182) “And I will remember My covenant with Jacob, and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.” When Israel are in exile, the Creator is with them, seemingly, in exile. It is so because the Shechina never moves from them. When Israel were in exile in Babylon, the Shechina was among them. She returned from the exile with them, and thanks to those righteous who remained in the land, she was in the land and never moved from them. And then the queen returned to the king, and all went back to being at the king’s feast of joy. For this reason, they were called “members of the great assembly.” Indeed, the great assembly, for Malchut, who is called, “assembly,” has returned from her Katnut in the exile and became big.
183) Any time when Israel are in exile, if they are worthy, the Creator rushes to have mercy on them and bring them out of exile. If they are not worthy, He detains them in exile for the entire time that was sentenced. And when it is time and they are not worthy of being redeemed, the Creator watches out for the honor of His name and does not forget them in exile, as it is written, “And I will remember My covenant with Jacob, and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham will I remember,” who are the fathers of everything, HGT, the holy name, HaVaYaH, since He watches out for the honor of His name.
184) What is the reason that Jacob is written first here, as it is written, “And I will remember My covenant with Jacob,” then Isaac, and then Abraham? It is so because Jacob, Tifferet, is the inclusion of the patriarchs, since Tifferet includes within it Hesed and Gevura, which are called Abraham and Isaac. He is the holy tree, ZA, which includes all the VAK. This is why Vav in the holy name HaVaYaH clings to him, and so we call him Jacob, with a Vav.
Vav filled with its letters is thirteen in Gematria, the thirteen qualities of Rachamim. Jacob, ZA, inherits thirteen fountains of the blocked and holy fountain, AA. From his Dikna extend thirteen corrections to ZA, who is called Jacob. This is why Jacob is written with a Vav.
