Kabbalah su Giobbe 20:15

חַ֣יִל בָּ֭לַע וַיְקִאֶ֑נּוּ מִ֝בִּטְנ֗וֹ יוֹרִשֶׁ֥נּוּ אֵֽל׃

Ha inghiottito le ricchezze e le vomiterà di nuovo; Dio li scaccerà dal suo ventre.

He also said that it is as if he robbed from his father and mother.15I.e., Rabbi Hanina bar Papa in the passage from Berakhot 35b associates enjoying something from this world without a blessing with robbing one’s father and mother. For through the kavvanah16The mystical or theurgic intention that to contemplated when one uners the blessing. of the blessing recited when eating fruit, a person who eats rectifies the sparks of his own soul as well as the sparks that pertain to the souls of his parents. This is the esoteric meaning of, “I will make him disgorge what he has swallowed,”17Jer. 51:44. which is related to [the secret of the verse], “the riches he swallowed, he vomits, [God empties it out of his stomach],”18Job 20:15. So if one enjoys the fruit without a blessing, it is as if he robbed his parents of the divine sparks that pertain to their souls.19In the teaching cited from B. Berakhot 35b, the father is identified as the Blessed Holy One and the mother is the Community of Israel. Thus the kabbalistic meaning would seem to allude to sparks pertaining to Tiferet and Malkhut or to the partzufim, Ze’ir ‘Anpin and Nuqba.He is a comrade of the Destroyer.20Pro. 28:24 For the Destroyer’s only intention is to rob the divine sparks and to absorb them [in the realm of evil] and to [prevent them from] returning to [their source] in holiness. That is the esoteric meaning of “for a person does not live on bread alone, but on all that goes forth from the mouth of YHVH.”21Deut. 8:3. [All use of ‘Lord’ in Rabbi Krassen’s quotations of scripture, have been replaced with ‘YHVH’ unless they translate ‘ADoNaY‘. — Aharon Varady] This alludes to the secret of the blessing, which retrieves [the sparks] from impurity to holiness.22The blessing prevents the divine sparks in the food from being appropriated by the evil forces and recycles them to the forces of holiness. It is brought about through the “mouth of YHVH,” i.e., by means of the chewing of the thirty-two teeth which correspond to the thirty-two times that Elohim is mentioned in the Story of Creation,23The divine name Elohim appears thirty-two times in the first section of Genesis that details the stages of Creation. The thirty-two teeth which chew the food that has been blessed and return the divine sparks to holiness correspond to these thirty-two divine names. Thus they are alluded to by the ‘mouth of YHVH,’ mentioned in Deut. 8:3. as we have explained at length in the previous section concerning the tikkun of the meal.24This is not found in the previous chapter of Hemdat Yamim. Location of this tikkun would aid in identifying the source of Peri Eitz Hadar.

Pri Etz Hadar

And may all the holy sparks which were dispersed by us or by our ancestors and [also] through the sin that Adam committed with the fruit of the tree now return to be included in the splendid power of the Tree of Life. May all evil be removed from them through the power of Your great name which emerges from the verse, “the power that he swallows, he vomits out.76Job 20:15.
