Kabbalah su Genesi 3:25

After (Adam) sinned, everything disappeared from the world, and the earth was cursed, as it is written, "cursed is the earth for your sake" (Gen. 3:17), "When you till the ground, it shall not henceforth give its strength to you..." (Gen. 4:12) and "thorns also and thistles it shall bring forth to you" (Gen. 3:18).

This evil monger (is the evil inclination). As written, "The serpent was craftier" (Beresheet 3:2). He, too, hurries to dwell in man before his colleague comes to dwell in him. And because he arrived early to plead his case, when, his colleague, who is the Good Inclination, comes later, it is difficult for man to unite with it! And he cannot raise his head, as if he carried on his shoulders all the burdens of the world. All this is because the Evil One came first. Of this, Solomon said, "The Poor man's wisdom is despised and his words are not heard" (Kohelet 9:16), because the other one arrived earlier.

Come and behold, since Esau followed on the serpent, Jacob dealt with him slyly, as the serpent was cunning and had crooked ways. As it is written, "the serpent was craftier" (Gen. 3:1), which means that he was cunning (and sly). What Jacob did with Esau was serpent-like. This was as it ought to have been; by making Esau go after that serpent, so that he would be separated from Jacob, and thus share nothing with him in this world or in the World to Come. Thus we learn, "he who comes to kill you, hasten to kill him first." It is written, "in the womb he took his brother" (Hoshea 12:4), which means that he lowered him down by the heel. This is the meaning of, "and his hand took hold of Esau's heel" (Gen. 25:26), for he put his hands on the heel to subjugate him.

And what is "the land"? As you say 'I was knit together in the depths of the earth' (Ps. 139:15). And this is the explanation: 'let the earth' it is obvious, behold, from the earth all types of living things come from, as we explain, this is the spirit of the First Human, as it is written, "and from the fruit of the tree inside the garden" (Gen. 3:3). 'And from the fruit of the tree' this is the Holy Blessed One, 'that is inside the garden' that is inside the woman, we teach, this is why "a woman, when she gives seed, and bears a male" (Lev. 12:2) is written. And does not include male and female, according to the ways of the world, that we made happen in the world, that they do not join together, as they come out from above in pairs.

However, these special men who are called by name, who are the foundations of every generation in the generality of the stature of emanation, are: Adam, Noah, Shem, Ḥokhmah, Binah, Da’at; Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ḥesed, Paḥad,³Cf. Gen. 31:42. Tiferet; Moses, Aaron, Pinḥas, and David, Neẓaḥ, Hod, Yesod, Malkhut. All of them [partake] of the roots of the souls which pertain to the complete Adam in the wings of the Shekhinah, mother of all living [cf. Gen. 3:20]. From this [source stem] kings, righteous men, seers, prophets, men of truth, heroes, pious men, understanding men, wise men, the heads of the thousands of Israel.

Come and behold, It is written, "And I will put enmity between you and the woman..." (Gen. 3:15). What is enmity (Heb. אֵיבָה)? It is as written, "They pass away with swift (Heb. אֵבֶה) ships" (Iyov 9:26), for among the ships sailing in the great sea, some, called enemy ships, are the ships of the serpent sailing amongst them.

The first awe in the Torah is when the First Human sinned "I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid" (Gen. 3:10). The issue is that before his sin the Human was dressed in garments of light, and after his sin the upper light fled from him, and he realized and dressed garments of skin, and this is the fear - he was afraid because he saw that the was naked from the upper light. And so every person needs to have this aspect of awe, so one will not make, through one's sins, that the light of the Shechinah separates from him/her, since it is through dealing with Torah and mitzvah that a person allures the light of the Shechinah on him/her, and if God forbid one sins, it separates from that person, and they become naked. And this is another aspect in the issue of fear of sin besides what I explained.

For that reason Jacob behaved with cunning and guile, and brought blessings on Jacob, who resembled Adam, that were taken from the serpent of the lying lips, who talked and acted deceitfully, in order to incite and bring curses upon the world. For that reason, Jacob behaved with cunning and misled his father, so as to bring blessings upon the world and snatch from the serpent what he withheld from the world. This was measure for measure, of which it is written, "For he loved cursing, and it came to him, and he delighted not in blessings, and it was far from him" (Tehilim 109:17). About him, the verse reads, "you are cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field" (Beresheet 3:14). He stayed accursed forever more, and Jacob came and took the blessings from him.

Come and behold, Of the time when the serpent brought curses upon the world, and the land was accursed, it is written, "And to the man he said, Because you have hearkened to the voice of your wife...cursed is the ground for your sake" (Beresheet 3:17), for it will not produce fruit nor vegetation in a proper measure. Correspondingly, "...and the fatness of the earth", "in sorrow shall you eat of it" (Ibid.). "of the dew of heaven"; "thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to you,"He was blessed accordingly with "plenty of corn and wine." In opposition to, "in the sweat of your face shall you eat bread."; "let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you," as they will cultivate the land and till the field, as it is written, "and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers" (Isaiah 61:5). Jacob took it all measure for measure, and of his own he took. The Holy One, blessed be He, caused Jacob to receive these blessings and cleave to his place and portion, while Esau cleaved to his own place and portion.

