Kabbalah su Giobbe 10:11

As known, the physical body of man is not his actual identity. This is merely called human flesh, as in the verse⁴Job 10:11, “You clothed me with skin and flesh and covered me with bones and veins.” Furthermore, it is written⁵Exodus 30:32, “It may not be applied to the flesh of man etc.” From this we understand that man is the inner aspect, whereas, the body is similar to a garment. The intellectual soul, which is his true identity, is invested in the body as long as a person remains in this physical world. However, upon death, he is divested of this garment. Rather, he becomes clothed in a spiritual, rarified and pure garment. This is as scripture states⁶Zechariah 3:4, “Remove the soiled garments from upon him”; and he said to him, “Behold, I have removed your iniquity from upon you and dressed you in a pure garment.” This garment is called, “The Vestment of the Rabbis”.

Every spirit is called man, which means that only the aspect of the light of the spirit that is enclothed within the body is called man. So the body of the spirit of the holy side is only a garment; in other words, the spirit is the actual essence of man and the body is only its covering. But on the Other Side, the opposite applies. This is why it is written: "You have clothed me with skin and flesh..." (Iyov 10:11). The flesh of man is only a garment covering the essence of man, which is the spirit. Wherever it is written the flesh of man, it hints that the essence of man is inside. The flesh is only a vestment for man, a body for him, but the essence of man is the aspect of his spirit.

That light is the light that the Holy One, blessed be He, created on the first day. (But later He) concealed it for the righteous alone. That darkness was created on the first day for the wicked. It is written: "And the wicked shall be silent in darkness" (I Samuel 2:9). On account of that darkness, which was destined to cause that light (in the soul of man) to sin, Aba did not wish to partake in his creation. Therefore, (Ima) said, "Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness." The words "in our image", in that light; "after our likeness" in that darkness, which is a garment for the light. Just as the body is a garment for the soul, as it is written: "You have clothed me with skin and flesh" (Job 10:11). They all rejoiced and said: How happy is our lot that we had the privilege to hear words that were not to be heard until now.
