Repentance
22.
It
is
written,
“Should
one
open
a
pit
or
dig
a
pit
without
covering
it,
and
an
ox
or
a
donkey
falls
into
it,
the
owner
of
the
pit
shall
pay.”
One
who
causes
harm
to
the
world
through
his
sins,
it
is
much
more
so.
Why
does
repentance
help
him,
as
it
is
written,
“And
he
shall
confess
the
sin
that
he
had
done,
and
make
full
restitution
for
his
wrong”?
23.
It
is
certainly
beneficial,
since
he
repented.
Repentance
returns
the
letter
Hey
to
the
Vav,
since
what
he
flawed
above,
he
corrected
it
by
repentance,
as
it
is
written,
“When
a
man
or
woman
commits
any
of
the
sins
that
men
commit
by
unfaithfulness
against
the
Lord,
and
he
shall
confess
the
sin
that
he
had
done,
and
make
full
restitution
for
his
wrong.”
Repentance
corrects
everything:
corrects
above
and
corrects
below,
corrects
himself
and
corrects
the
whole
world.
24.
“When
you
are
in
distress
and
all
these
things
have
happened
to
you
in
the
latter
days,
you
will
return
to
the
Lord
your
God.”
When
you
are
in
distress”
means
that
repentance
is
better
than
anything
before
there
is
judgment
in
the
world.
After
there
is
judgment,
its
power
increases;
who
will
remove
it
from
the
world
and
drive
it
out?
Since
the
judgment
is
already
present,
it
does
not
depart
until
it
is
completed.
After
the
judgment
is
completed
and
he
makes
repentance,
he
corrects
all
the
world.
This
is
the
meaning
of
the
words,
“and
all
these
things
have
happened
to
you
in
the
latter
days,”
and
it
is
written,
“You
will
return
to
the
Lord
your
God
since
the
Lord
your
God
is
a
merciful
God.”
25.
What
has
the
latter
days
got
to
do
with
this?
It
is
to
incorporate
the
assembly
of
Israel,
who
is
called
“latter
days”
in
exile,
and
she
is
with
them
in
trouble,
and
never
leaves
them.
For
this
reason,
although
the
Creator
has
installed
judgment
in
the
world,
He
wants
Israel
to
repent,
to
do
good
to
them
in
this
world
and
in
the
next
world,
and
noting
can
resist
repentance.
26.
Even
the
assembly
of
Israel,
Malchut,
is
called
“repentance.”
It
is
a
high
repentance,
which
is
Bina;
it
is
not
present
anywhere.
But
this
Malchut,
who
is
called
“repentance,”
when
mercy,
which
is
ZA,
returns
opposite
from
her
and
she
nurses
all
her
throng
once
more,
the
best
repentance
is
when
the
sinner
gives
his
soul
to
her
and
she
takes
her
when
he
is
in
repentance.
At
that
time,
everything
is
corrected
above
and
below,
and
he
and
the
whole
world
are
corrected.
27.
One
wicked
in
the
world,
several
others
are
harmed
because
of
him.
Woe
to
that
wicked
one;
woe
to
his
neighbor.
Jonah,
because
he
did
not
want
to
follow
the
mission
of
his
master,
many
people
would
have
been
lost
at
sea
because
of
him,
until
they
all
returned
to
him
and
sentenced
him
to
throw
him
into
the
sea,
and
then
they
were
all
saved,
and
afterwards,
the
Creator
had
mercy
on
him,
and
he
saved
many
multitudes
in
the
world,
the
people
of
Nineveh.
When
was
that?
When
he
returned
in
repentance
to
his
master
out
of
his
plight,
as
it
is
written,
“Out
of
my
plight,
I
called
unto
the
Lord,
and
He
answered
me,”
and
it
is
written,
“From
the
narrow
place
I
called
on
the
Lord;
the
Lord
answered
me
in
the
expanse.”
28.
The
commandment
of
repentance
is
Bina.
Because
of
our
iniquities,
when
the
Temple
was
ruined,
we
remained
with
only
the
confession
of
words,
which
is
Malchut,
who
is
called
“confession
of
words.”
Bina
has
the
letters
of
Ben
[son
of]
Yod-Hey
[Koh].
