"Mingled with...beaten oil"

Synopsis

Rabbi Shimon asks for an explanation of the word "beaten" in the title verse, and he is told that it has to do with drawing an emanation down from above. The Righteous is the one who crushes the holy olives for the anointing oil with his perfect longing for Malchut.

[Verse 663] Moses furthers the explanation of the same topic, and he gives information about the three brains - of memory, of thought, and of imagination. He says that imagination and memory ascend from the heart and the thoughts descend to them to the heart, where they are welcomed as a king. Moses also brings in the factor of the four faces of the Holy Beasts.

[Verse 667] We are told that Malchut is a continual burnt offering that rises to God every single day, ascending to the Divine Thought that has no end. This is why a burnt offering is only required for sinful meditation of the heart, which is thought.

Body Oil Zeir Anpin

661. "Mingled with...beaten oil" (Bemidbar 28:5). Oil refers to that oil that is poured out and issues from on high, FROM CHOCHMAH OF THE RIGHT SIDE. Rabbi Shimon said: What you have said is good, but how do you explain "beaten"? HE ANSWERS, it is a divine secret. Since we are talking about oil, what is "beaten"? It is an allusion to the mating with the Female, NAMELY, MALCHUT, to draw down to her beaten oil as is fitting for her, FROM SUPERNAL CHOCHMAH, which is none other than beaten in order to extract OIL from the olives, which are the limbs of the body, NAMELY, THE SFIROT OF ZEIR ANPIN, TERMED BODY, and to draw that emanation down from above, FROM SUPENRAL CHOCHMAH, with each and every limb.

661. בְּלוּלָה בְּשֶׁמֶן כָּתִית, בְּשֶׁמֶן, בְּהַהוּא שֶׁמֶן דְּנָגִיד וְנָפִיק מִלְּעֵילָּא. אר"ש, יָאוּת אַמְרַת. אֲבָל מַאי כָּתִית. אֶלָּא רָזָא עִלָּאָה אִיהוּ. דְּכֵיוָן דְּאִיהוּ שֶׁמֶן, מַאי כָּתִית. אֶלָּא רֶמֶז הוּא דְּקָא רָמִיז לְשַׁמְּשָׁא בְּנוּקְבָּא, לְאַנְגְּדָא לְגַבָּהּ שֶׁמֶן כָּתִית כַּדְּקָא יָאוּת לָהּ, לָא הֲוֵי אֶלָּא כָּתִית לְאַפָּקָא מִזֵּיתִים, דְּאִינּוּן שַׁיְיפִין דְּגוּפָא, וּלְאַמְשָׁכָא הַהוּא נְגִידוּ מִלְּעֵילָּא, בְּכָל שַׁיְיפָא וְשַׁיְיפָא.

Anointment Light Oil Righteous Shepherd Zeir Anpin

662. And the Righteous, WHICH IS YESOD, is the one who crushes with pestles and extracts from all those upper limbs, FROM THE SFIROT of ZEIR ANPIN, that are holy olives, anointing oil, with a perfect longing for the Female, WHICH IS MALCHUT. But if he does not crush them, that oil will issue forth only without the longing of the limbs, and the Female will have no enjoyment from that emanation, AND THE OIL, WHICH IS THE LIGHT OF CHOCHMAH, will not be fitting until it is a blend of all the limbs. Therefore it is written: "mingled with...beaten oil," IN ORDER to enjoy it and be nourished from it.

662. וְצַדִיק אִיהוּ דְּכָתִישׁ כְּתִישִׁין, וְאַפִּיק מִכָּל אִינּוּן שַׁיְיפִין עִלָּאִין, דְּאִינּוּן זֵיתִין קַדִישִׁין, מְשַׁח רְבוּ בְּתִיאוּבְתָא שְׁלִים, לְגַבֵּי נוּקְבֵיהּ. וְאִי לָא כָּתִישׁ, לָא יִפּוּק הַהוּא מִשְׁחָא, אֶלָּא בְּלָא תִּיאוּבְתָא דְּשַׁיְיפִין, וְהַהוּא נְגִידוּ, לָא אִתְהֲנֵי מִנֵּיהּ נוּקְבָּא, וְלָא הֲוֵי כַּדְּקָא יָאוּת, עַד דִּתְהֵא בְּלוּלָה מִנֵּיהּ מִכָּל שַׁיְיפִין. וע"ד בְּלוּלָה בְּשֶׁמֶן כָּתִית, לְאִתְהֲנָאָה וּלְאִתְזְנָא מִנֵּיהּ.

