וַיְקַנֵּ֥א יְהוָ֖ה לְאַרְצ֑וֹ וַיַּחְמֹ֖ל עַל־עַמּֽוֹ׃
און גאָט האָט זיך אָנגענומען פֿאַר זײַן לאַנד, און האָט זיך דערבאַרימט אױף זײַן פֿאָלק.
Sha'arei Orah
Know, that from these two Divine qualities, collectively called HaShem God of Hosts-HaShem Elohi”m Tzva’ot-יהו״ה אלהי״ם צבאו״ת, all the hosts-Tzva’ot-צבאו״ת of the upper and lower worlds are drawn down, each after its kind, and from them, all wars are drawn into the world. These qualities are the matter of vengeance-Kin’ah-קנאה, and are the matter of the verse,36Isaiah 37:32 “The vengeance-Kin’at-קנאת of HaShem of Hosts-יהו״ה צבאו״ת shall do this!” Similarly, the verse states,37Joel 2:18 “HaShem-יהו״ה shall be vengeful-Yikaneh-יקנא for His land-Artzo-ארצו.”38As discussed in the First Gate, the Land-Eretz-ארץ refers to His quality of Kingship-Malchut.
