“Its fruit is food and its leaves a source of healing.“64Ezek. 47:12. So on this day, the beginning of Your deeds concerning [the trees’] budding and renewal, “a person will earn with its fruit…,”65Song of Songs 8:11. “producing fruit after its kind.“66Gen. 1:11. For so the days of budding will be full for the fruit of the supernal tree, “the tree of life which is in the midst of the garden“67Gen. 2:9. and it makes fruit above.

Does not wisdom cry out (Prov. 8:1) to the remnants of Israel to observe discretion (Prov. 2:11) [regarding] the secrets of wisdom (Job 11:6)? They praise the Lord with their throats (Ps. 149:6). In their right hand is fullness of joy (Ps. 16:11) and pleasantness. They direct their tongue with the pen of a ready writer (Ps. 45:2) who has studied and understood. He is frightened by the fools among the people. They walk in darkness, refined in the smelter of poverty and much servitude (Lam. 1:3) bordered with cords (Esther 1:6) of mockery, folly, and ignorance in the captivity of this host (Obad. 1:20) when vileness is exalted among the sons of men (Ps. 12:9). They are ignorant of the time to plant the tree of life in the midst of the garden (Gen. 2:9)

Even so, I will hint at it further with the verse,311Genesis 2:9 “The Tree of the Knowledge of good-Tov-טוב and evil-Ra-רע,” and,312Proverbs 31:12 “She bestows goodness-Tov-טוב upon him, never evil-Ra-רע, all the days of her life,” hinting at eternal life. Whoever understands this will understand the repetition of the words “I-Anee-אני, I-Anww-אני am He.” This is the secret of the verse,313Numbers 15:41 “I-Anee-אני am HaShem-יהו״ה your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt to be a God unto you; I-Anee-אני am HaShem-יהו״ה your God.” Whoever understands the beginning and end of this verse, will understand the secret of, “See now that I-Anee-אני, I-Anee-אני am He-Hoo-הוא,” and the secret of, “I-Anee-אני put to death and I bring to life.”
