עָזִּי וְזִמְרָת יָהּ וַיְּהִי לִי לִישׁוּעָה (שירת הים שמות ט״ו:ב׳):

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
“*Azi veZimrat YaH* (My might and the song of God;) it has brought me deliverance.” (Exodus 15:2)


###### Likutei Moharan 105:1:2
[Likutei Moharan 105:1:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/105:1:2)

הִנֵּה הָעוֹלָם צְרִיכִין רַחֲמִים גְּדוֹלִים, הֵן בְּרוּחָנִיּוּת הֵן בְּגַשְׁמִי. וְכָל אֶחָד מְבַקֵּשׁ רַחֲמִים, וְאֵינוֹ יוֹדֵעַ הֵיכָן הוּא. וְהָרַחֲמִים הוּא לְעֵינֵי כֹּל, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב (דברים ל׳:י״א-י״ב): לֹא רְחוֹקָה הִיא וְלֹא בַשָּׁמַיִם וְכוּ'.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Behold, humankind is in need of abundant mercy, both spiritually and physically. Although everyone seeks mercy, no one knows where it is. Yet mercy is right in front of everyone’s eyes, as it is written (Deuteronomy 30:11, 12), “it is not beyond your reach. It is not in heaven….”


###### Likutei Moharan 105:1:3
[Likutei Moharan 105:1:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/105:1:3)

וְהִנֵּה אִיתָא בַּזֹּהַר (נשא דף קלז:): אִית רַחֲמִים וְאִית רַחֲמִים, אִית רַחֲמִים פְּשׁוּטִים דִּזְעֵיר אַנְפִּין, וְאִית רַחֲמִים גְּדוֹלִים דְּעַתִּיקָא סְתִימָאָה, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב (ישעיהו נ״ד:ז׳): וּבְרַחֲמִים גְּדוֹלִים אֲקַבְּצֵךְ.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
And see, it is brought in the *Zohar* (III, 137b): There is mercy and there is mercy. There is the simple mercy of *Z’er Anpin,* and there is the abundant mercy of *Atika St imaah,* as it is written (Isaiah 54:7), “and with abundant mercy I will gather you in.”


###### Likutei Moharan 105:1:4
[Likutei Moharan 105:1:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/105:1:4)

וְאָנוּ צְרִיכִין רַחֲמִים, אַךְ בַּעֲווֹנֵינוּ הָרַבִּים בַּדּוֹר הַזֶּה אֵין מִי שֶׁיִּתְפַּלֵּל כָּךְ, שֶׁיּוּכַל לְהַמְשִׁיךְ הָרַחֲמִים, מֵחֲמַת שֶׁאֵין מִי שֶׁיַּכִּיר גְּדֻלַּת הַבּוֹרֵא כָּל כָּךְ, מִפְּנֵי גֹּדֶל הַגָּלוּת וְהַדַּחֲקוּת.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
In this bitter exile we are in need of mercy. However, on account of the many sins of the current generation, there isn’t anyone who can pray in the manner that would enable him to draw abundant mercy. This is because there is no one who sufficiently recognizes the greatness of the Creator, on account of the extensiveness of the exile and the duress.


###### Likutei Moharan 105:1:5
[Likutei Moharan 105:1:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/105:1:5)

וְהַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא בְּעַצְמוֹ צָרִיךְ לְהִתְפַּלֵּל עַל זֶה, כִּדְאִיתָא בַּגְּמָרָא (ברכות ז): מִנַּיִן שֶׁהַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא מִתְפַּלֵּל, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: וְשִׂמַּחְתִּים בְּבֵית תְּפִלָּתִי, תְּפִלָּתָם לֹא נֶאֱמַר אֶלָּא תְּפִלָּתִי, מִכָּאן שֶׁהַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא מִתְפַּלֵּל. וּמַה מִּתְפַּלֵּל, יְהִי רָצוֹן וְכוּ'.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Thus the Holy Blessed One must Himself pray for this, as we find in the Talmud (Berakhot 7a): From where do we know that the Holy One prays? For it is written (Isaiah 56:7), “I will make them joyful in the House of My prayer.” It does not say “their prayer,” but “My prayer.” From this [we learn] that the Holy One prays. And what does He pray? “May it be My will that My mercy overcome My anger….”


