Daily Zohar # 2315 – Miketz – Released by the King, set free by the angel
.
Hebrew translation:
41. וַיְרִיצֻהוּ – חָסֵר וָא”ו, וּמִי הוּא? זֶה הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא, מִשּׁוּם שֶׁאֵין מִי שֶׁאוֹסֵר וּפוֹתֵחַ, רַק הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא, שֶׁכָּתוּב (איוב יב) יִסְגֹּר עַל אִישׁ וְלֹא יִפָּתֵחַ, וְכָתוּב (שם לד) וְהוּא יַשְׁקִיט וּמִי יַרְשִׁיעַ וְיַסְתֵּר פָּנִים וּמִי יְשׁוּרֶנּוּ וְעַל גּוֹי וְעַל אָדָם יָחַד, שֶׁהֲרֵי הַכֹּל בּוֹ, וְכָתוּב (דניאל ד) וְכִרְצוֹנוֹ עוֹשֶׂה בִּצְבָא הַשָּׁמַיִם וְדַיָּרֵי הָאָרֶץ, וְאֵין מִי שֶׁיִּמְחֶה בְיָדוֹ וְיֹאמַר לוֹ מֶה עָשִׂיתָ. וּמִשּׁוּם כָּךְ כָּתוּב וַיְרִיצֻהוּ מִן הַבּוֹר וְגוֹ’.

Zohar Miketz
Psalms 105:20
“שָׁלַח מֶלֶךְ, וַיַתִּירֵהוּ; מֹשֵׁל עַמִּים, וַיְפַתְּחֵהוּ”
“A king was sent and released him, The ruler of peoples, was set him free.”
Rabbi Shimon asks to why there is duplication of the aspect of Joseph’s release from, prison. He explains that the first ‘king’ is Zeir Anpin that gives the command to release Joseph, and the second, ‘ruler of people’ is the angel in the world of Malchut that makes things happen and actually sets him free.
Genesis 41:14
“וַיִּשְׁלַח פַּרְעֹה וַיִּקְרָא אֶת-יוֹסֵף, וַיְרִיצֻהוּ מִן-הַבּוֹר”
“Then Pharaoh sent and called for Joseph, and they hurriedly brought him out of the dungeon;”
The word for “they hurriedly” “וַיְרִיצֻהוּ ” is written in the Torah without ו Vav after the צ and that makes the word a singular form as ‘He hurriedly’. Like the explanation above, this form indicates that YHVH controlled the process of releasing Joseph and bringing him to Pharaoh with honor.
