740) It is written, “Rebuke the animal of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples.” “Rebuke the animal” is the animal to which Esau clung. “Of the reeds” because on the day that Solomon took Pharaoh’s daughter, Gabriel came and stuck a reed in the sea, and the city of Rome was built on it.
This reed is the male of that evil animal to which Esau clung, who has a small side in the unity of holiness, and this is the reed that Gabriel stuck in the great sea. And this is why she rules the world. It is written about that governance, “The reeds and flags shall wither.” The reed is the governance and head of all the kingships. It is called a “reed” because the Creator is destined to break it like that reed.
Lilit and SAM are called “the animal of the reeds.” They are the male and female of the Klipa and Esau clings to them. The male of Klipa is like a median between holiness and Klipa, since the male, called “reed,” grips to the holy Malchut, and the impure Nukva, called “animal,” Hochma de Klipa, clings to it.
The reed is the male of that evil animal to which Esau—who has a small side in the unity of holiness—gripped, since the male grips to the holy Malchut. This is the reed that Gabriel stuck in the great sea. The great sea is the Malchut, and the reed, the male of Klipa, is stuck inside it.
741) That animal of the reeds governs in Egypt, and from it, several types of governments emerge, all of which are leaven. When the Creator broke it, He removed the Hametz [leaven] and instilled the Matza.
With a small and thin thread, He broke the Het of Hametz and created the letters of Matza [in Hametz there is a Het () and in Matza, a Hey ()]. He broke the Het of Haya [animal], called Hametz, hence it is called “animal of the reeds,” because it is as easy to break as a reed. And it broke with a thread as thin as hair. He broke the Het and removed its strength and it became a Matza. This is why it is written, “Rebuke the animal of the reeds,” since the Creator rebuked it and the Het of the Hametz broke and became a Hey.
742) The Creator is destined to break that reed. Similarly, He will break the leg of the Kof [] from Kanneh [reed], leaving Hinneh [here/behold], as it is written, “Behold, the Lord God will come as a Mighty One, and His arm will rule for Him; behold, His reward is with Him, and His act is before Him.” His act is the act in the Kof, breaking its leg and shifting the leg of the Kof of Kanneh to become Hinneh, as it is written, “A harbinger unto Zion will I give: ‘Behold, behold them.’”
The animal of the reeds is male and female of Klipa that grip to the left without right and extend the Hochma of the left from above downward. This blocks the channels of Malchut because the reed, the male of Klipa, grips to the Malchut.
Hametz is an animal, Nukva de Klipa. To open the channels of bounty in Malchut, the reed and the animal of Klipa must be broken. They cover the lights of Malchut, reducing the GAR of the left, and the beast of the reeds will have no nourishment from them and they will be separated from the Malchut. Then the channels of bounty in Malchut open.
This is considered breaking the leg of the Het of Hametz, which is the animal of Klipa, since the breaking of NHY de Kelim cause concealment of GAR of lights, and the Hametz returns to being a Matza that is kept for its owner, where the abundance of Hochma does not shine in her, but in VAK de Hochma, from below upward. This is because then there is no nourishment for the animal of the reeds and she is kept for ZA, her husband.
It is also considered that the leg of the Kof broke from the Kanneh, which is the male of Klipa that was stuck in Malchut. And the Kanneh was made into Hinneh, as it is written, “Behold, His reward is with Him,” since once the leg of the Kof has been broken, the reward of the righteous appears.
He broke the letter Het of Haya [animal], called “leaven.” That is, He reduced the GAR of the left, and thus the leg of the Het of Hametz broke. However, it is possible to carry out this diminution by revealing the lock, Malchut of the quality of judgment, which is a great force that diminishes her from VAK de Hochma, even from extending Hochma from below upward.
She can be diminished by revealing the key, at which time the Hochma is diminished only from GAR and remains in VAK. With the thinnest and finest thread, the key, a small diminution, He broke the Het of Hametz, turning the letters of Hametz into Matza and leaving only VAK de Hochma in her, called Matza, since its diminution was not hard, in the form of the key.
