Daily Zohar # 4423 – Vayeshev – Keep the source and spring flowing
Daily Zohar 4423
Hebrew translation:
159. מִמִּזְרַח שֶׁמֶשׁ – זֶה הַמָּקוֹם שֶׁל אוֹתוֹ הַנָּהָר שֶׁשּׁוֹפֵעַ וְיוֹצֵא, שֶׁמִּשָּׁם יוֹצֵאת הַנְּשָׁמָה וּמְאִירָה. וְיָבֹא סְגָנִים [כְּמוֹ חֹמֶר] – אֵלּוּ הֵם חֵילוֹת הָעוֹלָם שֶׁבָּאִים מִשּׁוּם [בְּתוֹךְ] אוֹתָהּ הַהִתְעוֹרְרוּת שֶׁל הַנְּשָׁמוֹת. כְּמוֹ חֹמֶר – כְּמוֹ שֶׁמִּתְעוֹרֵר אָדָם בַּגּוּף.
160. שֶׁהֲרֵי מִשּׁוּם זֶה הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא עוֹשֶׂה זִוּוּגִים וּמַטִּיל נְשָׁמוֹת בָּעוֹלָם, וְנִמְצֵאת חֲבֵרוּת לְמַעְלָה וּלְמַטָּה, וְהַמָּקוֹר שֶׁל הַכֹּל הוּא [ס”א יִהְיֶה] בָּרוּךְ. וּמִשּׁוּם כָּךְ הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא עָשָׂה אֶת הָאָדָם, כְּדֵי לְהִשְׁתַּדֵּל בִּדְרָכָיו, וְלֹא יַפְסִיק אֶת מְקוֹרוֹ וּמַעְיָנוֹ לְעוֹלָמִים.

Zohar Vayeshev
Continued from previous DZ
#158
“I have raised up one from the north” refers to the arousal of unification of a person in this world, which is an awakening from the north, that is, from the left, as the arousal for the unification comes from the left. ‘And he shall come,’ this is the holy soul that comes from above, which the Holy One, Blessed be He, sends from above into this world, and it enters into human beings, as we have learned.
#159
“From the east of the sun:” This is the place of that river which flows and emerges, which is Tiferet, the place of Yessod, from where the soul emerges and shines. For the souls come from the union of Tiferet and Malchut. ‘And he shall bring officers,’ these are the hosts (forces) of the world, which is the Nukva, known as ‘עולם’ ‘world,’ and its hosts are the angels, who come with the arousal of the souls, meaning they are born with them. Like ‘חומר,’ ‘matter,’ that is, like when a person is awakened in his body, which is called matter.”
Lesson;
The souls are the life force of this world. They awaken and animate the physical matter of this world.
#160
“For this reason, the Holy One, Blessed be He, creates unions and brings souls into the world, and the union is found above and below, and the source of everything is ‘בָּרוּךְ,’ blessed. Therefore, the Holy One, Blessed be He, made man so that he would follow in the ways of the Torah, and the source and spring of blessings would not cease forever, and he would produce offspring.
Lesson;
The act of producing offspring is not just a physical process but a fulfillment of a divine promise, ensuring that the spiritual “source and spring” of Light continues unceasingly.
Friday would be a good day to make a ** Donation, 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.
