up TO JERUSALEM, as if they were not redeemed, and as if the Holy One, blessed be He had no interest in them. That was because they sinned with foreign women.

372. Therefore, the Holy One, blessed be He did not raise the Congregation of Yisrael, nor performed miracles and mighty deeds as fit at that time, WHEN THEY RETURNED FROM BABYLON. But in the future, it is written, "she shall no more rise," namely, on her own LIKE AFTER THE EXILE IN BABYLON, but the Holy One, blessed be He will raise her, as it is written, "In that day will I raise up the Tabernacle of David that is fallen" and "David their king, whom I will raise up for them" (Yirmeyah 30:9). That is why it is written, "and Moses erected the Tabernacle," MEANING THAT THE HOLY ONE, BLESSED BE HE ERECTED THE TABERNACLE. FOR MOSES IS A CHARIOT TO ZEIR ANPIN, AND AS MOSES ERECTED THE TABERNACLE BELOW, SO DID THE HOLY ONE, BLESSED BE HE ERECT THE TABERNACLE, WHICH IS MALCHUT, ABOVE.

372. וע"ד, קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא לָא אוֹקִים לָהּ לִכְנֶסֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְלָא עָבֵד לָהּ נִסִּין וּגְבוּרָאן בְּהַהוּא זִמְנָא כַּדְקָא יֵאוֹת. אֲבָל לְזִמְנָא דְּאָתֵי, לֹֹא תוֹסִיף קוּם כְּתִיב, לָא תּוֹסִיף, קוּם מִגַּרְמָהּ, אֶלָּא קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא יוֹקִים לָהּ, דִּכְתִּיב אָקִים אֶת סוּכַּת דָּוִד הַנּוֹפֶלֶת. וּכְתִיב וְאֵת דָּוִד מַלְכָּם אֲשֶׁר אָקִים לָהֶם. וּבְגִין כַּךְ כְּתִיב הָכָא, וַיָּקֶם מֹשֶׁה אֶת הַמִּשְׁכָּן. וַיָּקֶם מֹשֶׁה וְגוֹ'.

Grades Moses Strength Tabernacle Zeir Anpin

373. Come and see: When Moses erected the Tabernacle, another one was erected at the same time, NAMELY, MALCHUT. The upper Tabernacle, WHICH IS BINAH, establishes and supports everything, because it is concealed and stored high above, and another Tabernacle, MALCHUT, was erected above the Tabernacle below, THAT MOSES ERECTED, and stood upon it by the strength of the Tabernacle superior to all, BINAH. As the Tabernacle below was erected by Moses, so the one above, MALCHUT, was erected by the grade of Moses, ZEIR ANPIN. From where do we know that? From the verse, "and Moses erected the Tabernacle," the particle 'Et' (lit. 'the') indicating that two Tabernacles were established by the secret of Moses, THE ONE BELOW, AND THE ONE ABOVE, WHICH IS MALCHUT, WHICH WAS ALSO BUILT BY THE GRADE OF MOSES, WHICH IS ZEIR ANPIN.

373. ת"ח, כַּד אוֹקִים לֵיהּ מֹשֶׁה לְמַשְׁכְּנָא, אִתְּקַם מַשְׁכְּנָא אַחֲרָא עִמֵּיהּ. וּמַשְׁכְּנָא עִלָּאָה, אוֹקִים וְסָעִיד כֹּלָּא, בְּגִין דְּמַשְׁכְּנָא עִלָּאָה, סָתִים וְגָנִיז אִיהוּ לְעֵילָּא לְעֵילָּא. וּמַשְׁכְּנָא אַחֲרָא אִתְּקַם עַל מַשְׁכְּנָא דִּלְתַתָּא וְקַיְּימָא עָלֵּיהּ, בְּחֵילָא דְּהַהוּא מַשְׁכְּנָא עִלָּאָה עַל כֹּלָּא. וְכַמָּה דְּאִתְּקַם מַשְׁכְּנָא דִּלְתַתָּא עַל יְדָא דְּמֹשֶׁה, אוּף הָכִי לְעֵילָּא, ע"י דְּהַהוּא דַּרְגָּא דְּמֹשֶׁה. מְנָלָן. דִּכְתִּיב, וַיָּקֶם מֹשֶׁה אֶת הַמִּשְׁכָּן. אֶת דַּיְיקָא, לְאִתְחֲזָּאָה דִּתְרֵי מַשְׁכְּנִין בְּרָזָא דְּמֹשֶׁה אִתְּקָנוּ.

