Levítico 23:28 Cabalá: Sha'arei Orah

Know now, that these two names, collectively called, HaShem God of Hosts-HaShem Elohi”m Tzva’ot-יהו״ה אלהי״ם צבאו״ת, referring to victory-Netzach and majesty-Hod, are called The Essence of the Heavens-Etzem HaShamayim-עצם השמים. About them it states,¹¹⁵Exodus 24:10 “Like the essence of the heavens-Etzem HaShamayim-עצם השמים in purity.” This is because their strength-Eetzumam-עיצומם comes from that place called heavens-Shamayim-שמים. This mystery in Scriptures is well known to those who know the hidden wisdom.¹¹⁶See Ramban to Leviticus 23:28 They literally are the strength of the heavens-Etzem HaShamayim-עצם השמים, and every term of “Etzem-עצם” that you find, receives from them, each matter according to its kind. For example, when Torah states,¹¹⁷Leviticus 23:28; Also see Ramban there. “On the essence-Etzem-עצם of this day,” the day receives strength from them. This likewise is the mystery of the verse,¹¹⁸Psalms 35:10 “All my bones-Atzmotai-עצמותי declare, ‘HaShem-יהו״ה, who is like You?’” It is from this place that strength of life comes to the dead of Israel, through the quality of the Living God-E”l Chai-א״ל חי. The verse thus states,¹¹⁹Isaiah 58:11 “[He] will strengthen your bones-Atzmotecha-עצמותיך.” The word used here for “strengthen-Yachaleetz-יחליץ,” also means “to arm,” as in the verse,¹²⁰Numbers 32:32 “We shall cross over armed-Chalutzim-חלוצים,” and similarly,¹²¹Numbers 32:27 “Every armed person of the legion-Chalutz Tzava-חלוץ צבא,” and the verse,¹²²Numbers 31:5 “Twelve thousand armed (men) of the legion-Chultzei Tzava-חלוצי צבא.” That is, it is from the place called HaShem Tzva’ot-יהו״ה צבאו״ת that they become an “armed legion-Chalutzei Tzava-חלוצי צבא,” and that, “[He] will strengthen your bones-Atzmotecha Yachaleetz-עצמותיך יחליץ.”
