475) In seventy voices does the doe, Divinity, place her head between her knees. Her head is the righteous, foundation of the world. Between her knees means NH, and he swears to her in the righteous to redeem her children in the morning, which is a lion, Hesed. The morning is Abraham’s right, Hesed, Messiah Son of David, who comes out of Judah. It is written about him, “Judah is a lion’s cub.” This is why it is written, “As the Lord lives, lie down until the morning,” until the arrival of the Messiah Son of David, a lion—morning, light of Hesed.
476) In it, “Who caused His glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses,” since Tifferet, the degree of Moses, Guf, includes the six Sefirot HGT NHY, and Hesed is his right arm. Moses connects to the name AB, Hesed, Abraham’s degree. It is so because AB (72) calculates as four times Hay (18) [Het–Yod, “living”]. Hay calculates as three times six, Vav, which are the acronym of the three verses “And journeyed,” “And came,” “And pitched.” This is the name AB in the three primary branches, HGT.
“And journeyed” is Hesed, “And came” is Gevura, and “And pitched” is Tifferet. They are three times Hay that were tied to Moses’ Shin, in which there are also three branches, three faces: lion, ox, and eagle. It is written about them, “All four had the face of a lion on the right, and all four had the face of an ox on the left, and the four had the face of an eagle,” which are HGT. MA from Moses is “Each had the face of a man,” Malchut, since Adam [man] is MA in Gematria (45). This is the fourth Hay [living], “As the Lord lives, lie down until the morning,” where through the morning light, the fourth Hay, Malchut, would be complemented, and complementing the name AB, which includes the four times Hay in the four faces of the Merkava [chariot/assembly], implied in Moses’ Shin and in Moses’ MA.
477) In the left arm, Gevura, we learn, “The left rejects and the right draws closer.” Even though he moved the time of redemption earlier, to the month of Tishrey, since Tishrey is the left of the months, it will postpone the redemption so that Messiah Son of Ephraim will not die in the Dinim of the left.
Messiah Son of Ephraim is an incarnation of Jeroboam, of whom there are complaints because he sinned and made the public sinners. This is why he delayed it from Tishrey, left, until the right, Pesach [Passover] would approach, meaning the right arm, Hesed. At that time they will be redeemed, to keep the verse, “As in the days when you came out of Egypt, I will show him wonders.” They were redeemed in Nissan, and they are destined to be redeemed in Nissan, “‘And with superior grace I will have compassion over you,’ says the Lord your Redeemer.”
478) Afterwards, they all take from Gevura, from whom comes Messiah Son of Ephraim, who comes to avenge his enemies, for so should the crop—which is Israel, in the right—be cleaned first, and then to burn the straw in the left. It is written about it, “Then the house of Jacob will be a fire and the house of Joseph a flame, but the house of Esau will be as stubble. And they will set them on fire and consume them.” The gathering of the crop is in the middle pillar, in which it is written, “And was gathered,” meaning gathered into the house, to Divinity.
479) However, in the degree of Messiah Son of Joseph, it is written, “Now this horde will lick up all that is around us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field.” Messiah Son of Joseph is called “an ox.” It is written about them, “When wicked flourish like grass.” Redemption will be from Passover to Tishrey, which is called “until.” From then on will be their ruin, until the arrival of Tishrey, which is an ox, and in it, “As the ox licks up the grass” will come true.
480) During the exile Israel is supported by the right, which is a lion, Hesed. But their rising, redemption, is in the body of the tree, ZA, as we learn, “All who kneel, kneel in ‘Blessed,’” which is Tzadik, Yesod, as it is written about the righteous Joseph, “And behold, your sheaves gathered around and bowed down to my sheaf.” This is the meaning of “As the Lord lives, lie down until the morning,” as since they are considered kneeling and lying, they need support in Hassadim from Yesod, and all who arise, arise in the name, in the degree of Moses above, meaning Daat, and Moses below, meaning Tifferet. In him will all of Israel rise as the organs of the body, in which all are upright when he stands. By that, “All who arise, arise in the name.” It is written about it, “And I have known you by name.”
