Let
the
Earth
Bring
Forth
Grass
–
2
531.
“And
God
said,
‘Let
the
earth
bring
forth
grass,
herb
yielding
seed,
and
the
fruit
tree
that
yields
fruit
according
to
its
kind.’”
It
is
written,
“Awake,
O
north,
and
come,
Yemen,
blow
upon
my
garden;
let
its
perfumes
flow.
Let
my
beloved
come
to
his
garden,
and
eat
its
choicest
fruits.”
One
should
reflect
upon
one’s
actions
and
visit
them
each
day,
since
the
Creator
placed
in
him
a
pure
soul
to
know
and
recognize
his
maker,
and
to
behold
the
wonders
that
He
makes
each
and
every
day.
532.
Four
winds
blow
each
day
from
the
four
directions
of
the
world.
The
east
wind
blows
from
morning
until
midday,
and
they
emerge
with
it
from
the
treasure
of
desirables.
There
is
a
treasure
above
in
the
gates
of
the
east
with
desirables
in
it.
There
are
3075
winds
of
healing
in
it
for
the
world.
533.
It
is
written,
“a
cloudless
morning.”
When
it
is
morning,
one
who
has
pains
and
illnesses
is
not
caught
in
the
cloud,
in
the
quality
of
judgment,
called
“cloud.”
534.
There
is
an
angel
appointed
from
morning
until
midday
in
that
wind
that
comes
from
the
east,
and
his
name
is
Michael,
the
appointee
over
the
east.
He
is
Michael
of
whom
it
is
written,
“Behold,
My
Angel
shall
go
before
you.”
In
looking,
you
will
find
that
Michael
has
the
letters
of
“my
angel”
[in
Hebrew],
and
this
is
the
meaning
of
what
the
Creator
said
to
Moses,
“Behold,
My
Angel
shall
go
before
you,”
meaning
“Behold,
Michael
will
go
before
you.”
535.
When
the
east
wind
awakens
to
go
out
to
the
world,
one
who
walks
along
the
road
and
aims
his
spirit
for
it,
at
that
time,
all
the
blessings
that
he
is
blessed
come
true
and
he
will
be
happy
all
of
that
day.
536.
The
west
wind
blows
from
midday
until
nightfall,
and
from
the
treasure,
a
spring
of
465
winds
come
out
with
it,
to
grow
herbs
and
trees
and
crops.
The
name
of
the
angel
appointed
from
midday
until
nightfall
is
Raphael,
who
is
appointed
to
the
west
side.
537.
Thus,
the
name
of
the
angel
appointed
over
healing
is
Raphael,
but
it
is
said
that
the
healing
comes
from
the
east,
and
Michael
is
appointed
over
it.
538.
However,
all
of
the
Creator’s
actions
toward
people
are
in
order
for
them
to
know
Him,
that
He
strikes
and
heals.
People
will
not
pay
attention
to
an
angel
or
a
minister,
which
is
why
He
changes
occasions
and
times,
so
they
will
not
say
that
this
or
that
angel
did
this
for
him,
but
everything
is
in
His
hand.
539.
Therefore,
He
changes
winds
until
they
pray
to
Him
and
repent,
and
then
He
will
command
the
healing
to
be
on
him,
and
that
angel
appointed
over
healing
does
what
He
had
been
commanded
by
his
Master’s
will.
540.
See
the
Creator’s
mercy,
that
He
does
not
strike
a
person
until
his
actions
come
up
on
the
scales
in
the
courthouse
of
above,
and
the
one
appointed
over
the
judgment
is
Michael.
The
Creator’s
mercy—although
for
him,
he
justly
deserves
the
judgment—He
brings
him
a
wind
of
healing
every
day
until
a
person
reforms
his
actions
and
returns
from
them
before
his
Master,
and
then
He
sends
him
healing
through
that
messenger
appointed
over
him,
Michael.
541.
The
south
wind
blows
from
the
beginning
of
the
night
until
midnight,
and
with
it,
275
winds
emerge
from
that
treasure
of
desirables,
to
fertilize
the
land
and
to
warm
the
coolness.
The
name
of
the
angel
appointed
over
it
is
Uriel,
who
is
appointed
to
the
south
side
in
that
wind.
