Zohar Vayikra - Section 1 - And Moshe Called to Moshe

1. "AND HASHEM CALLED TO MOSES"

Zohar Section 1 on Parasha VAYIKRA

SYNOPSIS:

Rabbi Elazar begins by telling us that through the higher letters drawn from Binah and the lower letters drawn from Malchut, the earlier generations gained wisdom in how to manage the activities of the world. They knew how to permutate the letters given to Moses at Mount Sinai. We are told about the two clouds of Moses, one over the Tabernacle and one over the mountain. Rabbi Elazar speaks at length about the movement, role and impact of the various letters and the ministers and angels associated with them. He says that when God called to Moses, the summons to enter the Tabernacle issued forth from the permutations of the letters.

רִבִּי אֶלְעָזָר פָּתַח, שְׁאַל לְךָ אוֹת מֵעִם יְיָ' אֱלֹהֶיךָ הַעֲמֵק שְׁאָלָה אוֹ הַגְבֵּהַּ לְמָעְלָה. אִסְתַּכַּלְנָא בְּדָרִין קַדְמָאִין וְדָרִין בַּתְרָאִין, מַה בֵּין דָּרִין קַדְמָאִין לְדָרִין בַּתְרָאִין. דָּרִין קַדְמָאִין הֲווֹ יַדְעִין וּמִסְתַּכְּלִין בְּחָכְמְתָא עִלָּאָה, וְיַדְעִין לְצָרְפָא אַתְוָון דְּאִתְיְהִיבוּ לֵיהּ לְמֹשֶׁה בְּסִינַי, וַאֲפִילּוּ חַיָּיבִין דִּבְהוֹן בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל, הֲווֹ יַדְעִין גּוֹ אַתְוָון חָכְמְתָא עִלָּאָה. וְיַדְעִין גּוֹ אַתְוָון עִלָּאִין, וְגוֹ אַתְוָון תַּתָּאִין, חָכְמְתָא לְאַנְהָגָא עוֹבָדִין בְּהַאי עָלְמָא.

Rabbi Elazar opened the discussion with the verse: "Ask a sign (or: 'letter') of Hashem your Elohim; ask it either in the depths, or in the height above" (Yeshayah 7:11). I looked at the earlier generations and the later generations. What is the difference between the earlier generations and the later generations? The earlier generations knew and perceived the supernal wisdom and knew to permutate the letters, which were given to Moses at Sinai. Even the wicked people among Yisrael, SUCH AS ACHAZ, were familiar with letters of supernal wisdom, FOR THE PROPHET SAID TO HIM, "ASK A SIGN (HEB. OT)." IF ACHAZ WAS UNVERSED IN SUPERNAL WISDOM, THE PROPHET WOULD NOT HAVE SPOKEN TO HIM THUS. And through higher letters DRAWN FROM BINAH, and lower letters DRAWN FROM MALCHUT, they gained wisdom that helped them manage their lives.

chanoch's Commentary

There are three size letters in the Torah Scroll. The majority of the letters are called regular size and they originate in Zeir Anpin. There are small letters and they originate in Malchut while the larger letters originate in Binah. Elsewhere the Zohar explains that there are three different alef bets. This needs to be contemplated. It is truly an amazing revelation of wisdom.

בְּגִין דְּכָל אָת וְאָת דְּאִתְּמְסַר לֵיהּ לְמֹשֶׁה, הֲווֹ מִתְעַטְּרִין וְסַלְּקִין עַל רֵישַׁיְיהוּ דְּחֵיוָון עִלָּאִין קַדִּישִׁין. וְכֻלְּהוּ חֵיוָון הֲווֹ מִתְעַטְּרֵי בְּהוּ, וּפַרְחִין גּוֹ אֲוֵירָא, דְּנַחְתָּא מִגּוֹ אֲוֵירָא עִלָּאָה, דָּקִיק דְּלָא יְדִיעַ.

This is because each and every letter (Heb. ot) that was transmitted to Moses was crowned and rose over the heads of the holy supernal living creatures, THE SECRET OF THE SUPERNAL CHARIOT, WHICH ARE CHESED, GVURAH, TIFERET AND MALCHUT. All the living creatures were crowned WITH THE LETTERS, EVEN THE LIVING CREATURES OF THE LOWER CHARIOT, WHICH IS IN MALCHUT. They flew in the air OF YISRAEL-SABA AND TEVUNAH, which descends from the supernal air that is fine and unknown, WHICH IS IN SUPERNAL ABA AND IMA.

chanoch's Commentary

A Hebrew letter is more than a mark on a page. It is more than a "sign" in the sky as is expressed in this Zohar Pasook. A Hebrew Letter is a power source. It is a power station. It is tool that creates. It channels the energy and consciousness of the one making the word statement into physical creation. This also apples to spiritual creation. Understand this well.

Pasook 3. from the Zohar on Parasha Vayikra

וְסַלְּקִין וְנַחְתִּין אַתְוָון רַבְרְבִין וְאַתְוָון דְּקִיקִין. אַתְוָון רַבְרְבִין נַחְתִּין מִגּוֹ הֵיכָלָא עִלָּאָה טְמִירָא דְּכֹלָּא, וְאַתְוָון דְּקִיקִין הֲווֹ נַחְתִּין מִגּוֹ הֵיכָלָא אָחֳרָא תַּתָּאָה, וְאִלֵּין וְאִלֵּין אִתְמְסָרוּ לֵיהּ לְמֹשֶׁה בְּסִינַי.

Both great letters and small letters would go up and down, great letters going down from the supernal chamber which is concealed from all, BINAH, and the small letters going down from another lower chamber, MALCHUT. All of these were transmitted to Moses at Sinai.

Pasook 4. from the Zohar on Parasha Vayikra

וְחִבּוּרָא דְּאַתְוָון דְּאִינּוּן מִתְחַבְּרָאן בִּטְמִירוּ בְּכָל אָת וְאָת, כְּגוֹן א, אָת יְחִידָא, מִתְחַבְּרָאן עִמָּהּ בִּטְמִירוּ תְּרֵין אָחֳרָנִין לף. וְכֵן כֻּלְּהוּ אִתְמְסָרוּ לֵיהּ לְמֹשֶׁה בְּסִינַי, וְכֻלְּהוּ טְמִירִין גּוֹ חַבְרַיָּיא זַכָּאִין אִינּוּן.

