Zohar Vayikra
Continued from previous DZ
#426
Rabbi Yitzchak said, We have already established that the nefesh, when the Congregation of Israel, which is Malchut, is crowned with the Holy King, who is Zeir Anpin, then Malchut is called the bundle of life, because in her Everything is bound. The nefesh is bound to her from below, and Zeir Anpin from above. Rabbi Elazar said, When the Shechinah, which is Malchut, journeys, she journeys with the Fathers, who are Chessed-Gevurah-Tiferet of Zeir Anpin. This is what it says, “וַיִּסַּע מַלְאַךְ הָאֱלֹהִים הַהֹלֵךְ” “And the angel of God who went…” (Exodus 14:19). These are three verses: “And he journeyed,” “And he came,” and “And he stretched,” which point to the three lines Chessed-Gevurah-Tiferet of Zeir Anpin, from which the Shechinah receives and with which she journeys. And therefore the Shechinah is called the bundle of life, for the three lines Chessed-Gevurah-Tiferet are bound in her.
Notes:
Malchut is called the “bundle of life” because both the lower nefesh and the upper Zeir Anpin are bound within her. When the Shechinah journeys, she travels together with the three Patriarchal lines (Chessed-Gevurah-Tiferet), as shown in the three verses of the Exodus (72 names).
#427
Rabbi Abba said, Everything — the three lines Chessed-Gevurah-Tiferet and the Shechinah — becomes one crown, so that they may be crowned together, and the Holy Name, that is the Name of 72, appears within them. At that time Zeir Anpin is called “כְּתַפּוּחַ בַּעֲצֵי הַיַּעַר כֵּן דּוֹדִי בֵּין הַבָּנִים” “As an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the sons” (Song of Songs 2:3). For the three lines Chessed-Gevurah-Tiferet are the secret of the three colors white, red, and green that appear in the apple. And then Israel saw, at the sea, the precious upper radiance journeying before them. And this is what we have learned, “וַיּוֹצִאֲךָ בְּפָנָיו בְּכֹחוֹ הַגָּדֹל מִמִּצְרָיִם” “And He brought you out with His face, with His great power, from Egypt” (Deuteronomy 4:37). These are the Fathers, Chessed-Gevurah-Tiferet, that is, the three lines of “And he journeyed,” “And he came,” and “And he stretched.” And because of this, this Name, which is Malchut, shatters mountains and shatters rocks, and in it there is both good and evil. Happy is the portion of Israel.
Notes:
When the three lines of Zeir Anpin unite with Malchut, they form one crown, and the Name of 72 (יוד-הי-ויו-הי) shines within them. This is the apple of three colors that Israel saw at the sea. Malchut, receiving from these lines, holds both mercy and judgment and has the power to shatter all obstacles.
