잠언 27:9의 차시두트

And this is of the aspect of incense, which connects the heating of the heart with the spirit, and this is (Proverbs 27) Incense will gladden the heart” and this is (Deuteronomy 33) “They will put incense in your brow,” that through the aspect of incense as we have mentioned, the aspect of “By the sweat of your brow you will eat bread” will be nullified.

And in the Midrash: "Oil and incense gladden the heart" (Proverbs 27:9). Oil – that is Aharon, who was anointed with anointing oil. Incense – that is the Jewish People, etc. As behold there is revealed impact and hidden impact. This is as I have written in Parashat Haazinu about the matter of rain: As rain is what gives the power of growth to vegetative matter. And rain (matar) is the acronym of, appearance, taste and smell (mareh, taam, reiach) – it is very hidden, since each one [receives] according to that which is fit for it, as they said, “The etrog (citron) has taste and smell, the myrtle has smell without taste, etc.” And dew is [also] very hidden and extremely fine to the point that [when compared to] water, which is also nothing and is not held physically by the the hand; nevertheless, it is considered material in comparison to [dew]. For dew is the source of the production of water and is its fineness before it becomes materialized at all. Rather, it is only the source of the production of wetness. Hence it has in its nature the power to give an additional power of wetness to the ground. For dew is the source of the dampness which dampens the ground. But with rain, there is differentiation, in that it falls according to the merit of the generation and visa-versa; which is not the case with dew, as it never ceases, so there is no differentiation. So, behold the high priest – after he mentioned the ten names, as mentioned earlier – prayed, “If it is to be dry, let it be rainy.” And we have already written that the high priest brings down [bounty] from the source of the good, the source of impacts – it appears that he brings down this dampness from the source which is the dew that secretly falls, but its falling is not recognizable at all. Likewise, is the service of the priests secret, as I have written in the sermon for Channukah. And afterwards he brought down the aspect of dew to all ten of the statements – the aspect of the ten names that he mentioned. And ten times [the numerical equivalent of] dew (tal) is oil (shemen). He then brings down the impact through the three hundred and ninety (shatz) skies, as it is written in the holy Zohar (Shelach 290) that there are between the heavens and the earth. Hence the cantor is called shatz (the common acronym for shaliach tzibur), based on these skies that prayer pierces and goes above. And this is [the understanding] of that which is written in the Midrash, “Oil – that is Aharon” – as he pulled down ten times dew through the 290 skies, as mentioned earlier, from the aspect of the source. And he brought down all of it from the aspect of ‘fine oil on the head running down onto the beard.’ This is the aspect of the thirteen rectifications of the beard (tikunai dikna). And shemen (oil), in the at-bash [letter configuration scheme] is the name, Bit, the numerical equivalent of which is, ‘Eheyeh (I will be).’ This is from the aspect of, ‘I will favor whoever I will favor,’ in the future. It is, as I have written in another place – the aspect of ‘I will be’ is the source of impact, and it descends from there according to its traits like dew, as mentioned above. For rain has differentiation, which is not the case with dew; since the source of dew is very high, and hidden to the point that no differentiation can occur in it – if the world is fitting. “Incense – that is the Jewish People” – as through them, there is the connection of all of the traits and the unification of the names [of God], via their clinging to Him, may He be blessed. ‘And let them place incense before You, etc.’ – the acronym is the numerical equivalent of, ‘I will be,’ ‘I am’ and ‘the Master’ – which, when unified, brings the impact of kindnesses and mercies.