663. Ra'aya Meheimna (the Faithful Shepherd). The Faithful Shepherd said TO RABBI SHIMON: Holy Luminary, how sweet are your words! It is certainly said here "mingled with...beaten oil," and it says there, in the Oral Law, that it is blended in Bible, Mishnah, and Talmud. And there is yet a second secret here in "mingled with...beaten oil." It is certainly not the Torah that is mingled IN BIBLE, MISHNAH, AND TALMUD, but only for the person who suffers a number of chastisements for its sake, as the sages of the Mishnah taught: The Torah is only upheld by one who kills himself for it. And they said further: When you trudge from county to county TO LEARN TORAH, you will be privileged to see the face of the Shechinah.

663. (רעיא מהימנא) אָמַר רַעְיָא מְהֵימָנָא, בּוּצִינָא קַדִישָׁא, כַּמָּה מְתִיקִין מִילָךְ, וַדָאי אִתְּמַר הָכָא, בְּלוּלָה בְּשֶׁמֶן כָּתִית. וְאִתְּמַר הָתָם, בְּאוֹרַיְיתָא דבע"פ, בְּלוּלָה בַּמִקְרָא, בַּמִשְׁנָה, בַּתַּלְמוּד. וְעוֹד אִית רָזָא תִּנְיָינָא, בְּלוּלָה בְּשֶׁמֶן כָּתִית. וַדַּאי לָאו אוֹרַיְיתָא אִיהִי בְּלוּלָה. אֶלָּא לְמַאן דְּסָבִיל כַּמָה מַכְתְּשִׁין בְּגִינָהּ. כְּמָה דְּאוּקְמוּהָ מָארֵי מַתְנִיתִין, דְּלֵית אוֹרַיְיתָא מִתְקַיֶּימֶת, אֶלָּא בְּמִי שְׁמֵמִית גַּרְמֵיהּ עָלָהּ. וְעוֹד אָמְרוּ, בִּזְמַן שֶׁאַתָּה מְכַתֵת רַגְלֶיךָ מִמְּדִינָה לַמְדִינָה, תִּזְכֶּה לִרְאוֹת פְּנֵי שְׁכִינָה.

664. Again: "mingled with...beaten oil": This refers to one who keeps the injunction: You shall eat bread with salt, "You shall drink also water by measure" (Yechezkel 4:11). Again, "mingled with...beaten oil" corresponds to "But he was wounded because of our transgressions, bruised because of our iniquities" (Yeshayah 53:5). And again, "mingled with...beaten oil" refers to the Righteous, life of the worlds, WHICH IS YESOD, that draws down holy drops that are olive sized crumbs from the upper brain, WHICH IS SUPERNAL CHOCHMAH, which are one tenth measure corresponding to Yud, two tenth measures to Yud Yud, and three tenth measures to Yud Yud Yud. And these are: a tenth measure for a lamb and two tenth measures for the ram and three tenth measures for a bullock.

664. וְעוֹד בְּלוּלָה בְּשֶׁמֶן כָּתִית, דָּא הוּא דִּמְקַיֵּים פַּת בַּמֶלַח תֺּאכַל, וּמַיִם בַּמְּשׂוּרָה תִּשְׁתֶּה. וְעוֹד בְּלוּלָה בְּשֶׁמֶן כָּתִית, הה"ד, וְהוּא מְחוֹלָל מִפְּשָׁעֵינוּ מְדוּכָּא מֵעֲוֹנוֹתֵינוּ. וְעוֹד בְּלוּלָה בְּשֶׁמֶן כָּתִית, דָּא צַדִיק חַי עָלְמִין, דְּנָגִיד טִפִּין קַדִישִׁין, דְּאִינּוּן פִּירוּרִין כַּזֵּיתִים, מִמּוֹחָא עִלָּאָה, דְּאִינּוּן חַד עִשָּׁרוֹן לָקֳבֵל י'. וּשְׁנֵי עֶשְׂרוֹנִים, י' י'. וּשְׁלֹשָׁה עֶשְׂרוֹנִים לַפָּר, י' י' י'. וְאִינּוּן עִשָּׁרוֹן לַכֶּבֶשׂ, וב' עֶשְׂרוֹנִים לָאַיִל, וּשְׁלֹשָׁה עֶשְׂרוֹנִים לַפָּר.