374. Rabbi Yosi said: When "Moses erected" not all was yet made, FOR THE FOLLOWING VERSE SAYS, "AND FASTENED ITS SOCKETS..." (SHEMOT 40:18). There is no raising up until all is completed and the parts intertwined. Why then is it written "erected"? Rabbi Yitzchak said: Moses erected the Tabernacle on three sides. The words "and Moses erected the Tabernacle" IMPLY THE CENTRAL COLUMN, CALLED 'MOSES' "and fastened its sockets" IMPLY THE LEFT COLUMN, FOR SOCKETS (HEB. ADANIM) ARE SPELLED WITH THE LETTERS OF JUDGMENT (HEB. DIN), WHICH PERTAINS TO THE LEFT; "and set up its boards" IMPLY THE RIGHT COLUMN. By these three aspects Moses erected the Tabernacle, and by these aspects the Tabernacle, MALCHUT, was erected and the Other Side subdued. Since Moses erected the side OF HOLINESS, the Other Side OF DEFILEMENT was subjugated. That is why Moses erected it and none other.

376. He opened the discussion and said, "In that day will I raise up the Tabernacle of David that is fallen" (Amos 9:11). HE ASKS: Which day? AND HE ANSWERS: On the day the Holy One, blessed be He will judge the world, and visit the deeds of the wicked, for the Congregation of Yisrael cannot rise from the dust, while the wicked still prevail. It is written above, "all the sinners of My people shall die by the sword, those that say, 'The evil shall not overtake nor confront us'" (Ibid. 10). The following verse says, "In that day will I raise up the Tabernacle of David that is fallen."

376. פָּתַח וְאָמַר, בַּיוֹם הַהוּא אָקִים אֶת סֻכַּת דָּוִד הַנּוֹפֶלֶת וְגוֹ', מַאי בַּיוֹם הַהוּא. בְּיוֹמָא דְּקוּדְשָׁא ב"ה יַעְבִּיד דִּינָא בְּעָלְמָא, וְיִפְקוֹד עַל חַיָּיבֵי עָלְמָא כְּעוֹבָדֵיהוֹן. דְּהָא לֵית קִימָה לִכְנֶסֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵעַפְרָא, בְּעוֹד דְּאִינּוּן חַיָּיבִין דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל יְקוּמוּן בְּעָלְמָא. מַה כְּתִיב לְעֵילָּא, בַּחֶרֶב יָמוּתוּ כֹּל חֲטָּאֵי עַמִּי הָאוֹמְרִים לֹֹא תַגִישׁ וְתַקְדִּים בַּעֲדֵנוּ הָרָעָה. מַה כְּתִיב בַּתְרֵיהּ, בַּיוֹם הַהוּא אָקִים אֶת סֻכַּת דָּוִד הַנּוֹפֶלֶת וְגוֹ'.

David Evil Sword Tabernacle Wicked Wickedness

377. We should look at this verse. IT IS WRITTEN, "their breaches" (Ibid. 11), which should have been 'her (its) breaches,' and "his ruins" (Ibid.) which should have been 'her ruins,' FOR THESE WORDS REFER TO "THE TABERNACLE (FEM.) OF DAVID." HE ANSWERS: "I will...repair their breaches" (Ibid.) against the wicked, of whom it is written, "all the sinners of My people shall die by the sword." Then the breach will be fixed, that THEY DID to Yisrael. It is therefore written, "I will...repair their breaches," AND NOT 'HER BREACHES'. "And I will raise up his ruins." Whose ruins? Those of the Tabernacle of David, because WE LEARNED that when the evil kingdom is strengthened in the world, the Holy Kingdom is enfeebled, and the Tabernacle of David is ruined. Therefore it is written, "And I will raise up his ruins" (Ibid.).