The joining of the letters, which secretly join in every letter, such as Aleph, which is a single letter secretly joined by two other letters, namely, Lamed Pe, IN PRONOUNCING THE LETTER. SO TOO, IN ARTICULATING THE NAME OF THE LETTER BET, IT IS JOINED BY YUD AND TAV. They were all transmitted to Moses at Sinai as well, and all are known in secret by the friends. They are fortunate.

chanoch's Commentary

Every letter has a revealed aspect and a concealed aspect. The revealed aspect is the letter in the Torah Scroll. Each of these letters has a concealed aspect which is the energy of the pronouncing of a letter. This concealed aspect is part of the letter and part of the word and part of the verse. The Kabbalists know this and utilize this as part of their wisdom. Learn this and use it in your own life.

Pasook 5. from the Zohar on Parasha Vayikra

שְׁאַל לְךָ אוֹת, אוֹת מַמָּשׁ. דְּכֻלְּהוּ הֲווֹ נַטְלִין בְּרָזָא דְּאַתְוָון. וְכֵן בְּרָחָב מַה כְּתִיב, וּנְתַתֶּם לִי אוֹת אֱמֶת, דָּא אָת ו', דְּדָא אִקְרֵי אוֹת אֱמֶת. וְאִי תֵּימָא שְׁאָר אַתְוָון לָאו אִינּוּן אֱמֶת. אִין אֶלָּא אוֹת דָּא אוֹת אֱמֶת אִקְרֵי.

"Ask a sign (Heb. ot)" MEANS literally a letter (Heb. ot). Everyone was conversant in the secrets of the letters. With Rachav, what is written? "and give me a true token (Heb. ot)" (Yehoshua 2:12). This refers to the letter Vav, which is called a true letter. If you infer from this that the other letters are not true, that is not so. Nonetheless, this letter Vav is called the true letter UNLIKE THE OTHER LETTERS WHICH ARE NOT SO CALLED, FOR VAV INDICATES ZEIR ANPIN, CALLED TRUTH, AS IN THE VERSE: "YOU SHALL SHOW TRUTH TO JACOB" (MICHAH 7:20).

chanoch's Commentary

Do you know who Rachav is? She is the women/Madam who helped the two spies when they went into the Land under the orders of Joshua when the people were ready to go into the land. In that Torah story she asked for and OT which can be a letter or a Sign. The True letter vav is spelled Vav Alef Vav which has a gematria of 13 indicating unity and oneness. She was requesting to be made part of the Jewish People. She was asking to convert in a concealed way. Do you see how powerful the Kabbalah is if you learn the aspects that are concealed. It enhances your wisdom. The result for Rachav is she did convert and married Joshua according to the midrash.

Pasook 6. from Zohar Commentary on Parasha Vayikra

הַעֲמֵק שְׁאָלָה, דָּא אוֹת ה' בַּתְרָאָה דְּבִשְׁמָא קַדִּישָׁא. אוֹ הַגְבֵּהַּ לְמָעְלָה, דָּא אָת יוֹ"ד רֵישָׁא דְּבִשְׁמָא קַדִּישָׁא. וְדָא אִיהוּ רָזָא דִּכְתִּיב, שְׁאַל לְךָ אוֹת מֵעִם יְיָ' אֱלֹהֶיךָ, אוֹת מִשְּׁמָא קַדִּישָׁא, מַשְׁמַע דִּכְתִּיב מֵעִם יְיָ', דְּדָא אִיהוּ שְׁמָא דְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא, אָת חַד דְּבֵיהּ, וּמַשְׁכְּנָא קָאֵים עַל דָּא.

"ask it either in the depths" refers to the last Hei of the Holy Name YUD HEI VAV HEI, while "or in the height above" refers to the letter Yud, the head of the Holy Name YUD HEI VAV HEI. This is the hidden meaning of the verse: "Ask a sign (lit. 'letter') of Hashem your Elohim" WHICH MEANS a letter from the Holy Name. It is implied by the verse: "A SIGN of Hashem," which is a name of the Holy One, blessed be He, one letter of it. The tabernacle, WHICH IS MALCHUT, WHICH IS CALLED YOUR ELOHIM, is based on this LETTER BECAUSE MALCHUT RECEIVES FROM ZEIR ANPIN, WHICH IS YUD HEI VAV HEI. THEREFORE, THE VERSE STATES "HASHEM YOUR ELOHIM."

תָּא חֲזֵי, כַּד סָלִיק עֲנָנָא עַל מַשְׁכְּנָא וְשָׁרָא עֲלוֹי, כָּל אִינּוּן רְתִיכִין, וְכָל אִינּוּן מָאנֵי מַשְׁכְּנָא דִּלְעֵיל, כֻּלְּהוּ הֲווֹ גּוֹ עֲנָנָא. מַה כְּתִיב, וְלֹא יָכוֹל מֹשֶׁה לָבֹא אֶל אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד כִּי שָׁכַן עָלָיו הֶעָנָן. וּכְתִיב, וַיָּבֹא מֹשֶׁה בְּתוֹךְ הֶעָנָן, וַיְהִי מֹשֶׁה בָּהָר אַרְבָּעִים יוֹם וְאַרְבָּעִים לָיְלָה אִי מֹשֶׁה לָא הֲוָה יָכִיל לְאַעֲלָא לְמַשְׁכְּנָא, אֲמַאי הֲוָה יָתִיב בְּטוּרָא כָּל אִינּוּן אַרְבְּעִין יוֹמִין.

Come and behold: When the cloud rose over the tabernacle and rested on it, all of those Chariots and all of those vessels of the supernal tabernacle, MALCHUT, were within the cloud. THEREFORE, it is written, "And Moses was not able to enter the Tent of Meeting, for the cloud rested on it" (Shemot 40:35). HE QUESTIONS: It is written, "And Moses went up into the midst of the clouds and Moses was in the mountain forty days and forty nights" (Shemot 24:18). If Moses could not enter the tabernacle BECAUSE OF THE CLOUD WHICH RESTED ON IT, how could he ENTER THE CLOUD AND remain on the mountain for forty days?

chanoch adds: A great question asked by the Zohar. Another question - If all of Malchut was in the cloud is it referring to potential energies or physical things?

