신명기 3:24 카발라: Zohar & Sha'arei Orah

When Yod departs from Wav-Daleth through the sins of the world, the nakedness of all is found, on this it is written (Leviticus 18:7) "the nakedness of your father [...] you shall not reveal". And when Yod-Wav-Daleth departs from He-Aleph, on this it is written "the nakedness of your mother you shall not reveal, she is your mother, you shall not reveal her nakedness". Your mother she is for sure, (Proverbs 2:3) "because you will call Understanding (Bina) "mother" (אם) etc".

Now, as has been mentioned, there also is the title God-Elohi”m-אלהי״ם as the matter of might-Gevurah and judgment-Din, as our sages, of blessed memory, stated,⁵See Midrash Bereishit Rabba 12:15 “At first He began creating His world with the quality of judgment-Din, as it says,⁶Genesis 1:1 ‘In the beginning God-Elohi”m-אלהי״ם created.’ Seeing that it could not endure, He added the quality of mercy-Rachamim, as it says,⁷Genesis 2:4 ‘on the day that HaShem God-HaShem Elohi”m-יהו״ה אלהי״ם made earth and heaven.’” All this is true, well established, and correct. However, come and see wondrously great matters. The verse states,⁸Isaiah 40:26 “Raise your eyes on high and see Who-Mee-מי created these-Eileh-אלה.” Certainly, that which is called Who-Mee-מי created These-Eileh-אלה. This refers to the mystery of “day one-Yom Echad-יום אחד,”⁹Genesis 1:5 which is the matter of understanding-Binah. From it, until the day of Shabbat, there were six days in which the heavens and the earth and all therein were made. Now, in truth, the word Who-Mee-מי is above,¹⁰The Sefirah of understanding-Binah. and the word Sea-Yam-ים is below.¹¹The Sefirah of kingship-Malchut. Now, Who-Mee-מי created, this being the beginning of the manifestation of the name God-Elohi”m-אלהי״ם within the secret of the Name HaShem-יהו״ה. That is, in its written form this quality is the name HaShem-יהו״ה, but in the secret of HaShem-יהו"ה it is vowelized and pronounced as God-Elohi”m-אלהי״ם .¹²That is, the title Lord-Adonay-אדנ״י refers to the Sefirah of kingship-Malchut, which is below. In Torah, when the Name HaShem-יהו״ה is juxtaposed to the title Lord-Adonay-אדנ״י and follows it, such as (Deut. 3:24), “Lord HaShem-אדנ״י יהו״ה,” the Name HaShem-יהו"ה is pronounced Elohi”m-אלהי״ם,” in reference to the Sefirah of understanding-Binah. Thus, the name God-Elohi”m-אלהי״ם is hidden in the vowelization of the written Name HaShem-יהו״ה. These two names HaShem-יהו״ה and God-Elohi”m-אלהי״ם are thus found as one. Both are the mystery of Who-Mee-מי-50, as hinted in the verse,¹³Ecclesiastes 1:7 “All-Kol-כל-50 rivers flow into the sea-Yam-ים-50.” From this quality called Who-Mi-מי, which is the matter of the manifestation of God-Elohi”m-אלהי״ם within the Name HaShem-יהו״ה, the quality of might-Gevurah inherited judgment-Din and fear-Pachad. This quality of might-Gevurah is the actual name God-Elohi”m-אלהי״ם.¹⁴That is, both in its written form and in its pronunciation the quality of might-Gevurah-גבורה is called Elohi”m-אלהי״ם. With these two, the quality called Lord-Adona”y-אדנ״י inherited the title God-Elohi”m-אלהי״ם and donned its garments, and the world was then created through the matter of HaShem Lord-HaShem Adona”y-יהו״ה אדנ״י (pronounced Elohi”m Adona”y-אלהי"ם אדנ"י).

In contrast, when His title of Lordship-Adona”y-אדנ״י is mentioned first, and then followed by HaShem-יהו״ה, such as the verse,⁴⁶Genesis 15:2 “Adona”y HaShem-אדנ״י יהו״ה: What can You give me,” and similarly,⁴⁷Deuteronomy 3:23 “Adona”y HaShem-אדנ״י יהו״ה, You have begun to show Your servant,” or,⁴⁸Deuteronomy 9:26 “Adona”y HaShem-אדנ״י יהו״ה, do not destroy Your people,” and the like, [all of which are pronounced Adona”y Elohi”m-אדנ"י אלהי"ם] then you should know and have faith that this indicates the matter of ascent from below to Above. That is, know that when you see the names mentioned in the order of Adona”y HaShem-אדנ״י יהו״ה [pronounced Adona”y Elohi”m-אדנ"י אלהי"ם] this refers to the matter of the ascent of the Sefirot and their unification with one another, until the intention ascends to the desirable place, like one who desires to take hold of and adhere to the place of the Supernal Light. For, the name of Lordship-Adona”y-אדנ״י yearns to ascend and take hold of the Sefirah of understanding-Binah, which is called HaShem-יהו״ה with the vowels of Elohi”m-אלהי״ם. However, when HaShem Adona”y-יהו״ה אדנ״י is written [pronounced Elohi”m Adona”y-אלהי"ם אדנ"י] it then is the matter of bestowal of understanding-Binah, which descends by way of the conduits and reaches His title of Lordship-Adona”y-אדנ״י, and then the whole world is blessed.
