SYNOPSIS:

Moses possessed masterful control over the supernal worlds, far greater than the patriarch Jacob had achieved. For this reason, Moses became the leader of the generation of the desert, and it is said that there will never be a generation as great as the generation of Moses. The Kabbalists teach that in the End of Days - which is the current era - the generation of Moses will return, to finish the work of revealing the totality of Light that emanates from The Creator. In fact, we are that generation. Though the memories of the scorching heat of the desert and the radiant Light of Sinai may be lost to our conscious minds, it is vital for all of us to recognize who we really are. Therein lies the power and truth of the Zohar's words. Each letter fills us with strength to accept our responsibility, and to fulfill it through spiritual work and self-transformation.

Translation

In the same manner that THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT ABOVE - WHICH ARE Moses and Aaron - are connected TO THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT BELOW (NAMELY Samuel)so is THE CENTRAL COLUMN ABOVE (TIFERET )AND THE ASPECT OF Jacob and Moses connected to THE CENTRAL COLUMN BELOW, WHICH IS YESOD AND THE ASPECT OF Joseph. Jacob was the owner of the house. When Jacob passed away, Moses gained control over the house during his lifetime. Joseph was righteous because of Jacob and Moses.

chanoch's Commentary

This pasuk is clear as written, with Rabbi Ashlag's comments. Here "above" is Chesed and Gevurah. While below is Samuel being Netzach and Hod. The House is the Children of Israel. Josef became righteous due to Chesed and Gevurah.

    Translation

    THE PROOF THAT Jacob took over the house, WHICH IS THE FEMALE PRINCIPLE OF ZEIR ANPIN, through Joseph, is in the verse: "These are the generations of Jacob Joseph" (Beresheet 37:2). THIS SHOWS THAT THEY WERE ATTACHED TO EACH OTHER. Moses did not mate with her, WITH THE FEMALE, until he attained THE CONNECTION WITH Joseph. When the Shechinah returned from the exile IN EGYPT, MOSES - WHO IS THE INTERNAL ASPECT OF ZEIR ANPIN - was able to unite with THE SHECHINAH only through Joseph, as it is written: "And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him" (Shemot 13:19). Why is it written: "with him?" Because THE ASPECT OF the body is not FIT for mating with the female unless it FIRST unites with the covenant, WHICH IS YESOD. This is why Moses took Joseph with him. Because, since JOSEPH was CONNECTED with him, ZEIR ANPIN could mate with this Female principle in the proper manner. Thus, IT IS CONSIDERED THAT Jacob, Moses and Joseph go together as one, AS BOTH JACOB AND MOSES HAVE TO JOIN JOSEPH.

    chanoch's Commentary

    This pasuk is clear as written, with Rabbi Ashlag's comments. Everything must flow through yesod.

    Translation

    When Jacob died, his body was buried in the Holy Land but when Joseph died, only his bones were buried in the Holy Land. For Moses, no part of his body was buried in the Holy Land. SO HE ASKED: Why DID THESE DIFFERENCES EXIST? Because Jacob was the first husband of the Queen, but after Jacob died, THE FEMALE PRINCIPLE mated with THE INTERNAL ASPECT OF ZEIR ANPIN, WHICH IS CALLED Moses. As long as Moses was ENCLOTHED IN A BODY in this world, he visited her, as was proper. BECAUSE HE HAD AN AFFINITY OF FORM WITH HER, he became the second husband OF THE FEMALE.

    chanoch's Commentary

    This pasuk is clear as written, with Rabbi Ashlag's comments. Jacob is first husband and Moses is second husband. What is the meaning of husband as it applies to Sefirot and levels of consciousness? Who is the wife?