Pasook 8. from the Zohar Commentary on Parasha Vaikra

אֶלָּא תְּרֵי עֲנָנֵי הֲווֹ, חַד דְּעָאל בֵּיהּ מֹשֶׁה. וְחַד דְּשָׁארִי עַל מַשְׁכְּנָא. תָּא חֲזֵי, מַה כְּתִיב וּכְבוֹד יְיָ' מָלֵא אֶת הַמִּשְׁכָּן, מִלָּא לָא כְּתִיב, אֶלָּא מָלֵא, דַּהֲוָה שְׁלִים לְעֵילָּא וְתַתָּא, עִם מַשְׁכְּנָא דִּלְתַתָּא. תִּקּוּנָא טְמִירָא דְּנָחַת לְתַתָּא וְאִתְתַּקְּנַת שְׁכִינְתָּא.

HE ANSWERS, There were two clouds, one CLOUD which Moses entered AND IN WHICH HE REMAINED ON THE MOUNTAIN FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS “ THIS CLOUD IS OF MALCHUT “ and one CLOUD which rested on the tabernacle. THIS CLOUD IS DRAWN FROM THE LEFT COLUMN OF BINAH AND MOSES WAS UNABLE TO ENTER IT. Come and behold what is written, "And the glory of Hashem filled the tabernacle" (Shemot 40:34). Literally it is not written, "filled," but "was full," WHICH IMPLIES THAT a fullness was achieved on high IN BINAH and below IN MALCHUT with THE ENCLOTHING OF THE CLOUD IN the tabernacle below. A concealed means of perfection WHICH IS CALLED "CLOUD" descended FROM THE LEFT COLUMN OF BINAH down TO THE SHECHINAH, WHICH IS CALLED TABERNACLE AND TENT OF MEETING, and the Shechinah was perfected.

chanoch's Commentary

You will notice that there is a significant commentary by Rabbi Ashlag (capital letters). With that commentary we learn that the clouds represent the Light which is fulfillment of the desires within Malchut and also Binah. If something is fulfilled there is no "new" desire". This is not the plan of Creation since desires are meant to grow so that more of the Light of HaShem can be revealed. Perfection is not meant to be concealed in the plan of Creation. The Kabbalists indicate that there are some things that are to remain concealed sometimes. This seems to me to be a paradox.

9. from the Zohar Commentary on Parasha Vayikra

אַרְבַּע סִטְרִין דְּמַשִׁרְיָין אִתְגְּנִיזוּ. תִּקּוּנָא קַדְמָאָה דְּחַד מִשְׁמָרָה, מֵאִינּוּן ד' מַשִׁרְיָין, כֹּלָּא עַד דְּאִתְתַּקָּנוּ. רֵישָׁא לִסְטַר יְמִינָא צַדְקִיאֵ"ל, רַב מְמָנָא, רַב מַשִׁירְיָין, דְּאִיהוּ תְּחוֹת שׁוּלְטָנָא דְּמִיכָאֵ"ל, וְעִמֵּיהּ הֲווֹ מִתְתַּקְּנָן כָּל אִינּוּן מַשִׁרְיָין תְּחוֹת יְדֵיהּ.

Four aspects of camps OF THE ANGELS, WHICH ARE IN MALCHUT, CALLED LOWER CHARIOT were concealed BY THE CLOUD, WHICH DESCENDED ON THE TABERNACLE, WHICH IS MALCHUT. The first mending OF THIS CLOUD WAS in the first watch of the four camps OF THE SHECHINAH before everything was mended. The head of the right side is Tzadkiel, chief minister, superior of the camps under the dominion of Michael, and with him all the camps under him were mended.

chanoch adds: Tzadkiel implies "Tzadik of God". Names of Angels always have a Name of God attached to them. Knowing which Name tells us the Sefirot involved and helps us to understand the meaning of the Zohar. What was the cloud concealing and from what was it being concealed?

Pasook 10. from the Zohar Commentary on Parasha Vayikra

וְחַד מְמָנָא אִתְּקַם עַל אַרְבַּע תְּלַת, אַרְבַּע לְתַתָּא, בְּגִין דְּכָל אִינּוּן מַשִׁרְיָין עִלָּאִין, כַּד נַחְתִּין לְתַתָּא, מְשַׁנְיָין שְׁמָא דִּלְהוֹן, בִּשְׁמָהָן אָחֳרָנִין, כַּד אִינּוּן עִלָּאִין לָא מִשְׁתַּנִּין לְעָלְמִין. וְהַאי מְמָנָא עִלָּאָה צַדְקִיאֵ"ל קָאֵים עָלַיְיהוּ לְגוֹ. אָת חַד נָצִיץ עַל רֵישַׁיְיהוּ, וְאִיהִי א' זְעֵירָא, כַּד הַאי אָת נָצִיץ, כֻּלְּהוּ נַטְלִין לְהַהוּא אֲתַר דְּנָצִיץ הַאי נְצִיצוּ.

One minister was placed in command over four TIMES three, WHICH ARE the four ASPECTS below, EACH COMPRISED OF THREE. When all of these supernal camps descend below, their names are changed into other names. When they remain on high, THEIR NAMES remain unchanged. That minister Tzadkiel stands over them from within and one letter glitters on their heads, a small Aleph. When this letter glitters, they all travel to the place where the sparkle glitters.

chanoch's Commentary

This verse appears extremely esoteric. 4 times 3 is the 12 Tribes. Who is the one minister placed over the Tribes of Israel. The King which is Moshe, then Joshua, then each judge in his time, then Samuel the Prophet, then King David, King Solomon, Then the Tzadikim. Actually which ever Tzadik is the highest soul of the generation. When the small Alef glitters the person is being called to ascend to a session of the high court in the 7th Heaven discussed in a series of classes based on the book chanoch 3. This class has not been delivered as of March 2014.

