Kabbalah Mazmur 19:11: Zohar, Idra Zuta & Tikkunei Zohar

NOW KORAH THE SON OF IZHAR THE SON OF KEHATH THE SON OF LEVI, ETC. He who makes the right left and the left right, as it were, lays waste the world.

1. "And Hashem spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 'This is the ordinance of the Torah which Hashem has commanded'" (Bemidbar 19:1-2). Rabbi Yosi opened the discussion saying: "and this is the Torah which Moses set before the children of Yisrael" (Devarim 4:44). Come and behold: the words of the Torah are holy, lofty, and sweet, as it is written: "more to be desired are they than gold, and much fine gold: sweeter also than honey..." (Tehilim 19:11). It is as if whoever studies the Torah stands every day at Mount Sinai and receives the Torah. This is what it says: "this day you are become a people" (Devarim 27:9). And the friends have already set the explanation.

In the Secrets of Letters of King Shelomo, he says that the four letters Aleph, Chet, Hei and Ayin were crowned with the four letters Gimel, Yud, Caf and Kof in the palate (as said in Mishpatim, section 532). Therefore, there is an allusion to three columns in the palate as well, as said, “the palate tastes food” (Iyov 34:2) referring to the right column; “Can that which is unsavory be eaten without salt?” (Ibid. 6:6) referring to the left column that we must not enjoy before it unites with the right, like the “unsavory without salt.” The verse, “And the work of righteousness shall be peace” (Yeshayahu 32:17) is the central column that unites and makes peace between the two columns, right and left. “More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter” (Tehillim 19:11) refers to Malchut that receives the abundance of the three columns that are surely sweet.
