‘Yeast and leaven’ – which are ‘the mixed multitude’.

And the mystery of the matter: (Gen. 1:6) ... and He separated between the waters and the waters. about which it is stated: (Ex. 12:15) ... but on the first day, you shall remove leaven from your houses... ‘... but¹... – serves to divide.’²

And He swore to eliminate them with His hand¹², which is the fourteenth day of the month of the Paschal sacrifice, to fulfil: (Mic. 7:15) Like the days of your going out from the land of Egypt, I shall show him wonders. [And this is the 7 days of Passover of the first exile, and the 7 days of Passover of the last exile] It is this that is written: (Num. 28:17) ... a festival of seven days, unleavened bread shall be eaten.

And because of this: ‘On the evening¹ of the fourteenth, one checks for leaven with the light of a candle,’² and this is the light of the candle, which is Torah and precept, of which it is stated: (Prov. 6:23) For a candle is precept and Torah is light...

footnotes: ¹ aur ² Mishnah Pesaḥim 1:1

A candle in the heart, light in the eyes – which is the light of the candle. Through fear and love in YaH, darkness and blackness are removed from Them, and because of this: (Is. 63:4) For a day of revenge is in My heart...

And furthermore:... in My heart – this is the 32¹¹ occurrences of ELQYM in the act of creation, and the ten utterances, which are the Yod²³ of LiBiY¹³.

footnotes: ¹ lev ¹ heart ² י ³ 10 ¹ My-heart ³ 32

And the meaning of ‘heart’: this is the heart, through which shines that of which it is stated: (Ex. 2:2) ... and she saw him that he was good... * *and through which the blessed Holy One is destined to reveal to Moses, in the Torah in the final exile, just like the first redemption, of which it is stated: (Ex. 3:2) And an angel of Ha-Shem appeared to him, in the ‘LaBaT¹¹ ’ of fire...

And this is BaT¹ from Be-REiShYT, which is comprised of: ‘ten utterances’, and ‘32 of ELQYM’ of the act of creation.

footnotes: ¹ daughter

The daughter¹ comprised of 10 utterances, is ‘the daughter of the eye’ – the pupil, which is black, of which it is stated: (Song. 1:5) *I am black and beautiful, *and light shines through it.

footnotes: ¹ BaT

It is this that is written: (Prov. 6:23) ... and Torah is light.

The 32 of ELQYM – precept¹ shines through it, of which it is stated: (Prov. 20:27) A candle of Y”Y is the soul of a human... etc.

footnotes: ¹ mitzvah

Here is missing, and it is in the Tiqqunim of Zohar Ḥadash 26a.

And the wings of the Shekhinah, are ‘the covering of the blood of beast and bird’, for She covers over them in mercy, and when She covers over them in the mercy of love, the waters of the flood do not rule over them, – the (Song. 8:7) Many waters – of the waters of the flood, ... will not be able to extinguish the love – of Israel, for their Father Who is in heaven.

At that time, the throne shall be upon four ḥayot¹, and this is: shophar holekh², re-vi’a²¹, the cantillation note darga² is six levels¹, which are: (1 King. 10:19) *Six steps to the throne *– behold then He is the King upon the throne.

At that time: (Gen. 27:4) *And make delicacies for me as I have loved... *– from the positive precepts, that were given from love, and not from the negative precepts, which he, the appointed one of Esau, offers to me, by which to accuse Israel, because of which it is stated: (Mal. 1:3) ... and Esau did I hate...

And this is: the cantillation notes darga¹ and trei ta’amei¹, for from the aspect of the negative precepts, the appointed one of Esau is ‘lying down’² upon Israel, and it is ascending in level² over them.

footnotes: ¹ ֧ ¹ ֦ ² ravi’a ² darga

And should you say that it rules over the Shekhinah, Who is with them in exile,¹ behold the verse states: (Is. 42:8) I am Y”Y, That is My Name, and My glory I shall not give to another, nor My praise to idols.

footnotes: ¹ BT Megillah 29a

... and My glory...– the Higher Shekhinah, ... I shall not give to another...– another god, ...nor My praise to idols – this is the Lower Shekhinah.

And therefore, in the six days of the rule of ‘the poison of death’ Samael, – another god – it is stated of the Shekhinah: (Ez. 46:1) *... it will be closed for the six working days... *On the Sabbath and New Moons, when the evil agents do not rule, it is stated of them [Var. of Her]: ...and on the Sabbath day it will be opened, and on the New Moon it will be opened.

And furthermore: the cantillation note re-vi’a¹ is like this: כּ, and sometimes like this: – the daughter of the King inside, locked in the house. And She is the holy moon, upon which never gazes, the sun of evil, –gehinom², the poison of death, the evil female – how much more so ‘another god’.

footnotes: ¹ ֗ ² ‘hell’

For thus have the earlier-sages established:¹ ‘The sun has never seen the defect of the moon’, for when the sun emerges [it emerges ] from the east, the moon turns her face away from it, like this: .

footnotes: ¹ BT Rosh HaShanah 23b

And because of this, Balaam the wicked said: (Num. 23:21) He has not seen sin in Jacob, nor has He seen perversity in Israel, – ‘perversity and sin’ are Samael and snake.

And when they oppress Her so-as-to look upon Her, She is self-concealed from everything. And when does this happen? In the seventh month. It is this that is written: (Ps. 81:4) Blow the ram’s horn on the New Moon, on the appointed time for the day of our festival. What is... on the appointed time¹ ? In the month in which the moon is self-concealed¹.