    Translation

    ACCORDING TO THIS, they carried Jacob to the Holy Land in his entire body, because he is the body. But for Joseph, only his bones WERE TAKEN TO THE HOLY LAND and not his body. Why? Because the bones are the hosts and legions of above and they all emerge from that Righteousness. In normal English, the word "Righteous" is either an adjective or a plural noun. There are many places in the rest of the text where it is used as a singular noun, which is not correct English. I've done my best to try and correct this, but I'm not sure I've always kept the true Kabbalistic meaning of the phrase. For example, when the Righteous refers to Yesod - that's singular. JOSEPH the Righteous was called by the name Tzva'ot (Eng. 'hosts'). Why? Because all the hosts and legions above emerge from him. Because of this, the bones OF JOSEPH, which are the ASPECT OF THE hosts, were taken to the Holy Land.

    chanoch's Commentary

    This pasuk is clear as written, with Rabbi Ashlag's comments. Does each bone connectn to a different host of Angels? What isn the meaning ofn host when it comes to levels above Angels?

    Translation

    Moses remained outside THE HOLY LAND. Neither his body nor his bones entered THE HOLY LAND. Instead, the Shechinah entered the Holy Land after Moses had died and returned to her first husband, who was Jacob. From this, WE LEARN THAT IF a woman is married to two men IN THIS WORLD, she shall return, after her demise, to her first husband in the World to Come. THUS, because Jacob, her first husband, was in the Holy Land AND THE WOMAN BELONGS ONLY TO HER FIRST HUSBAND, Moses was BURIED outside THE HOLY LAND.

    chanoch's Commentary

    Translation

    Moses merited during his lifetime what Jacob did not merit DURING HIS LIFETIME, BECAUSE Jacob mated - THAT IS, BROUGHT ON THE MATING OF ZEIR ANPIN AND HIS FEMALE PRINCIPLE - in the other SUPERNAL world ONLY AFTER HIS DEATH. ON THE OTHER HAND, Moses CAUSED THIS MATING TO OCCUR WHILE HE WAS STILL ALIVE in this world, BUT NOT AFTER HIS DEATH. You might say that NOT BRINGING ON THE MATING AFTER HIS DEATH was a disadvantage for Moses, but that is not so. Why? Because when The Children of Yisrael left Egypt, their redemption came from the aspect of Jubilee, WHICH IS BINAH. All the 600,000 people OF THE GENERATION OF THE WILDERNESS came from the supernal world, BINAH. In that image OF BINAH, they traveled through the wilderness and none of them entered the Holy Land. Only the children born TO THE GENERATION OF THE WILDERNESS ENTERED THE HOLY LAND, as it should be, because they BELONGED TO the completion of the moon, WHICH IS THE FEMALE PRINCIPLE. THEY ENTERED THE LAND AND ATE OF ITS FRUIT. Hence, all the laborers of the land, ALL WHO FARMED AND CULTIVATED THE LAND, AFFECT the building of the moon.

    Translation

    Moses mated with the moon. THAT IS, MOSES BROUGHT ON THE MATING OF ZEIR ANPIN WITH THE MOON while he was still enclothed in a body IN THIS WORLD. He had full control over her, AS HE WAS CONSIDERED THE HUSBAND OF THE QUEEN. When he passed from this world, his sacred spirit ascended high and the spirit returned to the supernal Jubilee, NAMELY BINAH. There, IN THE WORLD OF BINAH, MOSES cleaved to 600,000 SOULS OF THE GENERATION OF THE WILDERNESS, which belonged to him - THAT IS, TO HIS OWN ASPECT. This is something that did not happen to Jacob, BECAUSE HE DID NOT ASCEND TO BINAH AFTER HIS DEATH, AS MOSES DID AFTER HIS. INSTEAD, his spirit returned to the Sabbatical year; NAMELY, THE FEMALE PRINCIPLE OF ZEIR ANPIN AS BINAH IS CALLED JUBILEE AND THE FEMALE PRINCIPLE IS THE SABBATICAL YEAR. This did not happen as long as he was alive, because in his lifetime he had a different house, MEANING A DIFFERENT FEMALE PRINCIPLE. IN OTHER WORDS, BECAUSE HE HAD A WIFE DURING HIS LIFETIME IN THIS WORLD, HE COULD NOT CLEAVE ENTIRELY TO THE FEMALE PRINCIPLE OF ZEIR ANPIN, AS HE COULD AFTER HIS DEATH.

