Kapłańska 26:23 Kabała: Sha'arei Orah

Now, it is important that you know why the name Lord-Adona”y-אדני is called “I-Anee-אני,” the Name HaShem-יהו״ה is called “You-Atah-אתה,” and the name Eheye”h-אהי״ה is called “He-Hoo-הוא.” The reason His name Lord-Adona”y-אדנ״י is called “I-Anee-אני” – referring to the Ingathering of Israel-Knesset Yisroel-כנסת ישראל (Shechinah) – is because she always goes with them, warning them not to sin against the Name HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He, saying, “If you sin before Me, I-Anee-אני will punish you, I-Anee-אני will smite you, I-Anee-אני will avenge Myself against you.” This is as stated,⁵⁴⁴Leviticus 26:23 “If you behave with indifference toward Me, I-Anee-אני will behave with the fury of indifference toward you; I-Anee-אני will smite you etc.” Similarly, many other verses state,⁵⁴⁵Leviticus 19:14, 19:32, 25:17 “You shall fear your God – I am HaShem-Anee HaShem-אני יהו״ה.” The reason She says “I-Anee-אני,” even before we have approached Her,⁵⁴⁶That is, we have not approached by saying “You-Atah-אתה.” is because She is aware of the wickedness of our evil inclination, and therefore approaches us first, to warn us, “Be cautious in My Presence, for I-Anee-אני enliven and bring death, I-Anee-אני inflict and I-Anee-אני heal,” as it states,⁵⁴⁷Deuteronomy 32:39 “See now-Atah-עתה that I-Anee-אני, I-Anee-אני am He, and no god is with Me. I-Anee-אני put to death and I-Anee-אני bring to life, I-Anee-אני struck down and I-Anee-אני will heal.”
