Vaera: Verse 17
Come and see, this land, WHICH IS MALCHUT, is called BY THE NAME the land of Yisrael WHEN FACE TO FACE WITH ZEIR ANPIN THAT IS CALLED YISRAEL. HE ASKS, Why does not Jacob, who is Israel, rule over it like Moses? FOR HE IS ALSO A CHARIOT TO ZEIR ANPIN, WHICH IS CALLED YISRAEL. For it is written, "And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, by the name of El Shadai", WHICH IS THE NAME OF THE NUKVA, BEFORE SHE UNITES WITH ZEIR ANPIN, and no more.
Vaera: Verse 18
HE ANSWERS, We have already established that Jacob took the terrestrial house, THAT IS, IN THIS WORLD. Therefore, he lost the celestial house, WHICH IS MALCHUT, but with the terrestrial house, THAT IS, THE FOUR WIVES, he reestablished the celestial house, WHICH IS MALCHUT, with twelve tribes, with seventy branches REFERRING TO ITS SEVENTY NAMES, WHICH IS THE MEANING OF THE SEVENTY SOULS WHO CAME TO EGYPT. And we have already established that Moses took the celestial house, WHICH IS MALCHUT, and forsook the terrestrial house BECAUSE HE SEPARATED FROM HIS WIFE. Therefore, it is written of Jacob: "By the name of El Shadai," AS MENTIONED. BECAUSE ONLY by the name El Shadai did the Holy One, blessed be He, speak to him and no more THAN THIS. "But by My name, Hashem, I was not known to them," MEANING to speak to them in this level OF YUD HEI VAV HEI, which is superior.
Vaera: Verse 19
"And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob." Rabbi Chiya said, The glory of the patriarchs was Jacob, who was all-perfect. By all, it is written "to Abraham, to Isaac," but by him a letter was added, as it is written, "and (= Vav) to Jacob." The letter Vav was added to him to show that he was more whole than them all. But notwithstanding, he did not merit uniting with it, WITH MALCHUT, like Moses did, AS EARLIER MENTIONED.
Vaera: Verse 20
"And I have also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan" (Shemot 6:4). IT IS because they were circumcised. For all who are circumcised inherit the land. THEREFORE THE TORAH SAYS, "TO GIVE THEM THE LAND OF CANAAN." For the land is inherited only by a righteous person and everyone who is circumcised is called righteous, as it is written, "Your people also shall be all righteous, they shall inherit the land forever" (Yeshayah 60:21). Everyone who is circumcised and observes the sign of the covenant is called righteous. Come and learn this from Joseph, who was not called righteous in his life until he observed that covenant, the sign of the Holy Covenant. Once he observed it BY THE INCIDENT OF THE WIFE OF POTIPHAR, he was called righteous, namely, Joseph the righteous.