That
wind
is
hard
for
the
sick,
and
they
are
afflicted
by
it,
and
this
is
good
for
the
world.
At
that
time,
the
wicked
are
sentenced
in
the
fire
of
Hell,
and
the
whole
world
lies,
hallucinating
in
their
sleep,
and
there
is
no
one
to
pray
for
them.
542.
The
north
wind
blows
from
midnight
to
morning.
Three
hundred
thousand
winds
and
storms
come
with
it,
and
this
is
the
hardest
of
all
to
everyone,
and
good
for
the
sick,
since
from
all
the
coolness
in
it,
it
cools
the
great
heat
in
them.
543.
At
the
same
time,
the
Creator
goes
out
from
these
many
worlds
that
He
desires,
and
comes
to
play
with
the
righteous
in
the
Garden
of
Eden.
The
voice
of
the
herald
declares
ahead
of
Him
and
says,
“Awake,
O
north,
and
come,
Yemen,”
meaning
“Awake,
north
wind.”
It
awakens
to
come
to
the
world
and
blow
into
the
perfumes
of
Eden,
as
it
is
written,
“Blow
upon
my
garden;
let
its
perfumes
flow.”
544.
When
the
north
wind
blows
at
half
the
night,
and
the
Creator
enters
the
Garden
of
Eden,
all
the
perfumes
and
all
the
trees
in
the
Garden
of
Eden
emit
their
scent
and
sing
before
Him,
as
it
is
written,
“Then
the
trees
of
the
forest
will
sing
before
the
Lord.”
“Forest”
is
as
it
is
written,
“I
have
eaten
my
honeycomb
[spelled
like
“my
forest”
in
Hebrew]
with
my
honey.”
545.
All
the
righteous
ones
enjoy
the
luster
of
the
mirror
of
above
and
are
nourished
by
it,
and
sing
before
their
maker
in
the
Garden
of
Eden.
This
is
as
it
is
written,
“Let
my
beloved
come
to
his
garden,
and
eat
its
choicest
fruits.”
Can
it
be
that
the
Creator
would
eat?
This
is
not
so;
rather,
it
is
as
one
who
says
“Let
the
governor
of
the
house
come,
and
let
the
guest
eat.”
So
it
is
written,
“Let
my
beloved
come
to
his
garden,”
meaning
when
my
beloved
comes
to
his
garden,
he
will
eat
what
waits
for
him
there,
which
is
“its
choicest
fruits,”
the
righteous,
who
are
the
Creator’s
choicest
fruits.
546.
When
the
north
wind
begins
to
blow,
all
the
skies
and
all
the
firmaments,
the
holy
animals,
and
the
ophanim
[type
of
angels],
and
all
the
hosts
of
the
sky
are
shaken
and
rattled,
and
burst
in
song
and
praise
to
the
one
who
said,
“Let
there
be
the
world,”
until
He
enters
the
Garden
of
Eden
with
the
righteous
at
midnight.
547.
Anyone
in
whom
there
is
a
holy
soul
and
hears
the
voice
of
the
rooster
calling
at
midnight—since
at
midnight,
when
the
Creator
enters
the
Garden
of
Eden,
a
spark
of
fire
emerges
from
between
the
wheels
of
the
animals
and
walks
throughout
the
world,
touching
under
the
wings
of
the
rooster—at
that
time,
it
flaps
its
wings
against
each
other
with
fear
and
calls.
This
is
at
midnight.
548.
One
who
has
intelligence
in
his
heart
and
awakens
and
rises
to
engage
in
Torah,
his
voice
travels
and
is
heard
in
the
Garden
of
Eden,
and
the
Creator
listens.
The
righteous
ask
Him,
“Lord
of
the
world,
who
is
it?”
And
He
replies
and
says,
“It
is
so
and
so,
and
the
holy
soul
he
has
within
him
engages
in
Torah.
Listen,
all
of
you,
since
it
pleases
Me
more
than
all
the
songs
and
praises
that
are
said
above.”
549.
It
is
written,
“She
who
dwells
in
the
garden,
friends
are
listening
to
your
voice;
let
me
hear
it.”
The
Creator
says
to
the
soul:
“Holy
soul,
you
dwell
in
that
world
in
the
gardens,
between
defamation
and
filth,
and
engage
in
Torah.