###### Likutei Moharan 105:1:6
[Likutei Moharan 105:1:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/105:1:6)

וּבַמֶּה יָכוֹל לָבוֹא שֶׁהוּא יִתְבָּרַךְ יִתְפַּלֵּל, עַל יְדֵי תּוֹרָה. כִּי בְּכָל אָדָם יֵשׁ בּוֹ חֵלֶק מִכְּלָלוּת כָּל הָעוֹלָמוֹת וְצֵרוּפִים, וּבְכָל מַה שֶּׁהוּא מְדַבֵּק אֶת עַצְמוֹ, לְשָׁם הוּא מְקַשֵּׁר חֶלְקוֹ. וּכְשֶׁהוּא הוֹלֵךְ אַחַר שְׁרִירוּת לִבּוֹ וְתַאֲוָתוֹ, הוּא מְקַשֵּׁר חֶלְקוֹ וְהָאוֹתִיּוֹת וְהַצֵּרוּפִים לְסִטְרָא אָחֳרָא, חַס וְשָׁלוֹם, וּמִתְבַּלְבְּלִים הָאוֹתִיּוֹת וְהַצֵּרוּפִים, וְהַדַּעַת גַּם כֵּן מִתְבַּלְבֵּל, וְהוּא גָּלוּת הַשְּׁכִינָה.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
And by what means can we bring this about, that the Blessed One Himself will pray for that which was just mentioned? That means is repentance. For every human has within him a part of the totality of all the worlds and the letters permuted therein. This is the reason man is called a microcosm. And to whatever he attaches himself, it is to there that he binds his portion and all the letters. Thus if he follows the whims of his heart and his desires, he binds his portion and the letters and permutations to the Other Side, God forbid. The letters and permutations then become jumbled, and *daat,* too, becomes confused. This is the exile of the *Shekhinah* (Divine Presence).


###### Likutei Moharan 105:1:7
[Likutei Moharan 105:1:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/105:1:7)

וְכָל מִי שֶׁאֵין בּוֹ דַּעַת אֵין בּוֹ מִדַּת רַחֲמָנוּת, וּכְמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב (קהלת ז׳:ט׳): כַּעַס בְּחֵיק כְּסִילִים יָנוּחַ. לָכֵן כָּל מִי שֶׁאֵין בּוֹ דֵּעָה אָסוּר לְרַחֵם עָלָיו, כְּמוֹ שֶׁאָמְרוּ רַבּוֹתֵינוּ זִכְרוֹנָם לִבְרָכָה (ברכות לג), כִּי אֵין בּוֹ מִדַּת רַחֲמָנוּת. וּכְשֶׁשָּׁב בִּתְשׁוּבָה שְׁלֵמָה, יָשׁוּבוּ חֲלָקָיו מִכְּלָלִיּוּת הָעוֹלָמוֹת וְהָאוֹתִיּוֹת וְהַצֵּרוּפִים גַּם כֵּן לִמְקוֹמָן. וְאָז הַדַּעַת שָׁלֵם, וּמִתְעוֹרֵר רַחֲמָנוּת.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Now, whoever lacks *daat,* lacks the trait of mercy, as it is written (Ecclesia st es 7:9), “anger abides in the bosom of fools”—therefore, it is forbidden to show mercy to someone who lacks *daat,* as our Sages, of blessed memory, taught (Berakhot 33a). This is because he himself lacks the trait of mercy. But when he returns in complete repentance, his portion from the totality of the worlds and the letters and permutations likewise return to their place. *Daat* is then whole, and the trait of mercy is awakened in him.


