Kabbalah Yesaya 26:8: Sha'arei Orah

אַ֣ף אֹ֧רַח מִשְׁפָּטֶ֛יךָ יְהוָ֖ה קִוִּינ֑וּךָ לְשִׁמְךָ֥ וּֽלְזִכְרְךָ֖ תַּאֲוַת־נָֽפֶשׁ׃

Juga jalan penghakiman-Mu, ya Yang Mahakekal, kami nantikan dari-Mu; kepada nama-Mu dan kepada sebutan-Mu tertuju kerinduan jiwa kami.

Sha'arei Orah

Know now, that this place in which they judge, is positioned between the names HaShem-יהו״ה and Elohi”m-אלהי״ם, however, it mostly is in the portion of Elohi”m-אלהי״ם.286See Talmud Bavli, Yoma 25a that the Chamber of Hewn Stone (Lishkat HaGazit) was half in the sacred area of the Temple grounds, and half in the non-sacred area. Furthermore, in addition to the Court of Seventy-One, there are three Courts of Law of Twenty-Three, in which the people of the world are also judged. However, there is a difference between one court and the other. In one of these known Courts of Law, they judge matters of life and death, and in other known Courts, they judge matters of wealth and poverty. With HaShem’s-יהו״ה help, we will come to explain all these matters according to their proper explanations, because not all judgements are judged in the Upper Court of Justice (Beit Din Shel Ma’alah). Rather, there are special places above, in which judgments are rendered for specific matters. With HaShem’s-יהו״ה help, blessed is He, we have yet to inform you of the matter of these places where judgements are rendered by the Court (Beit Din), and from where the emissaries depart with the decrees in their hands and come to the hosts of the lower heavens, which contain the sun, the moon, the stars, and all the constellations, and how they all conclude the judgment upon the creatures according to the sentence that was decreed in the Upper Court of Justice (Beit Din Shel Ma’alah). None amongst them is capable of changing anything that was decreed by the Great Name HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He. This is the meaning of the verse,287Isaiah 26:8 “Even while on the path of Your judgments HaShem-יהו״ה, we put our hopes in You.”