That
son
is
Vav,
ZA,
who
is
adhered
to
her
and
receives
from
her
the
Mochin
of
Yod-Hey.
Anyone
who
repents,
it
is
as
though
he
returned
the
letter
Hey,
Malchut,
to
the
Vav,
ZA,
Ben
Yod-Hey,
and
with
him,
HaVaYaH
was
completed,
since
the
son
is
Vav,
and
with
the
Yod-Hey,
it
is
Yod-Hey-Vav,
and
with
Malchut,
the
letter
Hey
that
returned
to
it,
the
entire
name
is
completed.
This
is
repentance,
the
turn
of
the
letter
Hey
to
Vav.
29.
The
letter
Hey
is
confession
of
words,
as
it
is
written,
“Take
words
with
you,
and
return
to
the
Lord.
Say
to
Him,
‘Take
away
all
iniquity
and
receive
us
graciously,
for
we
will
offer
the
sacrifices
of
our
lips.”
When
a
person
sins,
he
causes
the
Hey
to
move
away
from
the
Vav,
since
Ben
Yod-Hey,
which
includes
Yod-Hey-Vav,
has
departed
from
the
letter
Hey.
This
is
why
the
Temple
was
ruined
and
Israel
went
away
from
there
and
were
exiled
among
the
nations.
And
for
this
reason,
anyone
who
repents
causes
the
return
of
the
Hey
to
the
letter
Vav.
Repentance
depends
on
this,
and
this
is
why
everything
depends
on
repentance,
as
we
learn,
“All
the
dates
have
passed,
and
the
matter
depends
only
on
repentance,”
which
is
the
wholeness
of
His
name,
since
the
letter
Hey
completes
the
Yod-Hey-Vav
into
HaVaYaH.
30.
This
is
why
it
is
written,
“And
I
will
do
for
the
sake
of
My
name,”
to
complete
the
name
HaVaYaH.
It
is
also
written,
“For
My
sake,
for
My
sake
I
will
do,”
and
if
they
do
not
repent,
I
will
establish
for
them
a
king
whose
decrees
are
harsher
than
the
decrees
of
Pharaoh,
and
they
will
repent
against
their
will,
as
it
is
written,
“And
you
shall
return
unto
the
Lord
your
God,”
indeed,
unto
HaVaYaH,
to
complete
the
name
HaVaYaH.
31.
Repentance,
which
is
Malchut,
and
the
letter
Hey
of
HaVaYaH,
is
called
“life,”
as
it
is
written,
“for
from
it
results
life,”
which
are
the
souls
of
Israel,
which
are
the
results
of
Malchut,
who
is
called
“life.”
Malchut
is
Hevel
[mouth
vapor/nonsense]
that
exits
and
enters
a
person’s
mouth
without
toil
and
without
labor;
it
is
the
letter
Hey
of
Hibaraam
[they
were
created],
since
the
letter
Hey
is
expressed
from
the
mouth
more
easily
than
all
the
letters.
It
is
written
about
it,
“Man
lives
by
everything
that
comes
out
from
the
mouth
of
the
Lord.”
Malchut
is
called
“everything
that
comes
out
from
the
mouth
of
the
Lord.”
It
is
on
a
person’s
head,
as
it
is
said
in
the
Shema
reading,
“And
on
my
head,
the
Shechina
of
God.”
It
is
written
about
it,
“And
he
beheld
the
image
of
the
Lord,”
since
Malchut
is
called
the
“image
of
the
Lord.”
It
is
also
written,
“Only
in
the
image
shall
a
man
walk.”
32.
Because
she
is
on
a
person’s
head,
a
man
must
not
walk
four
cubits
bare-headed,
for
if
she
departs
from
over
a
man’s
head,
life
immediately
departs
from
him.
33.
Is
Malchut
present
also
over
the
nations
of
the
world,
even
though
the
heaven
and
the
earth,
and
all
the
generations
in
them
were
not
created
by
them?
Behibaraam
[when
they
were
created]
has
the
letters
of
“in
Abraham”
[in
Hebrew],
in
whom
heaven
and
earth
and
their
generations
were
created,
as
well
as
the
descendants
of
Abraham,
and
not
of
the
nations
of
the
world.