###### Likutei Moharan 105:1:8
[Likutei Moharan 105:1:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/105:1:8)

כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב (דברים ל׳:ג׳): וְשָׁב ה' אֱלֹקֶיךָ אֶת שְׁבוּתְךָ (עיין תרגום שם), דְּהַיְנוּ הַחֵלֶק מִכְּלָלִיּוּת הָעוֹלָמוֹת אֲשֶׁר שָׁם שָׁבוּי, אֲזַי: וְרִחֲמֶךָ; כִּי הַדַּעַת שָׁלֵם, כְּמוֹ שֶׁאָמְרוּ חֲכָמֵינוּ זִכְרוֹנָם לִבְרָכָה (מגילה יב:) עַל הַפָּסוּק: וּבַגּוֹלָה לֹא הָלַךְ, שֶׁכָּל דָּבָר שֶׁהוּא בִּמְקוֹמוֹ דַּעְתּוֹ שָׁלֵם.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
**{“Then God your Lord will return et *shevutekha* (your captivity) and have mercy upon you, and He will bring you back together from all the peoples to which God your Lord has scattered you”** (Deuteronomy 30:3) **.}** This is as it is written, “Then God your Lord will return”—this alludes to his portion from the totality of the worlds—“*et SheVuTkha*”—that is, through your *TeShuVah* (repentance)—and so “have mercy upon you,” because [your] *daat* is whole. This is as our Sages, of blessed memory, taught concerning the verse “nor has he gone into exile” (Jeremiah 48:11)—anything that is in its place, its *daat* is whole (Megillah 12b).


###### Likutei Moharan 105:1:9
[Likutei Moharan 105:1:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/105:1:9)

וְעִקַּר הַתְּשׁוּבָה תּוֹלָה בַּתּוֹרָה. וְהִנֵּה בְּכָל דָּבָר שֶׁבִּקְדֻשָּׁה יֵשׁ בּוֹ שְׁלֹשָׁה דְּבָרִים: עִבּוּר, יְנִיקָה, מֹחִין. כִּי כָּל זְמַן שֶׁהַדָּבָר בְּכֹחַ נִקְרָא עִבּוּר, [כִּי הוּא נֶעְלָם. וּכְשֶׁבָּא מִכֹּחַ אֶל הַפֹּעַל נִקְרָא] לֵדָה וִינִיקָה. וּכְשֶׁפָּשַׁט הַדָּבָר לַעֲשׂוֹת הַפְּעֻלָּה הַצְּרִיכָה, אֲזַי נִקְרָא מֹחִין.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Now, repentance depends primarily on the Torah. It is the case that every holy thing involves three stages: *ebur* (pregnancy), *yenikah* (nursing) and *mochin d’gadlut* (mature mentalities). The entire time the thing is in potential is called “pregnancy.” Going from potential to actual is called “birth and nursing.” And when the thing progresses to produce the required action, it is then called “mature mentalities.”


###### Likutei Moharan 105:1:10
[Likutei Moharan 105:1:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/105:1:10)

וּכְשֶׁלּוֹמֵד תּוֹרָה גַּם כֵּן צְרִיכִין לִהְיוֹת בּוֹ שְׁלֹשָׁה דְּבָרִים הַנַּ"ל. כִּי כְּשֶׁיּוֹשֵׁב לִלְמֹד, וְנוֹתֵן מַחֲשַׁבְתּוֹ וְלִבּוֹ בְּהַתּוֹרָה, וּמִתְעַלֵּם בָּהּ, נִקְרָא עִבּוּר, כִּי הוּא מִתְעַלֵּם בָּהּ כְּעֻבָּר בִּמְעֵי אִמּוֹ. וּכְשֶׁלּוֹמֵד הַתּוֹרָה וּמֵבִין בָּהּ, נִקְרָא לֵדָה וִינִיקָה, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב (משלי ה׳:י״ט): דַּדֶּיהָ יְרַוֻּךָ בְכָל עֵת. וְאַחַר כָּךְ כְּשֶׁמֵּבִין דָּבָר מִתּוֹךְ דָּבָר וְרוֹצֶה לְחַדֵּשׁ בָּהּ, נִקְרָא מֹחִין. כִּדְאִיתָא בַּגְּמָרָא (ירושלמי ר"ה פ' ראוהו בי"ד) עַל פָּסוּק: מִמֶּרְחָק תָּבִיא לַחְמָהּ, כִּי הַתּוֹרָה נִקְרָא עֲנִיָּה בִּמְקוֹמָהּ וַעֲשִׁירָה בְּמָקוֹם אַחֵר, שֶׁצָּרִיךְ לְהָבִיא רְאָיָה מִמָּקוֹם אַחֵר, וּלְכָךְ נִקְרָא חָכְמָה, עַל דֶּרֶךְ (קהלת ז׳:כ״ג): אָמַרְתִּי אֶחְכָּמָה וְהִיא רְחוֹקָה מִמֶּנִּי.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Thus when a person studies Torah, he must likewise incorporate these three stages. His sitting down to study and putting his mind and heart to the Torah, concealing himself within it, is called “pregnancy,” because he conceals himself like a fetus in its mother’s womb. His studying and understanding the Torah is called “birth and nursing,” as it is written (Proverbs 5:19), “her breasts will satisfy you at all times.” And afterwards, when he understands one thing from another and looks to formulate new insight into [the Torah], it is called “[mature] mentalities.” This is as is brought in the Talmud concerning the verse “she brings her food from afar” (ibid. 31:14)—for the Torah is called “poor” in its place and “rich” elsewhere (Yerushalmi, Rosh HaShanah 3:5). He has to bring a proof from a different place. This is why it is called “wisdom,” in the manner of “I thought I would be wise, but it is far from me” (Ecclesia st es 7:23).


