민수기 6:12의 Quotation
וְהִזִּ֤יר לַֽיהוָה֙ אֶת־יְמֵ֣י נִזְר֔וֹ וְהֵבִ֛יא כֶּ֥בֶשׂ בֶּן־שְׁנָת֖וֹ לְאָשָׁ֑ם וְהַיָּמִ֤ים הָרִאשֹׁנִים֙ יִפְּל֔וּ כִּ֥י טָמֵ֖א נִזְרֽוֹ׃
자기 몸을 구별하여 여호와께 드릴 날을 새로 정하고 일 년 된 수양을 가져다가 속건제로 드릴지니라 자기 몸을 구별한 때에 그 몸을 더렵혔은즉 지나간 날은 무효니라
Pri HaAretz
In this manner we refer to this as "Redemption" and "The Building of the Holy Temple in his Days", for "days" are the "attributes" as is known, and presently we redeem this attribute from the harsh servitude of the Inclination. And so long as there is no redemption, his Inclination will continue to attack him, and it will make no difference whether one, two or a hundred such instances. And if, God forbid, his sins trap him even one in ten or in one hundred of the instances, in any case the "previous period shall be void". Meaning that all which he overcame against the Inclination with the 'Hidden Mind' and 'Holy Spirit' up until that instance, all of it enters the Kelipah upon that instance, and he does not remain fortified by the original thought and effort with which prior he [successfully] stood against the Inclination with that very perseverance and divine guidance. For now, after knowing its greatness and ingenuity, and bringing upon himself the governance of the Inclination and heeding it, those (divine guidance and effort) holy sparks now also enters the Kelipah; for how could a rejuvenating remedy be extracted out of that very same guidance itself. As the Sage of blessed memory say "every generation for whom the Temple is not built in their days, its as if it is destroyed in their days", and the meaning of the unbuilt Temple is as explained above, for since it was not built (fully) and the Inclination toppled it, it is in any case destroyed - that the sparks of holiness have entered the Kelipah; meaning to say - in the Inclination's overcoming of the holy lifeforce which rested on him yesterday and the day before that in order to save them (the sparks) from it.