However,
it
is
certainly
not
present
on
them
since
Moses
asked
the
Creator
for
the
Shechina
not
to
be
present
over
the
nations
of
the
world,
and
He
granted
him
this.
Thus,
the
Hevel
that
is
on
the
nations
of
the
world,
from
which
place
does
it
come?
Or
the
one
that
is
on
the
wicked,
who
are
the
mixed-multitude
that
are
mingled
with
Israel,
from
where
is
it?
Indeed,
not
all
the
faces
are
equal,
and
even
in
Israel,
not
everyone
is
equal,
much
less
others.
34.
We
learn
about
the
shape
of
the
letter
Hey:
“I
have
a
good
gift
in
My
treasure,
whose
name
is
Shabbat
[Sabbath].”
Shabbat
is
Malchut.
When
she
rises
to
Bina
and
is
present
over
Israel,
they
have
neither
labor
nor
enslavement,
and
in
her,
the
soul
toils
and
labors,
as
it
is
written,
“Sabbath,
and
He
rested.”
35.
There
is
another
soul
on
a
person’s
head,
which
is
not
from
Malchut,
and
it
is
called
a
“servant,”
since
it
is
extended
from
Matat,
who
is
called
a
“servant.”
She
is
the
shape
of
the
man
in
the
place
of
Malchut,
and
she
is
the
servant
of
a
king
who
rattles
all
of
a
person’s
organs
to
walk
in
good
ways,
and
to
observe
in
them
248
commandments,
so
the
letter
Hey
of
BeHibraaam
is
on
them,
Malchut,
since
this
is
how
Hibaraam
amounts
to
the
number
248
[in
Gematria].
36.
After
it
clarifies
man’s
Nefesh
[soul],
The
Zohar
interprets
NRNHY
of
Ruach
[spirit],
which
is
extended
to
the
rewarded
person
from
the
four
letters
HaVaYaH
of
ZA,
which
are
present
on
his
head.
It
says
that
there
is
another
form
on
his
head,
which
is
called
“fear,”
Yod
of
HaVaYaH,
KH,
the
lights
Yechida-Haya
of
Ruach.
Since
it
is
Keter,
it
is
discerned
as
fear,
since
fear
is
extended
from
Keter.
It
is
written
about
them,
“And
God
created
the
man
in
His
image,
in
the
image
of
God.”
Twice
“in
the
image”
are
two
good
forms,
male
and
female.
The
male
is
from
the
side
of
the
letter
Yod
of
HaVaYaH,
Yechida-Haya,
and
the
female
is
from
the
side
of
the
letter
Hey
of
HaVaYaH,
Neshama.
37.
The
two
letters
Yod-Hey
awaken
a
person
to
Torah
and
Mitzva
[commandment],
where
the
Torah
is
Vav,
and
the
commandment
is
Hey.
Yod
is
fear
on
a
person’s
head,
and
from
it,
fear
is
extended
to
a
person’s
heart,
to
fear
the
Creator
and
keep
himself
from
transgressing
against
the
commandments
not-to-do.
Hey
is
love
on
a
person’s
head.
From
it,
the
love
of
the
Creator
is
extended
over
a
person’s
248
organs,
to
observe
in
them
the
248
commandments
to-do.
Vav
of
HaVaYaH,
from
whose
side
there
is
the
light
of
Ruach
of
Ruach
on
a
person,
is
on
a
person’s
head.
From
it,
words
enter
a
person’s
heart
to
study
the
Torah,
which
are
Malchut,
Nefesh
of
Ruach,
called
“words,”
the
letter
Hey,
and
HaVaYaH
is
completed.
38.
It
is
written
in
the
words
that
are
extended
into
his
mouth
to
study
the
Torah,
“Take
with
you
words
and
return
to
the
Lord,”
since
the
words
complete
the
Yod-Hey-Vav
with
the
bottom
Hey,
which
is
called
“words.”
By
having
fear,
love,
and
the
Torah
in
you,
which
are
Yod-Hey
Vav-Hey,
since
fear
and
love
are
Yod-Hey,
and
the
Torah
is
Vav,
and
the
words
in
the
mouth
are
the
letter
Hey,
by
this
HaVaYaH,
ZA,
will
return
to
being
Bina,
which
is
repentance,
which
means
returning
of
Vav,
ZA,
to
the
first
Hey,
which
is
the
work
of
creation,
and
it
is
thirty-two
times
Elokim
[God]
in
the
work
of
creation,
Bina.
