"Because I will call on the name of Hashem; ascribe greatness to our Elohim"

Synopsis

Rabbi Shimon tells us that people have to arrange their praise to God in a certain way so that the glory can be raised upward and the blessings can be drawn downward; then they need to create the bond of Faith in order to unify the Holy Name.

Faith Grades Infinity Moses Righteous Shechinah Zeir Anpin

33. Whence do we know that? From Moses. At first HE SPOKE from below upward, SAYING, "Because I will call on the name of Hashem" (Devarim 32:3). What is "call"? It is as in, "called to Moses" (Vayikra 1:1), which is the Shechinah. Then he said, "Ascribe greatness to our Elohim," which is the supernal King, NAMELY ZEIR ANPIN. Then he descended the grades from above downward, FROM ZEIR ANPIN TO MALCHUT, as it is written, "just and right is He" (Devarim 32:4), WHICH ARE YESOD THAT IS CALLED 'RIGHTEOUS,' AND 'JUST' THAT IS MALCHUT. Then he bound the bond of Faith and said, "is He," NAMELY "JUST AND RIGHT is He," which binds everything, BECAUSE "HE" IS THE THIRD, HIDDEN PERSON THAT ALLUDES TO THE BLESSED INFINITY THAT BINDS EVERYTHING.

33. מְנָלָן מִמֺּשֶׁה, בְּקַדְמֵיתָא, מִתַּתָּא לְעֵילָּא, כִּי שֵׁם יְיָ' אֶקְרָא. מַאי אֶקְרָא. כְּמָה דִּכְתִּיב, וַיִּקְרָא אֶל מֺשֶׁה, דָּא שְׁכִינְתָּא. לְבָתַר, הָבוּ גֺּדֶל לֵאלֹהֵינוּ, דָּא מַלְכָּא עִלָּאָה. לְבָתַר נָחִית בְּדַרְגּוֹי מֵעֵילָּא לְתַתָּא, דִּכְתִּיב צַדִּיק וְיָשָׁר. לְבָתַר קָשִׁיר קִשְׁרָא דִּמְהֵימְנוּתָא וְאָמַר, הוּא, וְדָא הוּא קִשְׁרָא לְכֺלָּא.

34. For that reason man needs to arrange his Master's praise in the same way, at first from below upward, to raise the glory of his Master, WHICH IS MALCHUT, to the place where the water of the depth of the well flows and emerges, THAT IS, TO THE PLACE OF BINAH. Then to draw from above downward to each and every grade OF THE SEVEN LOWER SFIROT down to the last grade, WHICH IS MALCHUT, in order to draw blessings to everything from above downward. Then we need to bind the bond on everything, the bond of Faith, THAT IS, TO BIND EVERYTHING TO BLESSED INFINITY AS MENTIONED. Such a man glorifies his Master, to unify the Holy Name. Hence it is written, "for them that honor Me I will honor" (I Shmuel 2:30), for those who honor Me in this world shall I honor in the World to Come.

34. בג"כ, בָּעֵי בַּר נָשׁ לְסַדְּרָא שְׁבָחָא דְּמָארֵיהּ כְּהַאי גַּוְונָא, בְּקַדְמֵיתָא מִתַּתָּא לְעֵילָּא, לְסַלְּקָא יְקָרָא דְּמָארֵיהּ, לַאֲתָר דְּשַׁקְיוּ דַּעֲמִיקָא דְּבֵירָא נָגִיד וְנָפִיק. לְבָתַר לְאַמְשָׁכָא מֵעֵילָּא לְתַתָּא, מֵהַהוּא שַׁקְיוּ דְּנַחֲלָא, לְכָל דַּרְגָּא וְדַרְגָּא, עַד דַּרְגָּא בַּתְרָאָה, לְאַמְשָׁכָא בִּרְכָאן לְכֺלָּא, מִלְּעֵילָּא לְתַתָּא. לְבָתַר בָּעֵי לְקַשְּׁרָא קִשְׁרָא בְּכֺלָּא, קִשְׁרָא דִּמְהֵימְנוּתָא. וְדָא הוּא ב"נ דְּאוֹקִיר לִשְׁמָא דְּמָארֵיהּ, לְיַחֲדָא שְׁמָא קַדִּישָׁא. וְעַל דָּא כְּתִיב, כִּי מְכַבְּדַי אֲכַבֵּד, כִּי מְכַבְּדַי לְעָלְמָא דָּא, אֲכַבֵּד בְּעָלְמָא דְּאָתֵי.
