in the name elokim (5) plus the kolel gives 206. this is the numerical value of the word for ghail h [barad. barad: beit-reish-dalet= 2+ 200+ 4= 206. this plague issued from the chesed of the holy feminine principle, for hail is made of water, which derives from and expresses chesed. but it was commingled with flaming fire, originating in gevurah. it smote the tiferet of the evil z feir anpin. 8. locusts. this plague manifests four names elokim spelled out. this name spelled out in two iterations uses 52 letters. these four spellings-out are called the four gsons of g-d. h there are two that originate in chochmah and two that originate in binah. their combined number of letters is the same as that of the word for glocust h [arbeh. these locusts were an impure species, signifying strict jud

elokim spelled out. this name spelled out in two iterations uses 52 letters. these four spellings-out are called the four gsons of g-d. h there are two that originate in chochmah and two that originate in binah. their combined number of letters is the same as that of the word for glocust h [arbeh. these locusts were an impure species, signifying strict judgment, as opposed to the pure species of locusts [permitted by the torah. gthe torah spoke of four sons h;8 these are the four names havayah spelled out with the letter hei. the name elokim (alef-lamed-hei-yud-mem) spelled out twice: 8 the passover hagadah, referring to the four times in the torah where g-d describes how we are to teach our children about the exodus from egypt. the arizal on parashat vaeira (2) 14 alef alef lamed pei lam

f the name elokim is, so to speak, the gson h of elokim. 4 x 52= 208. arbeh: alef-reish-beit-hei= 1+ 200+ 2+ 5= 208. as we have seen, the numerical value of the name havayah when spelled out with the letter hei is also 52. this spelling out of this name can thus alos be considered a gson h of havayah. since the name elokim signifies judgment, the gsons h of this name are the forbidden, non-kosher locusts. the four gsons of havayah h are the kosher species of locusts. they issued from the binah of the holy feminine principle, and smote the gevurah of the evil z feir anpin. 9. darkness. this is alluded to by the well-known 325 states of judgment, which we explained elsewhere. these states of judgment are the 320 powerful sparks, the states of judgment of the egyptians. the additional 5 are a

him h: within pharaoh himself. the conventional translation of these words is gin his midst, h or something similar. the literal translation is, however, closer to the mystical meaning of the verse. to return to our subject: g-d wanted to smite them from this point on using the power of the spellings-out of the names havayah. now, the plagues that were going to occur after this point were that of locusts, that of darkness, that of killing the firstborn, followed by the splitting of the sea. corresponding to these four are the four different methods of spelling-out the name havayah, in ascending order: the locusts came from spelling out the name havayah with the letter hei, giving a numerical value of 52. the darkness came from spelling out the name with the letter alef, giving a numerical

l value of yitzchak) is [208] the numerical value of the word for glocust. h yitzchak( gisaac h: yud-tzadik-chet-kuf= 10+ 90+ 8+ 100= 208. arbeh( glocust h: alef-reish-beit-hei= 1+ 200+ 2+ 5= 208. this is the mystical meaning of the verse, gi multiplied [abraham fs] seed and i gave him isaac. h6 the word for gi multiplied h (arbeh) is the same as the word for glocust. h presumably is this because locusts travel in swarms. together[ gisaac h and glocusts h] produce the numerical value of the word gbrow h [kadkod. they represent two spellings-out of the name havayah, each having the numerical value of 52 and being spelled-out with the letter hei, as we have illustrated. this is the mystical meaning of the verse g cand as the brow of the consecrated one of his brothers, h7 which [jacob] said

s; this is why they live in the water. certain aspects of chesed are merely channeled through yesod, while others become part of yesod itself (since yesod is principally a sefirah of transmission, it reflects the giving aspect of chesed. in the imagery of kabbalah, water is a metaphor for chesed (and therefore a manifestation of chesed, since water always flows downward and is the source of life. locusts derive from the states of gevurah [within yesod] as they return upward. this is the mystical meaning of the verse: gextend your hand over cthe locusts and they will ascend c, h1 for they manifest the principle of ascent. in order to transmit properly, yesod must evince gevurah as well as chesed, since unmitigated and unrestricted giving is never effective. this element of withdrawal or res

al sefirot from chesed to malchut. joseph personifies yesod chiefly because he (1) sustained and provided for the entire kingdom (malchut) of egypt during the years of famine, and (2) preserved his sexual integrity (sexuality being associated with yesod, the sefirah of coupling) even while immersed in the depraved culture of egypt. 1 exodus 10:12. the arizal on parashat shemini 440 since fish and locusts derive from the sefirah of yesod, which is referred to as being galive, h they do not require ritual slaughter [as do beasts and cattle, but rather only ggathering up. h man, being created in gthe image of g-d, h reflects both in his body and soul the structure the sefirot assume when they form a partzuf. the correspondence between the limbs of the body and the sefirot is as follows: keter

