Les Proverbes 22:9 Cabale : Zohar, Sha'arei Orah & Idra Zuta

We have learnt’, he said, ‘that there are seven firmaments which are six and also five.

We thus find that David included both judgment-Din and mercy-Rachamim, and it therefore states about him,²⁰Samuel II 8:15 “David reigned over all Israel; David administered justice and charity to all his people.” That is, “justice-Mishpat-משפט” stemmed from the side of judgment-Din, in that “He was ruddy-Admonee-אדמוני,” whereas “charity-Tzedakah-צדקה” stemmed from the side of kindness-Chessed and mercy-Tiferet, in that he had “beautiful eyes-Yefeh Aynayim-יפה עינים and was good looking-Tov Ro’ee-טוב רואי.” Therefore, when David would garb himself in the quality of “ruddy-Admonee-אדמוני,” he would wage the wars of HaShem-יהו״ה against HaShem’s-יהו״ה enemies, and his sword never returned empty-handed. When he would garb himself in the quality of “beautiful eyes-Yefeh Aynayim-יפה עינים,” he would sustain the Jewish people and do various kindnesses on their behalf, with a good eye. About this the verse states,²¹Proverbs 22:9 “One with a good eye-Tov Ayin-טוב עין will be blessed, for he has given of his bread to the poor.” When he would garb himself in the quality of “good looking-Tov Ro’ee-טוב רואי,” he would delve into the depths of Torah and behold its hidden secrets, yearning to taste of its delights, and would say,²²Psalms 119:72 “The Torah of Your mouth is better for me than thousands in gold and silver.” He would yearn with great desire and say,²³Psalms 119:18 “Uncover my eyes so that I may behold the wonders of Your Torah.” He thus would sustain Torah through the quality of “good looking-Tov Ro’ee-טוב רואי,” and he would delve into the secrets of the Torah with this quality.

That brain, which is concealed Chochmah, is called the fount of blessings. It is the fount wherefrom all blessings originate. Since this brain is alight with the three kinds of white in the eyes, blessings derive from the eye, as written, “He that has a generous eye shall be blessed” (Mishlei 22:9), as the white part of the eye derives from the brain. When that eye beholds Zeir Anpin, everyone rejoices. This eye – even though it contains the three columns of right, left, and central, still it is wholly white without left (as said in the Greater Gathering, section 42). But the lower eyes of Zeir Anpin are the right and the left, two of two aspects; the right is Chesed, and the left is Gvurah with the illumination of Chochmah.