Inside them, THAT IS, WITHIN THE ASPECT OF MALCHUT, NAMELY TIFERET, is Raziel, high minister and superior of the camps, who stands within under the dominion of Michael, WHO IS CHESED. With him are all of the camps under him. A minister named Rumiel is in charge over them at the portal, surrounded by twelve ministers, three times four, FOR HE HIMSELF BEING TIFERET OF THE SIDE OF TIFERET COMPRISES TWELVE. FOR THIS SIDE OF TIFERET HAS THREE ANGELS, MICHAEL WHO IS CHESED OF TIFERET, RAZIEL WHO IS GVURAH OF TIFERET, AND RUMIEL WHO IS TIFERET OF TIFERET. TIFERET OF TIFERET ALONE ALSO CONSISTS OF TWELVE, JUST AS THE FOUR SIDES OF MICHAEL DO. Raziel, high minister, is in charge over them all, for his name is not changed. One letter glitters on the heads of all these camps, the letter Resh. When it glitters, they all travel in the direction of that gleam. This letter is prepared to punish those who reveal the secrets, as indicated by "poverty (Heb. reish) and shame" (Mishlei 13:18) AS THE NAME 'REISH' INDICATES JUDGMENTS.

chanoch adds: These are the Names of the Angels on High spoken about in Pasook 10.

Pasook 12. from the Zohar Commentary on Parasha Vayikra

Inside them, THAT IS, WITHIN THE ASPECT OF TIFERET, NAMELY GVURAH, is Yofiel, high minister and superior over the camps under the dominion of Michael; with him were fitted out all of the camps under him. Not all the camps here are revealed in terms of numbers. THIS IS THE ILLUMINATION OF CHOCHMAH WHICH PREVAILS IN THE LEFT COLUMN WHICH IS GVURAH AS EXPLAINED EARLIER. This is because they are not complete here until they come to the Eternal House, THE SECRET OF THE TEMPLE BUILT BY KING SOLOMON, where they all achieve completeness and the camps grow in perfection. That which is stated here IN REFERENCE TO THE TABERNACLE BEFORE THEY ACHIEVE COMPLETENESS is that all of these camps under YOFIEL were given over at that time to enter with him. One minister is in charge over them, named Chachamiel and twelve ministers surround him, three on each side as stated earlier. THUS, THE SIDE OF GVURAH ALSO HAS THREE ANGELS “ MICHAEL, YOFIEL AND CHACHAMIEL “ BEING CHESED, GVURAH AND TIFERET OF THE ASPECT OF GVURAH. AND CHACHAMIEL, WHO IS TIFERET OF GVURAH CCCIN HIMSELF CONSISTS OF TWELVE, AS DOES THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY, FOR TIFERET ALWAYS INCLUDES EVERYTHING. And Yofiel, high minister, is in charge over all of them, for his name does not change.

Pasook 13. from Zohar Commentary on Parasha Vayikra

One letter glitters over the heads of all these camps, the letter Kof FOR THIS LETTER GLITTERS ON THE ASPECTS OF GVURAH. When it glitters, they all travel in the direction of that glittering. This letter Kof is suspended in the air and the Judgments in it are subdued three times a day. THIS IS THROUGH THE RADIANCE OF THE THREE SUPERNAL COLUMNS OF ZEIR ANPIN, WHICH IS CALLED DAY. HOWEVER, BEFORE IT IS MITIGATED BY THE THREE COLUMNS, it goes up and down, MEANING THAT THE CHOCHMAH IN IT IS DRAWN TO DESCEND DOWNWARD AND THEN THE KOF IS IN JUDGMENTS. THEN, one of these two letters “ Kof and Resh, which are the letters in the middle OF THE WORD VAYIKRA (VAV YUD KOF RESH ALEPH) “ covers the letter Aleph OF VAYIKRA and one covers the letter Yud OF VAYIKRA, which follows THE LETTER KOF WHEN STARTING FROM MALCHUT, WHICH IS ALEPH.

chanoch's Commentary

In case you did not notice the Zohar is permutating the word Vayikra. The three letters that glitter are Alef, Raish, Koof. In reverse order they spell the shoresh word Kriah - Koof Raish Alef. Kriah is translated as "read". This is an amazing revelation. When one calls with Mercy Vayikra one is telling the person i am reading you. Or conversely telling the person to bring his reading with him. Do not understand this commentary on its simple level. Look to the deeper meaning of read and reading. i read a book; i read the tracks; i read the essence; and much more.

Inside them, THAT IS, WITHIN THE ASPECT OF GVURAH, NAMELY CHESED, is K'dumiel, high minister and superior over the camps under the dominion of Michael; and with him were fitted out all of the camps under him. One minister named Ariel is in charge over them at the portal and twelve ministers surround him, three on each side OF THE FOUR SIDES. THUS, THE ASPECT OF CHESED HAS THREE ANGELS: MICHAEL, BEING CHESED OF CHESED; K'DUMIEL, BEING GVURAH OF CHESED AND ARIEL, BEING TIFERET OF CHESED. ARIEL IN HIMSELF CONSISTS OF TWELVE, AS DOES THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY. This high minister K'dumiel is in charge over them, for his name never changes. There is a letter over their heads, the letter Yud. When it glitters, they all travel in the direction of that sparkling glittering. The letter Kof, as stated, covers this letter Yud and the Resh covers the Aleph OF VAYIKRA.

chanoch's Commentary

Now we have the letters Vav Koof Raish since Alef and Yood are being concealed. The word רוק voweled as a noun means bachelor or single. Voweled as an adjective it means celibate or unmarried. It is also significant that the two concealed letters Yood and Alef spell the word Island. Also please note that the Angel Names start with the letters being specified.