At
that
time,
friends
are
listening
to
your
voice,
which
is
pleasant.
And
since
this
is
so,
let
Me
hear
it,
and
raise
your
voice
in
My
Torah,
and
I
will
reward
you
with
Hesed
in
the
next
world.”
550.
David
knew
the
midnight
hour.
A
violin
was
hanging
over
David’s
bed,
and
when
it
was
midnight,
north
wind
would
come
and
blow
it,
and
he
would
promptly
rise
and
grow
strong
in
songs
and
praises,
as
it
is
written,
“Awake,
my
glory!
Awake,
harp
and
violin!
I
will
awaken
the
dawn.”
551.
How
do
we
know
that
the
north
wind
would
blow
the
violin?
It
is
written
here,
“Awake,
my
glory,”
and
it
is
written
there,
“Awake,
O
north.”
As
there,
it
is
north,
so
here,
it
is
north.
They
would
listen
to
David
each
night,
the
Creator
and
all
the
righteous
in
the
Garden
of
Eden.
That
was
at
half
the
night.
552.
The
Creator
made
the
Garden
of
Eden
below,
on
earth,
aiming
opposite
the
throne,
which
is
Malchut,
and
the
awesome
veil,
which
is
the
firmament
like
the
awesome
ice
that
is
above
Malchut.
There
is
a
certain
place
in
the
Garden
of
Eden
where
no
eye
of
a
prophet
or
a
visionary
has
governed
to
see,
neither
in
a
vision
nor
in
a
mirror.
Its
name
is
Eden,
upper
Hochma,
as
it
is
written,
“The
eye
has
not
seen
a
God
besides
You,”
after
whose
name
it
is
called
“the
Garden
of
Eden.”
553.
That
garden,
Malchut,
which
is
below
it,
is
nourished
from
that
Eden
above
it,
the
upper
Hochma.
From
there,
all
the
trees
and
all
the
crops
and
all
the
plants
in
the
garden—namely
the
degrees
of
lights
and
souls
and
angels
in
the
garden—are
fertilized.
554.
Three
times
a
day,
that
Eden
of
above,
over
the
garden,
drips
from
all
the
good
scents,
the
sublime
lusters,
the
joys
and
the
desirables.
The
whole
world
is
nourished
by
that
scent
and
desirables,
and
the
joy
that
descend
upon
it.
The
Hochma
is
bestowed
upon
Malchut
through
the
three
lines
of
ZA,
and
this
is
the
three
times
a
day
that
that
Eden
of
above
drips
each
day
over
the
garden
from
all
the
good
scents.
All
the
lower
ones
in
BYA
receive
from
that
scent,
and
the
desirables
and
joy.
555.
When
the
Creator
said,
“Let
the
earth
bring
forth
grass,”
first,
the
earth
immediately
grew
all
the
crops
and
all
the
grasses
and
all
the
trees
that
are
in
the
Garden
of
Eden,
and
then
grew
for
the
whole
world.
The
earth
grew
for
the
whole
world,
and
the
Creator
grew
for
the
Garden
of
Eden,
as
it
is
written,
“And
the
Lord
God
planted
a
garden
in
Eden,
in
the
east.”
556.
The
earth
grew
everything,
and
the
Creator
sorted
the
choicest
among
them
and
planted
them
in
the
Garden
of
Eden.
And
everyone
is
nourished
by
what
comes
down
from
Eden,
as
it
is
written,
“The
trees
of
the
Lord
are
full,
the
cedars
of
Lebanon
which
he
has
planted,
where
birds
make
their
nests.”
The
birds
are
the
righteous,
for
whom
the
Creator
makes
wings
like
birds,
to
fly
up
with
knowledge
and
intelligence,
and
to
raise
them
to
that
place
that
is
concealed
for
them,
of
which
it
is
written,
“The
eye
has
not
seen
a
God
besides
You,
who
does
for
the
one
who
waits
for
Him.”
557.
The
earth
engendered
grasses,
which
are
grown
for
later,
through
sowing
them,
and
they
grow
in
order
to
do
for
the
needs
of
the
world.
And
all
the
herbs
of
medicine
to
heal
people
with
them,
the
earth
engendered
and
grew
all
of
them
at
the
same
time.
558.
