The Lord Called unto Moses

From the Side of Ima Emerge Klipot, Investigators of Judgment and Law

249) And when the people of the world improve their actions below, the Dinim are perfumed and impregnated, and the Rachamim awaken and rule over that evil that has awakened from the harsh Din. And when the Rachamim awaken, there are joy and comfort because they rule over that evil, as it is written, “And the Lord repented of the evil.” He repented because the harsh Din has surrendered and the Rachamim ruled.

250) When the Dinim are perfumed and Rachamim rule, each Sefira returns to existence and all are blessed together. When each returns to its place, all are blessed together, and Ima is perfumed with bonding the engravings that returned to her, then repentance is considered whole and the world is atoned for, since Ima sits in complete joy, as it is written, “As a joyful mother of children.” At that time she is called Yom Kippur [the day of atonement], in which it is written, “To cleanse you from all your sins,” and fifty gates of the sides of engravings open.

When the people of the world sin, they cause Malchut’s ascent to Bina. At that time, Bina is diminished from the GAR because her three Sefirot, Bina and TM, fall to the degree below her and she becomes VAK without Rosh. Then all the worlds are in Dinim and Katnut. From the side of Ima, Klipot of investigators of judgment and law come out and rule over the Rachamim. And when the people of the world improve their actions and raise MAN, a Zivug of AB SAG de AK is done, the illumination of the Zivug reaches Ima, who lowers the Malchut from her and returns her to her place. At that time, the three Sefirot, Bina and TM, that fell from her rise back to her and join her degree. Thus, her GAR are completed. So it occurs on all the degrees that diminished due to the diminution of Bina, since Bina and TM return to them and they obtain GAR.

When the Dinim are perfumed and the Rachamim govern, each Sefira returns to its existence, meaning Bina and TM that fell from the degree return to their existence, to their degree. Then Ima is perfumed in the bonding of the engravings, meaning Bina and TM that were engraved and fell from her return and reunite with Ima, meaning return to Ima, since first, they fell to the degree of ZA, and now they have returned to Ima.

251) It is written, “Then it shall be, if he has sinned and is guilty.” “If he has sinned” refers to those transgressions that are called “sin,” as it is written, “Any of the sins of mankind.” “And is guilty” means that he will correct. “Then it shall be, if he has sinned,” if he corrects his actions, “That he shall restore that which he took by robbery.” Restore means that he returns from himself, meaning that he wishes to correct his actions from himself.

The Four Periods of the Year

A year is Malchut, in whom there are four Sefirot, HG TM, in each of which are three lines, which are twelve together. If the left line rules alone over each of the four Sefirot, HG TM, they are called “four periods” because of the strength of the Dinim that extend from the domination of the left, as it was written that the voice stops in four periods of the year.

The voice is the middle line, uniting the two lines—right and left—into one. And when the voice stops, the dominion returns to the left line without the right, since there is no one to connect it to the right. Hence, Dinim awaken, meaning that all the harsh Dinim that extend from the domination of the left awaken in the world. If they repent, repentance is suspended and is not accepted until the voice is corrected and reunites the two lines, right and left, together.

Repentance is suspended until it is corrected. This is why correction precedes repentance. Indeed, it is the way of the Dinim of the left line that in their end, they evoke the Dinim de Nukva, as it is written, “Sin crouches at the door.” This means that the Masach de Hirik of the middle line, called “voice,” is corrected by these Dinim and reunites the two lines. And when the Dinim awaken, a voice comes out, meaning that the Masach de Hirik awakens at the end of them, and the voice comes out of it and reunites the two lines.

At that time, the four corners of the world, HG TM of Malchut, rise, fall, and shine in illumination of Hochma from below upwards and in illumination of Hassadim from above downwards, as is the law in the middle line. Then a herald calls out, meaning that the herald comes out from the pressure of the Dinim on the left line and cautions to cling to the middle line. And if there is no one to watch over and awaken to cling to the middle line, the Creator waits and is ready to accept their penance. If they repent, the Dinim will repent to their place, for He accepts them and shines the Rachamim for them from the middle line. And if they do not repent, the voice—middle line—returns and ceases, the left rules again, and Dinim are made in the world. Then it is as though “it grieved Him” in the outer houses, for the Dinim that were made in the world.

253) Since the day when the Temple was ruined, there has not been a day without evil anger. This is because the Creator has sworn that He will not enter Jerusalem above, meaning Malchut, until Israel enter Jerusalem below. This is why there is anger in the world. And the oath related to the constant state, since there is a non-constant Zivug of ZA and Malchut even during the exile, during prayer and on Sabbaths and good days.
