[Ba'al Shem Tov, Emor 8:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Ba%27al%20Shem%20Tov/s/Emor/r/8:1)

**בסכת תשבו שבעת ימים וגו'.**פירוש הפסוק בסוכות תשבו שבעת ימים, לפי הפשוט היה צריך לכתוב להיפוך שבעת ימים תשבו בסוכות, אך כך פירושו, אתם בני אדם תראו שבסוכות תשבו אתם במעשיכם את השבעת ימים עליונים, דהיינו הזיי"ן אושפיזין עילאין כנודע:
(ליקוטים יקרים דל"א ע"ד).

**In sukkos, you shall dwell seven days.** (Leviticus 23:42)
According to its simple meaning, this verse should have been written in reverse: “Seven days you shall dwell in sukkos.” Rather, it means to say: “Through your deeds, see that you cause to dwell in the sukkos the seven Supernal days,¹” not as “you shall dwell,” but as, "you shall cause to dwell" (*tushvu*). which are the seven Supernal Guests."² from *Chesed* to *Malchus*, as represented by the seven biblical figures that “visit” during the week of Sukkos: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Aharon, Joseph, and David.
*Likutim Yikarim*, p. 31d