bbalah gbeing alive, h just as in halachah, the erect male reproductive organ is called galive h (and in its flaccid form, it is called gdead h. similarly, effective communication is characterized by animation and excitement, as opposed to a gdeadpan h style that does not excite the listener. yesod, then, at least when acting effectively, is called the glive h sefirah. thus, the animals (fish and locusts) that derive from this sefirah are considered to possess intrinsic life-force, and therefore do not have to undergo any ritual process to prepare them for jewish consumption (note that the arizal does not yet explain why fowl, even though deriving from the same sefirah, do require ritual slaughter) this is not the case with beasts and cattle; they derive from the nukva [of z feir anpin] an

have to undergo any ritual process to prepare them for jewish consumption (note that the arizal does not yet explain why fowl, even though deriving from the same sefirah, do require ritual slaughter) this is not the case with beasts and cattle; they derive from the nukva [of z feir anpin] and therefore require ritual slaughter. beasts and cattle are considered a lower level of life than fowl and locusts. in order for their life force to be properly assimilated, it must undergo the additional rectification process of ritual slaughter. through this process the life force inherent in the animal flesh is rendered capable of being absorbed into spirituality through being eaten by the jew. the arizal now turns the discussion to the subject of the birds. now, it is the angels that issue from the

t is the angels that issue from the yesod of z feir anpin of atzilut. these [angels] are the [spiritual] birds that derive from this level. as it is said of [the the arizal on parashat shemini 441 angel] gabriel, gand the bird will fly in heaven. h2 in contrast, physical birds derive from yesod of z feir anpin of [the three lower worlds] beirah, yetzirah, and asiyah. whereas the physical fish and locusts derive from yesod of z feir anpin of atzilut, the fowl derive only from the projection of this level onto the lower spiritual worlds. the difference between atzilut and the three subsequent worlds is that the pervading consciousness in the world of atzilut is that of total submersion in the divine presence. gdenizens h of this world do not conceive of themselves as independent beings, but

s produced the emotional reaction (z feir anpin) and its expression (nukva, it gnurtures h them, ensuring that they indeed properly emotionalize and express the idea and concept they derive from. the physical manifestation of this principle in man is the nourishment the infant derives from its mother fs milk. beasts and cattle are also mammals, for they, too, derive from nukva. in contrast, fish, locusts, and birds produce no milk and they do not suckle, for they derive from the yesod of ima, and ima therefore does not suckle them, for [as is said in the zohar] ima extends only so far as hod. although beasts and cattle are not created gin the image h of g-d, and therefore do not reflect completely the phenomenology of atzilut, the fact that they originate in nukva and nukva suckles from im

ngs i have wrought in egypt, and my signs which i have done among them; that ye may know how that i [am] the lord. 10:3 and moses and aaron came in unto pharaoh, and said unto him, thus saith the lord god of the hebrews, how long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me. 10:4 else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will i bring the locusts into thy coast: 10:5 and they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field: 10:6 and they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the egyptians; which neither

[even] all that the hail hath left. 10:13 and moses stretched forth his rod over the land of egypt, and the lord brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all [that] night [and] when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts. 10:14 and the locusts went up over all the land of egypt, and rested in all the coasts of egypt: very grievous [were they] before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such. 10:15 for they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of egypt. 10:16 then pharaoh called for moses and aaron in haste;

, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them; 6:27 then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people israel, when thou hast taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given unto thy people for an inheritance. 6:28 if there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillers; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness [there be] 6:29 [then] what prayer [or] what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all thy people israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house: 6:30 then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place

fool when he is filled with meat; 30:23 for an odious [woman] when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress. 30:24 there be four [things which are] little upon the earth, but they [are] exceeding wise: 30:25 the ants [are] a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer; 30:26 the conies [are but] a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks; 30:27 the locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands; 30:28 the spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings palaces. 30:29 there be three [things] which go well, yea, four are comely in going: 30:30 a lion [which is] strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any; 30:31 a greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom [there is] no rising up. 30:32 if thou hast done fool

herously, they shall deal treacherously with thee. 33:2 o lord, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble. 33:3 at the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered. 33:4 and your spoil shall be gathered [like] the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them. 33:5 the lord is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled zion with judgment and righteousness. 33:6 and wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times [and] strength of salvation: the fear of the lord [is] his treasure. 33:7 behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly. 33:8 the highways lie waste, the
