Wyjścia 10:3 Kabała: Reshit Chokhmah

וַיָּבֹ֨א מֹשֶׁ֣ה וְאַהֲרֹן֮ אֶל־פַּרְעֹה֒ וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ אֵלָ֗יו כֹּֽה־אָמַ֤ר יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י הָֽעִבְרִ֔ים עַד־מָתַ֣י מֵאַ֔נְתָּ לֵעָנֹ֖ת מִפָּנָ֑י שַׁלַּ֥ח עַמִּ֖י וְיַֽעַבְדֻֽנִי׃

I weszli Mojżesz i Ahron do Faraona, i rzekli doń: "Tak rzecze Wiekuisty, Bóg Ibrejczyków: dopókiż nie zechcesz się ukorzyć przedemną? Uwolnij lud Mój, aby Mi służyli. 

Reshit Chokhmah

The Explanation of the Word 'Anava' (Humility) and its Qualities: To explain humility, we refer to one who is 'Ani' (poor) and 'Inui' (tortured) in a way that he is surrendered. It is the concept of being poor and dependant [meaning, he will accept anything that comes his way]. So too (as in Parshat Shemot 10:3), "מאנת לענות מפני," from the Targaminan, "לאתכנעא." So too, this applies to a poor person and one who is fasting, as it says, "וכי התענית בכל אשר התענה אבי," and from this we can take that in all of these, the intention of them is the level of surrender.
