4. In the same manner, "met you (Heb. karcha) by the way," REFERS TO that supernal evil serpent that was sent to you to defile you on all sides. And if it had not been for Moses becoming strong up above, and Joshua down below, Yisrael would not have overcome it. Therefore the Holy One, blessed be He, bore a grudge against that one for ages. The reasonis that he planned to tear the member of the sign of the covenant from its place. And therefore it is written: "I remember (also: 'visit')" (I Shmuel 15:2), NAMELY, in remembrance (divine visitation), WHICH IS MALCHUT, because the secret of the holy covenant is implied in this word.
4. כְּגַוְונָא דָּא אֲשֶׁר קָרְךָ בַּדֶּרֶךְ וְגוֹ'. אַזְמִין לְגַבָּךְ הַהוּא חִוְיָא בִּישָׁא לְעֵילָּא, לְסָאֲבָא לְךָ בְּכָל סִטְרִין. וְאִלְמָלֵא דְּאִתְתָּקַּף מֹשֶׁה לְעֵילָּא, וִיהוֹשֻׁעַ לְתַתָּא, לָא יָכִילוּ יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵיהּ. וּבְגִין כַּךְ, נָטִיר קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא הַהוּא דְּבָבוּ, לְדָרֵי דָּרִין. מ"ט. בְּגִין דְּחָשִׁיב לְאַעְקְרָא אָת קַיָּימָא מֵאַתְרֵיהּ. וּבְגִין כַּךְ פָּקַדְתִּי, בִּפְקִידָּה, דְּהָא תַּמָּן אִתְרְמִיז רָזָא דְּאָת קַיָּימָא קַדִּישָׁא.