Beasts Heart Keter Rain Thought

665. And the secret of the matter is as they said in Tractate Ta'anit: Not one drop (of rain) descends from above without two drops coming up to meet it FROM BELOW. And they are in this secret : And their allusion corresponds to three brains: of memory, of thought, and of imagination. Imagination and memory ascend from the heart, the thoughts descend to them to the heart, AND THE IMAGINATION AND THE MEMORY welcome them as a king, because this man, which is thought, mounts and controls the third living creature, descending on it to the two living creatures that open their wings to receive it, just as a Cholam placed over a Tzere becomes a Segolta. And this is upper Keter over Chochmah and Binah.

665. וְרָזָא דְּמִלָּה אָמְרוּ בְּתַעֲנִיוֹת, אֵין טִפָּה יוֹרֶדֶת מִלְּמַעְלָה, שֶׁאֵין עוֹלִין כְּנֶגְדָהּ טִפַּיִּים. וְאִינּוּן בְּרָזָא דָּא וּרְמִיזוּ דִּלְהוֹן לָקֳבֵל תְּלַת מוֹחִין. חַד מוֹחַ הַזִּכָּרוֹן. תִּנְיָינָא מוֹחַ הַמַּחֲשָׁבָה. תְּלִיתָאָה מוֹחַ הַדִּמְיוֹן. הַדִּמְיוֹן וְהַזִּכָּרוֹן סַלְּקִין מִן לִבָּא, הַמַּחֲשָׁבוֹת נַחְתָּא עָלַיְיהוּ לְלִבָּא, וּמְקַבְּלִין לָהּ עָלַיְיהוּ, כְּמַלְכָּא. בְּגִין דְּהַאי אָדָם דְּאִיהוּ מַחֲשָׁבָה, דְּרָכִיב וְשָׁלִיט עַל חִיוָא תְּלִיתָאָה, וְנָחִית עָלָהּ לְגַבֵּי תְּרֵין חֵיוָן, וּפַתְחִין גַּדְפַיְיהוּ לְקַבְּלָא לָהּ, כְּגוֹן חוֹלָם עַל צֵרֵי, אִתְעָבֵיד סְגוֹלְתָא. וְדָא כֶּתֶר עֶלְיוֹן עַל חָכְמָה וּבִינָה.

Beasts Chariot Eagle Face Lion Ox Tetragrammaton Yud Hei Vav Hei (YHVH)

666. One tenth measure and two tenth measures allude to the three living creatures of the upper Chariot, that are Greatness, WHICH IS CHESED, Gvurah, and Tiferet. Three tenth measures allude to Netzach, Hod and Yesod, in which is the second, LOWER, Chariot. The fourth part of a hin is holy Malchut, which is Hei, the fourth letter of the Name Yud Hei Vav Hei, in which are the four faces of a man. FOR IN CHESED THERE ARE FOUR FACES OF A LION; IN GVURAH THERE ARE FOUR FACES OF AN OX; AND IN TIFERET THERE ARE FOUR FACES OF AN EAGLE; WHILE IN MALCHUT ARE THE FOUR FACES OF A MAN. End of Ra'aya Meheimna (the Faithful Shepherd).

666. עִשָּׁרוֹן וּשְׁנֵי עֶשְׂרוֹנִים, רְמִיזִין לִתְלַת חֵיוָן דְּמֶרְכַּבְתָּא עִלָּאָה. דְּאִינּוּן: גְּדוּלָה, גְּבוּרָה, תִּפְאֶרֶת. שְׁלֹשָׁה עֶשְׂרוֹנִין, רְמִיזִין: לְנֶצַח, הוֹד, יְסוֹד. מִרְכֶּבֶת הַמִּשְׁנֶה. רְבִיעִית הַהִין: דָּא מַלְכוּת קַדִישָׁא, ה' רְבִיעָאָה מִן שֵׁם יְדֺוָ"ד. דְּאִיהוּ אַרְבַּע אַנְפֵּי אָדָם.
