Brass Chassadim Gold Offering Silver Zeir Anpin

227. He opened the discussion saying, "That they bring Me an offering... " (Shemot 25:2), MEANING THAT IT IS MALCHUT THAT IS JOINED WITH ZEIR ANPIN, as we have learned. What makes it an offering? IT IS in the secret of Gold, WHICH IS THE LEFT COLUMN, because it is nourished originally from there as it is the lower Gvurah that comes from the side of Gold. FROM THERE IS THE ILLUMINATIONS OF CHOCHMAH BECAUSE MALCHUT IS BUILT FROM THE LEFT COLUMN. Even though She comes from the side of Gold, She perseveres only by the side of silver, which is the Right COLUMN, NAMELY, BY THE ILLUMINATION OF CHASSADIM.

227. פָּתַח וְאָמַר, וְיִקְחוּ לִי תְּרוּמָה, כְּמָה דְּאִתְּמַר. בְּמַאי אִיהִי תְּרוּמָה. בְּרָזָא דְּזָהָב, דְּהָא מִתַּמָּן אִתְּזְנַת בְּקַדְמֵיתָא, בְּגִין דְּאִיהִי גְּבוּרָה תַּתָּאָה, דְּאַתְיָא מִסִּטְרָא דְּזָהָב. וְאַף עַל גַּב דְּאַתְיָא מִסִּטְרָא דְּזָהָב, כָּל עִקָר לָא אִשְׁתְּאַרָת, אֶלָּא בְּסִטְרָא דְּכֶסֶף, דְּאִיהוּ יְמִינָא.

Gold Hands Head Silver Zeir Anpin

228. This is the secret of the Cup of Blessing THAT ALLUDES TO MALCHUT THAT IS CALLED 'CUP.' One should accept it with the right and left hands, but it remains only in the right. The left arouses the right, FOR IT PROVIDES THE BRILLIANCE OF CHOCHMAH THAT IS IN IT. It does not become attached, because THE CUP is given between right and left, and the left joins AND IS INCLUDED under THE RIGHT. The right becomes joined above, IN ZEIR ANPIN, as it is written, "His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me" (Shir Hashirim 2:6). Gold and silver are as in the verse, "The silver is mine, and the gold is mine" (Chagai 2:8), MEANING THE RIGHT AND LEFT OF ZEIR ANPIN. BUT IN MALCHUT, GOLD IS FIRST AND THEN SILVER, BECAUSE SHE IS BUILT FROM THE LEFT COLUMN WHICH IS GOLD, as has already been explained.

228. וְרָזָא דָּא כּוֹס שֶׁל בְּרָכָה, דְּאִצְטְרִיךְ לְקַבְּלָא לֵיהּ בִּימִינָא וּבִשְׂמָאלָא, וְכָל עִקָּר לָא אִשְׁתְּאַר אֶלָּא בִּימִינָא. וּשְׂמָאלָא אִתְּעַר יְמִינָא, וְלָא אִתְדְּבַק בֵּיהּ, בְּגִין דְּאִיהוּ אִתְיְיהִיב בֵּין יְמִינָא וּשְׂמָאלָא, וּשְׂמָאלָא אִתְאֲחִיד תְּחוֹתֵיהּ, וִימִינָא אִתְאֲחִיד בֵּיהּ לְעֵילָּא, כד"א שְׂמֹאלוֹ תַּחַת לְרֹאשִׁי וִימִינוֹ תְּחַבְּקֵנִי. זָהָב וָכֶסֶף, כד"א לִי הַכֶּסֶף וְלִי הַזָּהָב, וְהָא אִתְּמַר.

