The shophar¹ is Higher Shekhinah – its ‘blast’¹ is the Lower Shekhinah, of which it is stated: (Gen. 32:26) And the thigh socket of Jacob was dislocated¹ * *– in exile.

The cymbals – are Ḥesed and Gevurah, (Ps. 150:5) the resonant cymbals– are Netzaḥ and Hod. And in all of them: (Ps. 150:6) *Every soul shall praise YaQ *– which is Ḥokhmah and Binah, through whom will be redemption ‘for him’¹ and ‘for her’¹, who are Son and Daughter.

Another word: (Gen. 27:4) *And make delicacies for me such as I have loved *– from the performance of positive precepts, and not such as I hate, from the transgression of negative precepts.

Negative precepts are derived from ‘the fear of awe’, and they exist to distance the Satan from them, so that he does not approach the throne – which is the heart, for he prosecutes judgement over the holy limbs which are Israel, and the heart – the Shekhinah – is among them.

The Satan is Samael, his dominion is in the liver, about which it is stated: (Gen. 36:1) ... Esau is Edom. The veins of the liver are its hosts and camps, and the liver takes all the defilements and sins of the veins. It is this that is written: (Lev. 16:22) *And the goat will carry upon it, all ‘their sins’*¹ , to an uninhabited land... ‘their sins’ is composed of ’avonot tam¹, of that: (Gen. 25:27) perfect¹ manJacob – to an uninhabited¹ land (Lev. 16:22) – that place of: (Dan. 4:14) the decree¹ of the watchful-ones.

The gall bladder is hell¹, and it has two ‘piyot’¹¹ which say: ‘give, give!’ It is this that is written: (Prov. 30:15) *The leech has two daughters: ‘give and give’... *– two daughters who say: ‘give over the wicked to gehinom¹’.²

There are seventy veins in the liver, corresponding to ‘the seventy appointed-ones’ – and the liver and the extra lobe of the liver, are 72. Its extra lobe is the snake, ‘the wife of whoring’, because its [Var. her] leftovers are taken by the spleen which is darkness, and upon it is stated: (Gen. 1:5) *... and the darkness He called ‘night’*¹ ..., for her dominion is in exile – which is night.

And in exile, the hour stands for it, for she is Lylyt – the mother of the mixed multitude, and she is the ‘laughter of the fool’, [Var. the spleen] and because of her it is stated: (Job 7:9) As the cloud has finished and gone, so one who has descended to she-ol will not rise. And this is: ‘the more righteous than he it swallows’.

For of a completely wicked person, who is a fool, it is stated: (Ḥab. 1:13) Why do you look upon traitors, and are silent, when the wicked-one swallows him who is more righteous than he? And the Masters of the Mishnah have established:¹ ‘one who is relatively more righteous than him, he swallows, but a completely righteous person he does not swallow’. And because of him it is stated: (1 Sam. 2:6) ... who takes down to she-ol and raises-up.

Her enemies were in comfort...– these are Esau and Yishmael, (Lam. 1:5) and the seventy appointed-ones, who are all in comfort, in wealth, while Israel is oppressed in poverty.

And because of this, woe to the world, when they Israel are swallowed-up in the evil mixture. And what caused it, that they were swallowed-up in their bowels, such that: (Gen. 41:21) and it was not known that they had come into them? It is because of the evil deeds in their hands, it is this that is written: (Ps. 106:35) And they became mixed up among the nations, and they learnt their deeds.