###### Likutei Moharan 105:1:11
[Likutei Moharan 105:1:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/105:1:11)

נִמְצָא כְּשֶׁמֵּבִין דָּבָר מִתּוֹךְ דָּבָר נִקְרָא מֹחִין, הַיְנוּ חָכְמָה. וּכְשֶׁלּוֹמֵד בְּאֹפֶן זֶה, אָז הִיא תְּשׁוּבָה גְּמוּרָה, וּמְקַשֵּׁר הָאוֹתִיּוֹת וְהַצֵּרוּפִים שֶׁבְּחֶלְקוֹ מִכְּלָלוּת הָעוֹלָמוֹת אֶל שָׁרְשָׁן וְאֶל מְקוֹמָן, וְנַעֲשֶׂה בְּרִיָּה חֲדָשָׁה. וְאָז הַדַּעַת שָׁלֵם, וּמִתְעוֹרֵר רַחֲמָנוּת:

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Thus it is that a person’s ability to understand one thing from another is called “mentalities”—namely, wisdom. And when he studies in this manner, his repentance is consummate. He binds the letters and the permutations in his portion of the totality of the worlds to their root and place, and so becomes a new person. *Daat* is then whole and mercy is awakened.


###### Likutei Moharan 105:2:1
[Likutei Moharan 105:2:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/105:2:1)

וְהִנֵּה עַל דֶּרֶךְ מָשָׁל, כְּשֶׁיֵּשׁ שְׁנֵי בַּעֲלֵי רַחֲמִים, הָאֶחָד אֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לְרַחֵם רַק בְּדָבָר מֻעָט, וְהַשֵּׁנִי כְּשֶׁהוּא מְרַחֵם, פּוֹעֵל בָּרַחֲמָנוּת שֶׁלּוֹ יְשׁוּעָה שְׁלֵמָה. עַל כֵּן, מִי שֶׁצָּרִיךְ לְרַחֲמִים, לָמָּה לוֹ לְהִשְׁתַּמֵּשׁ בָּרַחֲמָנוּת שֶׁל רִאשׁוֹן, וְלֹא יִהְיֶה רַק יְשׁוּעָה מֻעֶטֶת, מוּטָב שֶׁיִּתְפַּלֵּל הַבַּעַל הָרַחֲמִים הָרִאשׁוֹן לְבַעַל הָרַחֲמִים הַשֵּׁנִי, וְיִפְעֹל בָּרַחֲמִים שֶׁל הָרִאשׁוֹן יְשׁוּעָה שְׁלֵמָה.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
**2 .** Consider, by way of example, a case of two merciful people. The first one can show mercy only in a limited manner. But the second one, when he has mercy, his mercy effects a complete deliverance. Therefore, why should someone in need of mercy take up the first one’s mercy and have only a partial deliverance? He would be better off if the first merciful person pleaded to the second merciful person, so that through the first one’s mercy he achieves a complete deliverance.


