Daily Zohar 4246
Hebrew translation:
224. בֹּא רְאֵה, בַּיּוֹם הַזֶּה מִתְכַּסָּה הַלְּבָנָה, וְלֹא מְאִירָה עַד בֶּעָשׂוֹר לַחֹדֶשׁ, כְּשֶׁכָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל שָׁבִים בִּתְשׁוּבָה, וְהָאֵם הָעֶלְיוֹנָה שָׁבָה וּמְאִירָה לָהּ. וְהַיּוֹם הַזֶּה אֶת אוֹר הָאֵם נוֹטֵל, וְנִמְצֵאת שִׂמְחָה בַּכֹּל. וְעַל כֵּן כָּתוּב, יוֹם הַכִּפֻּרִים הוּא. יוֹם כִּפּוּר הָיָה צָרִיךְ לִהְיוֹת! מַה זֶּה יוֹם הַכִּפֻּרִים? אֶלָּא מִשּׁוּם שֶׁשְּׁנֵי מְאוֹרוֹת מְאִירִים כְּאֶחָד. הַמָּאוֹר הָעֶלְיוֹן מֵאִיר לַמָּאוֹר הַתַּחְתּוֹן, וּבַיּוֹם הַזֶּה מֵאִיר מֵהָאוֹר הָעֶלְיוֹן, וְלֹא מֵאוֹר הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ, וּמִשּׁוּם כָּךְ כָּתוּב בַּכֶּסֶה לְיוֹם חַגֵּנוּ.

Zohar Emor

#223
Then Esau returned to be Jacob’s protector, but Jacob did not want anything from him, good or bad. He said;
Genesis 33:14
“יַעֲבָר נָא אֲדֹנִי לִפְנֵי עַבְדּוֹ וַאֲנִי אֶתְנָהֲלָה לְאִטִּי לְרֶגֶל הַמְּלָאכָה אֲשֶׁר לְפָנַי וּלְרֶגֶל הַיְלָדִים עַד אֲשֶׁר אָבֹא אֶל אֲדֹנִי שֵׂעִירָה.”
Esau returned to his ways. It happened during the Neilah prayer, which is the last one on Yom Kippur. The force of Esau leaves, and the Holy One, Blessed be He forgives the sins and makes atonement for the people. Since the adversary went with the gifts he received, the Holy One, Blessed be He, wants to rejoice with his children. It is written;
Genesis 33:17
“וְיַעֲקֹב נָסַע סֻכֹּתָה וַיִּבֶן לוֹ בָּיִת וּלְמִקְנֵהוּ עָשָׂה סֻכֹּת עַל כֵּן קָרָא שֵׁם הַמָּקוֹם סֻכּוֹת.”
“And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, built himself a house, and made booths for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Sukkot.”
Israel sat in Sukkot, which means that they were saved from their adversaries, and the Holy One, Blessed be He is happy with his children. Blessed are their lot in this world and in the world to come.
#224
On the day of Rosh Hashanah, the moon, which is Malchut, is hidden and does not shine until the tenth of the month when all Israel return with complete Teshuvah, and the supernal mother, who is Binah, returns and gives light to Malchut. On the day of Yom Kippur, Malchut takes the lights from Binah, the Mother, and joy is found everywhere. It is written Yom Kippurim in the plural. It should have said Yom Kippur, but it is said in the plural because the two lights shine together, the upper light, which is Binah, shines to the lower light, which is Malchut.
On this day, Malchut shines from the upper light of Binah and not from the sun’s light, Zeir Anpin. And that is why it is written;
Psalm 81:4
“תִּקְעוּ בַחֹדֶשׁ שׁוֹפָר בַּכֵּסֶה לְיוֹם חַגֵּנוּ.”
“Blow the Shofar at the time of the New Moon, on the concealed day of our holiday.”
Malchut is in a concealed state until Yom Kippur when she receives the Light from Binah.