And "a wind" means slaughtering by the sword. Because the tempest storm is a flaming, sharp sword that burns within it. As it is written, "and the bright blade of a revolving sword" (Gen. 3:24). And it is also called a wind. So this is the punishment for whoever transgresses the precepts of the Torah. Because it appears after fear that is called Beginning and includes everything. From here onward, come the rest of the precepts of the Torah.

Eve meddled with these letters and brought evil to the world. As it is written, "And when the woman saw that...was good" (Heb. וַתֵּרֶא) (Genesis 3:6), she turned the letters of Me'orot backwards, that is she removed the letters of וַתֵּרֶא from there, leaving only the letters Mem and Vav. And they went along and took the letter Tav with them, (death). This is how she brought death upon the world, as the scriptures inform us. "וַתֵּרֶא..." (Genesis 3:6).

61 For it is true, that mankind could have be worthy in their actions, and recognize the truth, and abandon the ways of falsehood of this world in a desire to come close to their creator; and this would be with them knowing and understanding already that everything which is the opposite of the way that haShem commanded is nothing other than derived from a type of negativity that the Heavenly Will wanted, and created through the concealment of his goodness. And therefore they will be disgusted by this deceit of their eyes, and they will choose the hidden light - the light of the countenance of the living King. And if they were to do so, behold His blessed Singularity would be revealed to them through themselves, and they they would find the hastening for themselves of the salvation; and the Holy One Blessed is He would not need to show them the difficult path of exile and its length, for because the truth became clear to them from their own intention - this is enough, and when it becomes clear - it will become clear. For once they already saw the negative and recognized it, and abandoned it and attached themselves to the truth of his singularity - they have done that which is needed, for all the intent is only that the truth of this matter be known to them, in order that from there and onward they act with the truth that was revealed to the, if os then when it is revealed - it is revealed:

62 Will you not see - this occurred to the first man himself , and understand well this matter. For if the Holy One blessed is hear had created the world only from the side of good without a side of negative at all, then thought could not have described negative at all, in order to understand the singularity in His perfection, as we explained early. But since he already created the negative, then certainly thought could describe it, and to recognize from its power the Singularity in truth. And indeed, tbe first man had already seen negativity, for was it not the tree of knowledge of good and negative that the Holy One blessed is he had forbidden to him, and even so his eyes caused him to err to contemplate this as desirous to the eyes, and and good for food, and pleasant to study like the words of the text (Genesis 3:6), "And the woman saw...". And you find, that she saw immediately that there was room to for error G-d forbid, and to say either there are two domains G-d forbid, or all the other bad ideas that were placed before them by the snake:

133 And now you will see the revolving of the world, and the difference between those who lived earlier and those who live later, for in truth, one who sets upon their heart the matter which G-d gave to be answered, will be quite amazed by the desire for man to see it running to and fro, day and night without rest, fatigued and tired. And for what are they working - for food and drink, for vanities of vanities which are nothing, for a world of emptiness of the darkness, here today and in the grave tomorrow. But one who is fortunate to see, sees and understands that not for this was man created, rather it would be appropriate that his occupation be only with the grasping of the glory of his master, for it was for this that he was created, and he was given a great deal of knowledge and wisdom, and not to multiply business dealings, or any other immaterial maters. But it is man who spoiled his actions, and caused these for himself today. And in every generation the world is deficient and continues in this matter. For the early ones were closer to the wisdom, and directed towards the intellect, and the later ones are more distant from the intellect and submerged in physical matters and ordinary nature, in business and all works of art, where afterwards man has nothing as we explained earlier. And all this is possible as we said, because the body was created by the singular master may He be blessed through hiding of His countenance, and not through illumination of his countenance, therefore his existence is dark and murky; which is not the case for the soul, for it is just the opposite, created through illumination of his countenance and a view towards the good, therefore it exists and is eternal, and its creation is pure. And indeed, if man strengthened his body and it dominates him, the master may His name be blessed, will measure him in the character with which he measures - to interact with him only through hiding of his countenance. And from this we find that he will be very far from the light of life, from wisdom and knowledge, and submerged in filthy material rubbish and the vanities of this world:

134 And you will see that this is what happened to man from the beginning, and to his progeny afterward to this day; for when it was that they followed their eyes and the body rules and not the soul, therefore the Holy One blessed is He also went with them in hiding of his countenance. And to Adam was said from the beginning "...by the sweat of your brow shall you eat bread" (Genesis 3:9), and from then and onward "all of the work of man is for his mouth, and also the soul shall not be filled" (Ecclesiastes 6:7). And behold wisdom became excluded and was removed from mankind:

[The Holy One wanted to create the human] like the form of His image/d’yoqna, without nakedness and without rupture or division, as it said: “Let us make a human in our image as our likeness”, to have all the Sefirot included in him . . . and to unite Son and Daughter (Tif ’eret and Malkhut), who are siblings.
