224) “And it came to pass, before he concluded speaking, that, behold, Rebecca came out.” It writes, “Came out,” but it should have said, “Came,” as it is written, “Rachel his daughter comes.” This indicates that the Creator took her out from the town’s people, who were all wicked. And Rebecca came out and parted from the rest of the people in the city because she was righteous. “And she went down to the fountain” is written with a Hey [in the word fountain in Hebrew, which is unusual]. This was because the well of Miriam appeared to her there, meaning Nukva de ZA when she shines in illumination of Hochma. This is why Ha’ina [fountain] is written with a Hey, implying to the Nukva, the bottom Hey of HaVaYaH. Also, Ha’ina comes from the word Eynaim [eyes], which is the name of Hochma. And the waters rose toward Rebecca.
225) “Behold, Rebecca came out.” It is written, “And the daughters… of the city come out to draw water.” Why does it say, “Come out” and not “Go” or “Come”? It is because they were hidden all day and would come out to draw water in the evening. And the servant made it a sign for himself.
This is so because illumination of Hochma appears only at night, as it is written, “She rises while it is still night.” This is why she is considered to be from that illumination, for she hides during the day and appears at night. This is so because day is ZA, which shines in Hassadim that are covered from Hochma, like upper AVI. And the illumination of Hochma appears only in the Nukva, without ZA. When the Nukva is alone, without ZA, it is darkness and not light, meaning night. Hence, the Nukva reveals her illumination only during the night and not during the day.
It is written, “At evening time, the time when women go out to draw water.” This is so because Ha’ina [fountain] is written with a Hey, which is the name of the Nukva when she shines in illumination of Hochma. Hence, the women come out to draw the waters of Hochma from her only in the evening when the day has set, since before that, she hides and does not shine.
It is written that since the women who draw water cling to the degree of the Nukva, they hide during the day, like her, and appear only at night to draw the waters of Hochma from her. And it is written that the servant made it a sign for himself when he said, “And the daughters… of the city come out to draw water.” This means that they appear only at night, like the upper Nukva, and then he knew that they were fitting and that he would find Isaac’s mate among them.
226) When the servant arrived in Haran and found Rebecca in the evening, it was then time for the afternoon prayer. At that time, when Isaac came to pray the afternoon prayer, at that very time the servant came to Rebecca. Also, at the time when Isaac came to the afternoon prayer again, as before, Rebecca came to him, as it is written, “And Isaac went out to meditate in the field in the evening.” This was so that everything would be in its proper place, as it should be, for everything extends with wisdom.
This is why the servant came to the well of water, since Isaac is the left line of ZA, whose correction begins in the evening, at the time of the afternoon prayer. Hence, both the finding of Rebecca and the coming of Rebecca to him were at the time when his dominion began, at the time of the afternoon prayer. Also, this is why at that time the servant came to the well of water, which is the Nukva when she shines from the left line of ZA.