In the innermost, in the place called Kodesh (lit. 'Holiness'), BINAH, a letter glitters hidden and in secrecy. This is the letter Vav, WHICH IS THE CENTRAL COLUMN, WHOSE SOURCE OF ORIGIN IS THAT IT ARISES AND RECONCILES BETWEEN THE TWO COLUMNS, RIGHT AND LEFT OF BINAH. This letter glitters with a radiance over all the letters, MEANING THAT IT RECONCILES BETWEEN RIGHT AND LEFT OF ALL THE LETTERS IN ZEIR ANPIN AND MALCHUT. A voice issues forth from between these letters, THE VAV WHICH IS CALLED 'VOICE', WHICH IS INAUDIBLE IN BINAH, BUT HERE, AS EXPLAINED EARLIER, AMONG THE LETTERS OF ZEIR ANPIN AND MALCHUT, AN AUDIBLE VOICE ISSUES FORTH. THEN, IT MITIGATES THE LETTERS KOF AND RESH AND THE LETTERS YUD-KOF-RESH -ALEPH (YIKRA) ARE UNBLOCKED. Then the glittering of the Vav strikes the glittering of the Yud. This glittering OF THE VAV, which originates from the place called Holy, BINAH, strikes the glittering, MEANING THAT IT RELEASES the letter Yud FROM ITS BLOCKAGE AND IT ILLUMINATES.

chanoch's Commentary

See the permutations in my comments to Pasook 15. This is the idea of Raish Vav Koof. In reverse order Koof Vav Raish is translated as cold and similar words like chilly etc. In English it spells the word Rock. THese three letters using the idea of the Vav being a voice, speak to the growth in consciousness of a Monkey (Koof) growing to a Head (Raish) or the animal kingdom balanced to the speaking Kingdom. Finally in this Pasook we find all of the letters being revealed.

Pasook 16. from the Zohar Commentary on Parasha Vayikra

וּכְדֵין נְצִיצוּ דְּאָת י', בָּטַשׁ לְגוֹ נְצִיצוּ דְּאָת ק' וְנָפְקָא נְצִיצוּ דְּאָת ק', וּבָטַשׁ לְגוֹ נְצִיצוּ דְּאָת ר', וְנַפְקֵי נִצוֹצִין כֻּלְּהוּ, וּמִתְחַבְּרִין לְגוֹ נְצִיצוּ דְּאָת א', דְּקַיְּימָא. וְקָלָא הֲוָא נָפִיק, וּבָטַשׁ בְּכָל אִינּוּן נְצִיצִין דְּאַתְוָון כַּחֲדָא, נְצִיצוּ דְּאָת ו' בְּיוֹ"ד, נְצִיצוּ דְּיוֹ"ד בְּק', נְצִיצוּ דְּק' בְּר', נְצִיצוּ דְּר' בְּא'. וּמִתְחַבְּרָן גְּלִיפִין דִּנְצִיצִין, וְנַפְקֵי לְבָתַר. וּבָתַר דְּמִתְחַבְּרִין בְּנִיצוֹצֵיהוֹן, נָפִיק קָלָא מִבֵּינֵיהוֹן, וּמִתְחַבְּרָן בְּרָזָא דָּא וַיִּקְרָא אֶל מֹשֶׁה. וּמֹשֶׁה הֲוָה מִסְתָּכַּל כָּל אִינּוּן יוֹמִין דְּלָא עָאל.

Then the glittering of the letter Yud strikes the glittering of the letter Kof. The glittering of the letter Kof issues forth and strikes the glittering of the letter Resh and all of these glitterings issue forth and join into the glittering of the stationary letter Aleph, WHICH IS MALCHUT WHICH RECEIVES ALL THAT IS IN YUD-KOF-RESH, WHICH ARE CHESED, GVURAH AND TIFERET. A voice issues forth and strikes all the glitters of the letters together IN ORDER TO CONNECT THEM TO THE SECRET OF THIS CALLING, the glittering of the Vav to the Yud, the glittering of Yud to the Kof, the glittering of the Kof to the Resh and the glittering of Resh to the Aleph. The outlines of the glitters OF THE LETTERS join and then issue forth TO THEIR FUNCTION, FOR after the glitters are connected the voice issues forth from them and they are joined in the hidden meaning OF: "And Hashem called (Heb. vayikra) to Moses" (Vayikra 1:1). Moses used to observe all of these days that he didn't enter THE TENT OF MEETING, WHICH IS MALCHUT.

chanoch adds: Please note glittering strikes glittering. This is a connection to binding by striking which reveals the Light of HaShem.

Pasook 17. from the Zohar Commentary of Parasha Vayikra

לְבָתַר אִתְהֲדָרוּ אַתְוָון, וַהֲווֹ מִתְגַּלְגְּלִין בְּקוּלְפוֹי, בְּצֵרוּפִין דְּאַתְוָון דְּאִתְמְסָרוּ לְאָדָם בְּגִנְתָּא דְּעֵדֶן. אָתא לְאַעֲלָא בְּגוֹ טְמִירָא, לַאֲתַר דְּאִקְרֵי קֹדֶשׁ, וְנָפַק ו', וְיָהִיב דּוּכְתָּא לְאָת א', וְאִתְחַבָּר א' לְגוֹ ו', דְּבַתְרֵיהּ קר, וְי' עָאל בֵּין ק' וְר' וְאִשְׁתְּכַח קִיר. וְאִתְגְּלִיפוּ וְאִתְנְצִיצוּ כְּמִלְּקַדְּמִין, וְקָלָא נָפַק מִבֵּינַיְיהוּ, וּמִתְחַבְּרָן נְצִיצִין דְּאַתְוָון, וְנָפִיק לְבַר וְאִתְגַּלְיָין לְגַבֵּי כָּל אִינּוּן מַשִׁרְיָין, דַּהֲווֹ נַטְלִין אִינּוּן אַתְוָון. וְכַד מִתְחַבְּרָן נְצִיצִין דְּאַתְוָון, קָלָא בָּטַשׁ בֵּינַיְיהוּ, אִתְחָזוּן בְּגִלּוּפַיְיהוּ לְכָל אִינּוּן רְתִיכִין אוֹקִיר. וְקָלָא אַהְדָּר מִבֵּינַיְיהוּ וְקָרֵי בֵּין אִינּוּן רְתִיכִין אוֹקִיר אֱנוֹשׁ מִפָּז וְאָדָם מִכֶּתֶם אוֹפִיר.

