Kabbalah sa Exodo 27:20: Zohar, Sha'arei Kedusha, Reshit Chokhmah & Tikkunei Zohar

AND THOU SHALT COMMAND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL:… AND THOU BRING NEAR UNTO THEE AARON THY BROTHER. Said R. Hiya: What is the significance of the expression “and thou” in these and other passages, e.g., “And thou shalt speak unto all that are of a wise heart” (XXVIII, 3); “And thou take unto thee principal spices” (Ex. 30, 23)? In all cases it contains a reference to the supernal world, indicating that the Shekinah is joined with Moses.’

Similarly, Zohar states in Parshat Tetzaveh,³⁹⁰Zohar II 182a-b “An angry person uproots his holy soul and replaces it with the opposite of holiness (Sitra Achara). Such a person rebels against his Maker and it is forbidden to come close and attach oneself to him. About him the verse states,³⁹¹Job 18:4 ‘You who rips your soul apart in your anger,’ and he causes an alien god to dwell within him. Such a person is considered as if he built a personal altar to idolatry within himself, and therefore, whoever adheres to him, it is considered as if he has attached himself to actual idolatry, since idolatry dwells within this person. It is forbidden to look at the face of a person who is angry and about this the verse states,³⁹²Leviticus 19:4 ‘Do not turn to gods that are nothingness,’ and,³⁹³Exodus 34:17 ‘You shall not make molten gods for yourselves.’”

Thus his punishment is explained that he does not see the face of the Shechinah and he does not go into the palace. This is because of the reasons mentioned in the first article that says “defiles himself” because he awakens the spirit of impurity on all of his organs by virtue of heating himself up, since a drop of sperm cannot leave the body unless all of the organs are warm; thus we find that all of the organs become impure. This is slightly similar to the sin of anger, which is explained in the portion of Tetzaveh: “the one who heats himself up in anger, defiles himself inside and out.”
