Thus, wherever in Torah you find the term Chok-חוק, it is a matter of the limitation of all things and their measure. This also applies to the verse,212Genesis 47:22 “And they ate their measure-Chukam-חקם that Pharoah granted them,” or the verse,213Proverbs 30:8 “Sustain me with my [daily] measure-Chok-חק of bread.” Since all creatures to their kind and boundaries were engraved-Nichkeku-נחקקו by these two Sefirot, HaShem-יהו"ה, blessed is He, placed them in His Torah with known signs, that is, with the term Chok-חוק (masculine) and with the term Chukah-חוקה (feminine). Wherever you come upon the term Chok-חוק it refers to HaShem’s-יהו"ה quality as the Living God-El Chai-א"ל חי. It therefore is the decisor that mediates between them, which is, the third verse. This is as stated in Sefer Yetzirah,214Sefer Yetzirah 2:4 “The tongue is the Decisor-Chok-חוק that mediates between them.” This is because the tongue is set between all the limbs of the body. It therefore is called Chok-חוק, in that HaShem’s-יהו"ה quality as the Living God-El Chai-א"ל חי is called the Decisor-Chok-חוק.
