Zohar Acharei Mot
Continued from previous DZ
#114
From the side of Mother (Left), two spirits pursue judgments on the Left side. They spy every day on Malchut, meaning that they take nourishments from Netzach, Hod, and Yessod of Malchut. These sefirot are considered the legs of Malchut, as it is written;
Joshua 2:1 “שְׁנַיִם אֲנָשִׁים מְרַגְּלִים” “two men to spy secretly.” The word spies in Hebrew is the same as for legs, “רַגְּלִים.”

#115
Blessed is the portion of Israel, more than all the idol worship nations. The Holy One, Blessed be He, wants to cleanse and have mercy on Israel because they are his share and dwellings, as it is said;
Deuteronomy 32:9
“כִּי חֵלֶק יְהֹוָה עַמּוֹ יַעֲקֹב חֶבֶל נַחֲלָתוֹ.”
“For YHVH’s portion is His people; Jacob is the place of His inheritance.”
It is also written;
Deuteronomy 32:13
“יַרְכִּבֵהוּ עַל במותי [בָּמֳתֵי] אָרֶץ וַיֹּאכַל תְּנוּבֹת שָׂדָי וַיֵּנִקֵהוּ דְבַשׁ מִסֶּלַע וְשֶׁמֶן מֵחַלְמִישׁ צוּר.”
“He made him ride in the heights of the earth, That he might eat the produce of the fields; He made him draw honey from the rock, And oil from the flinty rock;.”
“Height of the earth” is where Israel unifies with the higher level, Zeir Anpin. For that reason, the Holy One, Blessed be He, loves them as it is written;
Malachi 1:2
“אָהַבְתִּי אֶתְכֶם אָמַר יְהוָה וַאֲמַרְתֶּם בַּמָּה אֲהַבְתָּנוּ הֲלוֹא אָח עֵשָׂו לְיַעֲקֹב נְאֻם יְהוָה וָאֹהַב אֶת יַעֲקֹב.”
“I have loved you,” says YHVH. “Yet you say, ‘In what way have You loved us?’ Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?” Says YHVH. “Yet Jacob, I have loved.”
And out of excessive love that he loves them, he gave them one day a year to purify them and cleanse them from all their sins. It is written;
Leviticus 16:30
“כִּי בַיּוֹם הַזֶּה יְכַפֵּר עֲלֵיכֶם לְטַהֵר אֶתְכֶם מִכֹּל חַטֹּאתֵיכֶם לִפְנֵי יְהוָה תִּטְהָרוּ.”
“For on that day, the priest shall make atonement for you, to cleanse you, that you may be clean from all your sins before YHVH.”
This day is Yom Kippur, and Hashem designated it to purify the children of Israel so they can have merits in this world and in the world to come and that no sin be found in them. On this day, Israel is crowned and controls all prosecutors and spirits.

Lesson;
Yom Kippur is a great gift. With proper connections, we can get purified from the past year’s sins and receive greater life experience in the following year.
