Full Zohar Online - Chukat

32. At the time when the blessings are not available to descend upon the world, WHICH ARE CHASSADIM, AND MALCHUT RECEIVES CHOCHMAH FROM THE LEFT WITHOUT THE CHASSADIM, the world, THAT IS MALCHUT, sits in Judgment. From the left side stirs a spirit that extends over the world, and many regiments of harmful angels dwell in the world and rest over the people, SINCE WHEN CHOCHMAH IS WITHOUT CHASSADIM, ALL THE HARSH JUDGMENTS EMANATE FROM HER. And that spirit defiles them, similar to a person who dies and has a Spirit of Defilement dwell upon him. This is true for whoever comes near that SPIRIT FROM THE LEFT.

32. וּבְשַׁעֲתָא דְּבִרְכָאן לָא מִשְׁתַּכְּחֵי לְנַחְתָּא בְּעָלְמָא, כְּדֵין עָלְמָא יְתִיב בְּדִינָא, וּמִסִּטְרָא דִּשְׂמָאלָא רוּחָא אִתְּעַר וְאִתְפָּשַּׁט בְּעָלְמָא וְכַמָּה חֲבִילֵי טְרִיקִין מִשְׁתַּכְּחֵי בְּעָלְמָא, וְשָׁרָאן עַל בְּנֵי נָשָׁא, וּמְסָאַב הַהוּא רוּחָא לְהוּ, כְּבַר נָשׁ דְּגָוַע וְרוּחַ מִסְאֲבָא שַׁרְיָא עָלֵיהּ. הָכִי נָמֵי שַׁרְיָא, לְמַעַן דְּיִקְרַב בַּהֲדֵיהּ.

Blessing Breath Chassadim Directions Face Grades Offering Purification Sun

33. That is what is meant when it says: "You hide Your face, they are troubled" (Ibid. 29). What does this verse mean? It is only, "You hide Your face, they are troubled." That is because THOSE LEVELS were not watered so that blessings would prevail in the world, SINCE "YOUR FACE" MEANS CHASSADIM AND BLESSINGS. THEN, "You take away their breath (also: 'spirit'), they die" (Ibid.), because another spirit stirs from the left direction, WITHOUT THE RIGHT. The Spirit of Defilement dwells upon people, upon those who died, those who were with them, and on the rest of humanity, MEANING THAT THE SPIRIT OF DEFILEMENT EXPANDS OVER THE WHOLE WORLD. What is its remedy? This is what is written: "and return to their dust" (Ibid.). That means the dust of the burning of this offering in order to have purification, and that is the secret meaning of, "all are of the dust" (Kohelet 3:20), even the sun's circle.

33. הה"ד, תַּסְתִּיר פָּנֶיךָ יִבָּהֵלוּן וְגוֹ.' הַאי קְרָא מַאי קָא מַיְירֵי. אֶלָּא תַּסְתִּיר פָּנֶיךָ יִבָּהֵלוּן, דְּהָא לָא אִתְשַׁקְיָין לְאִשְׁתַּכְּחָא בִּרְכָאן לְעָלְמִין. תּוֹסֶף רוּחָם יִגְוָעוּן, וְאִתְּעַר רוּחָא אַחֲרָא מִסִּטְרָא שְׂמָאלָא, וְרוּחַ מִסְאֲבָא שַׁרְיָא עַל בְּנֵי נָשָׁא, עַל אִינּוּן דְּמֵיתִין, וּמַאן דְּקָאֵים בַּהֲדַיְיהוּ, וְעַל שְׁאַר בְּנֵי נָשָׁא, מַאי אַסְוָותָא דִּלְהוֹן. הָא דִּכְתִּיב וְאֶל עֲפָרָם יְשׁוּבוּן. דָּא עֲפַר שְׂרֵיפַת הַחַטָּאת, בְּגִין לְאִתְדַכְּאָה בֵּיהּ. וְהַיְינוּ רָזָא הַכֹּל הָיָה מִן הֶעָפָר, וַאֲפִילּוּ גַּלְגַּל חַמָּה.

