Kabbalah 1 Raja-raja 8:32: Sha'arei Orah

Know that about the secret of this order, the verse states,²⁷⁸Kings I 22:19 “I have seen HaShem-יהו״ה sitting upon His throne, with all the hosts of the heavens-Tzva HaShamayim-צבא השמים standing by Him, on His right and on His left.” The “hosts of the heavens-Tzva HaShamayim-צבא השמים” in this verse refer to the matter of the two names called “the heavens-Shamayim-שמים,” this being the matter of the names E”l-א״ל and Elohi”m-אלהי״ם, and it is through them that HaShem-יהו״ה is referred to as “the heavens-HaShamayim-השמים,” as in the verse,²⁷⁹Deuteronomy 33:26 “Riding upon the heavens-Rochev Shamayim-רוכב שמים,” or,²⁸⁰Psalms 123:1 “You Who dwells in the heavens-HaYoshvee BaShamayim-היושבי בשמים.” About this the verse states,²⁸¹Kings I 8:32 “May You in the heavens hear-v’Atah Tishma HaShamayim-ואתה תשמע השמים,” literally referring to the heavens-Shamayim-שמים, meaning to E”l-א״ל and Elohi”m-אלהי״ם, and the hosts-Tzva-צבא of E”l-א״ל and Elohi”m-אלהי״ם stand to HaShem’s-יהו"ה right and left, as depicted in the above chart. The adjectives of the name E”l-א״ל argue in favor, thus transforming the matter to merit, and are the matter of the verse,²⁸²Deuteronomy 33:2 “From His right hand He gave them a fiery Law.” The adjectives of the name Elohi”m-אלהי״ם argue for guilt, and are the matter of the word,²⁸³Kings I 22:19 “On His left-MiSmolo-משמאלו.” This is what our sages, of blessed memory, meant when they said,²⁸⁴Midrash Shir HaShirim Rabba 1:9 and elsewhere. “The verse states, ‘All the hosts of the heavens standing by Him, on His right and on His left.’ These argue to the right, and these argue to the left. The right argues for merit, and the left argues for condemnation.”
