에스겔 28:13 카발라: Sha'arei Orah

Now, contemplate that there is yet another verse which presents a difficulty. This is the verse,²⁵³Ezekiel 28:13 “You were in Eden-עדן, the Garden-Gan-גן of God-Elohi”m-אלהי״ם,” which seems to indicate that Eden-עדן is the Garden-Gan-גן. I shall therefore untie the bonds of doubt regarding this. Chiram-חירם, King of Tyre-Tzor-צור, ascended to the inception of thought-Machshavah-מחשבה, which is Eden-עדן, and is the grape-Anav-ענב. However, this matter is concealed in several things in creation, and relates to the verse,²⁵⁴Genesis 36:31 “These are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom.”²⁵⁵This refers to the eight kings of the world of Chaos (Tohu), the first seven about which the verse states, “He reigned and he died,” [which refers to the matter of the shattering of the vessels (Shevirat HaKeilim)] whereas about the eighth it does not say “he died.” That is, it is the eighth king of the world of Chaos (Tohu) who is the root of the repair of the shattering. See at greater length in Shaar HaYichud of Rabbi DovBer of Lubavitch, translated as The Gate of Unity, Ch. 20 and 46, and the notes and citations there. This is the secret of the verse, “You were in Eden-עדן, the Garden-Gan-גן of God-Elohi”m-אלהי״ם.” That is, when you arose in Thought-Machshavah-מחשבה, which is Eden-עדן, you came out by way of the roots of the plantings in the Garden-Gan-גן, and were affixed in the place that you were affixed. If you merit it, you shall hear awesome secrets of Kabbalah, given from mouth to mouth about this; matters that are the concealed depths of the world.
