Jirmejahu 6:25 Kabbala: Zohar

Come and behold, it is written, "And Jacob dwelt in the land in which his father sojourned" (Beresheet 37:1). HE ASKS, What is meant by "his father sojourned (Heb. מְגוּרֵי)"? Terror (Heb. מָגוֹר) from every side, because he was anxious and afraid all his days. Rabbi Elazar said, "And Jacob dwelt" in this place that was unified with darkness. "The land in which his father sojourned" means precisely. "In the land of Canaan" alludes to a place connected to its proper location, which means that the Nukva is called 'land.' When She is connected to the Left Column, who was the father of Jacob, She is called the 'Land of Canaan'. As it was said, a place attached to its proper location, which means that the land of Canaan is connected to the land of his father's sojourning, which is the Left Column. "His father sojourned" is Harsh Judgment. The "land in which his father sojourned" is Weak Judgment, as we have learned. This is land that is joined with and emerges from Harsh Judgment. Jacob dwelt in, and held on to, this land.
