279) “You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings” with mercy. It is written about it, “Like an eagle that stirs up its nest.” An eagle indicates Rachamim [mercy], as it is written, “The way of an eagle in the sky,” with Rachamim. ZA is called “sky,” and he is the owner of the Rachamim because HGT is Hesed, Din, and Rachamim. Like an eagle that has mercy over his sons and Din [judgment] for others, the Creator has Rachamim for Israel and Din for idol-worshipping nations.
280) It is written, “All four had the face of a lion on the right and the face of an ox on the left, and all four had the face of an eagle.” A lion is on the right, and an ox is on the left. In which place is the eagle?
281) In the place where Jacob is, in the middle line, because an eagle comprises everything, Rachamim and Din: Rachamim for its sons and Din for others. So is the Creator, the middle line: leading Israel with Rachamim, and others with Din, as it is written, “I bore you on eagles’ wings,” and as it is written, “Like an eagle that stirs up its nest.”
282) How do we know that an eagle is Rachamim? It is written, “The way of an eagle in the sky.” ZA is the owner of the sky. Hence, a lion is to the right, an ox is to the left, and an eagle is in the middle, between them, comprising both. Man’s face comprises all of them, and all are included in him, for he is Malchut who receives from everyone, as it is written, “And upon the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man upon him from above.”
