אַחַ֤ת ׀ שָׁאַ֣לְתִּי מֵֽאֵת־יְהוָה֮ אוֹתָ֪הּ אֲבַ֫קֵּ֥שׁ שִׁבְתִּ֣י בְּבֵית־יְ֭הוָה כָּל־יְמֵ֣י חַיַּ֑י לַחֲז֥וֹת בְּנֹֽעַם־יְ֝הוָ֗ה וּלְבַקֵּ֥ר בְּהֵיכָלֽוֹ׃
Isang bagay ang hiniling ko sa Walang-Hanggan, iyon ang aking hahanapin: ang manahan ako sa bahay ng Walang-Hanggan sa lahat ng araw ng aking buhay, upang mamasdan ang kariktan ng Walang-Hanggan at upang dumalaw tuwing umaga sa Kanyang santuwaryo.
Sha'arei Orah
The Torah was given with Might-Gevurah, as it states,65Exodus 20:1 “God-Elohi”m-אלהי״ם spoke all these statements, saying, I am HaShem-יהו"ה etc.,” and,66Deuteronomy 5:21 “So now, why should we die, for this Great Fire-Aish HaGedolah-אש הגדולה will consume us.” Similarly, the verse states,67Exodus 19:1 “In the third month from the Exodus of the children of Israel from Egypt, on this very day, they arrived at the Wilderness of Sinai.” That is, the Exodus from Egypt was with Understanding-Binah, which is the third Sefirah [from up down], and it was on that day that they arrived at the Wilderness of Sinai. Whoever knows the secret of these foundations will merit “to behold the sweetness of HaShem-יהו״ה and to visit in His Sanctuary,”68Psalms 27:4 for “this is the whole purpose of man.”69Ecclesiastes 12:13
