210) “The voice of the Lord makes the deer calve and strips forests bare.” It is read as “deer,” but it is written “deer” without a Vav [in Hebrew]. This is the morning star [in Hebrew: morning doe (or deer)]. Another interpretation: the doe of the field.
At midnight, when the Creator enters the Garden of Eden to play with the righteous, that voice, ZA, goes out and hurts all those does that surround the holy throne, Malchut, as it is written, “Sixty mighty men around it.”
“Makes the deer calve” is as it is written, “His hand has generated the slant serpent.” “Generated” means that He created and strengthened. Likewise, “Makes the deer calve” means that He strengthens the deer, who are the sixty mighty men. “And strips forests bare” is as it is written, “And dipped it in the honeycomb,” and it is written, “I ate my honeycomb with my honey.” And ZA, who is the voice of the Creator, nurses those sixty mighty men, called does, like a mother nursing her sons. This is why it is written, “The voice of the Lord makes the deer calve,” nursing and sustaining them.
It is so because at midnight, the middle line awakens with the force of the Masach de Hirik in it to diminish the GAR of the left and unify it with the right so as to be able to bestow the Hochma in it. At that time, the Creator, the middle line, enters the Garden of Eden, Malchut. For this reason, until midnight, before the middle line comes to diminish the GAR of the left, all of Malchut’s doors are blocked because although there is illumination of Hochma in them, they are blocked and cannot shine because the middle line has not yet included it with the right. This is why it illuminates only from midnight onward.
At midnight, when the Creator enters the Garden of Eden to play with the righteous, that voice, ZA, goes out and hurts all those does. The sixty mighty men are the left line of ZA at night, which is Malchut, and the illumination of Hochma in them cannot illuminate. At midnight, that voice, the middle line, comes out and hurts all those does, diminishing the GAR of the left, which hurts them. But by that the illumination of Hochma in them opens up because they can unite with the right. This is the meaning of what is written, “The voice of the Lord,” which is the middle line, “makes the deer calve,” hurting them, reducing the GAR in them in order to open the illumination of Hochma in them.
“Makes the deer calve” is as it is written, “His hand has generated the slant serpent.” “Generated,” since He creates the does, which are the left line in Malchut, for He prepares and opens the left line so the Hochma illuminates in it. This is regarded as though He creates the left. “And strips forests bare” is as it is written, “In the honeycomb,” since the Kelim de Achoraim that extend from the left line in Malchut are called “forests,” as they are false trees, which do not bear fruit, and the Dinim are in them. But as ZA unites the right and left with one another, He opens the illumination of Hochma in the left.
It follows that He reveals the Hochma in the forests. This is the meaning of “And strips forests bare.” The illumination of Hochma that appears from those forests is called “honey,” as it is written, “In the honeycomb,” and as it is also written, “I ate my honey with my honeycomb.” And ZA, the voice of the Creator, nurses those does like a mother nursing her sons, extending to them Hassadim, where by clothing in these Hassadim they can illuminate. This is why it is written, “The voice of the Lord makes the deer calve.” That suckling is regarded as though it creates them, for until now there was no illumination of Hochma in them because they were blocked.
