Daily Zohar # 1442 – Vayakhel –
Hebrew translation:
13. וְעַל זֶה שָׁמַע יְהוֹשֻׁעַ וְלֹא מֹשֶׁה, מִשּׁוּם שֶׁנָּטְלָה אוֹתָהּ רָעָה אֶת אוֹר הַלְּבָנָה שֶׁאָחַז בָּהּ יְהוֹשֻׁעַ, וּמֹשֶׁה שֶׁהָיָה אָחוּז בַּשֶּׁמֶשׁ לֹא שָׁמַע, וְכָל הָאוֹר שֶׁל יִשְׂרָאֵל כֻּלָּם נֶחְשַׁךְ מִשּׁוּם אוֹתָהּ רָעָה שֶׁנִּדְבְּקָה בָּהֶם. כֵּיוָן שֶׁמָּחַל הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא עַל חֲטָאֵיהֶם, אָז וַיַּקְהֵל מֹשֶׁה אֶת כָּל עֲדַת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם אֵלֶּה הַדְּבָרִים וְגוֹ’, שֶׁהֲרֵי אוֹתוֹ עֵרֶב רַב הָעֳבַר מֵהֶם.

Zohar Vayakhel
No commentary today buy almost direct translation of the Zohar above. Try to make sense out of it.
12 . Come and see, four times a year a voice awakened in the four corners of the World. The same voice of awakening wakes up the other side and the other side gets between the voices. And the light is darkened by the voice below. Because the light of the voice from above did not come to the voice below. Then an awakening is preceded and entered between the Snake that tempts the woman and taking light and that voice is the sound of war, negative sound, and that’s בְּרֵעֹה ‘at worse’ (Exodus 32:17).
13. And that what Joshua heard and not Moses , because בְּרֵעֹה ‘at worse’ took the light of the moon that Joshua held. Moses that was holding the light of the sun couldn’t hear. And the light of all Israelites darkened because of the ‘worse’ that stuck to them. Since God condoned their sins, then Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel , and said unto them, These are the words etc., for the Erev Rav removed from them.
