324. “And I saw visions of God.” As these visions were initially covered inside the upper light and were not revealed, now that the light has departed, I see them in the dark, and they are shouting outside, as it is written, “Surely their valiant ones shall shout outside.” I see them, that they will shout outside and descend to exile, which is outside, outside the Land of Israel, outside their boundary.
325. They shout out two cries—one because they have descended into exile, and one because the heavens were opened, that the connection between right and left in the middle line was opened and there is no peace between them. They are two cries, one cry as it is written, “shout outside,” and it is written, “Angels of peace cry bitterly,” those from the side of peace, from the middle line, which makes peace between right and left, will cry over the peace that has been canceled since they lack the river Kvar, the light of Hesed.
326. “On the fifth day of the month” is the fifth year of the exile of King Yehoyachin [Jeconiah]. This day is the fiftieth gate, the day of Shavuot [Feast of Weeks], in which Israel received the Torah on Mount Sinai and heard “I am the Lord your God,” and then “and I will not forget you” came true, that the merit of the giving of Torah is never forgotten, and that day was remembered for them and the Shechina went down to the exile to be with Israel.
327. On the day of the fifth of the month, which are HGT NH, where each of them consists of ten, the day of the fifty gates of Bina, which were revealed on the day when Israel received the Torah on Mount Sinai, it is the revelation of the fiftieth gate, as it was in the giving of the Torah, when several Merkavot [structures/chariots] and camps came down, surrounded the upper throne, Bina, and the Creator sat on the throne inside the High Glory, Bina, of the king who rules with adornment, who stretched out the heaven, ZA, and the heaven of the heaven, Bina, on Mount Sinai, and gave the Torah.
328. At that time, there was more joy for Him than in the day when heaven and earth were created, since heaven and earth were created on the condition of observing the Torah; this is why they did not persist in their existence until the day when the Torah was given to Israel. Once Israel received the Torah on Mount Sinai, the world was sweetened and heaven and earth existed.
329. As there was joy to the Creator on that day of the reception of the Torah, so here was a day of confusion and sadness for the expulsion of the Shechina from the holy boundary, from the Land of Israel. And when that prophesy was revealed, it was revealed only on that day, the day that the Creator will remember for Israel that covenant of Mount Sinai, when they received the Torah.