Altar Brass Colors David Gold Offering Samuel Silver Zeir Anpin

229. "And brass" (Shemot 25:3): Its color is similar to gold, because it is colored from the color gold and the color silver, WHICH IS MALCHUT THAT IS RECEIVED IN THE RIGHT AND LEFT OF ZEIR ANPIN, WHICH ARE GOLD AND SILVER AS MENTIONED EARLIER. Therefore, the brass altar was small, as it is written, "For the altar that was before Hashem was too small to accommodate the offering... " (I Melachim 8:64), and, "And David was the smallest" (I Shmuel 17:14), MEANING MALCHUT WHICH IS CALLED "THE LESSER LUMINARY" (BERESHEET 1:16). Even though it is small, everything is included in it. If you ask why the other altar, NAMELY THE INNER ONE, is called 'small,' IT IS BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY ONE CUBIT BY ONE CUBIT. It is not so, FOR IT IS NOT DEPENDENT UPON MEASURE, for the only one which is small is the one about which it is written, "The greater luminary to rule the day, and the lesser luminary to rule the night." This one, THE BRASS ALTAR, is the lesser luminary; the greater luminary is the inner altar, which is the gold altar.

229. וּנְחוֹשֶׁת, דָּא אִיהוּ גָּוֶון כְּגַוְונָא דְּזָהָב, בְּגִין דְּאִצְטְבְּעַ מִגָּוֶון זָהָב וּמִגָּוֶון דְּכֶסֶף. וְעַל דָּא מִזְבַּח הַנְּחֹשֶׁת קָטֹן. אֲמַאי אִיהוּ קָטֹן. כד"א כִּי הַמִּזְבֵּחַ אֲשֶׁר לִפְנֵי יְיָ' קָטֹן מֵהָכִיל אֶת הָעוֹלָה וְגוֹ.' כד"א וְדָוִד הוּא הַקָּטָן. וְאע"ג דְּאִיהוּ קָטָן, כֹּלָּא אִתְאֲחִיד בְּגַוֵּיהּ. וְאִי תֵּימָא מִזְבֵּחַ אַחֲרָא, אִקְרֵי קָטָן. לָאו הָכִי. דְּלָאו קָטָן בַּר הַאי, דִּכְתִּיב אֶת הַמָּאוֹר הַגָּדוֹל לְמֶמְשֶׁלֶת הַיּוֹם וְאֶת הַמָּאוֹר הַקָּטָן לְמֶמְשֶׁלֶת הַלַּיְלָה. וְדָא אִיהוּ הַמָּאוֹר הַקָּטָן. הַמָּאוֹר הַגָּדוֹל, דָּא מִזְבֵּחַ הַפְּנִימִי דְּאִיהוּ מִזְבַּח הַזָּהָב.

Body Colors Death Death and the Afterlife Destruction Dreams Hands Judgment Mercy Soul, The Tfilin Throne Tzitzit Wool

230. "And blue" (Ibid.): This is the blue wool of the Tzitzit (Eng. 'fringes'). Blue wool is the Throne, the secret of the hand Tefilin, WHICH IS MALCHUT. Blue wool is the Throne OF JUSTICE, on which criminal law, life and death, is judged, MEANING MALCHUT IN THE SIDE OF SEVERE JUDGMENT. There is a throne upon which monetary laws are judged, WHICH IS THE SECRET OF WEAK JUDGMENT, and there is a throne upon which criminal law is judged, WHICH IS THE SECRET OF SEVERE JUDGMENT. AND BLUE IS THE SEVERE JUDGMENT THAT IS IN MALCHUT. Therefore, all the colors are acceptable in a dream except for blue, for this notifies one that his soul is to be judged. When the soul is being judged, the body is sentenced to destruction, and that dream needs great Mercy.

230. וּתְכֵלֶת דָּא אִיהוּ תְּכֵלֶת דְּצִיצִית. תְּכֵלֶת דָּא אִיהוּ כֻּרְסְיָיא, רָזָא דִּתְפִלָּה דְּיַד. תְּכֵלֶת דָּא אִיהוּ כֻּרְסְיָיא, דְּדַיְינִין בֵּיהּ דִּינֵי נְפָשׁוֹת. בְּגִין דְּאִית כֻּרְסְיָיא דְּדַיְינִין בֵּיהּ דִּינֵי מָמוֹנוֹת, וְאִית כֻּרְסְיָיא דְּדַיְינִין בֵּיהּ דִּינֵי נְפָשׁוֹת. וְעַל דָּא, כָּל גַּוְונִין טָבִין לְחֶלְמָא, בַּר גָּוֶון תִּכְלָא, בְּגִין דְּיִנְדַּע דְּהָא נִשְׁמָתֵיהּ סָלְקָא בְּדִינָא. וְכַד נִשְׁמְתָא סָלְקָא בְּדִינָא, גּוּפָא אִתְּדָן לְאִשְׁתְּצָאָה וְאִצְטְרִיךְ הַהוּא חֶלְמָא, לְרַחֲמִין סַגִּיאִין.

