"Keep not your silence, Elohim"

Synopsis

The establishment leaders who lived during the time of Abraham want to slay him because he has enlightened the people and led them away from the futile path of Idol Worshipping. People like Abraham, who dare to initiate positive change and help others in their spiritual awakening, always encounter opposition from forces who seek to propagate chaos and ignorance for their own personal gain.

Relevance

Throughout human history, any major advance in civilization was first met with opposition, defiance, and scorn from those who would not benefit by the betterment of the human condition. This spiritual principle holds true in our own personal life. As opportunities for spiritual advancement present themselves to us, there will be obstacles and opposition. This passage gives us protection from the forces that attempt to impede our spiritual progress.

233. For what reason? Because "For, lo, Your enemies make a tumult.... For they have consulted together with one consent, they make a covenant against You" (Tehilim 3:6). THE NUKVA IS THE ASPECT OF THE LEFT, WHICH IS THE SECRET OF CHOCHMAH WITHOUT CHASSADIM, AND CHOCHMAH CANNOT SHINE WITHOUT CHASSADIM. THEREFORE, ALL THE KLIPOT AND THE ENEMIES OF THE HOLINESS RAISE UP THEIR HEADS. Hence, "Keep not Your silence, Elohim" from awakening toward the upper, ZEIR ANPIN. Because then the right OF ZEIR ANPIN is aroused and attaches Her to itself. WHEN SHE IS ATTACHED TO THE RIGHT - NAMELY WHEN THE CHOCHMAH IN HER IS ENCLOTHED BY THE CHASSADIM OF THE RIGHT - then the enemies are defeated. THIS IS BECAUSE THE ILLUMINATION OF CHOCHMAH DESTROYS ALL THE ENEMIES OF THE HOLINESS. As it written, "Your right hand, Hashem, has become glorious in power, Your right hand, Hashem, has dashed the enemy in pieces" (Shemot 15:6).

Abraham Abram Lot War

234. So come and behold, when all those kings joined to make war against Abraham, they consulted one another about how to destroy him. But as soon as they took control over Lot, Abraham's nephew, they immediately left. As it is written, "And they took Lot, Abraham's brother's son, and his possessions and departed" (Beresheet 14:12). What was the reason? Lot's image was similar to that of Abraham. As a result, they "departed," AS THEY BELIEVED THEY HAD CAPTURED ABRAHAM, which was the purpose of the war.

234. וְתָא חֲזֵי, בְּשַׁעֲתָא דְּאִתְחַבָּרוּ כָּל אִינוּן מַלְכִין, לְאַגָּחָא קְרָבָא עֲלֵיהּ דְּאַבְרָהָם, אִתְיָיעֲטוּ לְאַעֲבָרָא לֵיהּ מִן עָלְמָא, וְכֵיוָן דְּשָׁלְטוּ בְּלוֹט, בַּר אַחוּהָ דְּאַבְרָהָם, מִיָּד אֲזָלוּ, דִּכְתִיב וַיִּקְחוּ אֶת לוֹט וְאֶת רְכוּשׁוֹ בֶּן אֲחִי אַבְרָם וַיֵּלֵכוּ. מ"ט, בְּגִין, דִּדְיוֹקְנֵיהּ דְּלוֹט הֲוָה דָמֵי לְאַבְרָהָם, וּבְגִין כָּךְ וַיֵּלֵכוּ, דְּכָל הַהוּא קְרָבָא, בְּגִינֵיהּ הֲוָה.

236. And the secret behind this is: when Abraham pursued them, then IT IS WRITTEN, "Keep not Your silence, Elohim," AS THE NUKVA WAS AROUSED TOWARD ZEIR ANPIN AND ELEVATED MAYIN NUKVIN (FEMALE WATERS) UP TO HIM TO DRAW CHESED, WHICH IS THE SECRET OF THE RIGHT, until all was attached to Abraham, WHO IS THE SECRET OF CHESED OF ZEIR ANPIN. THIS MEANS THAT HER CHOCHMAH WAS CLOTHED BY CHASSADIM AND HER ILLUMINATION WAS COMPLETED. And when all this was attached to Abraham, then all the kings were defeated before him. As we have previously stated, it is then written: "Your right hand Hashem, has dashed the enemy in pieces."

236. וְרָזָא דְמִלָּה, כֵּיוָן דְּאַבְרָהָם אִתְעַר לְמִרְדַּף אֲבַתְרַיְיהוּ, כְּדֵין אֱלֹקִים אַל דֳּמִי לָךְ, עַד דְּאִתְקַשֵּׁר כֹּלָּא בְּאַבְרָהָם, וְכַד אִתְקַשַּׁר כֹּלָּא בְּאַבְרָהָם, כְּדֵין אִתְבָּרוּ כָּלְהוֹ מַלְכִין מִקַּמֵּיהּ, כִּדְקָא אֲמָרָן, דִּכְתִיב יְמִינְךָ ה' תִּרְעַץ אוֹיֵב וגו'.