377. הַאי קְרָא אִית לְאִסְתַּכְּלָא בֵּיהּ, אֶת פִּרְצֵיהֶן, אֶת פִּרְצָהּ מִבָּעֵי לֵיהּ. וַהֲרִיסוֹתָיו, וַהֲרִיסוֹתֶיהָ מִבָּעֵי לֵיהּ. אֶלָּא וְגָדַרְתִּי אֶת פִּרְצֵיהֶן מִמַּאן, מֵאִינּוּן חַיָּיבִין, דִּכְתִּיב בַּחֶרֶב יָמוּתוּ כֹּל חַטָּאֵי עַמִּי, דְּהָא כְּדֵין יִתְעֲבִיד פִּרְצָן בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל, וע"ד וְגָדַרְתִּי אֶת פִּרְצֵיהֶן. וַהֲרִיסוֹתָיו אָקִים, הֲרִיסוֹתָיו דְּמַאן, הֲרִיסוֹתָיו דְּסוּכַּת דָּוִד. בְּגִין, דְּכַד אִתָּקַף מַלְכוּ חַיָּיבָא בְּעָלְמָא, כְּדֵין הַאי מַלְכוּ קַדִּישָׁא אִתְרַפֵּי, וְסֻכַּת דָּוִד אַסְתִּיר בִּנְיָינָא דִּילֵיהּ, וע"ד וַהֲרִיסוֹתָיו אָקִים.

Astrology Evil Holiness (Kedushah) Kedushah (Holiness) Light Moon Sun

378. We learned that when one is strengthened, NAMELY, DEFILEMENT, the other is enfeebled, NAMELY, HOLINESS. This one is full, and that is laid waste. Hence, until that SAID day, the evil kingdom shall get stronger. And on that day the holy kingdom will get stronger, and the Holy One, blessed be He will raise it. Therefore it is written, "and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build her as in the days of old" (Ibid.); the latter part is in accordance with the verse, "Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun..." (Yeshayah 30:26).

378. דְּהָא תָּנֵינָן, כָּל זִמְנָא דְּהַאי אִתָּקַף, הַאי אִתְרַפֵּי. דָּא מַלְיָא, וְדָא חָרְבָה. ובג"כ, עַד הַהוּא יוֹמָא, מַלְכוּ חַיָּיבָא יִתְקַף. בְּהַהוּא יוֹמָא, יִתָּקַף וְיוֹקִים לָהּ קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא, לְהַאי מַלְכוּ קַדִּישָׁא. וע"ד וַהֲרִיסוֹתָיו אָקִים. וּבְנִיתִיהָ כִּימֵי עוֹלָם, מַאי וּבְנִיתִיהָ כִּימֵי עוֹלָם. הַיְינוּ דִּכְתִּיב, וְהָיָה אוֹר הַלְּבָנָה כְּאוֹר הַחַמָּה וְגוֹ'.

Boards Door Moses Other Side Tabernacle

379. "And Moses erected the Tabernacle." HE ASKS: With what did he erect it? AND HE ANSWERS: It is written, "and fastened its sockets" (Shemot 40:18). He laid the sockets underneath the boards, so that the hinges of the doors will revolve upon them, because the hinges underneath give support and firmness upon which they can revolve. Why is it WRITTEN "fastened"? Because he fixed and strengthened them with all his might. At that time the other sockets of the Other Side were removed.

379. וַיָּקֶם מֹשֶׁה אֶת הַמִּשְׁכָּן, בְּמַאי אוֹקִים לֵיהּ. דִּכְתִּיב וַיִתֵּן אֶת אֲדָנָיו וְיָהַב אִינּוּן סַמְכִין דִּתְחוֹתֵיהּ, לְקַיְּימָא עָלַיְיהוּ, וּלְאַסְחֲרָא בְּהוּ אִינּוּן צִירִים דְּפִתְחִין. בְּגִין דְּאִינּוּן סַמְכִין דִּתְחוֹתַיְיהוּ, אִינּוּן קִיוּמָא לְאַסְחֲרָא. אֲמַאי וַיִתֵּן. אַתְקִיף וְאַתְקִין לוֹן בְּתוּקְפוֹי. בְּהַהִיא שַׁעֲתָא אַעְדִּיוּ אִינּוּן סַמְכִין אַחֲרָנִין דְּסִטְרָא אַחֲרָא.

380. Come and see: It is written, "Remember, O Hashem, against the children of Edom the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof" (Tehilim 137:7). Therefore, the Holy One, blessed be He will build the foundations of Jerusalem of other materials, that will have power over everything. What are they? They are sapphires, as it is written, "and lay your foundations with sapphires" (Yeshayah 54:11); which make strong and superior foundations, not weak as the first ones. What is the sense thereof? The other nations could rule over the stones of the first foundations. Why? Because there is no high illumination in them, as is fitting, BECAUSE THEIR ILLUMINATION IS NOT THEIR OWN, BUT DRAWN FROM BINAH. But these illuminate from the high illumination, NAMELY, THEY WILL ILLUMINATE ON THEIR OWN, AND WILL NOT NEED JOINING FROM BINAH. The illumination sinks into the abysses, so THE OTHER NATIONS will not be able to rule over them. These sapphires will illuminate above and below, for at that time, a supernal illumination will be added above and below.

