Musar for Zechariah 13:2
וְהָיָה֩ בַיּ֨וֹם הַה֜וּא נְאֻ֣ם ׀ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֗וֹת אַכְרִ֞ית אֶת־שְׁמ֤וֹת הָֽעֲצַבִּים֙ מִן־הָאָ֔רֶץ וְלֹ֥א יִזָּכְר֖וּ ע֑וֹד וְגַ֧ם אֶת־הַנְּבִיאִ֛ים וְאֶת־ר֥וּחַ הַטֻּמְאָ֖ה אַעֲבִ֥יר מִן־הָאָֽרֶץ׃
And it shall come to pass in that day, Saith the LORD of hosts, That I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, And they shall no more be remembered; And also I will cause the prophets And the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
We have previously discussed the fact that anyone whose soul, נשמה, is rooted in the very highest regions of the Celestial Spheres, in the עולם האצילות, can never be the cause of sin. If however, his soul is only on the level of רוח, then he may become the source of sin through the seduction of the serpent which was affected by the spirit of envy, which in turn brings in its wake the spirit of טומאה, impurity. King David constantly begged that the Holy Spirit, רוח הקדושה, as well as the spirit of wisdom and understanding may inhabit him, and that the prophecy of Zachariah 13,2, where G–d says "I will remove the spirit of impurity from Earth," be fulfilled in the future.
