Le Deutéronome 4:4 Cabale : Zohar, Sha'arei Kedusha, Ohr Ne'erav & Sha'arei Orah

Yet withal he spoke only in love for Israel, as it says, “Ye are a holy people”, etc. (Ibid. 7, 6).

Why does all this come upon them? Because they do not duly sanctify themselves in wedlock. God said: Of all peoples I desired to attach to myself only Israel; hence, “Ye shall be holy”.’ YE SHALL BE HOLY FOR I THE LORD AM HOLY.

Now the light of the souls is a garment for the ten Sefirot. This is the meaning of the verse,⁸²⁹Song of Songs 6:2 “My Beloved has gone down to His garden,” referring to this world. The verse concludes, “To graze His sheep in the gardens, and to pick roses-Lir’ot BaGaneem v’Leelkot Shoshanim-לרעות בגנים וללקוט שושנים,” which forms the acrostic (Notarikon) “garment-Levush-לבוש.” For, he picks the souls of the righteous, who are as fragrant as roses because of their good deeds in this world.⁸³⁰Talmud Yerushalmi, Brachot 2:8 He picks them to manifests His light within them. This is the meaning of the verse,⁸³¹Deuteronomy 4:4 “You who adhere (HaDveikim-הדבקים) to HaShem-יהו״ה are all alive today,” referring to complete and direct adhesion (Dveikut) to the light of the ten Sefirot, which does not apply to any other creatures. This is as is written,⁸³²Jeremiah 13:11 “For just as a belt is fastened to a man’s loins, so I fastened the entire house of Israel to Myself.”
