Psalms 41:4 “יְהוָה–יִסְעָדֶנּוּ, עַל-עֶרֶשׂ דְּוָי”
“YHVH support him upon the bed of illness”

The sages tell us that a person who visits the sick in his bed should not sit by his legs because the Shechina is by the head and the angel of death is by the feet.

If a person is righteous, then YHVH is by his head and the Shechina surrounds his body up to the feet. For Jacob it was said Genesis 49:33 “וַיְכַל יַעֲקֹב לְצַוֹּת אֶת-בָּנָיו, וַיֶּאֱסֹף רַגְלָיו אֶל-הַמִּטָּה; וַיִּגְוַע, וַיֵּאָסֶף אֶל-עַמָּיו ”
“And when Jacob made an end of charging his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and expired, and was gathered unto his people. ”

The bed is the aspect of the Shechina and when Jacob finished giving the blessings to his children, he raised his feet to the bed that is the aspect of the Shechina and his soul ascended to its place above.

Impure people have the angel of death surrounding their body from all directions with his sword waiting for the exact moment to separate the soul from the body.

Proverb 5:4
“וְאַחֲרִיתָהּ, מָרָה כַלַּעֲנָה; חַדָּה, כְּחֶרֶב פִּיּוֹת ”
“But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.”

Jacob was the first to be sick in the Torah. The sages told us that Jacob asked God to give him the opportunity to bless his son before leaving the world. We know that the passing day of a righteous person is when his energy and the light from all of his spiritual work are fully revealed. Jacob knew that the entire future of the correction process depended on the blessings of the twelve sons.

Before Jacob change the system, death was a sudden event. When the time of death comes, a person would sneeze and his soul would leave the body. This is the reason why people bless each other for health when they hear a sneeze.

Don’t get upset with Jacob because he did what’s best for us. Sickness is an aspect of Mercy that allows us time to correct the soul before it leaves this world. Many people suffer greatly before they die and that is their opportunity to repent and/or pay the last payments on the correction process.

Daily Zohar 1216
Zohar Pinchas, Vol. 20 (English)/Vol 15 (Hebrew)

Hebrew translation:

Pinchas 411-413

The Faithful Shepherd teaches us here that the Liver is the level of Esau, as it said (genesis 36:1) “ וְאֵלֶּה תֹּלְדוֹת עֵשָׂו, הוּא אֱדוֹם”
“Now these are the generations of Esau–the same is Edom.”

Edom comes from the root of ‘Red’ color as the blood ‘דם’. Red represents desire and left column.

The liver gathers the entire blood and doesn’t distinguish between pure and impure blood. The heart is the aspect of Israel (Jacob) that separates between good and bad, pure and impure blood. He takes only the pure blood using a process that lets it keep the pure parts.

The heart is at a higher place in the body and the liver is lower. The liver that is left with the impure blood raises anger in the Bile. That anger is the aspect of hell that was created on the second day.

The sages teach us that people with anger are considered as idol worshipers. The negativity in the blood causes the Bile to set fires in the blood and through the arteries it wishes to burn the entire body.

The Zohar gives example of the sea that raises big waves at time of anger and wishes to go over the land and makes destruction.

Only the Shechina surrounds the body like the sand at the sea shores that breaks the waves from coming up.

Psalms 41:4 “יְהוָה–יִסְעָדֶנּוּ, עַל-עֶרֶשׂ דְּוָי”
“YHVH support him upon the bed of illness”

The liver is our life partner and we should be in good relationship with It. It is affected by our actions. On the spiritual level our negative actions create an effect on the soul level of Nefesh that is the energy that is circulating in the blood and brings life to the body. On the physical level bad food, including processed food with negative consciousness or lack of ‘life’ energy, also puts a load on the liver that wants to clean the body in order to sustain it and stay ‘alive’ for a longer time.

When the liver is ‘fed up’, meaning reaching a critical level of negativity, it activates its partner, the bile, to ignite fires in the body to cleanse the impurity. The Zohar describes it as ‘hell’ because the fire in hell is just a process with the purpose of cleansing the soul before letting it ascend to a higher level.

The fire ‘burns’ consume the energies of the body, forcing it into a renewal process.

Spiritual connections add to the personal protection field that is around our body, it is called ‘Tzelem’, צלם. Numerical value עץ, ‘Tree’ that is the connection to the Tree of Life.

Build your personal shield with spiritual connection, pure and natural food and avoid states of anger.

Daily Zohar 1215
Zohar Pinchas, Vol. 20 (English)/Vol 15 (Hebrew)

Hebrew translation:

Pinchas 409,410

Ecclesiastes 4:1
“וְשַׁבְתִּי אֲנִי, וָאֶרְאֶה אֶת-כָּל-הָעֲשֻׁקִים, אֲשֶׁר נַעֲשִׂים, תַּחַת הַשָּׁמֶשׁ; וְהִנֵּה דִּמְעַת הָעֲשֻׁקִים, וְאֵין לָהֶם מְנַחֵם, וּמִיַּד עֹשְׁקֵיהֶם כֹּחַ, וְאֵין לָהֶם מְנַחֵם. ”
“But I returned and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun; and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power, but they had no comforter. ”

The Zohar explains that the ‘oppressors’ is the angel of death, Sama-el and his wife, Lili-t. The oppressed is the children that are still dependent on their mothers.

The one that is responsible on taking the life of the children is Lili-t, that is the aspect of the spleen. She attracts the kids with laughter and then kills them. She brings the anger and tears when the parents cry over their death and have no comfort.

Sama-el is the aspect of the liver and the one that brings the death to the adults.

The power that the oppressors have comes from the second day of Creation when separation between the two systems of upper and lower waters took place. The Liver and the angel of death were also created on that day.

Genesis 1:14
“וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים, יְהִי מְאֹרֹת בִּרְקִיעַ הַשָּׁמַיִם, לְהַבְדִּיל, בֵּין הַיּוֹם וּבֵין הַלָּיְלָה; וְהָיוּ לְאֹתֹת וּלְמוֹעֲדִים, וּלְיָמִים וְשָׁנִים. ”
“And God said: ‘Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years; ”

On the fourth day, there was a second separation between the greater light sources. The word ‘lights’ is ‘מְאֹרֹת’ in Hebrew and it is missing the letter ו Vav after the Alef. That gives the word a second meaning that means ‘curses’.

The two lights created were of equal value but one of them questioned the Creator for the reason of making two of the same. God took away the light from it and lowered it to the bottom level, which is Malchut. From that action came out the Klipah that is called Lili-t.

The sun is the aspect of יהו YHV, the Light and the moon is the aspect of ה H, Malchut.

The Zohar tells us that the there is no good sign in starting things on Monday and Wednesday.

We should avoid all aspects of separation in all of our actions everyday of the week because it immediately invites the Klipah that kills everything at the beginning.
