The
Holy
Idra
Rabah
Cain
and
Abel
326.
Holy
Atik
wanted
to
see
if
the
judgments
had
been
perfumed,
that
these
two,
Adam
and
Eve,
adhered
and
harsh
judgment
came
out
from
the
side
of
the
Nukva,
as
it
is
written,
“And
the
man
knew
Eve
his
wife,
and
she
conceived
and
bore
Cain
and
said,
‘I
have
acquired
a
man
from
the
Lord,’”
since
the
world
could
not
tolerate
because
Eve
had
not
yet
been
perfumed,
and
the
harsh
serpent
had
cast
filth
of
harsh
judgment
in
her.
For
this
reason,
she
could
not
be
perfumed.
When
Cain
came
out
from
the
side
of
the
Nukva,
he
came
out
strong
and
harsh
in
his
judgments.
When
Cain
came
out
of
her,
she
grew
weaker
and
was
perfumed.
After
that,
she
bore
another
soul,
more
sweetened,
and
Cain
superseded
him
for
he
was
stronger
since
all
the
judgments
connected
with
him.
After
The
Zohar
explained
the
emanation
of
the
Nukva
and
the
sowing
off,
and
the
complete
coupling
of
face-to-face
on
the
day
of
Shabbat,
now
it
explains
the
coupling
of
weekdays,
which
was
after
the
eating
from
the
tree
of
knowledge,
which
means
an
awakening
of
extension
of
Hochma
from
above
downward,
according
to
the
will
of
the
serpent
and
all
the
shells,
which
caused
the
coming
of
the
serpent
over
Eve
above,
where
the
shell,
called
the
“upper
serpent,”
received
strength
through
the
sin
of
the
lower
ones
in
the
tree
of
knowledge,
to
adhere
to
the
Nukva
in
order
to
draw
from
her
the
Hochma
from
above
downward,
as
she
was
prior
to
the
sowing.
By
this,
it
awakened
the
power
of
the
left
and
the
posterior
of
the
Nukva,
and
cast
filth
in
the
souls
included
in
the
Nukva,
on
which
he
cast
the
control
of
the
left,
so
they
would
not
want
to
be
incorporated
in
the
right.
For
this
reason,
this
coupling
is
regarded
as
though
two
came
on
Eve,
since
on
the
one
hand,
the
Nukva
adhered
to
ZA,
the
middle
line,
which
corrects
the
Hochma
so
as
to
shine
only
from
below
upward,
and
by
this
unites
the
two
lines
and
clothes
Hochma
with
Hassadim.
On
the
other
hand,
the
serpent
adhered
to
her,
awakening
the
extension
of
GAR
of
the
left,
meaning
from
above
downward,
and
to
separate
her
from
the
right,
Hassadim,
by
resisting
the
middle
line.
She
bore
two
souls,
Cain
and
Abel,
where
Cain
was
born
from
the
filth
of
the
serpent,
and
Abel
was
born
from
the
Hassadim
of
ZA.
After
the
sin
of
the
tree
of
knowledge,
the
Emanator
wanted
to
see
if
the
judgments
in
the
Nukva
had
been
perfumed
in
ZA.
He
wanted
to
see
if
the
sin
of
the
tree
of
knowledge
did
not
blemish
the
judgments
of
the
Nukva,
and
those
two,
Adam
and
Eve,
adhered
to
one
another,
meaning
He
awakened
ZA
and
his
Nukva
to
connect
with
each
other,
and
harsh
judgment
came
out
from
the
side
of
the
Nukva
since
the
filth
of
the
serpent
overcame
the
soul,
and
the
soul
came
out
entirely
from
the
phase
of
Nukva
and
the
filth
of
the
serpent
in
the
state
of
from
above
downward
of
Hochma,
which
is
harsh
judgment
that
does
not
want
to
connect
with
the
right,
as
it
is
written,
“And
the
man
knew
Eve
his
wife
and
she
conceived
and
bore
Cain.”
But
the
world
could
not
tolerate
since
the
Nukva
was
not
perfumed
in
ZA.
Rather,
they
bore
only
with
the
control
of
the
left.
And
what
is
the
reason
that
she
was
not
perfumed
in
ZA,
since
she
connected
to
him?
It
is
because
the
harsh
serpent
cast
filth
of
harsh
judgment
in
her.
Because
of
the
sin
of
the
lower
ones
with
the
tree
of
knowledge,
the
serpent
acquired
the
power
to
cast
filth
in
souls.
Because
of
it,
she
could
not
be
perfumed,
since
he
cast
in
her
the
force
of
the
control
of
the
left
over
the
right,
which
is
called
filth.
After
Cain
came
out
of
her—the
filth
of
the
serpent
and
the
control
of
the
left—the
force
of
the
left
in
her
weakened
and
she
connected
and
was
perfumed
in
the
right,
in
ZA.
After
that
she
bore
another
soul,
more
sweetened,
the
soul
of
Abel,
who
emerged
from
ZA,
from
the
Hassadim.
327.
It
is
written
about
Cain
and
Abel,
“And
it
came
to
pass
that
when
they
were
in
the
field.”
In
the
field
of
above,
the
field
of
apples,
Malchut,
from
which
they
were
born.
The
judgment
of
Cain
defeated
his
brother
because
he
was
harsher
than
him,
and
he
subdued
him
and
concealed
him
under
him.
Finally,
the
Creator
awakened
to
it
and
removed
Cain
from
him,
sinking
him
in
the
hole
of
the
great
abyss,
and
he
includes
his
brother
in
the
sinking
of
the
great
sea,
which
perfumes
the
upper
tears,
and
from
them,
souls
descend
to
the
world,
to
each
according
to
his
way.
