*and because of it (Ex. 23:17) *... all of your males will be seen...

*– *Remember*¹ for a male, 
and *Observe*¹ for a female, 
all those who go to gaze at [Var. to be included in] the Shekhinah, 
should give Her a present¹

וצריך למחדי בה 
הה״ד 
ושמחת בחגך. 
דאיהי חדוה דקב״ה אתקריאת. 
ומאן דאזיל למחמי לה 
צריך לנטרא גרמיה מעציבו 
דאיהי לילי״ת 
חשוכא עצבון שאול טחול 
דאיהי מום. ועליה אתמר 
כל אשר בו מום לא יקרב.

**Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024:**
And one should rejoice in Her 
– it is this that is written: 
(Deut. 16:14) *And you shall rejoice in your festival*, 
for She is called ‘the joy of the blessed Holy One’, 
and one who goes to see Her, 
should guard himself from sadness, 
which is Lylyt, 
who is darkness, depression, *sheol*, spleen 
– for she is ‘blemish’¹ – and upon that it is stated: 
(Lev. 21:18) *... whoever has a blemish will not approach*.

*– this is the Higher Shekhinah, upon Whom it is stated: 
(Prov. 21:14) *A gift*¹ *in secret will subdue anger... 
*Because She is concealed, 
the world to come is called ‘a gift’¹, 
and about that is stated:² 
‘Moses will rejoice in the giving¹ of his portion’, 
because: (Ecc. 3:13) *... it is the gift*¹ *of ELQYM*.
