Zohar Emor
Continued from previous DZ
#256
And when that day is not completed as it should be, woe to them, to Israel, woe to their emissary, that is, the High Priest, woe that the Matronita, the Shechina, is distanced from the King, and the Supernal Mother, which is Binah, has withdrawn and no freedom emanates from Binah to the lower worlds. Fortunate is Israel, for the Holy One, blessed be He, has taught them His ways so they might be saved from judgment and be found worthy before Him. As it is said,
Leviticus 16:30
“כִּי בַיּוֹם הַזֶּה יְכַפֵּר עֲלֵיכֶם לְטַהֵר אֶתְכֶם מִכֹּל חַטֹּאתֵיכֶם לִפְנֵי יְהוָה תִּטְהָרוּ”
“For on that day, the priest shall make atonement for you, to cleanse you, that you may be clean from all your sins before YHVH.”
And it is written;
Ezekiel 36:25
“וְזָרַקְתִּי עֲלֵיכֶם מַיִם טְהוֹרִים וּטְהַרְתֶּם מִכֹּל טֻמְאוֹתֵיכֶם וּמִכָּל גִּלּוּלֵיכֶם אֲטַהֵר אֶתְכֶם”
“Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and all your idols.”

Numbers 29:12
“וּבַחֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר יוֹם לַחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִי מִקְרָא קֹדֶשׁ יִהְיֶה לָכֶם כָּל מְלֶאכֶת עֲבֹדָה לֹא תַעֲשׂוּ וְחַגֹּתֶם חַג לַיהוָה שִׁבְעַת יָמִים”
“‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work and keep a feast to the LORD seven days.”
Rabbi Yosi asked Rabbi Abba, “These fifteen days, what do they signify?” Rabbi Abba replied, “Indeed, it is a precious secret. Come and see, both above and below, each one travels in its way, sits in its way, is awakened in its way, and does what it does. That is to say, nothing is alike to its peers, neither above nor below. This tenth day implies the Congregation of Israel, which is Malchut, for the tenth day corresponds to the tenth Sefirah, which is Malchut. Therefore, it is said,
Exodus 12:3
“דַּבְּרוּ אֶל כָּל עֲדַת יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר בֶּעָשֹׂר לַחֹדֶשׁ הַזֶּה וְיִקְחוּ לָהֶם אִישׁ שֶׂה לְבֵית אָבֹת שֶׂה לַבָּיִת”
“Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying: ‘On the tenth of this month, every man shall take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household.”
Because “On the tenth” is Malchut, and since the ten Sefirot have been completed during ten days, ‘they shall take for themselves, etc.’ And that day, the tenth of the month, belongs to Malchut. And the other five days belong to the King, Zeir Anpin. On that day, the King unifies with her and fills her with his lights; hence, on the fifteenth day, Malchut is in its fullness, for on the fifth day when the five Sefirot of Zeir Anpin are completed, the King sits on the throne, which is Malchut, and bestows upon her Light from the first five sefirot.
