Chasidut zu Schir haSchirim 7:5

An alternate interpretation of the unusual line: ‎אלה פקודי ‏המשכן משכן העדות אשר פקד משה על פי ה' וגו'‏‎. According to a ‎statement in Taanit 8 blessings do not take hold on matters ‎that are subject to being weighed measured or counted. This ‎poses a problem with respect to the Tabernacle, as its ‎components were subject to being numbered, weighed and ‎measured. In spite of this principle, blessings most certainly were ‎manifest in the process of the construction of the Tabernacle, and ‎its operation without known mishaps for hundreds of years. ‎Scriptural proof for the fact that the Tabernacle was indeed ‎blessed is furnished by Song of Songs 7,5 where we read: ‎עיניך ‏ברכות בחשבון‎ ,”your eyes are like the pools in Cheshbon,” which, ‎according to Rashi, is to be understood as “your wise men ‎are preoccupied with the calendar and how to adjust it to allow ‎for seasonal factors.” The root of the word ‎עין‎, “eye,” is the evil ‎use that can be made by one’s eyes, the prime example being the ‎prophet Bileam who would ruin anything that he set his eye on. ‎‎(Compare Zohar I 68) The reason that this is so is that an ‎evil person tries constantly to disrupt other people’s connection ‎to their divine roots which are the source of their being alive. The ‎harm befalling items subject to measuring, weighing or counting, ‎is the result of the evil person’s overpowering desire to acquire ‎for his personal advantage anything that his eye desires. The ‎above quoted verse from Song of Songs teaches that the leaders ‎of the Jewish people, the “eyes” of the community, as well as ‎their undertakings, were blessed, ‎ברכות‎, even in matters involving ‎counting, weighing and measuring, ‎בחשבון‎. The reason why this ‎is so, is that the average Jew, whenever he contemplates a new ‎phenomenon that he sees with his eyes, automatically relates it ‎to its source, the Creator. When a Jew encounters phenomena he ‎was not aware of, his respect and awe for the Creator of such ‎phenomena is enhanced beyond what it had been previously. The ‎word ‎ברכות‎ in Song of Songs can have two meanings, one of ‎which is “fountains,” sources of water, “life.” The message of our ‎verse is that seeing that the materials for the Tabernacle were ‎counted not once but repeatedly and still clearly the blessing ‎continued to rest on it, it is proof that this was due to Moses ‎having done the counting, i.e. having given the instructions. His ‎constant close attachment to the Divine prevented any negative ‎vibes normally associated with counting, measuring and weighing ‎from harming the Tabernacle.‎‎ ‎
