מַ֣יִם קָ֭רִים עַל־נֶ֣פֶשׁ עֲיֵפָ֑ה וּשְׁמוּעָ֥ה ט֝וֹבָ֗ה מֵאֶ֥רֶץ מֶרְחָֽק׃
Como água fresca para o homem sedento, tais são as boas-novas de terra remota.

And good news from a distant land." (Proverbs 25:25) According to the Zohar, it is stated: "Jacob dwelled in the land." It is explained in the Zohar that initially, when a person is born, he possesses only an animalistic soul. However, when he conquers the evil inclination, he acquires a spiritual soul. In other words, the entire world of angels is under his dominion. When he merits, he is granted a soul from the world of the Throne, meaning that through his thoughts and intentions, he creates a throne for the Holy One, blessed be He. For example, when he contemplates with love, he forms a throne of love for the Creator. Similarly, when he contemplates with awe, he forms a throne of awe. It is necessary for a person not to cease his thoughts for even a moment from the Holy One. In this way, he establishes the Holy One, blessed be He, through them. Therefore, it is written in the Torah that he established the Holy One, blessed be He, upon them. This is the meaning of "And Jacob dwelled in the land." Even though he dwelled in the territories of his father's dwelling, it implies that he gathered them in summer, as the Holy One, blessed be He, gathers in His presence.