After this, the letters returned and were turned in their imprints by the permutation of letters which were given to Adam in the Garden of Eden, to induct the letter Aleph, WHICH IS MALCHUT, into concealment in the place called Holy, IMA. Then the Vav issued forth and yielded place AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WORD to the letter Aleph, and the Aleph connected with the letter Vav which is followed by THE LETTERS Kof-Resh. The Yud, WHICH IS CHESED, entered between the letters Kof-Resh to form Kof-Yud-Resh. They were imprinted and glittered as before, and the voice, WHICH IS THE SECRET OF THE CENTRAL COLUMN, issued from among them. The glitters of the letters connected and emerged outside and were revealed to all the camps that traveled with these letters, WHICH ARE THE CAMPS OF THE FOUR CHARIOTS OF MICHAEL, AS MENTIONED ABOVE. When the glitterings of the letters join, BECOMING COMBINED, a voice strikes among them and their imprint is visible to all the Chariots IN THE COMBINATION Aleph-Vav-Kof-Yud-Resh (okir). The voice returns from them and calls among the Chariots, "I will make men more rare (Heb. okir) than fine gold, and mankind more than the pure gold of Ophir" (Yeshayah 13:12).

chanoch adds: In my opinion the verse in Isaiah is indicating Men who are able to permutate the letters mentally are very rare. This is true today and has always been true. Yet all it takes is practice and desire.

Pasook 18. from Zohar Commentary on Parasha Vayikra

זַכָּאָה חוּלָקֵיהּ דְּמֹשֶׁה דְּחָמֵי כָּל דָּא, אֲבָל צֵרוּפָא דָּא לָא אִתְחֲמֵי לְעֵינוֹי דְּמֹשֶׁה, אֶלָּא צֵרוּפָא קַדְמָאָה דְּאִיהוּ וַיִּקְרָא, דָּא הֲוָה חָמֵי מֹשֶׁה, הה"ד וַיִּקְרָא אֶל מֹשֶׁה. וְצֵרוּפָא דָּא אָחֳרָא לָא גַּלְיָין לֵיהּ. בְּגִין דִּשְׁבָחָא דב"נ לָא מוֹדִעִין לְקַמֵּיהּ. וְסִימָנִיךְ, צְּאוּ שְׁלָשְׁתְּכֶם, וּכְתִיב וַיִּקְרָא אַהֲרֹן וּמִרְיָם, וּכְתִיב פֶּה אֶל פֶּה אֲדַבֵּר בּוֹ, וּכְתִיב לֹא כֵן עַבְדִּי מֹשֶׁה, בְּגִין דְּלָא מוֹדִעִין שְׁבָחֵיהּ דב"נ לְקַמֵּיהּ.

Fortunate is Moses' lot, for he saw all this except the combination OKIR (Aleph-Vav-Kof-Yud-Resh), which was not seen by Moses' eyes. Only the first combination Vayikra (Vav-Yud-Kof-Resh-Aleph) did Moses see. This latter combination was not revealed to him, for we do not state one's praise in his presence. A sign of this is: "Come out you three" (Bemidbar 12:4). It is written, "And called to Aaron and Miriam" (Ibid. 5). It is also written, "With him I speak mouth to mouth" (Ibid. 8) and it is written, "My servant Moses is not so" (Ibid. 7). ALL OF THIS IS BEING SAID TO AARON AND MIRIAM NOT TO MOSES, because we do not state one's praise in his presence.

chanoch's Commentary

This Pasook teaches an alternative to modern psychological teachings. Today, we are told to praise children to give them a good self image. Spiritually people will have a good self image without hearing their praises if they realize how unique and special they are. This is not praising them. This is an important distinction for people to realize how corrupt modern science becomes sometimes.

Pasook 19. from the Zohar Commentary on the Parasha of Vayikra

סַלְּקִין אַתְוָון, וְאִתְהַדְּרוּ בְּכָל אִינּוּן מַשִׁרְיָין כְּגַוְונָא דָּא, בְּצֵרוּפָא דָּא אוֹקִיר. וְקָלָא נָפַק וְאַכְרִיז וְאָמַר, אוֹקִיר אֱנוֹשׁ מִפָּז וְגוֹ'. לְבָתַר אִתְמְשָׁכוּ אַתְוָון, וַהֲווֹ נְצִיצִין עַל רֵישַׁיְיהוּ דְּכָל אִינּוּן רְתִיכִין, וְאִשְׁתְּכָכוּ עַד דְּאִתְתְּקָנוּ לְדוּכְתַּיְיהוּ.

The letters arose in this fashion and returned to all of these camps in the combination Okir (Aleph-Vav-Kof-Yud-Resh). The voice issued forth and declared, "I will make men more rare (Heb. okir) than fine gold..." Then the letters were drawn down and glittered on the heads of all these Chariots, and they subsided until they were set in their places.

chanoch adds: Miriam, Moshe, and Aaron are who are being referred to in this Zohar Pasook. Each one is a chariot. Also please realize that HaShem spoke to Miriam and Aaron with telepathy while in this case referred to in the Pasook Moshe was not spoken to so he did not hear.

Pasook 20. from the Zohar Commentary on the Parasha of Vayikra

רֵישָׁא לִסְטַר שְׂמָאלָא חִזְקִיאֵ"ל רַב מְמָנָא, רַב מַשְׁרְיָין לְכָל אִינּוּן דְּקַיְימֵי לְתַרְעָא דְּמַשְׁכְּנָא, תְּחוֹת שׁוּלְטָנוּתָא דְּגַבְרִיאֵ"ל. וְעִמֵּיהּ מִתְתַּקְּנָן בְּהַהוּא תַּרְעָא, כָּל אִינּוּן מַשִׁרְיָין דִּתְחוֹת יְדֵיהּ. וְחַד מְמָנָא אִתָּקַם עַל תַּרְעָא לְבַר, וְגַזְרִיאֵ"ל שְׁמֵיהּ. וְעִמֵּיהּ י"ב מְמָנָן דְּסָחֲרִין לֵיהּ תְּלַת תְּלַת לְכָל סְטָר, לְד' סִטְרִין.