Along with breaking the leg of the Het of Hametz, the female of Klipa, the leg of the Kof of Kanneh was broken, too, the male of Klipa. It is similar to breaking the leg from the Kof in Kanneh [reed], leaving Hinneh [behold]. This separates the Kanneh from Malchut and Malchut remains kept alone, since Malchut is called Hinneh, as it is written, “Behold, the Lord God will come as a Mighty One, and His arm will rule for Him; behold, His reward is with Him, and His act is before Him.”
This is so because after the Kanneh was broken and separated from Malchut, the channels of abundance opened in Malchut and the reward for the righteous appeared. It is written about that, “His reward is with Him, and His act is before Him,” since the breaking of the leg of the Kof is as is written, “His act is before Him.” This is so because the reward and the act of diminution of GAR come together, since the GAR is called “face,” and the act of diminution in GAR is considered an act in His face; hence, “His act is before Him.” And then, “A harbinger unto Zion will I give: ‘Behold, behold them” will come true.
743) “Rebuke the animal of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples.” “Rebuke the animal” is the reed to which Esau gripped, which is the great city of Rome. Gabriel sticking the reed in the great sea means that the reed clung to Malchut, called “the great sea,” and on it, a great city, Rome, was built—the government of Esau.
This reed is called “leaven.” When redemption comes to Israel that reed will be broken, as it is written, “Rebuke the animal of the reeds, the multitude,” and the leaven that extends from the reed will immediately vanish from the world along with its Mahmetzet [leaven], his female, which is the city of Rome. At that time, the Matza will appear in the world, the Temple—of the first Temple and the second Temple, Bina and Malchut.
744) The first Temple and the second Temple correspond to the apple of the right eye and the apple of the left eye. Those correspond to the great Rome and the small Rome, corresponding to two clouds that cover the apple of the eye on the right eye and on the left eye. And those correspond to sourdough and leaven. And as long as they are not obliterated from the world, neither of them should be seen or found, and the first Temple and the second Temple will not be able to appear in the world.
745) The cure for the clouds of the eye, which darken the apple of the right and left eyes, is the gall of a calf, as it is written, “There shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down.” “There shall the calf feed” is Messiah Son of Joseph, of whom it is written, “As the firstborn of his ox, majesty is his,” for the face of an ox is from the left. “And there shall he lie down” is Messiah Son of David.
The Messiah Son of David removes the great Rome, and the Messiah Son of Joseph removes the small Rome. Michael and Gabriel are opposite them—Michael is opposite the Messiah Son of David, and Gabriel is opposite Messiah Son of Joseph.
The great Rome and small Rome are two Klipot opposite the holy Bina and holy Malchut. They are two clouds, right and left, male and female, which darken the light of Hochma that extends from the apple of the eye. Also, they are the animal of the reeds that extends Hochma from above downward, and hence cover the lights of Malchut. The cure for that is to diminish the GAR of the left. Their cure is the gall of a calf because the gall is judgments of Nukva that diminish the GAR of the left.
746) For this reason the Het is a thin thread that breaks it and introduces the Hey in its stead, turning the Hametz into a Matza which is a Kanneh in the beginning and withers in the end. Kanneh is the government of Rome, which is the end of all the kings, which the Creator is destined to break.
“Rebuke the animal of the reeds” is rebuking the evil animal, the Het of Hametz, breaking its leg from the Het of Mahmetzet. It is written about it, “And her legs go down to death.”
Also, “Rebuke the animal of the reeds” means breaking the leg of the Kof from Kanneh and leaving the Hinneh. Promptly, “Behold, the Lord God will come as a Mighty One,” as it is written, “A harbinger unto Zion: ‘Behold, behold them. And to Jerusalem, I will give a messenger.” Hinneh [behold] is sixty in Gematria, meaning these writings will come true sixty [years] after 1,200.
