Two tears sink into the great abyss

Synopsis

Rabbi Dustai explains that when the children of Yisrael are delivered to the supernal ministers of the other nations, twelve courts convene and the Master weeps. Then two tears sink into the great abyss, and both the higher and the lower celestial beings descend multiple levels. We also learn that when God delivered Yisrael into the power of the supernal minister of Egypt, He made seven decrees that Egypt should subjugate them, and seven decrees bestowing benefits on Yisrael.

Relevance

Our slavery to our own Evil Inclination and to the negative influences of the Twelve Signs is ended. All judgments forever cease. Our soul now achieves eternal dominion over the negative influences of the body. Likewise, Yisrael begins to shine brightly to nourish all the world with Divine Light, creating peace and unconditional love between Arabs, Jews and all the peoples of the world. The spiritual truths and Light of the Zohar expand throughout the world bringing joy and peace to all humanity.

Abyss Adonai Eyes Fear Grades Hebrew Letters Judgment Lion Seas Tetragrammaton Twelve Yud Hei Vav Hei (YHVH)

313. Rabbi Dustai said, As soon as the children of the Holy One, blessed be He, are given over to the rulers of the nations, twelve courts will convene, MEANING MALCHUT HAS TWELVE PERMUTATIONS OF ADONAI, WHICH CONTAINS THE LETTERS OF DINA ('JUDGMENT'). SINCE THE UNION OF YUD HEI VAV HEI ADONAI WAS ABOLISHED, IN WHICH THE TWELVE PERMUTATIONS OF ADONAI RECEIVED FROM THE TWELVE PERMUTATIONS OF YUD HEI VAV HEI, THE TWELVE PERMUTATIONS OF ADONAI GATHERED and sank in the great Abyss, WHICH IS BINAH. The Master, WHICH IS BINAH, weeps by raising the voice CALLED 'WAILINGS.' Two teardrops fell FROM THE EYE SOCKETS, WHICH IS BINAH, to the depths of the Great Sea, WHICH IS MALCHUT. This is the meaning of, "Your Judgments are a great deep" (Tehilim 36:7). Those above rolled downward, and the lower beings broke asunder and descended 240 levels. This is what is written, "The lion has roared, who will not fear" (Amos 3:8).

313. ר' דּוֹסְתָּאי אָמַר בְּעִדָנָא דְּאִתְמַסְּרָן בְּנוֹי דְּקוּדְשָׁא ב"ה, לְשׁוּלְטָנֵי עֲמָמִין, מִתְכַּנְּפִין תְּרֵיסַר בָּתֵּי דִּינִין, וּמִשְׁתַּקְּעָן גּוֹ תְּהוֹמָא רַבָּה, גָּעֵי טַרְנָא, גָעִין, וּרְהִיטָן וְנַחְתִּין תְּרֵין דִּמְעִין לִשְׁקִיעָא דְּיַמָּא רַבָּה, הה"ד מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ תְּהוֹם רַבָּה. וּמִתְגַּלְגְּלָן עִלָּאִין לְתַתָּא, אִתְבַּקְּעָן תַּתָּאִין, וְנַחְתִּין מָאתַן וְאַרְבְּעִין דַּרְגִּין הה"ד אַרְיֵה שָׁאָג מִי לֹא יִירָא.

Egypt Seven

314. We learned that at the time that the Holy One, blessed be He, gave Yisrael to the Minister of Egypt, He made seven decrees that Egypt should subjugate them. This is what is written, "And they made their lives bitter, with hard bondage in the mortar and in brick, and all manner of bondage in the field, all their bondage, wherein they made them serve was with rigor" (Shemot 1:14). He correspondingly made seven to the good, "And the children of Yisrael were fruitful and increased abundantly, and multiplied and grew exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them" (Ibid. 7).

314. תָּנָּא, בְּשַׁעֲתָא דְּמָסַר קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא לְיִשְׂרָאֵל לְשָׂרָא דְּמִצְרָאֵי, גָּזַר עָלַיְיהוּ ז' גְּזֵרוֹת, שֶׁיְשַׁעֲבְּדוּ בְּהוֹן מִצְרָאֵי. הה"ד וַיְמָרְרוּ אֶת חַיֵּיהֶם בַּעֲבוֹדָה קָשָׁה בְּחוֹמֶר וּבִלְבֵנִים וְגוֹ.' וְלָקֳבְלֵיהוֹן שִׁבְעָה לְטָב, וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל פָּרוּ, וַיִּשְׁרְצוּ, וַיִּרְבּוּ, וַיַּעַצְמוּ, בִּמְאֹד, מְאֹד, וַתְּמַלֵא הָאָרֶץ אוֹתָם.