381. If you say that the first foundations, WHICH WERE IN USE BEFORE THE CORRECTION will be discarded, IT IS NOT SO, for it is written, "Behold, I will set your stones in antimony" (ibid.), "set" to fix what is broken. "With antimony," as it is said, "and she painted her eyes" (II Melachim 9:30). There are stones called 'antimony', BLACK BY COLOR, WHICH WOMEN USE TO PAINT THEIR EYES. Why DOES HE USE this? Rabbi Elazar said: This is a secret, known to the reapers of the field, NAMELY TO THOSE WHO HAD THE MERIT OF ESTABLISHING ALL THE CORRECTIONS OF THE FIELD, WHICH IS MALCHUT. THEY ALREADY REAP THE HARVEST OF THE FIELD AND ENJOY ITS FRUIT.

382. Come and see: The stones of the foundation of Zion and Jerusalem, heaven forbid that other nations had power over them, or that they burned them. They were not burned but hidden and treasured by the Holy One, blessed be He. The foundations of the holy mansion were all stored, and not one was lost. And when the Holy One, blessed be He will restore Jerusalem again, these foundations of the first stones will be returned to their places, and no other eyes will rule them BY SIGHT, except when a man will paint his eyes with that antimony and fill his eyes with it. He will then see all the stones and all the foundations of Jerusalem, standing in their places, not ruled by other nations. And all the other precious stones, and stone buildings are all standing erect.

Then it may see certain things. That is why it is written, "Behold, I will set your stones in antimony" (Yeshayah 54:11). Come and see: All these stones, BEFORE THEY WERE MENDED, will be erected as foundations as before. And the sapphire foundations will stand around them. This is the meaning of "and lay your foundations with sapphires."

Evil Moses Samael Tabernacle

389. HE ASKS: What is the meaning of "fastened" IN "AND FASTENED ITS SOCKETS" (SHEMOT 40:18)? AND HE ANSWERS: We learned that when Moses saw the evil Samael before him, coming to accuse him, Moses attacked him and bound him, then erected the Tabernacle and fastened the sockets, as it is written, "and fastened its sockets." "Fastened" with force, for no one was able to rule over SAMAEL and fasten the sockets in their place like Moses, because he used great force to erect them.

Head Ladder Moses Other Side Samael Tabernacle

390. The day the Tabernacle was erected, when Moses started to erect it, was the first day of Nissan. At that time, the Other Side is loose in the world. For we learned that in the days of Nissan, THOUGH the head of a bull is in its fodder basket, RUN UP TO THE ATTIC, AND DROP THE LADDER DOWN, SO IT WILL NOT FOLLOW TO HARM YOU. Moses started TO ERECT THE TABERNACLE in Nissan, and saw Samael walking around him to confuse him. So Moses overpowered him, and then "fastened its sockets." He started below to fasten the sockets, and one started it, NAMELY THE HOLY ONE, BLESSED BE HE, to fasten the sockets above. The one corresponds to the other.

Earth Footstool (Earth) Form Grades Heaven Patriarchs Throne Unity

393. He opened the discussion and said: "Thus says Hashem, 'The heaven is My throne...'" (Yeshayah 66:1). Come and see: The Holy One, blessed be He chose Yisrael as His inheritance and portion, and brought them near Him. We established that He formed from them certain grades, NAMELY, THE PATRIARCHS...reflecting those above, so as to make of all the worlds one unity, above and below, as it is written, "the heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool" (Ibid.) so the high and low would form one unity.

David Earth Firmaments Footstool (Earth) Heaven Holy of Holies Jacob Mirror Temple, The Throne Zeir Anpin

394. Come and see: "the heaven is My throne" is the firmament where Jacob dwells, who is the supernal image of the supernal holy throne, NAMELY, CHESED, GVURAH AND TIFERET OF ZEIR ANPIN. "and the earth is My footstool," is the firmament where King David dwells, MALCHUT, to derive pleasure from the shining mirror, ZEIR ANPIN. And when He wanted to expand further down, FROM THE SUPERNAL THRONE, He said: "My footstool," WHICH IS MALCHUT. "the house that you would build for Me?" (Ibid.) is the Temple, "and where is the place of My rest?" (Ibid.) is the Holy of Holies in the lower Temple.

