Kabbalah Pengkhotbah 1:5: Zohar

AND JACOB WENT OUT PROM BEER-SHEBA AND WENT TOWARD HARAN. R. Hiya drew a parallel between this statement and the verse: The sun ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he ariseth (Eccles. 1, 5). ‘The sun arising’, he said, ‘is parallel to Jacob when in Beersheba; and “the sun going down” to Jacob on his way to Haran, when, as we read, “he tarried there all night, because the sun was set”; and as the “sun hasteth to his place where he ariseth”, so Jacob “lay down in that place to sleep”.

R. Hiya said: ‘When the sun goes down to the West, the West is called the place of the sun and his throne, the place in which he abides, and to which he gathers in all his radiance.

R. Hiya said: ‘This is the place mentioned in the verse, “and he hasteth to his place’ (Eccl. 1, 5). AND TARRIED THERE ALL NIGHT, BECAUSE THE SUN CAME , i.e. came to illumine it, as it says: “he hasteth to his place where he shines”.
