כֹּ֤ל פָּעַ֣ל יְ֭הוָה לַֽמַּעֲנֵ֑הוּ וְגַם־רָ֝שָׁ֗ע לְי֣וֹם רָעָֽה׃
O SENHOR fez tudo para um fim; sim, até o ímpio para o dia do mal.
The Beginning of Wisdom
(The matter of Sitra Achera and the complete rectification, which will ultimately happen)
214. Now, just as HaShem-יהו"ה, blessed is He, created the worlds of Briyah, Yetzirah and Asiyah as means to affect goodness and holiness, so too, He created entities that are instrumental in bringing about the [possibility of] evil, which He deemed necessary for the world. [The possibility of evil is necessary in order to bring about the conditions of free choice.] These forces are generally called Sitra Achera, that is, the “Other Side,” the side of evil, heaven forbid. Even though HaShem’s-יהו"ה will is good, He created evil as a temporary existence in order to bring about the ultimate good. The very existence of evil, therefore, is solely to realize this goodness, as stated,289Proverbs 16:4 “Every action of HaShem-יהו"ה is for His sake.”290“For His sake” – He being the ultimate good.
