Kabbalah su Genesi 33:78

We have already explained that wherever it is written, "He called," (without saying to whom), it is the lower grade, (the Nukvah) as it is written, "And called Moses" (Vayikra 1:1). (the Nukvah called Moses). And here it is written, "and he called his name 'Jacob'" (Gen. 25:26). For no man even named Jacob, as it is written elsewhere, "And called it (lit. 'him') El the Elohim Yisrael" (Gen. 33:20). This is the Holy One, blessed be He, who called Jacob 'El'. He said to him: 'I am El among the upper, and you are El among the lower.'

Let the deaf hear (Isa. 42:18) and the lame run and not get tired. Let the blind see (Isa. 42:18) the teeming visions (Exod. 38:8) which are gleaned and reaped by the heads of the tribes (Num. 30:2), they and their children (Gen. 33:6), commoner and priest alike, as is acknowledged properly. “All is foreseen, and permission is given” (Avot 3:16). Let the men go (Exod. 10:11) to the chief cornerstone (Ps. 118:22) to make books (Eccles. 12:12) which speak of the honor of God to the house of Israel. For all the congregation (Num. 16:3), the suckling with the venerable man (Deut. 32:25), and the mixed multitude fell a lusting (Num. 11:4) for Torah and testimony (Isa. 8:20), and the weaned child shall put his hand (Isa. 11:8).

The verse: "And fruit tree yielding fruit" (Gen. 1:11) alludes to two grades: one grade above another, which represents male and female. This means that the fruit tree is the Female principle of Zeir Anpin; "yielding fruit" alludes to Yesod of Zeir Anpin, which is male. It is said to be "yielding fruit" because all the fruit that the female yields reaches her from the male. Just as the "fruit tree," which is the Female principle, reveals the potential power that it received from the "fruit tree yielding fruit," which is the male, so it reveals her own potential as well. What is revealed from the potential of the Female principle herself? The Cherubs and pillars are revealed from her own aspect. What are these pillars? They are those that rise up in the smoke of the sacrifice and become stronger because of the offering. They are called "columns of smoke." This is the secret of the verse: "Who is this coming out of the wilderness like columns of smoke" (Song of Songs 3:6). So the Cherubs are the secret of the "herb" that she receives from the male and the "columns of smoke" are the "grass." The Cherubs and pillars exist for "the service of men," but not the "grass," which is meant for food, as it is written: "Behold now animals (Heb. בְּהֵמוֹת), which I made with you; he eats grass like an ox" (Job 40:15).

And some times the name Adona"y is called by the nickname "All/kol", and the reason is that there is absolutely no lack in it, behold: all types of flow and emanation and all types of blessing and the maintaining, all enter through it. And it is called Ko"l because all is in it, and regarding every type of need that anything needs in the world there is no deity to request it from except this, and no other place from where to request, because all is included in this name and from this place every requester will express their will, each according to their need and will, as s/he calls God with integrity (See Psalms 145:18). And more, Yesod, which is the aspect just above this, is called Kol/All, for principles that will be explained later with the help of Hashem. And this aspect that is called Ko"l was given as a gift by Y"Y to Avraham, as I explained to you, that behold that is the basis of the blessing and the pool. And regarding this there is the hint in It saying: "And Y"Y blessed Avraham with All" (Genesis 24:1). And from Avraham to Yitzchak, in It saying: "and I ate from All before you came and I blessed him" (Genesis 27:33). And from Yitzchak to Ya'akov, in It saying: "since Elohim was gracious to me and since I have All" (Genesis 33:11) the explanation is that Ya'akov said to Esav: lest you think that I will have any lack due to giving to you? Know that all the keys of the upper blessing are all given into my hand, and behold it is included in All, and this is "because I have All", and therefore I do not lack anything in giving something to you.

And sometimes the name Adona"y is called by the nickname Even [Stone], because it is the basis [yesod] for all the buildings of the world and all that is found in the world support themselves with it and need it. And it is called Head Stone (Zechariah 4:7) because from it came out all the multitudes from High and Low during Creation. And it is called Sapphire Stone (see Ezekiel 1:26; Ezekiel 10:1, note linguistic connection with Sefirot) because it receives all the nuances from all the other levels above it, and acts on the creatures both a thing and its opposite, sometimes for good and sometimes for bad, to make live and to make die, to make sick and to heal, to make poor and to make rich, and so on. And the hint of this: "See, now, that I, I am the One, and there is no power alongside Me, I make die and I make live, I separated and I heal (Deuteronomy 32:39). Moreover, this aspect absorbs the strength of the Sefirot and draws to itself all types of emanation and blessing, and after it has drawn from the blessings above it returns and gives sustenance and food to all found below it, to each as it is fitting. And regarding it, it is written: "The stone that the builders rejected has become the head cornerstone. " (Psalms 118:22) - that, behold! Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya'akov took their places above it, in the upper sefirot above it, until David came and held strongly to it, and took it as his aspect, and he is the one that said "became the head cornerstone [pinah]", since all faces of all the created, both upper and lower, turn to it [ponim], whether in the levels above or below it. Above it, the turn to it to continue their strength, flow, goodness and blessings; below it they turn to it to ask from it their sustenance, food and maintenance. And this is the secret of "to the head cornerstone", and it is the secret of "or who set its cornerstone" (Job 38:6). And this is what sustains Israel, and your sign [that this is true is] "from there the Shepherd Stone of Yisrael" (Genesis 49:24). And this stone desires, wants and tends towards another stone above it, and from it [that other stone] will come to it [the Stone] all types of emanations and those two precious stones are for Israel, and your sign [that this is true is] : "and you shall take two stones of lazuli and engrave on them the names of the Children of Israel (Exodus 28:9). and this is the secret of "Adona"y YHV"H what will you give to me?" (Genesis 15:2). The Shechinah attracts from Upper to Lower and is attracted from Lower to Upper. And corresponding to this Stone there is another Stone called the Great Stone, and when it is sitting on the Well, Israel are enslaved under it, until comes the one who has Mishpat [Judgment] and your sign [that this is true is] "And Ya'akov approached and rolled the stone on the mouth of the well" (Genesis 29:10), and this is the secret of the potion "and Ya'akov traveled towards Sukkot" (Genesis 33:17) and of the portion "behold the day of Y"Y arrives" (Zecharia 14:1).

The upper living creatures (who are concealed) are all included in the "firmament of heaven" as it is written of them: "Let there be luminaries in the firmament of heaven" (Gen. 1:14). The verse: "And let there be for luminaries in the firmament of heaven" (tells us) that all (the lights) are suspended from that "firmament of heaven." That is the firmament above the living creatures, about which it is written: "And over the heads of the living creatures there was the likeness of a firmament, as the color of the terrible ice" (Yechezkel 1:22). This is the primal (firmament).

Because Jacob saw through the Holy Spirit the oppression of the last exile, in the end of days, it is said of him, "Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed" (Beresheet 32:8). As a result, he divided the holy nation in exile into three parts, as it is written: "And he put the handmaids and their children foremost" (Beresheet 33:2). At first in the exile of Edom, "and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph last of all." Because he saw their eventual poverty and suffering, (he prayed for them): "So that I come back to my father's house in peace" (Beresheet 28:21). (He prayed): "And will give me bread to eat, and clothing to wear" (Ibid.)

The seventh precept is to perform circumcision on the eighth day of life and remove the defilement of the foreskin. Because that living creature is the eighth grade, compared to the other grades. And that soul that flies away and emerges from it must appear before it on the eighth day, as it in itself is the eighth grade.
