Daily Zohar # 4305 – Shelach Lecha – The grapevines above the Cherubs
Daily Zohar 4305
Hebrew translation:
278. כְּשֶׁמִּסְתַּכֵּל בֶּן אָדָם בְּהֵיכָל זֶה, מִיָּד בְּהִסְתַּכְּלוּת רִאשׁוֹנָה נִרְאֶה קָטָן וְלֹא קָטָן, מִסְתַּכֵּל יוֹתֵר – נִרְאֶה גָדוֹל. עוֹד מִסְתַּכֵּל – נִרְאֶה יוֹתֵר גָּדוֹל. כָּל מַה שֶּׁמִּסְתַּכֵּל, כָּךְ נִרְאֶה בְּהִתְפַּשְּׁטוּת גָּדוֹל וְעֶלְיוֹן, עַד שֶׁנִּדְמֶה בַהִסְתַּכְּלוּת כִּמְלֹא נִימָה שֶׁאֵין לָהּ שִׁעוּר.
279. מַעֲשִׂים גְּדוֹלִים לִפְנִים שֶׁלֹּא יְדוּעָה אֻמָּנוּתָם, מִשָּׁם מְאִירָה עֲזָרָה וְכָל מַה שֶּׁיֵּשׁ בָּהּ, פְּרָט לַכְּרוּבִים שֶׁאוֹרָם עוֹלֶה עַד רוּם הָרָקִיעַ בִּגְוָנִים רַבִּים, וְאוֹרוֹת נוֹצְצִים. אֶלֶף וַחֲמֵשׁ מֵאוֹת וַחֲמִשָּׁה וְשִׁבְעִים גְּפָנִים עוֹשִׂים פֵּרוֹת בַּעֲזָרָה זוֹ.

Zohar Shelach Lecha
Continued from previous DZ
#277
(Some Zohar text is missing here)
And some sit in their place and are ready, even before the others leave. The eyes will not be able to follow their Light and brightness. They go around in circles, and they never rest.
#278
When a person looks at this hall, at first glance, it seems small and not small. Looking closer, it appears to be significant. Keep looking at it further; it seems bigger. It appears in expansion more significantly and higher with more observation. In the end, from a small look at that hall, it was immeasurably huge.
#279
Many unknown things are made in the Azara, from which the Azara is illuminated with everything in it, except for the cherubs whose Light rises to the heavens in many shades and sparkling lights. One thousand five hundred and seventy-five grapevines bear fruit in the Azara.
(Because the beginning and end of this section are missing, it cannot be interpreted).
Lesson;
The grapevines are mentioned in Shelach #160. It is copied here to help with the ‘picture’ of the Light in the Azara.
#160 Above, the Cherubs spread grapevines, and all the Cherubs below spread their wings interlocked. The head of the upper Yeshiva said that whoever looks at these vines, his face shines like the sun’s light.
The vines have the aspect of the inner Light of the Cherubs. Their wings cover the Light of the upper three and become one with the grapevines.
