Ohr Ne'erav
The intention is rather [to indicate] that Habakkuk the prophet is “one who removes himself from the affairs of the world.” Those [of his] prophecies which dealt with the affairs of the world were written prior to this prophecy. [Thus] the matter of the righteous to whom evil befalls and the wicked to whom good befalls was difficult for him.9Cf. Hab. 1:4. Thus also [he dealt with] the mores of this world, which are the portions of the Torah that deal with worldly concerns.10Hab. 2:4 ff. After all this, the prophet left these concerns and spoke of matters concerning [the Account of] the Chariot. (Thus he] said, God is coming from Teman…it is a brilliant light (Hab. 3:3-4).
Sha'arei Orah
Now, just as we find that the name E”l-א״ל corresponds to the name of the crown-Keter, and is also the name of magnanimity-Gedulah, we also find another name corresponding to the quality of magnanimity, called Elo’ah-אלו״ה. It too is the mystery of magnanimity-Gedulah, and is called the right-Yemin-ימין, as in the verse,100Habakkuk 3:3 “God-Elo’ah-אלו״ה came from the south-Teiman-תימן, the Holy One from Mount Paran, Selah!” With the help of E”l-א״ל, when we come to the name E”l-א״ל, we will explain the matters of Elo’ah-אלו״ה and Elohi”m-אלהי״ם. You then will discover the wonders of He who is of perfect knowledge, and the secret of the three names of Godliness-Elohoot-אלהו״ת, these being E”l-א״ל, Elo’ah-אלו"ה, Elohi”m-אלהי״ם. You thus will find that the name E”l-א״ל is the quality of kindness-Chessed, the name Elohi”m-אלהי״ם is the quality of judgement-Din, and includes the name Ya”h-י"ה within it, which is the first half of the Name HaShem-יהו״ה, whereas the name Elo’ah-אלו״ה, includes the letters Vav-Hey-ו"ה in it, which are the second half the Name HaShem-יהו״ה.
