Kabbalah su Isaia 60:78

"These are the generations of Noah..." (Gen. 6:9). Rabbi Chiya opened the discussion with the verses: "Your people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land forever; they shall be the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, that I may be glorified" (Isaiah 60:21). Happy are Yisrael, who occupy themselves with the Torah and are familiar with its paths, through which they will merit the World to Come.

"And I have also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan" (Shemot 6:4). This is because they were circumcised. For all who are circumcised inherit the land. The Torah says, "To give them the land of Canaan." For the land is inherited only by a righteous person and everyone who is circumcised is called righteous, as is written, "Your people also shall be all righteous, they shall inherit the land forever" (Isaiah 60:21). Everyone who is circumcised and observes the sign of the covenant is called righteous. Come and learn this from Joseph, who was not called righteous in his life until he observed that covenant, the sign of the holy covenant. Once he observed it, he was called righteous, namely, Joseph the righteous.

When your nation are all righteous, they will inherit the land forever (Isa. 60:21).

For from the quarrelsome words of the immature grain, a thorn has spread among the brethren and rebellion like the sin of witchcraft (I Sam. 15:23). When the time comes she raises her wings on high (Job 39:18). God know the days of the perfect (Ps. 37:18) and the way of the righteous (Ps. 1:6), and raises up from the dust (Ps. 113:7) and the far distant sea (Ps. 65:6) all the souls of the house of Jacob (Gen. 46:27). They all eagerly desire to hear the word of God and the ancient records (I Chron. 4:22). However, [until] now they have not seen the clear light of [Him who dwells] in the skies. For from the top of the Rocks I see Him (Num. 23:9), and among those who turn the many to righteousness (Dan. 12:3) I behold Him. Grace is poured upon their lips (Ps. 45:3) like roses (Song 5:13). Their waters are more sure than the garden spring, a well of living waters (Song 4:15). Like doves [going] to their cotes (Isa. 60:8) they have drunk spices. They call to God, and He answers them (Ps. 99:6). This one says, I am the Lord’s (Isa. 44:5), answer me with broad spaces (Ps. 118:5), for my heart does not rest at night (Eccles. 2;23), nor does my spirit within me (Isa. 26:9). This one writes with his hand to the Lord (Isa. 44:5) from that which had preceded him [at] Sinai, and on the skins of kid goats (Gen. 27:16) they set up their signs (Ps. 74:4) which they wrote to instruct them for their generations, an eternal covenant (Exod. 31:16).

The nefesh comes at the beginning, and after it the ruach, and after it the neshamah, and chayah and yechidah after them. All souls [neshamah] have a cloak. The nefesh reincarnates by herself, and the ruach by herself, and the neshamah by herself. And souls [neshamot] ride the cloaks of others. The souls are not all equal, since the new ones are not like the old ones, and the ones that reincarnate for the first time and not like the ones which experienced reincarnation twice, and on all He says: "And they are turned round about by His guidance, that they may do" (Job 37:12). And He says: "and let Him devise means, that he that is banished be not an outcast from Him" (II Samuel 14:14). And He says: "Every one that is called by My name, and whom I have created for My glory, I have formed him, yea, I have made him." (Isaiah 43:7). And He says: "Hashem will reign forever" (Exodus 15:18). And He says: "And all your people are righteous, they shall inherit the land for ever; the branch of My planting, the work(s) of My hands, wherein I glory" (Isaiah 60:21).