The head to the left side, MALCHUT is Chizkiel, high minister and superior over the camps of all these who stand at the portal of the tabernacle, WHICH IS MALCHUT, under the dominion of Gabriel. FOR MICHAEL RULES OVER THE RIGHT OF MALCHUT AND GABRIEL OVER HER LEFT. With him are fitted at that portal all these camps under him. One minister named Gazriel is placed in charge over the portal from the outside. With him are twelve ministers who surround him, three on each side at all four sides.

Pasook 21. from the Zohar Commentary on the Parasha of Vayikra

וְאִלֵּין שִׁנָּנָא דְּלָהֲטָא דְּחַרְבָּא דְּמִתְהַפְּכָא בִּידַיְיהוּ. וְהַאי מְמָנָא חִזְקִיאֵ"ל, קָאֵים עָלַיְיהוּ לְעֵילָּא לְעֵילָּא לְגוֹ. אָת חַד נָצִיץ עַל רֵישַׁיְיהוּ, וְאִיהִי אָת א'. דְּהָא לָא קַיְימֵי אִלֵּין, וְלָא נַטְלֵי, אֶלָּא בְּרָזָא דְּא', דְּאִיהִי יְמִינָא. בְּגִין דִּשְׂמָאלָא לָא נָטִיל אֶלָּא בִּימִינָא. יְמִינָא נָטִיל תָּדִיר לִשְׂמָאלָא, דְּא' אָת נָצִיץ וְנָפִיק מִן יְמִינָא. כְּדֵין נַטְלִין לְהַהוּא אֲתַר דְּנָצִיץ הַהוּא נְצִיצוּ.

These are the ones whose hands hold the blade of the revolving sword. This minister, Chizkiel, is in charge over them much higher on the inside. One letter glitters over their heads, the letter Aleph, WHICH IS THE SIDE OF MALCHUT IN GABRIEL, for these camps stand and travel only according to the secret of Aleph, which is the right “ WHICH IS MALCHUT THAT ISSUES FORTH WITH CHASSADIM, WHICH IS THE RIGHT SIDE. For the left OF GABRIEL travels only with the right, MEANING BY BEING ENCLOTHED IN CHASSADIM, and the right travels always to the left, MEANING WITH THE INCLUSION OF THE LEFT. The Aleph is a letter, which glitters and issues forth from the right, MEANING MALCHUT FROM THE ASPECT OF CHASSADIM IN HER. Then, ALL THE CAMPS travel to that place where that glitter radiates.

Pasook 22. from the Zohar Commentary on the Parasha of Vayikra

לְגוֹ מִנֵיהּ רַהֲטִיאֵ"ל רַב מַשִׁרְיָין, דְּקַיְּימָא לְגוֹ תְּחוֹת שָׁלְטָנוּתָא דְּגַבְרִיאֵ"ל. וְעִמֵּיהּ כָּל אִינּוּן מַשִּׁרְיָין תְּחוֹת יְדֵיהּ. וְחַד מְמָנָא קָאֵים עָלַיְיהוּ בְּתַרְעָא, דְּאִתְקְרֵי קַדְשִׁיאֵ"ל, וְסַחֲרִין לֵיהּ י"ב מְמָנָן, תְּלַת תְּלַת ד' זִמְנִין. וְהַהוּא מְמָנָא רַהֲטִיאֵ"ל קַיְּימָא עַל כֻּלְּהוּ, דְּלָא אִשְׁתַּנֵּי שְׁמֵיהּ. אָת חַד נָצִיץ עַל רֵישַׁיְיהוּ דְּכָל אִלֵּין מַשִׁרְיָין, וְאָת דָּא אִיהוּ ז', וְאִיהוּ אִתְחַלָּף גּוֹ תִּקּוּנָא דְּמַשְׁכְּנָא בְּאָת לֹ. הַאי אִתְחַלָּף בְּרָזָא דְּיִזַּל מַיִם מִדָּלְיָו. וְאִתְחַלָּף בְּגִלּוּפֵי אַתְוָון, וְאִקְרֵי חִלּוּפָא ל'. כַּד הַאי נָצִיץ עַל רֵישַׁיְיהוּ דְּכָל אִלֵּין מַשִׁרְיָין, כְּדֵין כֻּלְּהוּ נַטְלִין לְהַהוּא סִטְרָא דְּהַהוּא נְצִיצוּ.

Inside them, THAT IS, WITHIN THE ASPECT OF MALCHUT, MEANING THE ASPECT OF TIFERET, IS THE MINISTER Rahatiel, superior of the camps who stand within under the dominion of Gabriel. With him are all the camps under him. One minister named Kadshiel is in charge over them at the portal and twelve ministers surround him, four times three. That minister Rahatiel is in charge over all of them, for his name does not change. HERE TOO, IN THE ASPECT OF TIFERET THERE ARE THREE ANGELS, CHESED, GVURAH AND TIFERET, NAMELY GABRIEL, RAHATIEL AND KADSHIEL. One letter glitters over the heads of all the camps; it is the letter Zayin, WHICH IS THE SIDE OF TIFERET IN GABRIEL. It is exchanged with the setting of the tabernacle for the letter Lamed, MEANING THAT IT IS MITIGATED WITH BINAH, WHICH IS REPRESENTED BY THE LAMED WHICH IS A TOWER FLYING IN THE AIR. This exchange is alluded to in the verse: "He shall pour (Heb. yizal) the water out of his bucket" (Bemidbar 24:7), FOR BINAH IS THE BUCKET OF TIFERET. The Zayin is exchanged in the engraving of the letters and is called the substitute of Lamed. When this letter glitters on the head of all these camps, they all travel to the side of that glittering.

chanoch adds: The concept of Notariken is being introduced through the exchange of Lamed and Zion.