    Translation

    The lowest grade in the Holy Land is completed by the power of the upper FEMALE PRINCIPLE. THE UPPER FEMALE RESTS ON THE HOLY LAND - THE LOWER FEMALE -- DUE TO THE WORK OF THE RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE BELOW. Because of this, it is impossible for them all to be together. THUS, THE ASPECT OF MOSES AND THE GENERATION OF THE WILDERNESS CANNOT BE TOGETHER WITH THE ASPECT OF JACOB AND THE DWELLERS OF THE HOLY LAND. WHY? Because those WHO EXTEND from the supernal world, WHICH IS BINAH, all comprise the aspect of the spirit alone. And those WHO EXTEND from the lower world, WHICH IS THE FEMALE PRINCIPLE OF ZEIR ANPIN, are the aspect of the body ALONE. It is not proper for all of these to be combined within the moon, WHICH IS THE FEMALE PRINCIPLE. So the former should be inside the moon and the latter outside OF IT, SO THAT each receives illumination from the other. THIS MEANS THAT THOSE WHO COME FROM THE FEMALE PRINCIPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO RECEIVE THEIR ILLUMINATION FROM THOSE WHO EXTEND FROM BINAH, LIKE A BODY THAT REQUIRES THE ILLUMINATION OF THE SPIRIT. ACCORDINGLY, THOSE WHO EXTEND FROM THE FEMALE PRINCIPLE - REFERRING TO JACOB AND THE DWELLERS OF THE HOLY LAND - ARE WITHIN THE FEMALE PRINCIPLE, WHICH IS THE HOLY LAND, WHEREAS THOSE WHO EXTEND FROM BINAH - REFERRING TO MOSES AND THE GENERATION OF THE WILDERNESS - ARE OUTSIDE THE HOLY LAND. SO THE LATTER SHINE ON THE SOULS WITHIN THE HOLY LAND.

    Jacob mated with his wives in his lifetime with his body. After HIS DEATH, his spirit ASCENDED AND cleaved to the spirit OF THE FEMALE PRINCIPLE. However, Moses separated himself from his wife TZIPORAH WHILE STILL IN THIS WORLD and cleaved to the Holy Spirit, NAMELY THE FEMALE PRINCIPLE OF ZEIR ANPIN, while he was still enclothed in his body. After HIS DEATH, his spirit cleaved to the concealed and supernal spirit, NAMELY BINAH, and all the grades were united and shone as one. THAT IS, THOSE FROM BINAH THAT ARE CONSIDERED OF THE SPIRIT AND THOSE FROM THE FEMALE PRINCIPLE CONSIDERED OF THE BODY. The spirit of Moses came from the Jubilee, BINAH, and his body came from the Sabbatical year, THE FEMALE PRINCIPLE. The spirit of Jacob cleaved to the Sabbatical year, THE FEMALE PRINCIPLE OF ZEIR ANPIN, while his body belonged to his wives in this world. THEREFORE, DURING HIS LIFETIME, HE COULD NOT CLEAVE TO THE FEMALE PRINCIPLE OF ZEIR ANPIN; HE COULD ONLY DO SO AFTER HIS DEATH. MOSES WAS THE OPPOSITE, BECAUSE HIS BODY HAD THE AFFINITY OF FORM WITH THE FEMALE PRINCIPLE OF ZEIR ANPIN AND HE CLEAVED TO HER DURING HIS LIFETIME, BUT NOT AFTER HIS DEATH. WHY? BECAUSE HIS SPIRIT CLEAVED TO BINAH AND HAD NO AFFINITY OF FORM WITH THE FEMALE PRINCIPLE OF ZEIR ANPIN.