This
means
that
ZA
and
Malchut
rise
and
clothe
the
GAR
of
Bina,
upper
AVI,
and
the
HaVaYaH
is
completed,
and
in
Malchut
that
rose
to
Bina,
you
will
have
rest
from
everything.
In
her,
as
it
is
written,
“Sabbath,
and
He
rested.”
Malchut
that
ascends
to
Bina
is
called
Shabbat
[Sabbath],
and
she
is
the
rest
and
the
repose.
As
long
as
she
does
not
ascend
to
Bina,
Malchut
is
not
called
Sabbath.
39.
The
Yod-Hey-Vav
will
be
included
in
Malchut,
the
bottom
Hey,
which
rose
to
Bina,
and
the
name
will
be
completed.
This
is
why
it
is
written,
“And
the
heaven
and
the
earth
were
completed,”
on
Shabbat,
which
is
the
wholeness
of
everything.
The
whole
world
was
created
on
it,
and
heaven
and
earth
stand
on
it,
and
the
sea
and
all
the
creations
that
were
created,
as
it
is
written,
“These
are
the
generations
of
the
heaven
and
the
earth
when
they
were
created,”
He
created
them
with
the
Hey,
with
Malchut.
If
she
were
to
move
away
from
the
world
for
even
an
instance,
everything
would
be
ruined
and
canceled,
and
there
would
be
no
existence
to
the
world.
40.
That
Hey
will
not
go
from
a
person’s
body,
and
she
stands
in
it.
When
she
walks
from
him,
the
potion
of
death
will
come
and
be
on
him,
which
is
called
“impurity,”
a
“carcass,”
“unqualified,”
“angel
of
death,”
“darkness,”
“blackness.”
She
is
present
on
a
person’s
body,
and
at
that
time,
a
person
is
called
“dead,”
as
it
is
written,
“‘For
I
have
no
pleasure
in
the
death
of
one
who
dies,’
says
the
Lord
God.
‘Therefore,
turn
and
live!’”
It
should
have
written,
“in
the
death
of
one
who
lives.”
However,
the
wicked
is
already
dead;
this
is
why
it
is
written
“the
death
of
one
who
dies.”
41.
All
the
to-do
commandments
that
were
destined
to
be
in
his
248
organs
mourn
over
him,
as
it
is
written,
“I
have
seen
his
ways,
but
I
will
heal
him;
I
will
lead
him
and
restore
comfort
to
him
and
his
mourners.”
His
mourners
are
the
248
organs
mourning
over
him,
the
upper
form
that
is
on
his
head,
in
which
there
is
the
Yod-Hey-Vav
Hey.
As
there
is
a
good
form
on
the
righteous,
which
leads
him
to
do
all
the
good
deeds,
to
give
him
credit
for
the
next
world,
so
there
is
a
bad
way
on
the
head
of
the
wicked,
to
lead
them
in
bad
deeds
that
they
will
inherit
in
Hell.
For
this
reason,
there
is
Hevel
and
there
is
Hevel.
There
is
good
Hevel,
of
which
it
is
written,
“Man
lives
by
everything
that
comes
out
from
the
mouth
of
the
Lord,”
and
there
is
bad
Hevel,
of
which
it
is
written,
“This,
too,
is
nonsense
[Hevel]
and
pursuit
of
the
wind.”
42.
Man’s
actions
reveal
the
Partzuf
that
is
on
him,
and
the
Partzuf
of
Panim
[anterior/face],
whether
he
is
a
lion
or
an
ox,
an
eagle
or
a
man,
and
whether
from
the
Merkava
[structure/chariot]
of
the
Creator
and
His
Shechina,
or
from
the
evil
Merkava
of
SAM,
or
from
the
Merkava
of
the
four
foundations
of
the
world,
in
which
there
is
neither
the
good
inclination
nor
the
evil
inclination,
but
are
rather
like
the
beasts
of
the
world.
For
this
reason,
there
are
several
differences
in
a
person,
each
according
to
his
kind.
