823. “And Adam knew Eve his wife.” We should reflect on that portion.
824. One who has a son, when he begins to speak, he must teach him the verses of the Torah, which awaken fear from the Lord, so that when he grows, he will remember these verses, to fear from his Master.
825. “And she bore Cain, and said, ‘I have acquired a man for the Lord.’” On the day when the friends revealed that sin that Adam had done, it did not have to be revealed to those who do not know the deep and the concealed. That day when the sin of Adam was revealed, we should understand everything from that verse.
826. Adam was commanded on the name and sinned with the name. He was commanded on the unified name HaVaYaH, the tree of life, ZA, and not to another, and he sinned in the common name, the name Elokim, which is also shared by people, as it is written, “and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.”
827. In the beginning, Eve was in transgression about that, as it is written, “And she took of its fruit.” After they sinned and knew the iniquity that they had transgressed, they resented having sinned, and Eve was the most resentful since she began the transgression, transgressing against His great name. When a son was born to her, she felt in the sin that she had sinned in the name Elokim, and said, “I have acquired a man for the Lord,” which is the unified name. This is why she did not say the shared name, Elokim.
828. That reason for the sin of the tree of knowledge reiterates the verse “He who offers to any god shall be put to death.” Just as the Torah said about the one who offers an offering to the name Elokim, “He who offers to any god shall be put to death,” it is much more so with one who replaces His unified name.
Eve returned to confess that iniquity she had committed and said, “This son will not be like us,” to honor someone else besides Him, but this son will truly be the name HaVaYaH, and not to another.
829. Eve said, “for the Lord,” and not for another name. Also, Hannah said, “And I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life,” and not to another name. The Torah said about that, “For you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.”
830. Until when will the friends stroll in the high ladders of the King? We learned that secrets of Torah are given to friends who merit it, like us, and the friends are like us.
