Deuteronómio 23:8 Cábala: Sha'arei Orah

My son, let not your thoughts to be seduced, nor allow yourself to be misled into believing that a perfectly righteous Tzaddik, such as our forefather Yitzchak, peace be upon him, would stumble in something so minor. Rather, all his deeds were balanced scales of justice in his service of HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He. Know that when our forefather Yitzchak, peace be upon him, saw that there are two worlds; this world (Olam HaZeh-עולם הזה) and the coming world (Olam HaBa-עולם הבא), and saw that the Jewish people will be crushed and pained in this world, and that his quality – the quality of judgment-Din-דין – would be spread over the Jewish people, he became very pained by this and said, “What will my children do if they will be amongst the seventy nations? How will they conduct themselves to survive amongst them in exile?” He thus said, “It is better that I give my son Esav the blessings of this world, which come through food and drink, so that once the Jewish people sin and become subject to exile, he will rule over them. Better that they be in the exile with their brother Esav, than to be in exile amongst nations of heathens.” Yitzchak therefore said, “Since it is not possible that the quality of judgment-Din-דין will not exact its debt from the Jewish people, it is better that their debt be exacted at the hands of their brother, rather than at the hands of heathen.” This is the secret of the verse,³⁵¹Deuteronomy 23:8 “You shall not abhor an Edomite, for he is your brother.”
