Números 35:34 Cabalá: Sha'arei Orah

Likewise, it states,¹³¹Numbers 35:34 “You shall not contaminate the Land in which you dwell, in whose midst I rest, for I am HaShem-יהו״ה who dwells within the children of Israel.” Now, throughout all of Torah this Divine quality is called The Meeting Tent-Ohel Mo’ed-אהל מועד. The general reason is because it is the house of HaShem-יהו״ה and He dwells (Shochen-שוכן) within it. The verse thus states,¹³²Leviticus 1:1 “He called to Moshe, and HaShem-יהו״ה spoke to him from the Meeting Tent-Ohel Mo’ed-אהל מועד, saying.” That is, to whomever HaShem-יהו"ה speaks, He speaks to him through this Meeting Tent-Ohel Mo’ed-אהל מועד.” In regard to Moshe, peace be upon him, the difference is that he would enter into the Tent and speak to HaShem-יהו״ה face to face,¹³³Numbers 12:7-8; as it states,¹³⁴Numbers 7:89 “When Moshe arrived at the Tent of Meeting to speak with Him,” in which Targum translates the term “Tent-Ohel-אהל” as “Dwelling-Mishkena-משכנא,” which is a reference to the mystery of the Shechinah, the Indwelling Presence of HaShem-יהו״ה. The term “Meeting-Mo’ed-מועד” means “a house of meeting and readiness-Beit Va’ad-בית וועד,”¹³⁵See Rashi to Exodus 33:7 meaning that HaShem-יהו״ה is always readily found there. It is specifically His meeting place, as it states,¹³⁶Exodus 25:22 “It is there that I will set My meetings with you.”