Astrology Breath Creation Earth Ezekiel Face Moon Purification Water World to Come, The

34. After returning to this dust in order to be purified through it, AS MENTIONED NEARBY, the Spirit of Defilement is removed. And another Holy Spirit is aroused, which prevails upon the world. This is what it says: "You send forth your breath (also: 'spirit'), they are created" (Ibid. 30); they are created and healed with the loftier remedy of another spirit. "And You renew the face of the earth" (Ibid.); since it was purified, the moon is renewed and all the realms are blessed. Praised is the lot of Yisrael, since the Holy One, blessed be He, gave them counsel. All of it is a remedy in order to gain life in the World to Come, and for them to be considered purified in this world and sanctified for the World to Come. About them, it is written: "then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean" (Yechezkel 36:25).

34. לְבָתַר דִּמְהַדְרִן לְהַאי עָפָר, בְּגִין לְאִתְדַכְּאָה בֵּיהּ, מִתְעַבָר רוּחָא מִסְאֲבָא, וְאִתְּעַר רוּחָא אַחֲרָא קַדִּישָׁא, וְשָׁארִי בְּעָלְמָא. הה"ד, תְּשַׁלַּח רוּחֲךָ יִבָּרֵאוּן, יִבָּרֵאוּן, וְיִתְּסוּן בְּאַסְוָותָא עִלָּאָה, דְּרוּחָא אַחֲרָא. וּתְחַדֵּשׁ פְּנֵי אֲדָמָה, דְּהָא אִתְדַכִּיאַת, וְחַדְתּוּתֵי דְּסִיהֲרָא אִשְׁתְּכַח, וְעָלְמִין כֻּלְּהוּ מִתְבָּרְכָאן. זַכָּאָה חוּלָקֵהוֹן דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל, דְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא יָהִיב לוֹן עֵיטָא, דְּכֹלָּא אַסְוָותָא, בְּגִין דְּיִזְכּוּן לְחַיֵּי עָלְמָא דְּאָתֵי, וְיִשְׁתְּכָחוּ דַּכְיָין בְּהַאי עָלְמָא, קַדִּישִׁין לְעָלְמָא דְּאָתֵי, עָלַיְיהוּ כְּתִיב וְזָרַקְתִּי עֲלֵיכֶם מַיִם טְהוֹרִים וּטְהַרְתֶּם.

Aaron Atonement Congregation Cows Death Death and the Afterlife Judgment Miriam Moses Purification Red Red Cow Well

35. "Then came the children of Yisrael, the whole congregation into the desert of Zin..." (Bemidbar 20:1). Rabbi Yehuda said: Why is the passage about the laws of the red cow near to the death of Miriam? The explanation was already established. HE RESPONDS: However, since the Judgment was executed upon this cow in order to purify the unclean, Judgment was executed upon Miriam for the purpose of cleansing the world, SINCE THE DEATH OF THE JUST ATONES FOR THE WORLD, and she departed from this world. When Miriam departed, the well that accompanied the children of Yisrael in the desert was gone. And the well of everyone was gone; THAT IS THE SECRET OF MALCHUT.

35. וַיָבֹאוּ בְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל כָּל הָעֵדָה מִדְבַּר צִין וְגוֹ.' ר' יְהוּדָה אָמַר, אֲמַאי פַּרְשְׁתָּא דְּפָרָה, סְמִיכָה לְמִיתַת מִרְיָם. הָא אוּקְמוּהָ. אֶלָּא כֵּיוָן דְּאִתְעָבֵיד דִּינָא בְּהַאי פָּרָה, לְדַכְּאָה לְמִסְאֲבֵי, אִתְעָבֵיד דִּינָא בְּמִרְיָם, לְדַכְּאָה עָלְמָא, וְאִסְתְּלָּקַת מִן עָלְמָא. כֵּיוָן דְּאִסְתַּלָּקַת מִרְיָם, אִסְתַּלָּק הַהוּא בְּאֵר, דַּהֲוָה אָזִיל עִמְּהוֹן דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל בְּמַדְבְּרָא וְאִסְתַּלָּק בֵּירָא בְּכֹלָּא.