Pasook 23. from the Zohar Commentary on the Parasha Vayikra

לְגוֹ מִן דָּא, קַפְצִיאֵ"ל רַב מְמָנָא, רַב מַשְׁרְיָין, תְּחוֹת שָׁלְטָנֵיהּ דְּגַבְרִיאֵל, וְעִמֵּיהּ הֲווֹ מְתְתַּקְנָן כָּל אִינּוּן מַשִׁרְיָין דִּתְחוֹת יְדֵיהּ, אִינּוּן דְּאִתְמְסָרוּ לֵיהּ בְּהַהִיא שַׁעֲתָא, וְחַד מְמָנָא קָאֵים עָלַיְיהוּ עֲזָאֵ"ל שְׁמֵיהּ. וי"ב מְמָנָן סָחֲרִין לֵיהּ לְכָל עִיבָר, תְּלַת תְּלַת כְּמָה דְּאוֹקִימְנָא, וְקַפְצִיאֵ"ל רַב מְמָנָא קַיְּימָא עַל כֻּלְּהוּ. אָת חַד נָצִיץ עַל רֵישַׁיְיהוּ דְּכָל אִלֵּין מַשִׁרְיָין, וְאִיהִי אָת ד', וְכֻלְּהוּ נַטְלֵי לְהַהוּא נְצִיצוּ דְּהַהוּא אָת. הַאי אָת תַּלְיָיא גּוֹ אֲוִירָא, עַל תְּרֵין אַתְוָון אָחֳרָנִין.

Inside, THAT IS, WITHIN THE ASPECT OF TIFERET, MEANING THE ASPECT OF GVURAH, is Kaftziel, high minister and superior of the camps under the dominion of Gabriel. With him are fitted all these camps under him, those which are entrusted to him at that time. One minister named Azael is in charge over them and twelve ministers surround him, three on each side, as we have established. HERE TOO, IN THE SIDE OF GVURAH OF GABRIEL, THERE ARE THREE ANGELS, CHESED, GVURAH AND TIFERET, NAMELY GABRIEL, KAPTZIEL AND AZAEL. AZAEL BY HIMSELF, WHO IS TIFERET, CONTAINS TWELVE, AS EXPLAINED ABOVE. And Kaptziel, high minister, is in charge over all of them. One letter glitters over the heads of all these camps. It is the letter Dalet, WHICH IS THE SIDE OF GVURAH OF GABRIEL, and they all travel towards the glittering of that letter. This letter is suspended in the air over two other letters, ALEPH AND LAMED.

chanoch adds: Note that Alef and Lamed are spelling the Name El which is what is being added to the Names of all of these Angels. As we have said, when an angel is given a task they are also given the energy to perform that task. When the Names of God are added to an Angels task that is the energy to perform that task.

Pasook 24. from the Zohar Commentary of Parasha Vayikra

לְגוֹ מִן דָּא שַׁמְעִיאֵ"ל רַב מְמָנָא, הַאי אִתְחַלָּף לְד' שְׁמָהָן, בְּגִין דְּלָא קַיְּימָא בְּגַלְפוֹי. זִמְנִין לִסְטַר יְמִינָא, וְזִמְנִין לִסְטַר שְׂמָאלָא, וְעִמֵּיהּ י"ב מְמָנָן דְּסָחֲרִין לֵיהּ לְכָל עִיבָר תְּלַת תְּלַת, כְּמָה דְּאוֹקִימְנָא, וְרַגְשִׁיאֵ"ל רַב מְמָנָא עַל אִלֵּין י"ב, תְּחוֹתֵיהּ דְּהַהוּא מְמָנָא אָחֳרָא. וְאָת חַד נָצִיץ עַל רֵישַׁיְיהוּ לְעֵילָּא, וְאָת דָּא אִיהִי אָת ה', וְדָא תַּלְיָא בַּאֲוִירָא עַל כָּל שְׁאָר אַתְוָון, בְּהַהוּא אָת ד' דְּקַאמְרָן. אִלֵּין תְּרֵין סְלִיקוּ לְעֵיל עַל כָּל שְׁאָר אָחֳרָנִין, וְכֻלְּהוּ נַטְלִין לְהַהוּא נְצִיצוּ דְּתַלְיָא מֵהַהוּא אָת.

Inside them, THAT IS, WITHIN THE ASPECT OF GVURAH OF GABRIEL, MEANING HIS ASPECT OF CHESED, IS Sham'iel, high minister. This one changes to four names, because he does not remain in his position. At times he is on the right side and at times he is on the left side, AT TIMES TO THE EAST AND AT TIMES TO THE WEST. HE IS NAMED ACCORDING TO HIS FUNCTION. With him are twelve ministers who surround him, three on each side, as we have established. Ragshiel, high minister, is over these twelve MINISTERS, under the other minister SHAMIEL. HERE TOO, IN THE SIDE OF CHESED OF GABRIEL, THERE ARE THREE ANGELS OF CHESED, GVURAH AND TIFERET, NAMELY GABRIEL, SHAMIEL AND RAGSHIEL. RAGSHIEL BY HIMSELF CONTAINS TWELVE. One letter glitters on the heads of all these camps, the letter Hei. This letter is suspended in the air over all the other letters, ALEPH AND LAMED, as we stated regarding the letter Dalet. These two LETTERS, DALET HEI, rise above all the others, FOR THEY ARE CHESED AND GVURAH WHICH ARE THE FIRST THREE SFIROT. They all travel to that glittering which is suspended from that letter Hei.

In the innermost in the place called Holy (Heb. kodesh), BINAH, one letter glitters in the concealment of Holy, the letter closed Mem, FOR THE CLOSED FINAL MEM ALWAYS ILLUMINATES AT THE LEFT SIDE OF BINAH. It glitters with a spark over all the letters “ ALEPH, LAMED, DALET AND HEI “ and a voice issues from among the letters. The glittering of this letter, THE CLOSED MEM, strikes and takes the last two letters, which are glitterings suspended in the air “ namely, Dalet and Hei “ leaving Aleph-Lamed, that connects with the others to the right, VAYIKRA. They strike each other and they all travel, and the first LETTERS, VAYIKRA, return TO GLEAM as before. They issue forth FROM MALCHUT outside TO MOSES, whereon "Hashem called to (Heb. vayikra el) Moses." THE CALL AND SUMMONS TO MOSES TO ENTER THE TENT OF MEETING ISSUED FORTH FROM THESE PERMUTATIONS OF LETTERS.