Colors Death Death and the Afterlife Ezekiel Judges Judgment Kriat Sh'ma Lights Likenesses Mercy Morning Other Side Sapphire Soul, The Stone Throne Tzitzit Wool Zeir Anpin

231. Blue wool is the Throne, about which is written, "The likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone... A brightness round about him" (Yechezkel 1:26-27). When it is used for loops for the Tzitzit (Eng. 'fringes'), THE BRIGHTNESS ILLUMINATES IT. When the brightness illuminates it, it becomes the color green, AS WHITE BECOMES MORE VISIBLE IN IT, FOR THIS IS THE SECRET OF THE BRIGHTNESS THAT LIGHTS UP TOWARD MORNING. From then on the time starts to read the reading of Sh'ma, because the color of blue has changed from what it was; NAMELY, TO THE COLOR GREEN WHICH IS WEAK JUDGMENT. It is therefore prohibited to judge life and death law at night, because the color blue dominates at that time and permission is given to snatch a soul without trial, MEANING THE OTHER SIDE HAS POWER THEN TO CONFUSE THE MINDS OF THE JUDGES, because the Judgment, WHICH IS ZEIR ANPIN WHICH IS MERCY, does not dominate at that time.

231. תְּכֵלֶת דָּא אִיהוּ כֻּרְסְיָיא, דִּכְתִּיב בֵּיהּ כְּמַרְאֵה אֶבֶן סַפִּיר דְּמוּת כִּסֵּא, וּכְתִיב וְנֹגַהּ לוֹ סָבִיב. בְּגִין דְּעַבְדִין בֵּיהּ כְּרִיכִין לְצִיצִית, וְכַד נֹגַהּ לוֹ, אִתְהַדָּר לְגָוֶון יָרוֹק, כְּגָוֶן כַּרְתִּי. מֵהַהִיא שַׁעֲתָא וְאֵילֵךְ, אִשְׁתְּרֵי זִמְנָא דְּק"ש, דְּהָא אִשְׁתָּנֵי גָּוֶון תִּכְלָא מִכְּמַה דַּהֲוָה, וּבְגִין כַּךְ אָסִיר לְמֵידָן דִּינֵי נְפָשׁוֹת בַּלַּיְלָה, בְּגִין דְּשָׁלְטָא הַהוּא גָּוֶון תִּכְלָא בְּהַהוּא זִמְנָא, וְאִתְיְהִיב רְשׁוּ לְמֶחֱטַף נַפְשָׁא בְּלֹא מִשְׁפָּט. דְּהָא מִשְׁפָּט לָא שָׁלְטָא בְּהַהוּא זִמְנָא.

233. "And purple:" This is all the colors gathered together, WHICH IS ZEIR ANPIN, MEANING THE CENTRAL COLUMN THAT INCLUDES ALL THE THREE COLUMNS WHICH ARE WHITE, RED, AND GREEN. "And scarlet:" It is written "scarlet (lit. 'worm of shani')" and 'scarlet' in, "For all her household are clothed with scarlet (Heb. shanim)" (Mishlei 31:21). This here is the color called 'scarlet,' which includes all the colors. And shani and shanim are one, as shanim IS CALLED when they are all included in it together. Shani emerges from the supernal Throne, WHICH IS ZEIR ANPIN, WHICH IS THE THRONE FOR BINAH, that dominates blue from the right side. This is the guardian of Yisrael, of whom it is written, "Michael your prince" (Daniel 10:21). HE IS CALLED 'a worm,' because his strength is in his mouth, like a worm that breaks everything and uproots everything.

