Zohar Emor
Continued from previous DZ
#233
And he replies, even though the wicked sinner lost the good deeds and the merits he gained, the good deeds are not lost. When there is a righteous man who walks in the ways of the Holy King and makes spiritual garments with his good deeds, but before he completes his garments, he departs from the world. The Holy One, Blessed be He completes his clothes from the good deeds that the wicked sinner did and lost, so the righteous will have a complete garment in the upper world. This is the explanation to what is written;
Job 27:16, 17
“אִם יִצְבֹּר כֶּעָפָר כָּסֶף וְכַחֹמֶר יָכִין מַלְבּוּשׁ.”
“יָכִין וְצַדִּיק יִלְבָּשׁ וְכֶסֶף נָקִי יַחֲלֹק.”
“Though he heaps up silver like dust, And piles up clothing like clay—”
“what he lays up, the righteous will wear, and his silver will be divided by the innocent.”
The wicked will prepare, and the righteous will wear. He gets covered because of the sin of the other. The meaning of “כְּסוּי חֲטָאָה” “covering a sin” in this explanation is that the covering is the good garments from the wicked and now cover the righteous.

#234
A second meaning is that the sin of a deserving person will be covered by what is called the depth of the sea. What falls in the depths of the sea is never found because the water covers it. As it is said;
Micah 7:19
“יָשׁוּב יְרַחֲמֵנוּ יִכְבֹּשׁ עֲו‍ֹנֹתֵינוּ וְתַשְׁלִיךְ בִּמְצֻלוֹת יָם כָּל חַטֹּאותָם.”
“He will again have compassion on us And will subdue our iniquities. You will cast all our sins Into the depths of the sea.”
He asks what the depth of the sea is, and he replies it is a precious secret that Rabbi Shimon explained, saying that all those who come from the tough side, and hold the evil kinds in the lower sefirot, like Azazel on Yom Kippur, is called the depth of the sea. Like a waste of silver when examined by fire. As it is written;
Proverbs 25:4
“הָגוֹ סִיגִים מִכָּסֶף וַיֵּצֵא לַצֹּרֵף כֶּלִי.”
“Take away the dross from the silver, And it will go to the silversmith for jewelry.”