###### Likutei Moharan 105:2:2
[Likutei Moharan 105:2:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/105:2:2)

כָּךְ הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ בָּרַחֲמִים הַפְּשׁוּטִים שֶׁלּוֹ מִתְפַּלֵּל וּמְרַחֵם עַל יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּרַחֲמִים גְּדוֹלִים. וּכְשֶׁלּוֹמֵד תּוֹרָה, כַּנִּזְכָּר, נִתְעוֹרֵר הָרַחֲמָנוּת שֶׁהוּא הַדַּעַת, וְהַתְּפִלָּה.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Similarly, through His simple mercy God prays [to Himself] and is merciful to the Jewish people with abundant mercy. And when one studies Torah in the manner mentioned, it awakens the mercy, which is *daat,* and the prayer.


###### Likutei Moharan 105:2:3

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
This is the meaning of [the opening verse]: **{“My might and the song of God; it has brought me deliverance.”}** **My might—**“Might” [here] refers to nothing other than the Torah (Sifri, VeZot HaBerakhah 2; Zohar II, 94a). And the Torah that one studies in the manner mentioned brings to **the song of God—**This alludes to God’s prayer and mercy. Thus, **it has brought me deliverance** .

**3.** This lesson, too, is from *leshon hachaveirim* and was not written down in a clear manner. However, I later heard an explanation directly from [the Rebbe ’s] holy mouth about God’s prayer, which has been discussed here. It is as follows:

כִּי יֵשׁ אֵצֶל הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ רַחֲמִים פְּשׁוּטִים וְרַחֲמִים גְּדוֹלִים, (כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב בַּזֹּהַר הַקָּדוֹשׁ, כַּנַּ"ל). וְהִנֵּה לְמָשָׁל, כְּשֶׁיֵּשׁ בְּעִיר שְׁנֵי עֲשִׁירִים, אֶחָד יֵשׁ לוֹ עֲשִׁירוּת פָּשׁוּט, וְהַשֵּׁנִי הוּא עָשִׁיר גָּדוֹל מְאֹד וּמֻפְלָג בַּעֲשִׁירוּת עָצוּם וְהוֹן רַב מְאֹד מְאֹד, אֲשֶׁר אִי אֶפְשָׁר לְהַעֲרִיךְ עֲשִׁירוּתוֹ. וְהֻצְרַךְ אָדָם אֶחָד לִישׁוּעָה גְּדוֹלָה, הָעוֹלָה לְסַךְ רַב. וְהוּא אֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לְהִתְקָרֵב לְבַקֵּשׁ מְבֻקָּשׁוֹ, כִּי אִם לְהֶעָשִׁיר הַקָּטָן בְּמַעֲלָה, כִּי לְהֶעָשִׁיר הַגָּדוֹל אִי אֶפְשָׁר לוֹ לָבוֹא אֵלָיו. אֲבָל זֶה הֶעָשִׁיר הַקָּטָן, אַף־עַל־פִּי שֶׁהוּא רוֹצֶה לַעֲזֹר לוֹ בְּכָל יְכָלְתּוֹ, אַף־עַל־פִּי־כֵן לֹא יוּכַל לְקַבֵּל מְבֻקָּשׁוֹ מִמֶּנּוּ, כִּי אֵין בִּיכָלְתּוֹ לְמַלֹּאת מִשְׁאֲלוֹתָיו שֶׁל זֶה הָאִישׁ, כִּי מִשְׁאֲלוֹתָיו גְּדוֹלִים מִיכָלְתּוֹ.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
God possesses both simple mercy and abundant mercy (as recorded in the holy Zohar cited above). Take the example of a city in which there are two wealthy individuals. One has moderate wealth. The other is fabulously wealthy; his affluence is so enormous, his fortune so vast, that his wealth cannot be measured. Now, there is a certain man who needs a great deliverance, one costing a large sum of money. Yet he can only approach the individual with modest wealth to petition for his request, because it is impossible for him to gain entry to the very wealthy individual. However, although this individual with modest wealth wants to help him in every way he can, [the man] cannot get from him what he seeks. This is because [the modestly wealthy individual] is incapable of fulfilling that man’s requests, since those requests exceed his means.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Therefore, this man in need of deliverance is advised to do the following: He should go to the individual of modest wealth, whom he can easily approach, and awaken his mercy. He should go to him and say, “Look, I need a great deliverance, and I know that you want to show me mercy. Nevertheless, it is not within your power to fulfill my requests. But what I seek from you, since you do want to have mercy on me, is that the mercy you show me be that you go to the extraordinarily wealthy individual and elicit mercy from him, so that he fulfills my requests. With his enormous affluence, he can fulfill my requests twice over. However, I myself am incapable of gaining entry to such a great person. You, on the other hand, can get in to him. Have mercy on me by petitioning him on my behalf that he fulfill my requests. Through this you’ll surely assist me with whatever is needed for my complete deliverance.”