On
the
day
when
the
sky
and
the
earth
were
created,
everyone
made
their
offspring,
and
nothing
was
denied
from
them,
as
it
is
written,
“These
are
the
generations
of
the
heaven
and
the
earth.”
When
were
these
generations
made?
As
it
is
written,
“On
the
day
when
the
Lord
God
made
the
earth
and
the
sky.”
On
that
very
day,
all
the
needs
of
the
world
were
made.
Afterwards,
He
revealed
them
each
day,
and
gave
the
reason
for
every
thing
on
the
day
it
was
revealed.
559.
On
the
day
when
the
earth
was
created,
it
engendered
and
grew
all
its
generations,
and
they
were
all
concealed
under
it,
until
the
Creator
told
it,
“Let
the
earth
bring
forth.”
He
did
not
say,
“Let
the
earth
create,”
but
rather
“Let
the
earth
bring
forth”
that
which
was
concealed
in
it,
and
it
brought
forth
every
single
thing
in
that
nature
that
it
should
bring
forth
and
sow
from
them
as
similar
to
them,
as
their
own
kind.
560.
So
did
the
Creator
to
the
earth,
like
that
impregnated
female,
who
then
extracts
her
offspring
from
her,
so
was
the
earth
when
it
was
created:
She
was
impregnated
by
all
the
elements
that
entered
her,
and
they
emitted
all
her
offspring.
561.
Like
the
tendons
of
the
womb
in
the
woman
are
filled
by
the
semen
of
the
man,
in
which
there
are
all
the
elements,
so
was
the
earth:
On
the
same
day
she
was
created,
on
that
same
day
she
was
impregnated
with
all
that
she
engendered,
as
it
is
written,
“In
the
beginning,
God
created
the
heaven
and
the
earth,”
and
promptly,
“and
the
earth
was
Tohu
ve
Bohu
[formless
and
void],
and
darkness
on
the
face
of
the
deep,
and
wind.”
There
are
four
basic
elements
here:
fire,
water,
wind,
and
darkness.
These
engendered
all
her
offspring,
and
every
one
was
founded
from
them;
all
the
generations
were
formed
from
these
forces.
562.
The
swamps
in
the
earth
are
filled
with
semen
like
a
female,
from
those
upper
waters,
which
are
males,
and
she
is
impregnated
by
them
like
a
female
is
impregnated
by
the
male.
563.
It
is
written,
“Let
the
earth
bring
forth
grass,
herb
yielding
seed,
and
the
fruit
tree
that
yields
fruit
according
to
its
kind.”
If
the
earth
yielded
trees
and
fruits,
why
is
it
written
afterwards
“When
no
bush
of
the
field
was
yet
in
the
land
and
no
small
plant
of
the
field
had
yet
sprung
up”?
564.
So
it
is:
She
already
brought
forth
the
offspring,
but
at
that
time,
the
generating
force
was
still
in
the
trees
and
in
the
grasses,
so
they
could
engender
others,
since
the
Lord
God
had
not
poured
torrent
on
the
earth,
and
there
was
no
mist
rising
from
the
earth,
for
if
there
were,
they
would
already
have
all
the
forces
to
engender
and
grow
within
them.
But
because
He
had
still
not
poured
torrent,
the
generating
force
was
still
not
in
the
earth.
565.
It
is
written,
“And
the
descendants
of
the
Kenite,
Moses’
father-in-law,
went
up
with
the
people
of
Judah
from
the
City
of
Palms.”
Why
did
the
children
of
Jethro
saw
fit
to
rise
from
there?
566.
Jericho
was
tantamount
to
the
entirety
of
the
Land
of
Israel
from
all
the
pleasures
that
were
in
it.
It
is
called
Jericho
after
the
scent.
The
children
of
Jethro
said,
“We
must
engage
in
Torah,
and
the
Torah
does
not
need
pleasures;
let
us
rise
from
here
to
the
mountain
and
engage
in
Torah.”
568.
“Let
the
earth
bring
forth
grass.”
The
earth
let
out
all
the
generations
that
were
in
her
and
were
concealed
in
her,
and
their
powers
were
not
in
them
until
the
Lord
showered
the
earth,
and
all
the
offspring
stood
with
their
complete
force,
and
it
is
written,
“And
God
saw
that
it
was
good.”
