95) “He has scattered, he has given to the poor; his righteousness stands forever; his horn shall be exalted in honor.” Scattering means, as you say, “There is one who scatters and is added more.” Since he gives this scattering to the poor, he should be blessed and be added in everything, in wealth and in life.
96) What is “Is added”? A place where there is death, meaning Malchut, causes him to add in the life above, extend from there and add life to him. The text testifies that anyone who gives charity awakens the tree of life, ZA, to add life to the tree of death, Malchut. Then there is life and joy above, in Malchut, and the man who caused it by giving charity—in time of need—that tree of life stands over him and that tree of death protects him. This is why more is added to him.
97) “His righteousness stands forever.” Righteousness stands over a person to give him life and sustenance. As he gives life to the poor and the upper life awakens because of him, he, too, is given life. And those two trees, ZA and Malchut, stand over him to save him and to add life to him.
98) “His horn shall be exalted in honor.” The horn is Malchut; “Shall be exalted” means by the honor of above, Bina. Malchut rises through the illumination of Bina because by the charity he has given, that person caused ZA and Malchut to unite together and to pour out blessings above and below.
99) At any time when the tabernacle is erected, when Malchut mates with ZA, in people’s actions, that day is a day of everyone’s joy and the oil of the anointment of holiness is poured through these candles in the Sefirot of Malchut, and they all shine. And he who causes it causes himself to be saved in this world and to have life in the next world, and “Righteousness delivers from death.” And it is written, “But the light of the righteous is as the light of dawn, that shines more and more unto the perfect day.”
