Daily Zohar # 3503 – Vayetze – The stone at the north removed by the south
Hebrew translation:
93. וְנֶאֶסְפוּ שָׁמָּה כָל הָעֲדָרִים, הַיְנוּ שֶׁכָּתוּב (קהלת א) כָּל הַנְּחָלִים הֹלְכִים אֶת הַיָּם. וְגָלֲלוּ אֶת הָאֶבֶן – מַעֲבִירִים מִמֶּנָּה אֶת תֹּקֶף הַדִּין הַקָּשֶׁה, אוֹתוֹ שֶׁקָּפָא וְנִקְרַשׁ, [מַיִם זְכָרִים] שֶׁאָז נִקְרָא אֶבֶן, וְלֹא יוֹצְאִים מִמֶּנָּה מַיִם הַחוּצָה. וּכְשֶׁאוֹתָם הַנְּחָלִים בָּאִים, מִתְחַזֵּק הַדָּרוֹם, שֶׁהוּא הַיָּמִין, וְלֹא יָכוֹל הַצָּפוֹן לְהַקְרִישׁ אֶת הַמַּיִם, כַּנָּהָר הַזֶּה, כְּשֶׁמֵּימָיו רַבִּים, לֹא קוֹפְאִים וְנִקְרָשִׁים הַמַּיִם, כְּמוֹ נָהָר שֶׁמֵּימָיו מוּעָטִים.

Zohar Vayetze

Genesis 29:2
“וַיַּרְא וְהִנֵּה בְאֵר בַּשָּׂדֶה וְהִנֵּה שָׁם שְׁלֹשָׁה עֶדְרֵי צֹאן רֹבְצִים עָלֶיהָ כִּי מִן הַבְּאֵר הַהִוא יַשְׁקוּ הָעֲדָרִים וְהָאֶבֶן גְּדֹלָה עַל פִּי הַבְּאֵר.”
“וְנֶאֶסְפוּ שָׁמָּה כָל הָעֲדָרִים וְגָלֲלוּ אֶת הָאֶבֶן מֵעַל פִּי הַבְּאֵר וְהִשְׁקוּ אֶת הַצֹּאן וְהֵשִׁיבוּ אֶת הָאֶבֶן עַל פִּי הַבְּאֵר לִמְקֹמָהּ.”
“And he looked, and saw a well in the field; and behold, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks. A large stone was on the well’s mouth.”
“Now all the flocks would be gathered there; and they would roll the stone from the well’s mouth, water the sheep, and put the stone back in its place on the well’s mouth.”
When Jacob saw the well in the field, he also saw the well above, Binah that is parallel to the well below, Malchut.
The ‘three flocks of sheep’ represent the three lines of Chessed on the South, Gevurah on the North, and Tiferet in the East. The three flocks were ‘lying’ by the well to tell us that they are always there. The three lines provide the ‘water’ to the well below to ‘water the flocks’.

Ecclesiastes 1:7
“כָּל הַנְּחָלִים הֹלְכִים אֶל הַיָּם וְהַיָּם אֵינֶנּוּ מָלֵא אֶל מְקוֹם שֶׁהַנְּחָלִים הֹלְכִים שָׁם הֵם שָׁבִים לָלָכֶת.”
“All the rivers run into the sea, Yet the sea is not full; To the place from which the rivers come, There they return again.”
‘the flocks’ and ‘the rivers’ are aspects of the souls that go to the water for nourishments.
‘roll the stone from the well’s mouth’ is the aspect of removing the harsh judgment that comes from the North, Gevurah, and ‘freeze’ the male waters. The frozen state of the water is called ‘stone’. When more ‘flocks’ and ‘rivers’ come from the South, which is Chessed, the Right gets stronger and the North cannot freeze the water.
