Zohar Beresheet
Continued from previous DZ
#173
And sometimes, the three lines agree to bring judgment. The “יד” “hand,” numerically 14, is the hand that is ready to accept those who repent. The “hand” is a reference to the fourteen letters of the name י-ה-ו-ה,יוד-הא-ואו-הא. This is the Shechina, called the right hand from the side of Chessed—the left hand from the side of Gevura. The hand of YHVH י-הוה is from the middle line. When a person repents, this hand saves him from the judgment. But when the cause of all causes judges, no one can be saved, as it is written;
“Nor is there any who can deliver from My hand” (Deuteronomy 32:39)
#174
There are three “אֲנִי” “I” In this verse that each has “אאא, ייי” that are in the names יוֹ”ד הֵ”י וָא”ו הֵ”י יוֹ”ד הֵ”א וָא”ו הֵ”א. They have three Vavs “ו” each to allude to, “and I make alive,” “and I heal,” and “and no one can be saved from my hand.”
Lesson;
The ‘hands’ of Hashem are the actions revealed through the three lines
The Right hand = Chessed
Exodus 14:31
“וַיַּרְא יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת הַיָּד הַגְּדֹלָה אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה יְהוָה בְּמִצְרַיִם וַיִּירְאוּ הָעָם אֶת יְהוָה וַיַּאֲמִינוּ בַּיהוָה וּבְמֹשֶׁה עַבְדּוֹ.”
“Thus Israel saw the great hand which YHVH had done in Egypt; so the people feared YHVH, and believed YHVH and His servant Moses.”
The Left hand = Gevura
Deuteronomy 26:8
“וַיּוֹצִאֵנוּ יְהוָה מִמִּצְרַיִם בְּיָד חֲזָקָה וּבִזְרֹעַ נְטוּיָה וּבְמֹרָא גָּדֹל וּבְאֹתוֹת וּבְמֹפְתִים.”
“So YHVH brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with great terror and signs and wonders.”
The middle hand = The unification of Right and Left in the name יהוה
Deuteronomy 2:15
“וְגַם יַד יְהוָה הָיְתָה בָּם לְהֻמָּם מִקֶּרֶב הַמַּחֲנֶה עַד תֻּמָּם.”
“For indeed the hand of YHVH was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp until they were consumed.”
