Deeds Wisdom Women

11. "If a woman has conceived seed" (Vayikra 12:2). Rabbi Chizkiyah opened with the verse, "Hashem, how manifold are Your works" (Tehilim 104:24). How many are the deeds of the Holy King in the world. This is likened to a man who took different kinds of seeds together and planted them at the same time. Afterwards each kind sprouts on its own. The Holy One, blessed be He, similarly does His deeds with wisdom, wisely taking everything together and planting them. Afterwards each comes out in its own time. This is the meaning of, "in wisdom have You made them all" (Ibid.).

11. אִשָּׁה כִּי תַזְרִיעַ. רִבִּי חִזְקִיָּה פָּתַח, מַה רַבּוּ מַעֲשֶׂיךָ יְיָ.' כַּמָה סַגִּיאִין עוֹבָדוֹהִי דְּמַלְכָּא קַדִּישָׁא בְּעָלְמָא, מְתַל לב"נ דְּנָטִיל בִּידוֹהִי כַּמָה מַקְטוּרִין כַּחֲדָא, וְזָרַע לוֹן בְּזִמְנָא חֲדָא, וּלְבָתַר נָפִיק כָּל חַד וְחַד בִּלְחוֹדוֹי. כַּךְ קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא עֲבִיד עוֹבָדוֹהִי בְּחָכְמָה, וּבְחָכְמָה נָטִיל כֺּלָּא כַּחֲדָא וְזָרַע לוֹן, וּלְבָתַר נָפְקוּ כָּל חַד וְחַד בְּזִמְנֵיהּ, הה"ד כֻּלָּם בְּחָכְמָה עָשִׂיתָ.

Deeds Wisdom

12. Rabbi Aba said, "Hashem, how manifold are Your works." How many are the deeds of the Holy deed. All, EVERYTHING EXISTENT THROUGHOUT THE WORLDS, is hidden with wisdom. Hence it says, "In wisdom have You made them all." They are all incorporated in wisdom and emerge only by means of specific paths, THE 32 PATHS OF WISDOM to Binah. From there, FROM BINAH, everything is made and accomplished. Hence, "by understanding it is established" (Mishlei 24:3). It therefore says, "in wisdom have You made them all" in Binah, THROUGH BINAH.

12. אָמַר רִבִּי אַבָּא, מָה רַבּוּ מַעֲשֶׂיךָ יְיָ,' כַּמָה סַגִּיאִין אִינּוּן עוֹבָדוֹהִי דְּמַלְכָּא קַדִּישָׁא, וְכֻלְּהוּ, סְתִימִין בְּחָכְמָה, הה"ד כֻּלָּם בְּחָכְמָה עָשִׂיתָ. כֻּלְּהוּ בְּחָכְמָה כְּלִילָן, וְלָא נָפְקֵי לְבַר אֶלָּא בִּשְׁבִילִין יְדִיעָן, לְגַבֵּי בִּינָה. וּמִתַּמָּן, אִתְעָבֵידוּ כֺּלָּא וְאִתְתְּקָנוּ, הה"ד וּבִתְבוּנָה יִתְכּוֹנָן. וְעַל דָּא כֻּלָּם בְּחָכְמָה עָשִׂיתָ, בְּבִינָה.

Congregation Creation Earth Heaven Rivers Seas Tetragrammaton Yud Hei Vav Hei (YHVH)

13. "The earth is full" (Tehilim 104:24) : the earth is the Congregation of Yisrael, WHICH IS MALCHUT, which is filled of all things from there, FROM BINAH, as it is written, "All the rivers run into the sea..." (Kohelet 1:7). "Your creatures" were brought forth by MALCHUT afterwards, as it is written, "These are the generations of the heaven and of the earth when they were created (Heb. behibr'am)" (Beresheet 2:4), WHICH CAN BE CONSTRUED AS 'BEHEI BERA'AM (HE CREATED THEM WITH HEI).' IT IS MALCHUT, THE LAST HEI OF YUD HEI VAV HEI. For that reason, "the earth is full of Your creatures."

13. מָלְאָה הָאָרֶץ, הָאָרֶץ: דָּא כ"י, דְּמִתַּמָּן אִתְמַלְּיָא מִכֺּלָּא, כד"א כָּל הַנְּחָלִים הוֹלְכִים אֶל הַיָּם וְגוֹ.' קִנְיָנֶיךָ. דְּהִיא אַפִּיקַת לוֹן לְבָתַר, הה"ד אֵלֶּה תוֹלְדוֹת הַשָּׁמַיִם וְהָאָרֶץ בְּהִבָּרְאָם, בְּה' בְּרָאָם. בְּגִינֵי כַּךְ מָלְאָה הָאָרֶץ קִנְיָנֶיךָ.
