Kabbalah sa Mga Awit 8:6: Pardes Rimmonim

וַתְּחַסְּרֵ֣הוּ מְּ֭עַט מֵאֱלֹהִ֑ים וְכָב֖וֹד וְהָדָ֣ר תְּעַטְּרֵֽהוּ׃

Ginawa Mo siyang bahagya lamang na mababa kaysa sa mga anghel, at pinutungan Mo siya ng kaluwalhatian at karilagan.

Pardes Rimmonim

יובל (Yovel/Yuval) is Binah (Understanding). And she is called this way because she completes the fiftieth year in the secret of the Fifty Gates [of Understanding], and she is the fiftieth year, which is the gate that is more marvellous than Moses our teacher, may he rest in peace, as you say (Psalms 8:6): “You have made him a little less [מעט] than divine” [in the Babylonian Talmud, tractate Rosh Hashanah 21b this verse is applied to Moses]. You should not say מעט but מ"ט [which has the numerical value of 49, thus one less than 50] etc. And this degree [Binah] is called by this name [יובל] when she flows into the fifty gates and gives an influx of abundance and good. And this is the meaning of Yuval, as “and towards a stream [יובל, Yuval] it will extend its roots” (Jeremiah 17:8). And as it will revolve until it has reached the fiftieth gate then in/through it [the fiftieth gate] it will cling to Chochmah (Wisdom). And on this it is said to Moses: “Be silent, thus [כך] it has come up in thought” [Babylonian Talmud, tractate Menachot 29b]. כך is in Gematria 40 [the text reads נ', 50, which is probably a mistake for מ', 40], while silence is in Chochmah which is Yod [י', 10]. And it has come up in thought which is Chochmah. [thus the verse “Be silent, thus it has come up in thought” refers to the fiftieth Gate of Understanding as it counts 10 (Be silent) + 40 (thus) = 50, ascending to Chochmah]. And because of this he [Moses] did not grasp the subject of the death of Rabbi Aqiva [as Moses had attained to only the fourty-ninth Gate of Understanding], because his death was on the side of the judgement, in the secret of the ascent, as will be explained in the Gate of the Soul [Gate 31 of the Pardes Rimonim], chapter 5. And we will return to our subject that in the cleaving of this gate to Chochmah, then it [this gate] is Yuval and then the whole world is mercy and great abundance, liberty and deliverance, and then we will call this degree [Binah] Yovel/Yuval.