Light Shiloh Tabernacle Temple, The Unity

395. Yet come and see: As long as Yisrael walked through the desert, they had a Tabernacle, until they reached Shiloh where there was A TABERNACLE already. And THIS TABERNACLE is the secret of continuation one from the other, unity between one and the other so as to spread light. But it was not meant for a resting place, because there was no rest, only when the Temple was built in the days of King Solomon. Then there is rest above and below, because rest stays there and does not travel from place to place LIKE THE TABERNACLE.

395. אֲבָל תָּא חֲזֵי, כָּל זִמְנָא דְּאָזְלוּ יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּמַדְבְּרָא, הֲוָה לְהוּ מִשְׁכָּן, עַד דְּאָתוּ לְשִׁילֹֹה, וַהֲוָה תַּמָּן. וְדָא אִיהוּ רָזָא, לְאַמְשָׁכָא דָּא בְּדָא, וּלְאַעֲלָא דָּא בְּדָא, לְאִתְקַשְּׁרָא דָּא בְּדָא, בְּגִין לְאַנְהָרָא. אֲבָל לָאו לְנַיְיחָא. דְּהָא לָאו נַיְיחָא, בַּר כַּד אִתְבְּנֵי בֵּי מַקְדְּשָׁא, בְּיוֹמוֹי דִּשְׁלֹֹמֹה מַלְכָּא, דְּהָא כְּדֵין אִיהוּ מְנוּחָה לְעֵילָּא וְתַתָּא. בְּגִין דְּתַמָּן תְּקִיפוּ דְּנַיְיחָא, וְלָא לְנַטְלָא מֵאֲתָר לַאֲתָר.

Chariot Deeds Tabernacle Temple, The

397. HE ASKS: What is the difference between them, BETWEEN A TABERNACLE AND A TEMPLE? AND HE ANSWERS: In regard to the Tabernacle, IT IS AS IF a king comes to his friend without all his retinue, but in order not to trouble his friend, he brings with him only a small escort. In regard to a Temple, it is as if he brought all his army and retinue to live with him in that house. This is THE DIFFERENCE between a Tabernacle and a house. For a Temple house is an apartment for eternal resting place, with all the Chariots, with all images, all the deeds as above, so that deeds below may be connected as those above. A Tabernacle deals in small forms, few deeds, it travels from place to place. All is in supernal secret.

397. מַה בֵּין הַאי לְהַאי. אֶלָּא מִשְׁכָּן, כְּמַלְכָּא דְּאָתֵי לְגַבֵּי רְחִימֵיהּ, וְלָא מַיְיתֵי כָּל אֻכְלוּסִין דִּילֵיהּ עִמֵּיהּ, בְּגִין דְּלָא לְאַטְרְחָא עָלֵיהּ, אִיהוּ אָתֵי לְגַבֵּיהּ בִּזְעֵיר חֵילִין. בַּיִת: דְּכָל חֵילִין וְכָל אֹכְלוֹסִין דִּילֵיהּ, כֻּלְּהוּ אַיְיתֵי עִמֵּיהּ, לְדַיְּירָא בְּהַהוּא בֵּיתָא, וְדָא אִיהוּ בֵּין מִשְׁכָּן וּבֵין בַּיִת. בֵּית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ, אִיהוּ דִּיּוּרָא דְּנַיְיחָא לְעָלְמִין, בְּכָל אִינּוּן רְתִיכִין, בְּכָל אִינּוּן דִּיוּקְנִין, בְּכָל אִינּוּן עוֹבָדִין, כְּגַוְונָא דִּלְעֵילָּא. לְחַבְּרָא עוֹבָדִין דִּלְתַתָּא, כְּגַוְונָא דִּלְעֵילָּא. מִשְׁכָּן, בִּזְעֵיר דִּיוּקְנִין, בִּזְעִירִין עוֹבָדִין, לְנַטְלָא מֵאֲתָר לַאֲתָר, וְכֹלָּא בְּרָזָא דִּלְעֵילָּא.

Fire Moses Mountains Red Tabernacle White

398. Come and see: When the Holy One, blessed be He commanded Moses to erect the Tabernacle, he could not grasp it, until the Holy One, blessed be He showed him the shape of each and every thing. By what means did He show him? Namely, by a white fire, a black fire, a red fire, and a green fire, CORRESPONDING TO CHESED, GVURAH, TIFERET AND MALCHUT. It is written, "And see that you make them after their pattern, which is being shown to you in the mountain" (Shemot 25:40). With all that, it was difficult for Moses TO GRASP THEM.

