Hebrew translation:

130. וְכַאֲשֶׁר יִשְׂרָאֵל הֵם בַּחֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר יוֹם, אָז נוֹטֵל לְבָנָיו לִפְרֹשׂ כְּנָפָיו עֲלֵיהֶם וְלִשְׂמֹחַ עִמָּהֶם. וְעַל זֶה כָּתוּב וּלְקַחְתֶּם לָכֶם בַּיּוֹם הָרִאשׁוֹן. פְּרִי זֶה הוּא אִילָן שֶׁנִּקְרָא עֵץ פְּרִי, וְנִמְצָא בוֹ פְּרִי. עֵץ הָדָר – כְּמוֹ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (תהלים צו) הוֹד וְהָדָר לְפָנָיו. מָה הַטַּעַם נִקְרָא הָדָר, וּמִי הוּא הָדָר? אֶלָּא זֶה צַדִּיק.
131. מַדּוּעַ נִקְרָא הָדָר, וַהֲרֵי מָקוֹם מֻסְתָּר הוּא שֶׁאֵין לוֹ גִלּוּי, וְצָרִיךְ לְהִתְכַּסּוֹת תָּמִיד, וְאֵין הָדָר אֶלָּא מִי שֶׁמִּתְגַּלֶּה וּמִתְרָאֶה? אֶלָּא, אַף עַל גַּב שֶׁהוּא דַרְגָּה מֻסְתֶּרֶת, הִדּוּר הוּא שֶׁל כָּל הַגּוּף, וְלֹא נִמְצָא הִדּוּר לַגּוּף אֶלָּא בוֹ. מָה הַטַּעַם? מִי שֶׁאֵין עִמּוֹ מַדְרֵגָה זוֹ, אֵין בּוֹ הִדּוּר לָבֹא בִּבְנֵי אָדָם. קוֹלוֹ אֵין עִמּוֹ בְדִבּוּרוֹ (כְּזָכָר), וְהִדּוּר (וְדִבּוּר) שֶׁל קוֹל נִפְסָק מִמֶּנּוּ. זְקָנוֹ וַהֲדַר זְקָנוֹ לֹא עִמּוֹ, וְאַף עַל גַּב שֶׁמִּתְכַּסֵּית הַדַּרְגָּה הַהִיא, כָּל הִדּוּר הַגּוּף תָּלוּי בּוֹ, וּמִתְכַּסֶּה וּמִתְגַּלֶּה. וּמִפְּנֵי כֵן עֵץ הָדָר הוּא, עֵץ שֶׁכָּל הִדּוּר הַגּוּף תָּלוּי בּוֹ, וְזֶהוּ הוּא עֵץ עֹשֶׂה פְּרִי.

Zohar Tetzaveh
Continued from previous DZ
#130
When Israel reach the 15th day of the seventh month, which is the holiday of Sukkot, the Holy One, Blessed be He, spreads his wings over his children and rejoices with them. And so, it is written;
Leviticus 23:40
“וּלְקַחְתֶּם לָכֶם בַּיּוֹם הָרִאשׁוֹן פְּרִי עֵץ הָדָר כַּפֹּת תְּמָרִים וַעֲנַף עֵץ עָבֹת וְעַרְבֵי נָחַל וּשְׂמַחְתֶּם לִפְנֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם שִׁבְעַת יָמִים.”
“And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palm trees, the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before YHVH your God for seven days.”
The beautiful tree with fruits refers to Malchut, where we find the fruits. It is called “עֵץ הָדָר” a “beautiful tree” for the Tzadik, Yessod, that makes Malchut fruitful.
Psalm 96:6
“הוֹד וְהָדָר לְפָנָיו עֹז וְתִפְאֶרֶת בְּמִקְדָּשׁוֹ.”
“Honor and majesty (הוֹד וְהָדָר) are before Him; Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.”

#131
He asks, why is Yessod called “הָדָר” (Hadar), “Majesty/Beautiful”, when it is an unseen place and must always be covered, and there is no “beauty” (Hadar) except that which is revealed and seen. He answers that even though Yessod is a covered level, it is the source of beauty of the whole body. What is the point? It is because he who does not have that level does not have the beauty to be among people.
The voice is the force that generates the speech and is not seen with the person in his speech if the beauty of the voice ceases from him. A beard is not a beard without its inner beauty. Even though the level of Yessod is covered, the entire body depends on its beauty.
Because of that, Yessod is called “עֵץ הָדָר” a “beautiful tree,” that is, a tree on which the entire beauty of the body depends on it. It is called “עֵץ עֹשֶׂה-פְּרִי” a “tree bears (makes) fruit” (Genesis 1:12), but the Malchut is called “עֵץ פְּרִי” a “fruit tree” (Genesis 1:11).

Friday would be a good day to make a ** Donation, and support the Daily Zohar projects, especially if you didn’t donate in the past week. Giving on Friday, which is an aspect of Yessod, expands the vessel for the Light and honor of Shabbat.
** Your donation doesn’t have to be given to the same place every week. You can alternate or split your donation among those who benefit you spiritually.