481) Messiah Son of David, a lion, Hesed, will be to the right of Moses; Messiah Son of Joseph, an ox, Gevura, to his left; and they are three lines. On the right is Abraham, Hesed; on the left is Isaac, Gevura; and Moses, an eagle, Tifferet, is in the middle. Their chain, meaning the three lines, which are called “chain,” is from the side of Jacob, which are the three lines included in Jacob, Tifferet. Also, they are the Shin of Moses, which implies to the three lines included in Moses, the middle line, Daat.
They will triple the Kedusha [holiness] for you, meaning that each line consists of the three of them. On the part of the lion, Hesed, there are three faces of the patriarchs, HGT, and all three are called “lions.” The morning is from the three faces included in the left, and all three are called “goring bulls.” The three faces included in the middle pillar—Moses and Jacob—are called “eagles.” It is written about them, “And I bore you on wings of eagles, and I brought you to Me.”
It follows that the three lines are nine, where each consists of three, and the tenth, or the fourth to the three general lines, is man, who is MA in the name, Moses, who rides on the three animals, lion, ox, and eagle. These are the three branches of the Shin in Moses’ name.
482) It is written about Israel, “And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,” meaning the appointees at sea on the part of the serpent, Egypt’s minister who expanded in the last exile “From sea to sea.” “And over the fowl of the air” means evil mixture, from giant Amaleks, a mixture of all the nations in the last exile, on each side—whether in Israel, whether in Ishmael, or whether in Esau. “And over the beast” are the sons of Esau, who govern the whole earth.
483) And the verse, “May he also rule from sea to sea and from the River to the ends of the earth,” will come true in the Messiah. So it is in the two Messiahs and so it is in Israel. It is all by merit of Moses’ MA, the face of a man. And the banner of the Messiah Son of David will come from Yehuda with a lion inscribed on it, and the banner of the Messiah Son of Joseph with an ox is inscribed on it, and the banner of Shiloh, who is Moses, which is Shiloh in Gematria.
A lion is to the right, an ox to the left, and an eagle in the middle, since Moses is the eagle, the middle line that comprises right and left. Man is above all of them, for in each of the three faces a man is included in it. There are four faces to each of the three animals, four tribes, in each of which are three animals—lion, ox, and eagle—which are twelve. With the face of a man, whose name is MA because man [Adam] is MA in Gematria, they will be Moses’ sons, so that “And I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they” will come true in Moses. Then MA [that which] was is what will be. Moses, a redeemer in Egypt, is a redeemer for the future. Also, “That which is to be has already been,” for the two Messiahs, Son of Joseph and the Son of David have already been because there were already Joseph and David.
484) “For God seeks what has been pursued,” Israel, of whom it is written, “And you are My sheep, the sheep of My pasture, you are men,” since they were pursued by the mixed multitude, the evil wolves. Thus, “Benjamin is a ravenous wolf,” he preys on them. And at that time, “In the morning he devours the prey” until Shiloh comes, meaning Moses. The morning means Abraham’s morning, Hesed. In the morning, when the great Hesed appears, the prey will appear, Moses. “And in the evening he divides the spoil,” meaning the evening of Isaac, Malchut that is built from the left line, where there are the two Messiahs—on her right is the Messiah Son of David, and on her left is the Messiah Son of Joseph. In one, he will eat and destroy the appointees of the nations of the world, from the house of Joseph, and in one he will dispense them to Israel, who are from the house of David.
485) Israel are a doe being chased by the wicked, who are lions. Naphtali, who is “A doe let loose; he gives beautiful words,” will awaken. He will awaken in the right, lion, the Messiah Son of David, as it is written, “Judah is a lion’s cub; from the prey, my son, you have gone up,” and will return on the nations of the world. “He crouches, he lies down” to prey on them. “Who will rouse him?” “Who” is another god that at that time will rouse him and not let him prey on them, or a nation and a tongue that can rouse him off preying on them.
