572) “And unto Moses He said.” Divinity said, “Go up to the Lord,” as it is written, “And Moses went up to the God,” to establish a covenant with them because they were avenged for not having gone out of Egypt. At that time they were circumcised but not exposed, and here they were already circumcised and entered into the ark of the covenant, as it is written, “There He made for them a statute and an ordinance,” meaning circumcision and exposing, “And there He tested him” with the holy token that appeared in them. And here their making of the covenant came true in them through Moses, as it is written, “And Moses took the blood and threw it on the people.”
573) “And he threw half of the blood on the altar.” It does not write, “In the altar,” since an altar is Malchut, and the making of the covenant is in Yesod. “On the altar” implies Yesod, which is above Malchut. “And you shall bow at a distance,” as it is written, “The Lord appeared to me from afar.” It is also written, “His sister stood at a distance.” That is, the moon, Malchut, was diminished, and this is why it is written, “And you shall bow at a distance.” And at that time Israel were rewarded with more of the holy part and the making of the holy covenant with the Creator.
574) “And unto Moses He said, ‘go up to the Lord.’” Divinity told him, “Go up, for I and Israel will partake in the wholeness through you, which was not so thus far.” It is written, “And Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins,” dividing it into two, as is done when making a covenant. Half of the blood he threw on the people, and half of the blood he threw on the altar, Yesod. It is written, “Behold the blood of the covenant which the Lord has made with you.”
575) “And Moses alone shall approach the Lord.” Happy is Moses for he alone was rewarded with what no one else was rewarded. Now Israel have been rewarded that which they were not rewarded until that time. At that time, they existed in a high and holy existence, and at that time they were told that there would be a Temple among them, “And they will make Me a Temple that I may dwell among them.”
576) “And they saw the God of Israel, and under His feet there appeared to be a pavement of sapphire.” “Your stature is like a palm tree.” How favored is the Assembly of Israel by the Creator? She does not part from Him like that date, where the male never parts from the female and they do not rise without each other. Similarly, the Assembly of Israel does not part from the Creator.
577) When Nadav and Avihu and seventy elders saw, it is written, “And they saw the God of Israel,” meaning that Divinity appeared to them. “The,” when it is written, “The God of,” indicates that it is from afar. “The” includes all that there is within it, that they saw what was inside Divinity.
578) It is written, “This is the animal that I saw in the river Chebar.” What is this animal? It is a small animal, Malchut, and a high animal, in HGT, from Chazeh de ZA and above. And the smallest of the animals, which is an animal in the world of Yetzira.