Body Hands Heavens Miriam Sun Zeir Anpin

36. Rabbi Aba said that it is written: Now, you "son of man, take up a lamentation" (Yechezkel 28:12), about the virgin of Yisrael, THAT IS MALCHUT. HE ASKS: Is it about her alone? HE RESPONDS: No. It is only that everyone was broken because of her, since it was for her that the breaking of the right OF ZEIR ANPIN followed, THAT IS THE SECRET OF THE DEPARTURE OF CHESED DUE TO THE SEPARATION OF MALCHUT. FOR CHESED was bringing her near to the body, WHICH IS ZEIR ANPIN. And the body, which is the sun, MEANING ZEIR ANPIN THAT INFLUENCES MALCHUT, was dimmed for her, SINCE IT HAD NOBODY TO INSPIRE. This is the secret of: "save with Your right hand, and answer me" (Tehilim 60:7), MEANING SAVE THE RIGHT HAND THAT WAS SEVERED BY THE SEPARATION OF MALCHUT. ALSO, this affected the body, as it is written: "I clothe the heavens with blackness" (Yeshayah 50:3), since the sun, THAT IS ZEIR ANPIN, was darkened because of her. Similar to this is the verse: "And Miriam died there" (Bemidbar 20:1), BECAUSE THAT INDICATES THE DEPARTURE OF MALCHUT. AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THE WEAKENING OF THE RIGHT ALSO OCCURRED AND ZEIR ANPIN WAS DARKENED.

36. א"ר אַבָּא, כְּתִיב וְאַתָּה בֶּן אָדָם שָׂא קִינָא עַל בְּתוּלַת יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְכִי עָלָה בִּלְחוֹדָהָא. לָא. אֶלָּא בְּגִין דְּכֹלָּא אִתְּבַּר בְּגִינָהּ. בְּגִינָהּ אִתְּבַּר יְמִינָא אֲבַּתְרָהּ, דַּהֲוָה מְקָרֵב לָהּ גַּבֵּי גּוּפָא. וְגוּפָא דְּאִיהוּ שִׁמְשָׁא, אִתְחֲשָׁךְ בְּגִינָהּ. וְדָא הוּא רָזָא דִּכְתִּיב הוֹשִׁיעָה יְמִינְךָ וַעֲנֵנִי. גּוּפָא דִּכְתִּיב אַלְבִּישׁ שָׁמַיִם קַדְרוּת, דְּהָא שִׁמְשָׁא אִתְחֲשָׁךְ בְּגִינָהּ. כְּגַוְונָא דָּא וַתָּמָת שָׁם מִרְיָם וְגוֹ.'

Aaron Body Chariot Congregation Miriam Moses Sun Water Well Zeir Anpin

37. "And there was no water for the congregation" (Ibid. 2), since the well of above departed, WHICH IS MALCHUT, as well as the lower, WHICH IS MIRIAM. Then the right was broken, as it is written: "Aaron shall be gathered to his people" (Ibid. 24). HE IS THE SECRET OF CHESED, WHICH IS THE RIGHT. Following that, the sun dimmed, as it is written: "and die in the mount...and be gathered to your people" (Devarim 32:50), AND MOSES WAS THE CHARIOT TO ZEIR ANPIN, REFERRED TO AS 'SUN.' We see here that the right arm was broken and the body, which is the sun, became darkened.

37. וְלֹא הָיָה מַיִם לָעֵדָה, דְּהָא אִסְתַּלָּק בֵּירָא דְּעֵילָּא וְתַתָּא לְבָתַר אִתְּבַּר יְמִינָא, דִּכְתִּיב יֵאָסֵף אַהֲרֹן אֶל עַמָּיו. וּלְבָתַר אִתְחֲשָׁךְ שִׁמְשָׁא, דִּכְתִּיב וּמוּת בָּהָר וְגוֹ.' וְהֵאָסֵף אֶל עַמֶּךָ וְגוֹ.' הָא דְּרוֹעָא יְמִינָא אִתְּבַּר, וְגוּפָא דְּאִיהוּ שִׁמְשָׁא אִתְחֲשָׁךְ.