And
for
this
reason,
to
the
extent
that
a
person
allots,
he
is
allotted
to,
and
each
Partzuf
has
an
appointee
over
it.
43.
Each
of
the
six
days
of
creation
has
a
Partzuf
of
the
degree
that
leads
it.
You
will
not
find
a
day
in
which
there
is
no
good,
as
it
is
written,
“And
God
saw
that
it
was
good.”
Although
on
the
second
day,
it
is
not
written
about
it
that
it
is
good,
you
will
find
it
in
the
third
day,
which
is
why
“good”
is
written
twice
in
regard
to
it.
44.
Each
day
has
a
fence
from
the
outside,
so
that
not
any
person
can
enter
the
good
in
it,
as
there
is
darkness
that
covers
the
light.
As
you
find
light
on
the
first
day,
and
as
you
find
darkness
in
it,
so
there
is
guarding
in
each
day.
This
is
guarding
in
the
same
way
that
thorns
guard
the
vineyard
so
no
alien
may
enter
it.
There
are
also
other
guards,
like
serpents
and
scorpions
and
seraphim
[a
kind
of
angels]
who
guard
that
good
so
that
on
one
who
is
unworthy
of
entering
may
come
in
there.
Were
it
not
for
the
guarding,
all
the
wicked
ones
would
be
able
to
come
into
the
secrets
of
Torah.
45.
For
this
reason,
one
who
is
wicked
and
enters
in
order
to
know
the
secrets
of
Torah,
several
sabotaging
angels,
who
are
called
“darkness”
and
“blackness,”
serpents
and
scorpions,
who
are
called
the
“animals
of
the
field,”
confuse
his
thought
so
he
does
not
come
into
a
place
that
is
not
his.
46.
But
one
who
is
good,
all
those
guards
are
at
his
command
to
help
him,
and
the
accuser
becomes
an
advocate.
They
bring
him
to
the
hidden
good
and
say
to
the
hidden
good,
“Our
master,
here
is
a
good
and
righteous
man,
heaven
fearing,
who
wants
to
come
in
before
you.
He
told
us,
‘Open
for
me
the
gates
of
justice
that
I
may
come
through
them
and
thank
the
Lord.’”
Then
that
hidden
good
will
say
to
them,
“Open
for
him
that
gate
called
‘love,’
or
that
gate
called
‘repentance,’
and
each
righteous
will
enter
according
to
his
degree,”
as
it
is
written,
“Open
the
gates,
that
the
righteous
nation
may
come.”
47.
Now
we
must
return
to
the
door
to
repentance,
since
the
repentance
that
people
make
is
from
several
kinds.
They
are
all
good,
but
not
all
the
faces
are
the
same.
There
is
a
person
who
was
completely
wicked
his
entire
life,
who
transgressed
in
several
commandments
not-to-do,
and
regrets
and
confesses
them.
And
afterwards,
he
does
not
do
good
or
bad.
To
this
one,
the
Creator
will
certainly
forgive,
but
he
will
not
be
rewarded
with
high
repentance.
Then
there
is
a
person
who,
having
repented
from
his
sins
and
they
have
been
atoned
for
him,
walks
in
the
ways
of
commandments
and
engages
in
them
with
all
his
might
with
fear
and
love
for
the
Creator.
This
one
is
rewarded
with
the
lower
repentance,
called
Hey,
Malchut.
48.
Then
there
is
a
person
who,
having
regretted
his
iniquities
and
repented,
engages
in
Torah
with
fear
and
love
for
the
Creator,
and
not
in
order
to
receive
reward.
This
one
is
rewarded
with
the
letter
Vav
of
HaVaYaH,
ZA,
Ben
Yod-Hey,
Bina
is
named
after
him,
and
he
caused
the
Vav,
ZA,
to
return
to
Hey,
Malchut.
The
word
Teshuva
[repentance]
has
the
letters
of
“the
Vav
will
return
to
the
Hey.”
49.
Both
Hey
and
Vav
are
never
present
in
a
person
without
fear
and
love,
which
are
Yod-Hey.
Indeed,
we
call
them
fear
and
love,
and
from
there
we
were
given
the
Torah
and
the
commandment,
which
are
a
son
and
daughter,
Vav-Hey,
ZA
and
Malchut.
