Jó 37:22 Cabalá: Sha'arei Orah

However, when all those gifts and goodness come before HaShem’s-יהו"ה quality of judgment-Din, which is on the left and stems from the north-Tzafon-צפון, His quality of judgment-Din rises to restrain His quality of kindness-Chessed to the right, from completing the bestowal to the supplicant. Instead, it says, let us sit and judge whether this supplicant is worthy that his request be granted or not. The supplicant is then judged in the Great Sanhedrin, which is positioned toward the north-Tzafon-צפון. If he is worthy, they grant his request, but if he is found to be unworthy, they withhold all the wealth and goodness that HaShem’s-יהו"ה quality of kindness-Chessed drew down for him. Instead, HaShem’s-יהו"ה quality of judgment-Din in the north-Tzafon-צפון, receives all that wealth and goodness, and places it in its storehouses and treasuries in the north-Tzafon-צפון. That is, once HaShem’s-יהו"ה quality of kindness-Chessed has brought about a drawing forth, whatever was drawn forth does not revert to its place, but is received by the Great Sanhedrin positioned toward the north-Tzafon-צפון. It therefore is called north-Tzafon-צפון, which also means “hidden in storage-Tzafoon-צפון.”¹³⁷As in the verse (Psalms 31:20), “How abundant is Your goodness that You have stored away-Tzafanta-צפנת for those who fear You.” For, it is there that every kind of treasure, hoard and gold, lies hidden in storage-Tzefoonim-צפונים, as stated,¹³⁸Job 37:22 “Gold comes from the north-Tzafon-צפון.”
