38) After the death of Aaron’s sons, Moses asked the Creator for Hesed [grace/mercy]. Moses said, “If the people in the world repent before You, by whom will they be blessed?” The Creator replied, “And you are telling Me? Speak to your brother Aaron, for the blessings above and below are given to him, as he is a Merkava [assembly/chariot] for Hesed.”
39) There are times for finding favor in the Creator, for finding blessings, and for making pleas. And there are times when there is no favor, blessings do not come, and harsh Dinim awaken in the world. And sometimes the Din persists.
There are times in the year when the favor is present, and times in the year when the Din is present. There are times in the year when the Din is present and persists and threatens the world, although it is not active. There are times in the month when there is favor, and times when Dinim are present and hang over everything.
40) There are times in the week when there is favor, and there are times in the week when there are Dinim in the world. There are times in days when the favor is present in the world and the world is perfumed, and there are days when Dinim persist and exist. There are different times even in an hour.
This is why it is written, “And a time for every will under the heaven.” And it is written, “And I, my prayer for You, O Lord, is a time of favor.” And it is written, “Seek the Lord when He is found.” It is also written, “Why do You stand far, O Lord, and hide in times of trouble?” And it is written, “From afar the Lord appeared to me?” Sometimes He is near, as it is written, “The Lord is near to all who call upon Him.” This is why it is written, “Speak to Aaron your brother, and let him not come to the holy place at all times.”
41) “A word in its time, how good it is.” Here the Creator comes to warn Aaron from erring in the same iniquities his sons had made. That “time” is Malchut. This is why he will not err in connecting another time to the king, as it is written, “and let him not come to the holy place at all times.” That is, although the “time” sees that it was given to another, to the Sitra Achra, to lead the world, she will be given in his hands in order to unite and bring the world closer to the holy, for I and My name are one, meaning that the Sitra Achra, too, is only serving Me.
And for this reason, “and let him not come to the holy place at all times.” And he will come in “this,” which is Malchut de Kedusha, as it is written, “By this, Aaron will come to the holy place,” since “this” is a time that grips to My name, in Yod, which is Yesod, inscribed in My name. In it he will come to the holy place, and let him not come at all times.
42) It is written, “He has made every thing beautiful in its time.” “Everything” is Yesod. “Made everything beautiful in its time,” in Malchut, called “time.” One in the other, and they will not mingle others among them. “In its time” is in Malchut, and not in another. This is why it is a warning to Aaron. “And let him not come to the holy place at all times.” With what will he come? With “this,” with Malchut, as it is written, “By this, Aaron will come to the holy place.”
43) It is written in the Korah congregation, “And the earth covered them, and they perished from among the assembly.” What is, “And they perished”? It is written, “And I will destroy that soul from among its people.” The sons of Aaron are different from the congregation of Korah, since no destruction is written in regard to them, as with the congregation of Korah, of whom it is written, “And they perished from among the assembly.” It is also written, “Behold, we perish, we are lost, we are all lost.” It includes the 250 people who offered the incense. They were lost, and the sons of Aaron were not lost.
44) It is written, “And let him not come to the holy place at all times.” It is also written, “By this, Aaron will come to the holy place.” It should have written that in the tenth of the month he would come to the holy place. But it is written, “By this … will come,” and did not specify the time.
“Time” and “this” are both names of Malchut that the priests knew. But regarding the sins that the sons of Aaron sinned, the Creator wanted to warn so he would not blemish “this,” Malchut, as his sons did.
