SYNOPSIS:

Rabbi Shimon says that the Levite must serve from age 25 to age fifty, after which his strength is declining and his voice is not as strong. The place to which the Levite is assigned is from strong judgment and must not be flawed by any weakness. We hear that whoever comes from the side of Judgment, like the Levites, must not grow hair since that increases Judgment in the world. All powers and Corrections (formations) come from the priests, who are from the right side. And the body that is the Central Column is the essence of everything, connecting left and right.

Pasook 54. from the Zohar Sulam Commentary on Parasha Beha'Lotcha

זֹאת אֲשֶׁר לַלְוִיִּם וְגוֹ'. ת"ח, לֵיוָאָה בַּר חָמֵשׁ וְעֶשְׂרִין שְׁנִין סְלִיק לְדוּכְתֵּיהּ וְאִתְעַטָּר. וְחָמֵשׁ וְעֶשְׂרִין יִפְלַח עַד דְּסָלִיק לְדַרְגָּא דְּחַמְשִׁין. כַּד סָלִיק לְהַאי דַּרְגָּא דְּחַמְשִׁין שְׁנִין וּלְהָלְאָה, נָחִית מִן תּוּקְפָּא דְּאֶשָּׁא דְּבֵיהּ, וְכֵיוָן דְּאֶשָּׁא וַחֲמִימוּתָא אִתְקָרִר, הָא פָּגִים לְהַהוּא אֲתָר דְּאִתְקְשַׁר בֵּיהּ.

Translation

"This is that which belongs to the Levites" (Bemidbar 8:24). Come and behold: the Levite, who is 25 years old, reaches his place and is adorned. He will do service work for 25 years until he reaches the grade of fifty. When he reaches the grade of the fiftieth year and onward, he declines from the strength of fire within him. Since the fire and heat get cooler, he causes damage to the place to which he is connected, WHICH IS THE LEFT.

chanoch's Commentary

This pasuk is clear as written. The question that arises is why at 50 does the fire get cooler. This is true of all people not just the levite. As a person ages their passion starts to cool as they age and this is after the age of 50.

וְעוֹד, דְּקָלָא דְּזִמְרָא לָא אִתְקְשַׁר בַּהֲדֵיהּ כָּל כַּךְ. וְקָלָא בָּעֵי דְּלָא יִתְפְּגָם, אֶלָּא בָּעֵי לְאִתָּקְפָא, דְּהָא בַּאֲתָר דְּדִינָא תַּקִּיף קַיְּימָא, וְלָא בְּחַלְשָׁא. ובג"כ בָּעֵי דְּלָא יַפְגִּים הַהוּא אֲתָר דְּאִתְקְשַׁר בֵּיהּ, דְּאִיהוּ דִּינָא תַּקִּיפָא, וְלָא חַלְשָׁא, וְעַל דָּא לָא בָּעֵי לְאַחֲזָאָה חוּלְשָׁתָא כְּלָל בְּכָל סִטְרִין. זַכָּאָה הוּא ב"נ דְּאִשְׁתָּדַּל בְּאוֹרַיְיתָא, וְיִנְדַּע אוֹרְחוֹי דְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא, וְלָא סָטֵי לִימִינָא וְלִשְׂמָאלָא, דִּכְתִיב כִּי יְשָׁרִים דַּרְכֵי יְיָ'.

Translation

In addition, AFTER FIFTY YEARS, the singing voice is no longer that well connected with him, SINCE IT BECOMES A LITTLE WEAKER. It is necessary that this voice should not be flawed, but rather get stronger, since it stands in a place of strong Judgment and not in a weak one. Therefore, it is important not to degrade that place, THAT IS THE LEFT, to which he is assigned, since it is powerful Judgment and not feeble. It is necessary not to show any feebleness in any direction. Praised is the man that toils in the Torah, knows the ways of the Holy One, blessed be He, and does not deviate to the right or the left. It is written: "for the ways of Hashem are right" (Hoshea 14:10), meaning one who follows steadily in the Central Column.