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
It is exactly the same thing, so to speak, when we petition simple mercy to awaken the mercy of abundant mercy and receive from there all the mercy we need for our complete deliverance. And this is the aspect of the Holy Blessed One’s prayer. For our Sages, of blessed memory, taught: “From where do we know that the Holy One prays?”—in other words, that the aspect of simple mercy, as it were, pleads and prays and awakens abundant mercy.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
For we ourselves have no power other than to awaken simple mercy, which corresponds to the plain mercy of *Z’er Anpin* . But this mercy is limited. Simple mercy of this type is incapable of saving us, God forbid. Therefore, we have to request that the plain mercy our prayers awaken in God, that this mercy itself pray and awaken abundant mercy so that great mercy is drawn upon us from there. Through this we will certainly have deliverance. This is the aspect of the Holy Blessed One’s prayer, as explained above. Understand this well, for these are wondrous and very awesome matters.

**4.** In addition, I heard that this is the explanation of the verse “O God, pray, heal her, pray!” (Numbers 12:13). On the face of it, the repetition of the word “pray” is quite odd. However, now it is clearly explained. Moshe *Rabbeinu,* may he rest in peace, asked this of God, that God Himself, as it were, should pray and petition Himself to heal her. Now, how much sweeter than honey is the resolving of this verse.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Thus this is the meaning of: **O God, pray—**That is, Moshe *Rabbeinu,* may he rest in peace, prayed to God. He said to Him: “O God, pray,” and he petitioned and prayed, “You Yourself, to Yourself.”

**heal her, pray—**That is, as explained above, Moshe prayed to God and pleaded with Him that He Himself should pray and ask, “Heal her, pray!” Thus now the repetition of the word “pray” is precise, and clearly explained.

**5.** The general point of this is that through the Torah we merit repentance—i.e., to restore all the things and permutations and letters which due to one’s sins were scattered to wherever they were scattered and banished from their place. As a result, the *daat* was not settled. This is because as long as they are not in their place, *daat* is unsettled, as explained above. For sin causes the portions of letters and permutations in all the worlds that are associated with his soul’s root to be banished from their places. This is the exile of the *Shekhinah,* on account of which *daat* is not settled and, consequently, he cannot awaken mercy, as explained above.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Thus he has to repent. And repentance is primarily achieved through the Torah, which is “poor in its place and rich elsewhere.” Through this he attracts and binds all the letters and permutations that were expelled from their places, restoring them all to where they belong. *Daat* is then settled and he merits awakening mercy. This is because mercy depends primarily on *daat,* since “when someone lacks *daat,* it is forbidden to show him mercy” (and as has been explained a number of times elsewhere in the teachings of the Rebbe, of blessed memory ; see there).

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Thus it is that through Torah we merit repentance and *daat* is made whole. As a result, we merit awakening God’s mercy. And the essential mercy is our awakening God’s mercy so that with this mercy He Himself awakens the abundant mercy, which we are incapable of reaching. Rather, God Himself has to pray for this, as explained above. In other words, He should be merciful to us with His simple mercy that we have awakened. Through this, His abundant mercy—the abundant mercy of *Atika St imaah*—is awakened, and from there we will certainly have deliverance.

**6.** This is the meaning of [the opening verse]: **{“My might and the song of God; it has brought me deliverance.”}** **My might—**“Might” [here] refers to nothing other than the Torah, through which we merit repentance and *daat,* which in turn awakens God’s mercy to the point where He Himself, as it were, prays for us.

Then, **it has brought me deliverance—**A certainty. For through “the song of God,” which is the prayer of God that He prays with His simple mercy to awaken His abundant mercy, one is certain to receive a complete deliverance, as explained above. This is because His abundant mercy never ceases. And when God is merciful to us with this mercy, there is surely no sin or blemish that could obstruct this abundant mercy. Thus our deliverance is certain to be complete. Amen! Amen!
