Daily Zohar # 1528 – Behaalotcha – Elevated Groom
Hebrew translation:
5. רַבִּי אַבָּא פָּתַח, (תהלים פט) אַשְׁרֵי הָעָם יוֹדְעֵי תְרוּעָה ה’ בְּאוֹר פָּנֶיךָ יְהַלֵּכוּן. הַפָּסוּק הַזֶּה פֵּרְשׁוּהוּ, אֲבָל בֹּא רְאֵה, אַשְׁרֵיהֶם יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁהַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא נָתַן לָהֶם תּוֹרָה הַקְּדוֹשָׁה, וְלִמְּדָם דְּרָכָיו לְהִתְדַּבֵּק בּוֹ, וְלִשְׁמֹר מִצְווֹת הַתּוֹרְה לִזְכּוֹת בָּהֶן לָעוֹלָם הַבָּא, וְקֵרְבָם בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁיָּצְאוּ מִמִּצְרַיִם, שֶׁהֲרֵי אָז הוֹצִיאָם מֵרְשׁוּת אַחֶרֶת, וְהֶעֱלָם לְהֵאָחֵז בִּשְׁמוֹ, וְאָז נִקְרְאוּ בְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּנֵי חוֹרִין מֵהַכֹּל, שֶׁלֹּא יָשְׁבוּ תַּחַת רָשׁוּת אַחֶרֶת, וְהֶעֱלָם לְהֵאָחֵז בִּשְׁמוֹ, שֶׁעוֹלֶה עַל הַכֹּל, שֶׁשּׁוֹלֵט עַל עֶלְיוֹנִים וְתַחְתּוֹנִים.
Zohar Behaalotcha
Psalms 19:6
“וְהוּא–כְּחָתָן, יֹצֵא מֵחֻפָּתוֹ; יָשִׂישׂ כְּגִבּוֹר, לָרוּץ אֹרַח.”
“And he, as a bridegroom, coming out from his covering, He rejoices as a mighty one To run the path.”
The groom is the aspect of Zeir Anpin coming out from under Binah that is the source of light for the lower levels..
19:7
“מִקְצֵה הַשָּׁמַיִם, מוֹצָאוֹ–וּתְקוּפָתוֹ עַל-קְצוֹתָם; וְאֵין נִסְתָּר, מֵחַמָּתוֹ”
“Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat.”
The end of heavens is Binah, and Zeir Anpin is called heavens. The groom coming out of Binah, spreads his arms , Chessed and Gevurah and spread toward the west that is Yessod to connect to his bride, Malchut.
Numbers 8:2
“ דַּבֵּר, אֶל-אַהֲרֹן, וְאָמַרְתָּ, אֵלָיו: בְּהַעֲלֹתְךָ, אֶת-הַנֵּרֹת, אֶל-מוּל פְּנֵי הַמְּנוֹרָה, יָאִירוּ שִׁבְעַת הַנֵּרוֹת”
“’Speak unto Aaron, and say to him, when you elevate the candles toward the face of the candelabra (Menora), the seven lights will give light.’”
When the Priest prepares the candelabra he makes connection to Binah and releases the light to come down through Zeir Anpin to reveal itself in Malchut.