233. וְאַרְגָּמָן, דָּא כְּנוּפְיָא דִּכָלִילָא כָּל גְּוָונִין כַּחֲדָא. וְתוֹלַעַת שָׁנִי, כְּתִיב שָׁנִי, וּכְתִיב שָׁנִים, דִּכְתִּיב כִּי כָל בֵּיתָה לָבוּשׁ שָׁנִים. אֶלָּא הַאי אִיהוּ גָּוֶון אִקְרֵי שָׁנִי, דְּנָטִיל כָּל גַּוְונִין בֵּיהּ, וְכֹלָּא אִיהוּ חַד, שָׁנִי וְשָׁנִים. שָׁנִים: כַּד כֻּלְּהוּ כְּלִילָן בֵּיהּ כַּחֲדָא. שָׁנִי: דְּנָפִיק מִכֻּרְסְיָיא עִלָּאָה, דְּשַׁלְּטָא עַל תְּכֵלֶת מִסִּטְרָא דִּימִינָא, וְדָא אִיהוּ אַפּוֹטְרוֹפֹּסָא דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל, דִּכְתִּיב בֵּיהּ מִיכָאֵל שַׂרֵכֶם. תּוֹלַעַת: דְּחֵילֵיהּ בְּפוּמֵיהּ, כַּתּוֹלַעַת, דִּמְתָּבַּר כֹּלָּא וְעֹקֵר כֹּלָּא.

Angels Body Colors Gabriel (Angel) Judgment Linen Michael (Angel) Red White

234. "And scarlet, and fine linen" (Shemot 25:3): These are two colors together of right and left, which are white and red AND THEY ARE BOTH IN YESOD, BECAUSE THE JUDGMENTS IN MALCHUT ARE INCLUDED IN YESOD. "Fine linen (Heb. shesh)" is linen in which six (Heb. shesh) threads are combined, NAMELY YESOD. This is the meaning of, "His body also was like the beryl" (Ibid. 6), WHO IS THE ANGEL GABRIEL. This is because in these two, WHICH ARE CHESED AND GVURAH THAT ARE IN YESOD, are included two others, WHICH ARE MICHAEL AND GABRIEL. MICHAEL IS IN SCARLET AND GABRIEL IN FINE LINEN.

234. תּוֹלַעַת שָׁנִי וָשֵׁשׁ, תְּרֵין גַּוְונִין כַּחֲדָא, דִּימִינָא וּשְׂמָאלָא, חִיוָּר וְסוּמָק. וָשֵׁשׁ: בּוּצָא אִיהוּ. דְּשִׁית חוּטִין מִתְחַבְּרָן, וְדָא אִיהוּ דִּכְתִּיב, וּגְוִיָּתוֹ כְתַרְשִׁישׁ. וּבְאִלֵּין תְּרֵין, כְּלִילָן תְּרֵין אָחֲרָנִין.

235. "And goats' skins" (Ibid. 3): They are lower Gvurot in the exterior; THEY ARE TIFERET AND MALCHUT THAT ARE IN THE KLIPAH OF NOGAH (ENG. 'BRIGHTNESS') OF BRIYAH that cover the internal ones THAT ARE IN HOLINESS. Everything is necessary, because it is necessary to give place for everything. They come from the side of gold, FOR THEY ARE DRAWN FROM THE SIDE OF GVURAH THAT IS CALLED 'GOLD.' "And rams' skins dyed red" (Ibid. 5): They are drawn from two sides, right and left, WHICH ARE CHOCHMAH AND BINAH OF THE KLIPAH OF NOGAH in order to cover in another place THE HOLINESS, BECAUSE THE GOATS' SKINS COVER OVER THE ASPECTS THAT CORRESPOND TO THEM IN HOLINESS AND RAMS' SKINS DYED RED COVER OVER THE ASPECTS THAT CORRESPOND TO THEM IN HOLINESS.
