SYNOPSIS:

Moses compares a virtuous wife to the Shechinah, saying that whoever does kindness by Her will receive invaluable recompense but that whoever is sinful to Her will receive punishment beyond measure. He tells us that anyone who inherits a Neshamah or Ruach or Nefesh from the Shechinah does not require redeeming. The Shechinah's redemption is dependent on God, and that redemption is drawn by the Tefilin, the keeping of the Shabbat, the marking of the festival days, the mark of circumcision, the Torah and with several precepts.

Pasook 44. from the Zohar Sulam Commentary on Parasha Korach

פִּקּוּדָא בָּתַר דָּא, לָדוּן בְּעֶרְכֵּי בַּיִת. וּבְרָזָא דְּחָכְמְתָא, בַּיִת דב"נ, דָּא אִתְּתָא. אִי אִיהִי אִתְּתָא דְּטוֹב וָרָע, וּבָעֵי לְהָמִיר רָעָה בְּטוֹבָה, יִפְדֶּה לָהּ מֵהַהוּא רָע, וְיָהִיב לֵיהּ עֵרֶךְ דִּילָהּ. אֲבָל אִתְּתָא דְּאִילָנָא דְּחַיֵּיא, אִתְּמַר בָּהּ לֹא יַעַרְכֶנָּה זָהָב וּזְכוּכִית וּתְמוּרָתָהּ כְּלֵי פָּז, וְאֵין לָהּ עֵרֶךְ. כְּמָה דְּאִתְּמַר, אֵשֶׁת חַיִל עֲטֶרֶת בַּעְלָהּ. וְאִתְּמַר אֵשֶׁת חַיִל מִי יִמְצָא וְגוֹ'. וְדָא שְׁכִינְתָּא. מַאן דְּגָמִיל חֶסֶד עִמָּהּ, לֵית עֵרֶךְ לְאַגְרָא דִּילֵיהּ. וּמַאן דְּחָאב לְגַבָּהּ, לֵית עֵרֶךְ לְעֹנְשָׁא דִּילֵיהּ.

Translation

The precept following this is the dealing in household arrangements. In the secret of wisdom, a man's house is his wife. If she is a woman of good and evil and he wishes to exchange a bad WOMAN for a good one, he should redeem her from that evil one and give her her worth. However, it says about a woman of the Tree of Life, THAT IS MALCHUT: "gold and glass cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for vessels of fine gold" (Iyov 28:17). She is invaluable, as it says, "a virtuous woman is a crown to her husband" (Mishlei 12:4), and it also says, "who can find a woman of worth..." (Mishlei 31:10). That is the Shechinah. Whoever does kindness by Her shall receive invaluable recompense, and whoever is sinful to Her shall receive punishment beyond measure.