398. תָּא חֲזֵי, כַּד פָּקִיד קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא לְמֹשֶׁה עַל מַשְׁכְּנָא, לָא הֲוָה יָכִיל לְמֵיקָם בֵּיהּ, עַד דְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא אַחְמֵי לֵיהּ כֹּלָּא בְּדִיוּקְנֵיהּ, כָּל מִלָּה וּמִלָּה. בְּמָּה אַחְזֵי לֵיהּ. בְּאֶשָּׁא חִוָּורָא, וּבְאֶשָּׁא אוּכָמָא, וּבְאֶשָּׁא סוּמָקָא, וּבְאֶשָּׁא יְרוֹקָא. מַה כְּתִיב, וּרְאֵה וַעֲשֵׂה כְּתַבְנִיתָם אֲשֶׁר אַתָּה מָרְאֶה בָּהָר. עִם כָּל דָּא אַקְשֵׁי לֵיהּ לְמֹשֶׁה.

Bezalel Eyes Moses Mountains Tabernacle

399. Come and see: Though He showed him eye to eye, Moses did not want to do them. And if you say that he did not know how to do or did not have the skill, come and see: Betzalel, Aholiav and all the others, though they did not see THE SHAPES as Moses did, it is written, "and Moses saw all the work, and, behold, they had done it..." (Shemot 39:43). If those who did not see THE SHAPES, nevertheless did it, Moses, who saw ALL THE SHAPES ON THE MOUNTAIN, how more so WAS HE ABLE TO MAKE THEM. HE ANSWERS: Moses, though he retired from the construction of the Tabernacle, everything was under his supervision, and under him ALL WAS DONE. It was named after him, and therefore it is written, "and see that you make" (Shemot 25:40).

399. תָּא חֲזֵי, אַף עַל גַּב דְּאַחְזֵי לֵיהּ עֵינָא בְּעֵינָא לָא בָּעָא מֹשֶׁה לְמֶעְבַּד. וְאִי תֵּימָא דְּאִיהוּ לָא יָדַע לְמֶעְבַּד, אוֹ חָכְמְתָא לָא הֲוָה עִמֵּיהּ. תָּא חֲזֵי, בְּצַלְאֵל וְאָהֳלִיאָב, וְכָל אִינּוּן שְׁאַר אַחֲרָנִין, אַף עַל גַּב דְּלָא חָמוּ כְּמֹשֶׁה, מַה כְּתִיב, וַיַּרְא מֹשֶׁה אֶת כָּל הַמְּלָאכָה וְהִנֵּה עָשׂוּ אוֹתָהּ וְגוֹ', אִי אִינּוּן דְּלָא חָמוּ, עָבְדוּ כַּךְ. מֹשֶׁה דְּחָמָא, עַל אַחַת כַּמָה וְכַמָּה. אֶלָּא מֹשֶׁה, אַף עַל גַּב דְּאִסְתַּלָּק מִן מַשְׁכְּנָא מֵעֲבִידָתָא, כֹּלָּא הֲוָה בִּידֵיהּ, וְעַל יְדֵיהּ, וְאִיהוּ אִקְרֵי עַל שְׁמֵיהּ, וע"ד כְּתִיב וּרְאֵה וַעֲשֵׂה.

Bezalel Merit Moses Tabernacle

400. Another explanation: Moses withdrew FROM THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE TABERNACLE, and gave his place to another, BECAUSE HE WANTED OTHERS TO HAVE THE MERIT. So the Holy One, blessed be He told him, "See, I have called by name Betzalel...with him Aholiav" (Shemot 31:2). And it is written, "And Betzalel and Aholiav, and every wisehearted man" (Ibid. 36:1). And if that honor was reserved for Moses, that he will make THE TABERNACLE, AS IT IS WRITTEN, "AND SEE THAT YOU MAKE," it will be forever his. WHY THEN DID THE HOLY ONE, BLESSED BE HE ORDER, "AND BETZALEL AND AHOLIAV...DID"? BECAUSE FROM THIS WE UNDERSTAND AND MOSES HIMSELF WITHDREW FROM THE WORK TO GIVE MERIT TO OTHERS.
