Abram s’avança dans le pays jusqu’au territoire de Sichem, jusqu’à la plaine de Môré; le Cananéen habitait dès lors ce pays.
Zohar
“And if he take him another”…. What do these words signify? Ah, they indeed contain a mystery of mysteries, such as is entrusted only to the wisest of the wise! One thing must be mentioned as a preliminary. On the Sabbath day, when the day is being sanctified, myriads of new souls emerge from the Tree of Life, and these are breathed into the denizens of earth and enter into them and remain in them during the whole of the Sabbath, and at the close of the Sabbath all these souls ascend once more to the regions of light, there to crown themselves with holy crowns of supernal brightness and splendour. And as at man’s birth the Holy One provides him with a soul, so also does He provide him with this “other” soul specially for the Sabbath: at the same time not “diminishing” the food, raiment, etc., from his week-day soul.
