路得記 2:14的哈西迪思想

And this is "and make planks for the Tabernacle" (Ex. 26:15), meaning: the letters for plank קרש are the same for lie שקר, and this is that you should break off completely from the attribute of lying, and to strengthen yourself on the opposite attribute, just as a the plank is the opposite in letters of lie, until you make yourself a plank for the tabernacle, meaning, that you should be a chariot for the Shechinah, as explained above. "Ten cubits, the length אורך of the plank" (Ex. 26:16) - meaning, anything that is long ארוך, even if it has no end, one can call it with the expression "length". But the word רוחב width, implies something that is finite, and one needs to say how wide it is. And this is the explanation for "ten cubits אמות, the length of the plank" meaning, a thing that has no end, and anything that is spiritual has no end, and is called "long", make sure to serve with complete measures (amot אמות), in all the worlds. "And a cubit, and half a cubit, the width of the plank" - meaning, in the physical things, which are finite, and are called with the expression "width" in relation to the spiritual things, see that you do them with half measures, so that you will eat and have some left over (see Ruth 2:14) or that the rest of your material desires, see that you don't try to satisfy them completely.
