Musar su Salmi 119:85

כָּֽרוּ־לִ֣י זֵדִ֣ים שִׁיח֑וֹת אֲ֝שֶׁ֗ר לֹ֣א כְתוֹרָתֶֽךָ׃

Gli orgogliosi hanno scavato pozzi per me, che non è secondo la tua legge.

Kav HaYashar

I have received additional esoteric insights from the saintly Rabbi Heshel but I am reluctant to reveal them to anyone but the circumspect. You must know that there is an allusion to the word tzafon [north] — which is equal to the combined values of Polin [פולין=176] and Lita ליטא=50] — in the verse, “They dug [כרו, the value of which is also 226] pits for me” (Tehillim 119:85). This indicates that that our enemies attacked us with false accusations in order to murder the righteous. It is well known from the sources (Shocher Tov 120; Midrash Shmuel 16) that the impure husk of Eisav is called a “boar of the forest” (Tehillim 80:14). In the book of Tehillim the letter ayin [the value of which is 70] of the word ya’ar — “forest” — is written in large to indicate that all the seventy nations are subservient to Eisav. This is the same ayin that appears in the name of Eisav [עשו]. It indicates at the “tunics of leather [ohr with an ayin]” that replaced the “tunics of light [or with an alef]” that Adam and Chavah wore before they sinned, as is known to the Kabbalists (Eitz Chayim, Sha’ar 49, Chapter 4; Sefer HaLikkutim, 6a). Therefore in the future when the sin is rectified those tunics will go back to being “tunics of light,” as they were before Adam’s sin.
