레위기 16:29 카발라: Sha'arei Orah

Since the reason of mitzvot that are called Decrees-Chukim-חוקים is very deep, they therefore are in a way of an engraving-Chakikah-חקיקה. This then, is the meaning of the words,²²⁴Leviticus 19:19 “You shall keep My decrees-Chukotai-חוקותי.” We likewise find this about the Passover of Egypt,²²⁵Exodus 12:22 “You shall take a cluster of hyssops, dip it in the blood that is in the basin and daub the lintel etc.” It then says,²²⁶Ibid 12:24 “You shall keep this as a decree-Chok-חק for yourself and your children etc.” The same applies to crossbreeding and the wearing of Shaatnez, about which it says,²²⁷Leviticus 19:19 “Do not crossbreed your animals, nor plant your field with an admixture of seed, and no garment containing an admixture of fibers (Shaatnez) may be worn on you.” Likewise, about the he-goat that is sent [to the desert on Yom Kippur] it says,²²⁸Leviticus 16:29 “It shall be for you an everlasting decree-Chukat Olam-חוקת עולם.” The same applies to the red heifer, as it states,²²⁹Numbers 19:2 “This is the decree-Chukat-חקת of the Torah that HaShem-יהו"ה commanded etc.”
