וְהָיָ֣ה ׀ הַנִּשְׁאָ֣ר בְּצִיּ֗וֹן וְהַנּוֹתָר֙ בִּיר֣וּשָׁלִַ֔ם קָד֖וֹשׁ יֵאָ֣מֶר ל֑וֹ כָּל־הַכָּת֥וּב לַחַיִּ֖ים בִּירוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
At mangyayari na ang naiwan sa Zion at ang natira sa Jerusalem ay tatawaging banal, ang bawat isang nakasulat para sa buhay sa Jerusalem.
Sha'arei Orah
Now, at times this Divine quality is called The Book of Life-Sefer HaChayim-ספר החיים. This is because it is a repository within which life is drawn from the Supernal Life that is called the “Life of the Coming World.” This life is drawn to it from HaShem’s-יהו"ה Divine quality called the Living God-El Chai-אל חי and is analogous to a book in which one writes. So it is with this quality. All forms are given depiction in it, each to their kind, whether for death or for life, as written,253Deuteronomy 32:39 “I-Anee-אני put to death and I bring to life.” Similarly, it is written,254Isaiah 4:3 “Everyone who is inscribed for life in Jerusalem,” because this quality is also called Jerusalem-Yerushalayim-ירושלם, after a known quality.255As mentioned before, our sages, of blessed memory, explain that the name Jerusalem-Yerushalayim-ירושלם refers to the fear of HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He, and is thus equal to “perfect fear-Yirah Shalem-ירא״ה של״ם” (See Midrash Bereishit Rabba 56:10). With the help of HaShem-יהו״ה, we will explain all these matters according to their proper order and intent and with full explanations, when we come to HaShem’s-יהו"ה Divine quality called, the Living God-El Chai-אל חי.