And
because
Israel
observe
the
Torah
and
the
commandment,
they
are
called
“the
children
of
the
Creator,”
as
it
is
written,
“You
are
the
children
of
the
Lord
your
God.”
50.
it
is
written,
“The
concealed
things
to
the
Lord
our
God,
and
the
revealed
things
to
us
and
to
our
children.”
The
concealed
things
are
fear
and
love,
which
are
in
the
mind
and
in
the
heart.
They
are
in
the
hollow
of
the
body
and
in
the
insides
of
the
head.
They
are
Yod-Hey.
“The
revealed
things
to
us
and
to
our
children”
are
the
Torah
and
the
commandment
in
the
externality
of
the
body
and
the
head,
which
are
Vav-Hey,
since
if
a
person
fears
the
Creator
or
loves
Him,
no
other
person
knows
it,
since
it
is
a
matter
that
is
not
revealed
except
between
the
Creator
and
his
Maker.
51.
However,
a
person
who
engages
in
Torah
and
walks
in
the
commandments
to-do,
this
is
revealed
to
every
person
since
the
Creator
has
made
for
him
a
mouth
openly,
to
engage
in
Torah,
and
eyes
to
look
at
it,
and
ears
to
listen
to
it.
The
Creator
made
hands
and
legs
and
body
in
man,
to
perform
the
commandments
to-do
with
them.
52.
Thus,
why
did
the
Creator
make
the
nose
of
a
person?
It
is
written,
“And
He
breathed
in
his
nostrils
the
soul
of
life.”
This
is
the
form
over
man,
of
whom
it
is
written,
“And
he
dreamed,
and
behold,
a
ladder
is
placed
on
the
earth.”
A
ladder
is
the
soul
of
life,
Malchut,
a
throne
to
the
name
HaVaYaH,
which
is
fear
and
love,
and
Torah
and
commandment,
where
fear
and
love
are
Yod-Hey,
and
Torah
and
commandment
are
Vav-Hey.
In
the
soul
of
life
there
is
the
name
HaVaYaH.
This
is
the
throne,
the
ladder,
from
which
all
the
souls
of
Israel
are
carved,
and
it
is
the
form
over
a
person’s
head.
53.
“And
behold,
angels
of
God
ascending
and
descending
in
it.”
These
are
the
Havalim
[pl.
of
Hevel]
ascending
and
coming
out
in
the
body,
on
this
ladder.
One
ladder
is
the
seventh
among
them.
“Placed
on
the
earth”
is
another
one,
and
they
are
two.
“Its
top
reaches
heaven”
is
another
one,
and
they
are
three.
“And
behold,
angels
of
God
ascending”
are
two,
and
they
are
five.
“And
descending”
are
two
more,
and
they
are
seven.
They
correspond
to
the
four
directions
of
the
world,
and
the
heaven
and
earth
that
shine
in
that
ladder.
It
is
written,
“Vanity
of
vanities
[Hevel
Havalim],
says
Kohelet
[Ecclesiastes],
vanity
of
vanities!
All
is
vanity
[Hevel].”
These
are
seven
Havalim
corresponding
to
the
throne.
“Vanity
of
vanities”
are
three.
The
second
time
“Vanity
of
vanities”
is
six,
and
with
the
final
Hevel
[vanity],
they
are
seven.
They
are
the
ladder
and
the
heaven,
the
sea
and
the
earth,
and
the
four
foundations
of
the
world,
which
are
seven.
They
correspond
to
the
seven
days
of
creation,
HGT
NHYM.
Opposite
them
there
are
all
the
creations
of
heaven
and
earth,
animals,
birds,
beasts,
and
fish,
and
many
generations
that
hang
from
them.
54.
Because
everything
is
caused
in
that
image
that
is
on
all
of
Israel,
who
is
righteous,
Yesod,
it
is
written
about
them,
“And
the
fear
of
you
and
the
dread
of
you
will
be
upon
all
the
animals
of
the
earth,
and
all
the
birds
of
the
sky,
upon
everything
that
creeps
on
the
ground,
and
all
the
fish
of
the
sea.”
