Kabbalah sa Genesis 28:12: Sha'arei Kedusha & Sha'arei Orah

The reward a person receives for crowning the Holy One, blessed is He, over each of his limbs, is that it is considered as if he crowned the Holy One, blessed is He, over the entire world, for man is called a microcosm of the world. Permission was not granted to reveal the reasons for the commandments-mitzvot, in order that a person should not come to serve HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He, for the ulterior motive of receiving reward.³⁴²Mishnah Avot 1:3 Nevertheless, come and see how meritorious is the soul that is rooted in the form of her Master, and fulfills all His commandments. When such a soul ascends, all the hosts of angels ascend with her. For they are all tied to and dependent upon those commandments, fixtures, and camps of the body of the King (Goofa d’Malka). Thus, they all ascend with her and descend with her, and this soul is called the ladder (Sulam) about which it states,³⁴³Genesis 28:12 “There was a ladder set on the ground and its top reached the heavens, and the angels of God were ascending and descending upon it.” When that soul ascends, a voice comes down and proclaims in all the firmaments and to all the hosts and camps that are tied to that soul, “Grant honor to the form of the King.”

Now, our forefather Yaakov revealed some of the hidden secrets of this Sefirah. The reason is because his portion is greater than that of Avraham and Yitzchak, being that his inheritance ascends in the middle line-Kav HaEmtza’eee-קו האמצעי, called Knowledge-Da’at-דעת, to the World of Mercies. The verse therefore states,⁸²Genesis 28:12-16 “He dreamt, and behold! A ladder was set earthward and its top reached heavenward… And behold! HaShem-יהו״ה was standing over him… Yaakov awoke from his sleep and said, ‘Surely there is-Yesh-יש HaShem-יהו״ה in this place.” Now, it is appropriate that it was he who hinted this, since about him the verse states,⁸³Isaiah 58:14; Also see Talmud Bavli, Shabbat 118a-b ibid. “Then you will delight in HaShem-יהו״ה, and I will mount you astride the heights of the earth; I will provide you with the inheritance of your forefather Yaakov.”
