레위기 3:9 카발라: Sha'arei Orah

Therefore, contemplate the wonders hinted in Sefer Yetzirah, that counsel-Eitzah-עצה concludes in the kidneys-Klayot-כליות.²¹⁵Sefer Yetzirah 5:4 – The two kidneys-Klayot-כליות are the Sefirot of victory-Netzach and majesty-Hod (which represent the gut emotions). (See the commentaries there.) The verse likewise states,²¹⁶Leviticus 3:9 (Also see Rashi, “The kidneys give counsel-Yo’atzot-יועצות.”) “He shall remove it above the kidneys-He’atzeh-העצה,” about which our sages, of blessed memory, stated,²¹⁷Talmud Bavli, Chullin 11a “This refers to the place of the kidneys where the counsel-Eitzah-העצה is reached.” Therefore, contemplate that all sentences that are decreed in the Upper Court of Judgement (Beit Din Shel Ma’alah), begin to take counsel in understanding-Binah, and the counsel-Eitzah-עצה culminates and concludes in victory-Netzach and majesty-Hod, which are the matter of HaShem of Hosts-HaShem Tzva’ot-יהו״ה צבאו״ת. However, even though the sentence may have already been concluded and decreed, nevertheless, the quality called Who-Mee-מי, called repentance-Teshuvah-תשובה, can overturn and nullify the decree. The verse thus states,²¹⁸Isaiah 14:27 “HaShem of Hosts-HaShem Tzva’ot-יהו״ה צבאו״ת has given counsel-Ya’atz-יעץ, who-Mee-מי can annul it [as a positive statement].” Those who knew these secrets and had the proper intentions in their prayers, would nullify all harsh and bad decrees. For, they had the keys of the received knowledge (Kabbalah) in their hands, and could enter the place that was necessary for this.