This
speaks
about
people,
who
are
comparable
to
animals
of
the
field,
to
beasts,
birds,
and
the
fish
at
sea.
There
is
a
person
whose
sign
is
an
ox,
there
is
one
whose
sign
is
a
lion,
there
is
one
whose
sign
is
an
eagle,
and
there
is
one
whose
sign
is
a
man.
55.
Yet,
all
of
them
fear
the
form
over
the
man,
from
which
they
were
created,
since
the
name
HaVaYaH
is
on
him,
as
it
is
written,
“And
all
the
nations
of
the
earth
shall
see
that
the
name
of
the
Lord
[HaVaYaH]
is
called
upon
you,
and
they
shall
fear
you.”
Anyone
who
blemishes
his
actions,
his
form
is
blemished.
The
name
HaVaYaH
is
not
present
in
a
flawed
place,
for
there
is
darkness
in
that
flaw,
since
there
is
darkness
in
the
flaw
of
the
moon,
Malchut.
As
that
man
blemished
his
form,
so
he
is
blemished
below:
He
becomes
mute,
or
deaf,
or
blind,
or
lame,
so
he
will
be
registered
above
and
below.
56.
That
darkness
is
present
in
his
flaw,
and
the
holy
degrees,
which
are
the
armies
of
the
Creator,
immediately
recognize
him
and
move
away
from
him,
for
they
already
know
that
the
king
is
not
present
in
that
flaw.
And
because
of
it,
the
armies
of
the
king
move
away
from
him,
for
the
armies
of
the
king
are
present
and
come
near
only
to
a
place
where
the
king
is
present,
as
this
is
how
they
are
led
after
him,
like
organs
after
the
body.
57.
In
the
place
where
there
is
darkness,
there
are
several
sabotaging
angels,
which
are
called
serpents
and
scorpions,
approaching
him
and
giving
him
several
bites.
These
are
sufferings.
If
he
has
money,
possessions
from
good
deeds
he
had
done,
if
his
possessions
are
good
deeds,
they
diminish
from
him,
for
every
merit,
every
illumination
that
comes
down
to
him
because
of
the
good
deed,
is
given
to
those
sabotaging
angels,
and
in
return
for
it,
the
sufferings
are
canceled
for
him.
If
he
has
neither
merits
nor
debts
above,
but
all
his
possessions
are
below,
and
for
every
merit,
corporeal
money
comes
down
to
him,
then
the
nations
of
the
world
approach
him
instead
of
sabotaging
angels,
and
he
gives
them
of
his
money
and
is
saved
from
them.
58.
Because
of
it,
Israel
would
sacrifice
to
Azazel,
to
that
darkness.
The
seventy
bulls
corresponding
the
seventy
nations
that
they
would
sacrifice
on
Sukkot
were
to
observe
the
verse,
“If
your
enemy
is
hungry,
feed
him
bread,
and
if
he
is
thirsty,
give
him
water
to
drink.”
As
soon
as
they
repent,
that
darkness
is
removed
from
the
flaw
and
they
are
completed,
as
it
is
written,
“The
Lord
will
also
take
away
your
sin
and
you
will
not
die,”
and
promptly,
the
name
HaVaYaH
returns
upon
him
and
heals
him
from
those
bites
of
suffering,
as
it
is
written,
“and
repent
and
be
healed.”
The
Creator
returns
to
him
as
soon
as
he
repents,
and
that
flaw
is
completed,
as
it
is
written,
“Return
to
Me,
and
I
will
return
to
you.”
59.
All
this
is
in
complete
repentance,
which
causes
the
return
of
Bina,
Yod-Hey-Vav,
to
Hey,
Malchut,
who
went
wandering
from
her
nest,
which
is
a
form
over
man’s
head,
in
which
all
the
commandments
are
connected,
and
in
which
the
ten
Sefirot
are
connected.
When
a
person
performs
one
commandment
and
not
more,
but
does
it
with
fear
and
love
for
the
Creator,
thanks
to
it,
there
are
ten
Sefirot
over
him.
Anyone
who
observes
one
commandment
properly,
it
is
as
though
he
observes
248
commandments
to-do,
since
there
is
no
commandment
that
does
not
incorporate
all
248
commandments
to-do.
