Kabbalah do Wyjścia 30:78

Shaarei Kedusha

As known, the physical body of man is not his actual identity. This is merely called human flesh, as in the verse4Job 10:11, “You clothed me with skin and flesh and covered me with bones and veins.” Furthermore, it is written5Exodus 30:32, “It may not be applied to the flesh of man etc.” From this we understand that man is the inner aspect, whereas, the body is similar to a garment. The intellectual soul, which is his true identity, is invested in the body as long as a person remains in this physical world. However, upon death, he is divested of this garment. Rather, he becomes clothed in a spiritual, rarified and pure garment. This is as scripture states6Zechariah 3:4, “Remove the soiled garments from upon him”; and he said to him, “Behold, I have removed your iniquity from upon you and dressed you in a pure garment.” This garment is called, “The Vestment of the Rabbis”.

Zohar

That boy opened and said: "When they come to the Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with water and they will not die, and so on" (Exodus 30:20). We learn from this verse, that one who does not concern oneself with this, and appears before the king with filthy hands, is liable for death. What is the reason? Because the hands of a person sit at the height of the world. There is one finger on the hand of a person, and that is the finger that Moses lifted.

Zohar

And in this way, this YUD, sometimes is under Him and sometimes is on His head, and sometimes is in the middle. On the head of AD-NAI: "the stone that was rejected by the builders became the head stone" (Ps. 118:22). And this is "to raise the eternal light" (Lev. 24:2), which is the YUD over HEY VAV HEY from the side of the Menorah. In the middle, the half SHekel, as it is written "this they shall give" (Ex. 30:13), in the way of HavaYah. At the end, in the Mishkan, in the way of HEY VAV HEY YUD. "Five cubits high" on the side of the Upper Hey, and "five cubits long" on the side of the Lower Hey. And "a cubit" - this is the vav. "And half a cubit": the Yud. And all is hinted by the vav.
