Isaías 27:13 Cabalá: Sha'arei Orah

When HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He, will awaken this quality that transcends all the nations, their upper angelic ministers will all tremble and fall, and will have no place to stand, as it states,²³⁷Isaiah 24:21 “And it shall be that on that day, that HaShem-יהו"ה will deal with the hosts of the heavens in the heavens and with the kings of the earth on the earth.” Therefore,²³⁸Isaiah 27:13 “It shall be on that day that a Great Shofar-Shofar Gadol-שופר גדול will be sounded, and those who are lost in the land of Assyria and those who are cast away in the land of Egypt will come.” It similarly states,²³⁹Zachariah 9:14 “And the Lord HaShem-Adona”y HaShem-אדנ״י יהו״ה [pronounced Adona”y Elohi”m-אדנ"י אלהי"ם] will sound the Shofar-שופר, and go forth with a southern tempest,” and the next verse continues,²⁴⁰Zachariah 9:14 “HaShem, Master of Legions-HaShem Tzva’ot-יהו״ה צבאו״ת will protect them,” most certainly!

Now, what is written about the time that the Sefirot will return to a state of repair? “Those who are lost in the land of Assyria and those who are cast away in the land of Egypt shall come and prostrate to HaShem-יהו"ה on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.”²⁷⁷Isaiah 27:13 “On the holy mountain” refers to Mount Zion, and “in Jerusalem” refers to the capital of the Kingdom. Our sages hinted at the inner meaning of this; “Who are the lost? As it states, ‘The righteous-Tzaddik-צדיק is lost.’ And what did he lose? He lost righteousness-Tzedek-צדק.’” This is the meaning of, “the lost will come,” in that the righteous-Tzaddik-צדיק lost righteousness-Tzedek-צדק, and the righteousness-Tzedek-צדק lost the righteous-Tzaddik-צדיק. This then is the meaning of, “the lost will come.” The righteous-Tzaddik-צדיק and the righteousness-Tzedek-צדק are called, “the holy mountain in Jerusalem.” According to this principle our sages established the words in the Amidah prayer, “Who returns His Indwelling Presence (Shechinah) to Zion.” This is also the meaning of, “Blessed is he who returns a lost object to its owner.”