It also says in the Zohar (Noach verse 207): 207. So it is clear by now that the sins of the wicked caused the Shechinah to depart. One of those sins is the sin of man corrupting his way upon the earth, as we have previously explained. Such a person shall not see the face of the Shechinah, nor shall he enter the palace OF THE KING. This is why it is written that “they were destroyed from the earth,” destroyed completely. 208. Come and behold: When the time comes and the Holy One, blessed be He, resurrects the dead, He shall make all the dead in countries other than THE LAND OF YISRAEL rise and stand in their bodies, for one bone is left from the human body as it lies underground, and it is like a lump of dough from which the Holy One, blessed be He, shall rebuild the whole body. 209. But He shall not restore their souls to them until they are in the land of Yisrael, as it is stated: “Behold I will open your graves and cause you to come up out of your graves, My people, and I will bring you into the land of Yisrael.” They will roll through underground passages AND COME TO THE LAND OF YISRAEL. Next, it is written: “I will put My spirit in you and you shall live” (Yechezkel 37:12-14). Only in the land of Yisrael will they receive their souls, except those who have defiled themselves and the land, NAMELY THE GENERATION OF THE FLOOD. As for them, it has been declared, “They were destroyed from the earth.” From the earth MEANS PRECISELY THAT THEY SHALL NOT RISE DURING THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD AND SHALL NOT COME TO THE LAND OF YISRAEL TO RECEIVE THEIR SOULS. Although some of the ancient sages differ in their opinion, CLAIMING THAT THEY SHALL BE RESURRECTED, WHAT HAS BEEN SAID STANDS. FOR the term “destroyed” is similar to the expression: “Let them be blotted out of the book of the living” (Tehilim 69:28), MEANING THAT THEY SHALL NEVER BE RESURRECTED. 210. Rabbi Shimon said to him: Undoubtedly, THE GENERATION OF THE FLOOD will have no share in the World to Come, as it is written: “They were destroyed from the earth.” Analogously, it is written: “they shall inherit the land (earth) forever” (Yeshayah 60:21). AND WE LEARN THAT THE WORD “EARTH” HAS THE SAME MEANING IN BOTH SENTENCES. Nevertheless, they shall rise and stand for Judgment. As they are described: “and many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt” (Daniel 12:2). Even though opinions differ on this matter, everything is as the friends have explained.

194. We learned that Rabbi Yehuda said: There is no sin in the world for that one cannot repent other than the one OF SPILLING ONE’S SEMEN IN VAIN. There are no wicked men who shall not behold the face of the Shechinah IN THEIR DEATH, like this man of whom it says “nor shall evil dwell with You” at all. Rabbi Yitzchak said: Happy are the righteous in this world and in the World to Come, of whom scripture says, “Your people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever” (Yeshayah 60:21). Rabbi Yehuda said: It is also said in “I will walk before Hashem in the land of the living” (Tehilim 116:9), WHICH IS THE SHECHINAH, CALLED LAND; THE LAND HERE ALLUDES TO THE SHECHINAH.

And as the Zohar in Shlach Lecha says regarding the advice of the Evil Inclination: 66. What did these faithful say? “If Hashem delights in us...and give it us” (Bemidbar 14:8), MEANING THAT if a person strives with a willing heart for the Holy One, blessed be He, HE WILL MERIT HER, since He only wants his heart. And they will preserve that Holy Sign, THAT IS THE HOLY COVENANT, as is written: “Your people also shall be righteous: they shall inherit the land forever” (Yeshayah 60:21), MEANING THOSE WHO PRESERVE THE COVENANT, WHO ARE CALLED RIGHTEOUS.

Blessed is the portion of the righteous, of whom it is written, “but he that is of a faithful spirit conceals the matter” (Mishlei 11:13). “A faithful spirit” surely, for their spirit is pulled from a lofty sacred place, that is, from the central column, which is why they are considered as having “a faithful spirit.” We have explained this sign. Whoever reveals secrets is known to have a soul not from the body of the holy king, who is Zeir Anpin, that is, the central column. Thus, he has no secret, not coming from a place with secrets. When his soul leaves his body, it does not cleave to the king’s body, for it is not its place. Woe to that person, woe to his soul. Blessed is the portion of the righteous who conceal secrets, more so the highest secrets of the Holy One, blessed be He. It is written of them, “Your people also shall be all righteous; they shall inherit the land forever” (Yeshayahu 60:21).
