260121.bo v175
Rabbi Shimon talks about the time that the moon was in a decreased state, when Yisrael had not yet completed the Covenant by the uncovering of the corona. After they were uncovered, God gave them bread from a higher place, from the heavens. Then Yisrael observe those days when they entered under the wings of the Shechinah and guarded the bread, the Matzot, that came from its side.
The bonds which Rabbi Shimon refers to next are those that join the upper to the lower levels, and in the observance of the sacrifice those bonds are strengthened, as when the lamb is sacrificed.
Bo: Verse 175
And every year, the children of Yisrael make a memorial to Egypt and eat UNLEAVENED BREAD and have not interrupted this for generations and generations. Because they did not uncover themselves in Egypt, they lacked this "kol," and the moon was waning and is called "the bread of affliction." Affliction MEANS 'poverty,' as in the Aramaic translation. The reason they ate the bread of affliction in the Holy Land, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD ALREADY UNCOVERED THEMSELVES, serves as a remembrance to Egypt. This is a custom for generations and generations. And for the future to come, it is written, "Your sun shall no more set; nor shall your moon withdraw itself" (Yeshayah 60:20), MEANING THAT THE WANING OF THE MOON, WHICH IS MALCHUT, WILL BE NO MORE.Bo: Verse 176
We learned that Rabbi Shimon said, It is written, "On the tenth day of this month they shall take..." (Shemot 12:3), and, "Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be Yom Kippur" (Vayikra 23:27). It is derived from what we learned, as it is written, "on the tenth day of this month." THE ZOHAR WONDERS AND ASKS, What does it mean by this? HE ANSWERS THAT IT ALLUDES TO THE WORDS, "on the tenth." The business OF TAKING THE LAMB comes from the tenth, WHICH IS BINAH THAT SHINES ON MALCHUT, AS MENTIONED. AND THIS IS WHY HE FIRST MENTIONS THE ANALOGY BETWEEN THE TENTH IN THIS CONTEXT AND THE TENTH OF YOM KIPPUR, WHICH IS BINAH. AND HE ASKS, It is written, "of this month," but it should say, 'In this month.' HE ANSWERS, IT IS BECAUSE when the illumination came to this level, WHICH IS MALCHUT, the parse "of this month;" "OF THE MONTH" is exact, WHICH IS MALCHUT THAT IS CALLED 'MONTH.'Bo: Verse 177
"They shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the houses of their fathers, a lamb for a house." We learned that there are three bonds, the firstborn of cattle, the firstborn of the captive, and the firstborn of the maidservant. All the other levels OF THE KLIPAH are connected to these three aspects above. They are all bound to the one called flock, and everything is included in it. IT IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL AMONG THEM. The flock BELOW is connected to the flock ABOVE, and is unable to separate from its bond. SO WE SEE that they are all connected to this, TO THE FLOCK. This is why it is written BY IT: "and you shall keep it" (Shemot 12:6) MEANING bind it with a knot, and it would be given into your hands under your control until you slaughter it and execute Judgment upon it. In the time to come, it is written, "Who is this that comes from Edom?" (Yeshayah 63:1) and, "For Hashem has a sacrifice in Botzrah" (Yeshayah 34:6), MEANING THAT HE WILL DESTROY ALL THE OTHER SIDE FROM THE EARTH. And THEN it is written, "And Hashem shall be king over all the earth. On that day Hashem shall be one and His Name One" (Zecharyah 14:9).