Aaron Astrology Miriam Moon Moses Solomon Sun Zeir Anpin

38. Come and behold: there was no generation in the world similar to the generation when Moses as well as Aaron and Miriam lived in the world. If you say that the times of Solomon were similar, it is not so. In the times of Solomon, the moon was dominant, SINCE THAT GENERATION WAS RECEIVING FROM THE MOON, WHICH IS MALCHUT, and the sun was gathered, BECAUSE THEY DID NOT RECEIVE FROM ZEIR ANPIN, REFERRED TO AS 'SUN.' During the time of Moses, the moon was gathered, so THAT THEY DID NOT RECEIVE FROM MALCHUT, and the sun was dominant, AS THEY WERE RECEIVING FROM ZEIR ANPIN, REFERRED TO AS 'SUN.'

38. ות"ח, לָא אִשְׁתְּכַח דָּרָא בְּעָלְמָא, כְּדָרָא דְּמֹשֶׁה קַיְּימָא בְּעָלְמָא, וְאַהֲרֹן וּמִרְיָם. וְאִי תֵּימָא בְּיוֹמוֹי דִּשְׁלֹמֹה הָכִי נַמֵּי. לָאו. דְּהָא בְּיוֹמוֹי דִּשְׁלֹמֹה שַׁלִּיט סִיהֲרָא, וְשִׁמְּשָׁא אִתְכְּנִישׁ. וּבְיוֹמוֹי דְּמֹשֶׁה, אִתְכְּנִישׁ סִיהֲרָא, וְשִׁמְּשָׁא שַׁלְטָא.

Aaron Amminadab Astrology Body Miriam Moon Moses Sun Unity Well Zeir Anpin

39. There were three siblings, Moses, Aaron and Miriam, as it says: "and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam" (Michah 6:4). Miriam is the moon, MALCHUT, Moses is the sun, ZEIR ANPIN, Aaron is the right arm, CHESED, and Hur is the left arm, GVURAH. Some say that Nahshon, the son of Amminadab WAS THE LEFT ARM. At first Miriam died, and the moon departed and the well disappeared. Afterward, the right arm that always brings near the moon, WHICH IS MALCHUT, joyfully and with friendship, broke. Therefore, it is written: "and Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took..." (Shemot 15:20). Surely she is Aaron's sister, for he is the arm that brings her near in unity and brotherhood with the body, WHICH IS ZEIR ANPIN.

39. תְּלַת אַחִין הֲווֹ: מֹשֶׁה, אַהֲרֹן, וּמִרְיָם. כד"א וָאֶשְׁלַח לְפָנֶיךָ אֶת מֹשֶׁה אַהֲרֹן וּמִרְיָם. מִרְיָם, סִיהֲרָא. מֹשֶׁה, שִׁמְשָׁא. אַהֲרֹן, דְּרוֹעָא יְמִינָא. חוּר, דְּרוֹעָא שְׂמָאלָא. וְאַמְרֵי לָהּ, נַחְשׁוֹן בֶּן עֲמִינָדָב. בְּקַדְמֵיתָא מִיתַת מִרְיָם, אִסְתָּלָקַת סִיהֲרָא, אִסְתַּלָּק בְּאֵר. לְבָתַר אִתְּבַּר דְּרוֹעָא יְמִינָא, דִּמְקָרֵב תָּדִיר סִיהֲרָא, בְּאָחוּהּ, בְּחידוּ. וע"ד כְּתִיב, וַתִּקַּח מִרְיָם הַנְּבִיאָה אֲחוֹת אַהֲרֹן. אֲחוֹת אַהֲרֹן וַדַּאי, דְּאִיהוּ דְּרוֹעָא, דִּמְקָרֵב לָהּ בְּאַחֲדוּתָא, בְּאֲחְוָה עִם גּוּפָא.
