이사야 42:21의 Kabbalah
יְהוָ֥ה חָפֵ֖ץ לְמַ֣עַן צִדְק֑וֹ יַגְדִּ֥יל תּוֹרָ֖ה וְיַאְדִּֽיר׃
여호와께서 자기의 의로우심을 인하여 기쁨으로 그 교훈을 크게 하며 존귀케 하려 하셨으나
Petichah LeChokhmat HaKabbalah
The Talmud states:1Makkot 23b. “Rabbi Ḥananya ben Akashya says: The Holy One, blessed be He, wanted to confer merit upon the Jewish people. Therefore, He increased for them Torah and commandments, as the verse states, ‘It pleased the Lord for the sake of His righteousness to make the Torah great and glorious.’”2Isaiah 42:21. It is known that the word for merit, zekhut, connotes hizdakekhut, purification, and this aligns with the Sages’ statement that the commandments of the Torah were given only in order to refine the Jewish people through them.3Bereshit Rabba 44:1. This purification that we attain by means of the Torah and commandments needs to be understood. What opacity (ovyut) is there in us that we must purify it through the Torah and commandments?
