Kabbalah sur L’Exode 20:11
כִּ֣י שֵֽׁשֶׁת־יָמִים֩ עָשָׂ֨ה יְהוָ֜ה אֶת־הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם וְאֶת־הָאָ֗רֶץ אֶת־הַיָּם֙ וְאֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־בָּ֔ם וַיָּ֖נַח בַּיּ֣וֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִ֑י עַל־כֵּ֗ן בֵּרַ֧ךְ יְהוָ֛ה אֶת־י֥וֹם הַשַּׁבָּ֖ת וַֽיְקַדְּשֵֽׁהוּ׃ (ס)
Car en six jours l’Éternel a fait le ciel, la terre, la mer et tout ce qu’ils renferment et il s’est reposé le septième jour; c’est pourquoi l’Éternel a béni le jour du Sabbat et l’a sanctifié.
Idra Zuta
This is the meaning behind the verse, “therefore Hashem blessed the Shabbat day and hallowed it” (Shemot 20:11). Everything is then influenced by a single whole body, because Malchut cleaves to the king on Shabbat, so they are one body. Blessings therefore abide on that day. From this we deduce that whoever is not in a state of male and female is considered half a body, and no blessings resides over something damaged and lacking but on a whole place, something whole, not on half a thing; and half a thing cannot endure and is never blessed.
