Chasidut sobre Provérbios 8:14

לִֽי־עֵ֭צָה וְתוּשִׁיָּ֑ה אֲנִ֥י בִ֝ינָ֗ה לִ֣י גְבוּרָֽה׃

Meu é o conselho, e a verdadeira sabedoria; eu sou o entendimento; minha é a fortaleza.

Me'or Einayim

And behold, seven other cows etc. (Gen. 41:3), for the Evil Inclination comes to induce him to sin in the seven characteristics: to love the desire for money and other pleasures; to be in awe of punishment; to glorify himself; to triumph over his enemies; to praise himself; to be attached to all these things; and to take dominion for himself. And the cows swallowed etc. (cf. Gen. 41:4), for with all of the mitzvot he performs, he gives power to the Shell, God save us; and that is [the meaning of] swallowed, that is to say that the Shell swallows the Torah and the mitzvot. But no one would have known that they had eaten them etc. (Gen. 41:21), therefore when the person does teshuvah “His sins become good deeds” (Yoma 86b), meaning he extracts the good deeds that he performed from under the Shell’s hand. And Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream (Gen. 41:7), when a person awakes from a sleeping time and behold, it was a dream [halom], which suggests “He returned and healed [halim].” Based on this reason, we read the Torah portion in question on Hanukkah, because the Torah is advice as is written, I have advice [and sound wisdom; I am insight, I have strength] (Proverbs 8:14) – it advises a person how to serve God and to return to [God] (omitted)[*The notation נשמט ("omitted") appears in the Hebrew text in all editions.]. Therefore it is forbidden to use [the Hanukkah candles’] light, since a person can turn in no direction other than to God alone – not for the sake of this world and also not for the sake of the next world.
