시편 27:3 카발라: Sha'arei Orah

Now, it is this Divine quality that stands and guards over the Jewish people in their times of trouble, about which it states,²⁵⁹Psalms 27:3 “Though an army would besiege me, my heart would not fear; though war would arise against me, in this-Zot-זאת I trust.” She resides with the Jewish people in exile and comforts their hearts, and it is about her that the verse states,²⁶⁰Psalms 119:50 “This-Zot-זאת is my comfort in my affliction.” It is she who binds the stature of the Supernal Chariot, and it is about her that it states,²⁶¹Song of Songs 7:8 “This-Zot-זאת is your stature, likened to a towering palm.” It is through this quality that the Jewish people merited receiving the Written Torah, through the Oral Torah, and it is about her that it states,²⁶²Numbers 19:14; Also see Talmud Bavli, Brachot 63b – “Reish Lakish said: From where is it derived that matters of Torah are only retained by one who kills himself over it? As it states, ‘This is the Torah, when a man dies in a tent.’” “This-Zot-זאת is the Torah, when a man dies in the tent.” It is through her that we enter into the explanation of the Written Torah, since This-Zot-זאת is the mystery of The Oral Torah-Torah SheBa’al Peh-תורה שבעל פה.²⁶³See story of Hillel and Shammai (Talmud Bavli, Shabbat 31a-b) It is through this Divine quality that the Jewish people merited to inherit the land-Aretz-ארץ, since it is the quality that dwells in the land-Aretz-ארץ.
