.
Hebrew translation:
89. וּמִי גָרַם זֶה? עוֹרֵב, שֶׁאַתָּה תִהְיֶה בְּאוֹתוֹ זְמַן כְּיוֹנָה, שֶׁשָּׁלִיחַ אַחֵר שֶׁנִּקְרָא בְשִׁמְךָ, כָּעוֹרֵב שֶׁנִּשְׁלַח בַּתְּחִלָּה וְלֹא חָזַר בַּשְּׁלִיחוּת, שֶׁהִשְׁתַּדֵּל בַּשְּׁקָצִים, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר בָּהֶם עַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ שֶׁקֶץ, בִּגְלַל מָמוֹנָם, וְלֹא הִשְׁתַּדֵּל בִּשְׁלִיחוּתוֹ לְהַחֲזִיר צַדִּיקִים בִּתְשׁוּבָה, כְּאִלּוּ לֹא עָשָׂה שְׁלִיחוּת רִבּוֹנוֹ.
90. וּבְךָ יִתְקַיֵּם סוֹד הַיּוֹנָה שֶׁנִּכְנַס בְּעִמְקֵי תְהוֹם רַבָּה, כָּךְ תִּכָּנֵס אַתָּה בְּעָמְקֵי תְּהוֹמֵי הַתּוֹרָה. זֶהוּ שֶׁכָּתוּב (יונה ב) וַתַּשְׁלִיכֵנִי מְצוּלָה בִּלְבַב יַמִּים. וְיִהְיוּ חָכְמָה חֶסֶד נֵצַח לְיָמִין, שֶׁבִּגְלָלָם אָמַר דָּוִד (תהלים קיח) יְמִין ה’ רוֹמֵמָה יְמִין ה’ עֹשָׂה חָיִל. וְשָׁלֹשׁ מִשְּׂמֹאל יִתְקַשְּׁרוּ כְאֶחָד, שֶׁהֵם בִּינָה גְּבוּרָה הוֹד, וְשָׁלֹשׁ דְּרָגוֹת שֶׁבָּאֶמְצַע – כֶּתֶר תִּפְאֶרֶת יְסוֹד – שֶׁאֲחוּזוֹת בְּיָמִין וּשְׂמֹאל.

Zohar Behaalotcha
#88
And ‘ וְהַמַּשְׂכִּלִים יָבִינוּ’ ‘the wise scholars will understand’ (Daniel 12:10), refers to those who are with the knowledge of Kabbalah, will have the radiation of Light from heavens. These are the ones who study the book of the Zohar, which is like Noah’s Ark. Into this Ark they will be gathered for their protection.
#89
The ‘crow’ that Noah sent out of the Ark symbolizes the cause of the ‘Flood’. The Crow was sent on a mission to reveal the good in the world but was busy with all that is detested. The people of the world were busy with their money and materials possessions. The crow didn’t fulfil the mission of his master to guide the people to the righteous ways.

Jonah 2:4
“וַתַּשְׁלִיכֵנִי מְצוּלָה בִּלְבַב יַמִּים וְנָהָר יְסֹבְבֵנִי כָּל מִשְׁבָּרֶיךָ וְגַלֶּיךָ עָלַי עָבָרוּ.”
“For You cast me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, And the floods surrounded me; All Your billows and Your waves passed over me.”
‘Dove’, in Hebrew ‘יונה’ (Pronounced ‘Jonah’) like the name of the prophet. Moses is the secret of the Dove/Jonah that went in the depth of the water, that is the secrets of the Torah.
Psalms 118:16
“יְמִין יְהוָה רוֹמֵמָה יְמִין יְהוָה עֹשָׂה חָיִל.”
“The right hand of YHVH is exalted; The right hand of YHVH does valiantly.”
The work of revealing the secrets of the Torah brings the unification of the three columns of the Tree of Life. On the RIght we have Chokmah, Chesed, and Netzach. On the Left we have Binah, Gevurah, and Hod, and the Keter, Tiferet and Yessod in the center hold the Right and the Left together.
Lesson;
The Zohar that reveals the secrets of the Torah is our Noah’s Ark that pretects us from the ‘Flood’ and the ‘stormy’ world around us.
