Hebrew translation:

91. אָמַר רַבִּי אַבָּא, וְהוּא יֹשֵׁב פֶּתַח הָאֹהֶל, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב (שם כד) וַה’ בֵּרַךְ אֶת אַבְרָהָם בַּכֹּל. שֶׁזֶּהוּ הַפֶּתַח הַקָּדוֹשׁ, כֶּתֶר עֲשִׂירִי. כְּחֹם הַיּוֹם, כְּמוֹ שֶׁנִּתַּן לוֹ כֶּתֶר שֶׁל חֶסֶד. זֶהוּ שֶׁכָּתוּב כְּחֹם הַיּוֹם. כְּמוֹ שֶׁיָּשַׁב בָּזֶה, יָשַׁב בָּזֶה, שֶׁלֹּא עוֹלֶה זֶה בְּלִי זֶה.
92. דָּבָר אַחֵר וְעָבַר ה’ לִנְגֹּף אֶת מִצְרַיִם, מַה זֶּה וְעָבַר? שֶׁעָבַר עַל שׁוּרַת הַדִּין שֶׁל הַכְּתָרִים, (שֶׁקְּשָׁרִים) שֶׁהָיוּ מִתְקַשְּׁרִים בִּכְתָרִים אֲחֵרִים שֶׁלְּמַעְלָה, וְהִתִּיר אוֹתָם מִקִּיּוּמָם, וְעָבַר עַל דְּרָכָיו כְּדֵי לַעֲשׂוֹת בָּהֶם דִּין וְלִשְׁמֹר עַל יִשְׂרָאֵל. וְכֵן הוּא, כָּל וְעָבַר, וְעָבַרְתִּי, וַיַּעֲבֹר – שֶׁהַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא עָבַר עַל כָּל דְּרָכָיו אוֹ לְדִין אוֹ לְרַחֲמִים. כָּאן וְעָבַר, כְּדֵי לַעֲשׂוֹת דִּין. שָׁם וַיַּעֲבֹר, כְּדֵי לְרַחֵם.
93. וַיְהִי בַּחֲצִי הַלַּיְלָה וַה’ הִכָּה כָּל בְּכוֹר וְגוֹ’. [כָּתוּב (תהלים סט) וַאֲנִי תְפִלָּתִי לְךָ ה’ עֵת רָצוֹן וְגוֹ’] רַבִּי חִיָּיא וְרַבִּי יוֹסֵי הָיוּ הוֹלְכִים מֵאוּשָׁא לְלוֹד, וְהָיָה רַבִּי חִיָּיא רוֹכֵב בַּחֲמוֹר. אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹסֵי, נֵשֵׁב כָּאן וְנִתְפַּלֵּל, שֶׁהֲרֵי הִגִּיעַ זְמַן תְּפִלַּת מִנְחָה, וְשָׁנִינוּ, לְעוֹלָם יְהֵא אָדָם זָהִיר בִּתְפִלַּת מִנְחָה. לָמָּה זָהִיר? מִשּׁוּם שֶׁהִיא שָׁעָה שֶׁתָּלוּי הַדִּין וְצָרִיךְ אָדָם לְכַוֵּן דַּעְתּוֹ. יָרַד רַבִּי חִיָּיא וְהִתְפַּלֵּל.

Zohar Bo

#91
Rabbi Aba says that Abraham was blessed with ‘בכל’, ‘in every way’. Abraham received control over the Sefira of Chessed that is called ‘day’ and over the ‘opening of the tent’ that is Malchut. Malchut is the tenth Sefira and ‘בכל’ is the aspect of the tenth Keter. It is the ‘opening’ in Malchut that is created with the Chassadim of Abraham.
The Chassadim that comes from the ‘opening’ is the aspect of Abraham sitting in the opening of the tent. Without Chassadim the Light of Chokmah cannot be revealed in Malchut and because Abraham, the Light is revealed in Malchut with the aspect of day.

#92
Exodus 12:23
“וְעָבַר יְהוָה לִנְגֹּף אֶת מִצְרַיִם וְרָאָה אֶת הַדָּם עַל הַמַּשְׁקוֹף וְעַל שְׁתֵּי הַמְּזוּזֹת וּפָסַח יְהוָה עַל הַפֶּתַח וְלֹא יִתֵּן הַמַּשְׁחִית לָבֹא אֶל בָּתֵּיכֶם לִנְגֹּף.”
“For YHVH will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, YHVH will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to smite you.”
The Zohar explains that whenever we read in the Torah ‘and YHVH pass’, ‘YHVH passed’ or ‘YHVH will pass’, it implies that YHVH changes the flow of the light from the Sefirot to Malchut in order to bring judgment or mercy. In the verse above the change was done to inflict harsh judgment on the Egyptians.
In Exodus 34:6 we read “וַיַּעֲבֹר יְהוָה עַל פָּנָיו .” “Then YHVH passed by in front of him (Moses)”. In this event, God appeared to Moses with the 13 attributes to reveal the aspects of mercy.

The Egyptians were connected to the lower Crowns (Keters) that received their sustenance and life force from supernal Crowns. YHVH removed the links between the upper and lower Crowns to disconnect them life force from the top levels and because of that all the firstborn of the Egyptians died. God made these ‘changes’ to bring judgment on Egypt and at the same time protect the Israelites.

#93 – Commentary in the next study

Lesson;
We live under a spiritual system of cause and effect. The rules were made from the day of Creation but YHVH can change the rules to bring judgments or mercy when it is needed.

A video to help in understanding the spiritual principals in this study will be published here tomorrow.
