Hebrew translation:
41. וְתַרְגּוּם כְּבוֹד אָבִיו – יְקָרָא דַּאֲבוּהִי. וְזֶה (תהלים יט) תּוֹרַת ה’ תְּמִימָה, עָלֶיהָ נֶאֱמַר (משלי ו) יְקָרָה הִיא מִפְּנִינִים. וְיִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁנִּקְרְאוּ בָנִים, בִּכְלַל בֵּן וּבַת, מִצַּד שֶׁל תִּפְאֶרֶת וּמַלְכוּת, שֶׁהֵם בֵּן וּבַת, הַכָּבוֹד שֶׁל אָבִיו וְאִמּוֹ לַעֲשׂוֹת אֶת הַצִּוּוּי שֶׁלּוֹ, וְהַצִּוּוּי שֶׁלּוֹ אוֹתָן מִצְווֹת עֲשֵׂה. וַהֲרֵי פֵּרְשׁוּהָ בַּעֲלֵי הַמִּשְׁנָה, יֵשׁ מְצֻוֶּה וְעוֹשֶׂה. וּמִשּׁוּם כָּךְ הוּא נַעֲשֶׂה וְנִשְׁמָע. וְזֶהוּ כִּבּוּד אָב וָאֵם, שֶׁיְּצַוֶּה אֶת בְּנוֹ שֶׁיַּעֲשֶׂה כָּךְ, וְהוּא עוֹשֶׂה מִיָּד בְּלִי עִכּוּב כְּלָל.

Zohar Kedoshim
Continued from previous DZ
The Zohar explains that Binah gave ‘honor’ to Chokmah and executed each command of “And God said let there be…” immediately as it said at the end of each command “ וַיְהִי-כֵן” “and it was so”.
The 32 times the name ‘God’ ‘אֱלֹהִים’ is mentioned in the 10 ‘commands’ of Creation created 32 paths of Light that now exist in Binah because of its role in executing the command.
The word ‘Honor’, ‘כָּבוֹד’, is numerically 32 and for us it represents connection to the Binah that is the creative force of the Creation process. ‘Honor’ is the aspect of connection to the source.
In Simchat Torah we sing “תנו כבוד לתורה”, “Give ‘honor’ to the Torah” to invite everyone to connect to the Torah on the special day when we finish the reading of the Torah and connect immediately to its beginning.
Psalms 29:9
“וּבְהֵיכָלוֹ– כֻּלּוֹ, אֹמֵר כָּבוֹד”
“And in His temple everything says, “Glory! (Honor)””
Ezekiel 3:12
“בָּרוּךְ כְּבוֹד-יְהוָה, מִמְּקוֹמוֹ”
“Blessed be the glory (honor) of YHVH from its place!”
Lessons
When we are asked to do something that reveals Light we should do it immediately in order to get the maximum from the Light we channel by doing the action.