486) Israel are as a dove that is hunted by the eagle, who is from the side of the birds of the nations of the world. At that time, the eagle of Kedusha [holiness] will awaken and spread his wings on the mixture of the nations and Esau and Ishmael, who are Amaleks and the evil mixture of Israel. He will devour them, and none of them will remain, to keep what is written about Israel: “The Lord alone guided him and there was no foreign god with him.”
487) Henceforth, they do not accept foreigners, as we learn that no foreigners are accepted in the days of the Messiah, and the Creator will arouse an animal of a man to govern the nations of the world that will remain. It is so to keep in them the verse, “For the nation and the kingdom that will not serve You will perish,” and to keep in Israel, “And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the beast.” “And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth.”
488) On the part of the crops, there are five kinds of bread that are more ground than all of them by threshing and grinding. These are wheat, barley, buckwheat, oats, and rye. He compared them to Israel, as it is written, “Israel are holiness to the Lord, the first of His harvest.” It writes “His harvest” with a Hey [instead of the usual Vav], indicating five kinds of bread. When Israel come out of the exile they will be broken until the food is sorted from the waste, the straw, which is the mixed multitude, until Israel among them are sorted and recognized, when they have been sorted from the chaff and straw.
489) And until the Yod in the name HaVaYaH—which implies to the tithing—is sorted from them, He will not be on the Hey de HaVaYaH, which indicates the bread of five kinds, to keep the oath, “The hand upon the throne of the Lord,” which he swore, for the Name is incomplete and the throne is incomplete before the seed of Amalek is destroyed. Hence, there is no obligation to tithe chaff and straw until they are sorted.
After Israel are sorted, they gather unto a place called “Jerusalem,” like the wheat, which is placed in the treasury once the straw and chaff have been sorted from it. Similarly, Israel will gather, meaning the crop, unto Jerusalem, which is built on the mountain of the Lord, and of which it is written, “Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord, and who shall stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands.” Clean means like grains, a harvest after he sorted the food from the waste. “Kiss the grain,” as before, in which it is written, “Will kiss me from the kiss of his mouth.” “Grain” means a son, for at that time they will already be cleansed from straw and chaff, His name will be on them, and He will call them, “My son, My firstborn, Israel.”
490) Thus, of all the trees, there is no tree as broken as the vine. It is broken in its planting, for it has no strength to stand, but lies on the ground. It is broken in its grapes, which are crushed under the feet. And so is the olive; its olives are crushed.
In the exile, Israel are akin to them, as it is written, “You removed a vine from Egypt.” Also, it is written of the fourth exile, “For the house of Israel is the vineyard of the Lord of hosts. Similarly, Israel are akin to an olive, as it is written, “A fresh olive tree, beautiful in fruit and form.” This is why it is written, “Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine within your house, your sons as olive plants,” close to one another since Israel are as broken as they are in the exile.
491) And once the grapes and the olives are cleaned from any waste, they will be sanctified to the Temple—wine for pouring on the altar—and olives to light the candles of the Menorah. Wine that is not poured for idol worship is rewarded with this, since the mixed multitude are wine that was poured for idol worship, and of those, various infidels are converted, converted into transgressions in the whole of the Torah.
492) It is written about Israel that they will mingle with the nations and learn their works. And until they are stamped on by their feet in exile they will not be sorted out from among them. It is about them that David said, “Why should I fear in days of adversity, the iniquity of my foes surrounds me.” Solomon said about them, “Go now by the footsteps of the flock,” by the footsteps of the letters in Jacob, of whom it is written in regard to the primordial serpent who seduced Eve, “He shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel.” After they went out of the exile they were akin to apples and to any good fragrance, as in the exodus from Egypt, where it is written about them, “Under the apple tree I woke you.”