Cain
and
Abel
are
left
and
right
in
Malchut.
“And
it
came
to
pass
that
when
they
were
in
the
field,”
above,
in
Malchut,
and
there
was
a
dispute
between
them,
as
is
the
conduct
of
the
right
and
the
left,
and
the
left,
Cain,
defeated
the
right,
Abel.
But
wherever
the
right
and
left
fight
against
each
other,
once
the
right
prevails,
and
once
the
left
prevails,
as
it
is
written,
“They
rose
up
to
the
heavens;
they
went
down
to
the
depths.”
When
the
left
wins,
the
heavens
rise
up,
meaning
it
pulls
GAR,
the
waves
of
the
sea.
When
the
right
wins,
they
go
down
to
the
depths,
meaning
the
waves
of
the
sea
that
rose
up
to
heaven,
their
peak
in
the
power
of
the
left,
when
they
obtain
GAR
of
the
left,
fall
once
more
to
the
holes
of
the
depths,
losing
their
GAR
and
falling
to
VAK
once
more,
the
hole
of
the
great
abyss,
where
Malchut
rose
to
Bina
and
was
diminished
from
GAR.
Thus,
why
is
it
said
here
that
Cain
killed
Abel,
that
the
left
defeated
the
right?
It
is
because
Cain
was
a
very
harsh
judgment,
since
the
filth
of
the
serpent
governed
him.
This
is
why
he
prevailed
over
the
right,
Abel,
subdued
him
and
concealed
him
so
his
existence
would
not
be
recognized,
since
above,
in
spirituality,
there
is
no
other
form
of
killing.
Cain’s
control
continued
until
the
middle
line,
the
Creator,
awakened
and
removed
Cain
from
Him,
removed
the
GAR
from
Him,
and
sank
it
in
VAK
without
GAR
by
dropping
him
into
the
hole
of
the
great
abyss,
the
screen
of
Hirik
from
Malchut
that
rose
to
Bina.
This
is
so
because
such
is
the
way
of
the
middle
line,
to
diminish
the
GAR
of
the
left
through
the
screen
of
Hirik,
and
then
it
is
surrendered
to
be
incorporated
with
the
right.
Now
that
it
has
been
diminished
and
fell
into
sinking
in
the
great
sea,
VAK,
he
is
incorporated
with
his
brother,
with
the
right.
But
this
is
only
when
He
perfumes
the
upper
tears,
when
He
first
brings
out
the
stone
from
the
hole
of
the
abyss,
lowering
Malchut
from
Bina,
and
the
GAR
of
the
left
are
revealed
once
more.
At
that
time,
the
division
between
right
and
left
is
renewed,
and
the
judgments
in
the
left
line
emerge.
They
are
called
“two
tears,”
and
when
the
Creator,
the
middle
line,
draws
the
white,
Hassadim,
the
tears
fall
into
the
sea
of
Hochma
and
are
perfumed,
since
they
are
incorporated
in
the
right.
When
the
sea
perfumes
the
two
tears
with
Hassadim,
Cain
is
incorporated
with
his
brother
Abel,
right.
After
they
are
incorporated,
souls
come
down
from
them
to
the
world,
to
each
according
to
his
way.
If
his
actions
are
in
the
right,
he
draws
a
soul
from
Abel.
If
his
actions
are
in
the
left,
he
draws
a
soul
from
Cain.
328.
Before
they
are
incorporated
with
each
other,
although
they
were
concealed,
they
expanded
in
each
other
and
became
one
body,
controlled
by
Cain.
From
that
body,
souls
of
the
brave
and
brazen
wicked
ones
come
down,
since
it
is
under
Cain’s
control.
Do
souls
come
down
from
both
of
them
together?
After
all,
they
are
two
edges.
However,
one
to
his
side,
and
one
to
his
side.
From
Cain,
souls
of
the
wicked
ones
that
adhere
to
the
waste
of
the
left
are
drawn,
and
from
Abel,
souls
to
the
wicked
ones
that
adhere
to
the
waste
of
the
right
are
drawn.
But
all
this
is
before
they
are
incorporated
with
each
other
in
the
sinking
of
the
great
sea,
which
perfumes
the
upper
tears.
However,
once
they
were
sweetened,
souls
of
the
righteous
are
extended
from
them,
which
are
not
so
righteous.
Happy
are
the
righteous
whose
souls
are
drawn
from
this
holy
body
that
is
called
Adam,
who
contains
everything,
who
is
the
place
of
the
crowns,
the
GAR,
and
the
holy
Sefirot
join
together
into
the
bundle
of
the
cluster,
meaning
that
all
the
Sefirot,
GAR
and
VAK,
right
and
left,
are
all
included
in
it
together.
329.
Happy
are
the
righteous,
to
whom
all
those
holy
things
that
are
said
in
the
high
and
holy
spirit
were
revealed,
the
spirit
in
which
all
the
holy
ones
are
incorporated.
They
are
matters
to
which
upper
ones
and
lower
ones
listen.
Happy
are
you,
who
sit
on
the
throne
of
judgment,
harvesters
of
the
field,
who
know
these
things
and
examine
them,
and
know
your
Master
face-to-face,
eye-to-eye.
With
these
things,
you
will
be
rewarded
with
the
next
world,
as
it
is
written,
“Know
this
day
and
return
to
your
heart
that
the
Lord,
He
is
the
God.”
HaVaYaH
[the
Lord],
Atik
Yomin,
is
the
God,
ZA,
and
it
is
all
one.
