Beha'alot'cha: Verse 24
רִבִּי אֲחָא אָמַר, בְּשַׁעֲתָא דַּעֲמִיקָא דְּכֹלָּא נָהִיר, נָהִיר בְּנַחֲלָא. וְנַחֲלָא, נָגִיד בְּאֹרַח מֵישָׁר לְאַשְׁקָאָה כֹּלָּא. כְּדֵין כְּתִיב, בְּהַעֲלוֹת בְּגִין דְּהָא מֵעוּמְקָא דְּכֹלָּא נָפְקֵי, בְּהַעֲלוֹת דְּאָתֵי מִסִּטְרָא עִלָּאָה, דְּעֲמִיקָא דְּכֹלָּא, דְּאִקְרֵי מַחֲשָׁבָה. וְכֹלָּא חַד מִלָּה, וּכְדֵין כנ"י אִתְבָּרְכָא, וּבִרְכָּאן אִשְׁתַּכְּחֵי בְּכֻלְּהוּ עָלְמִין.
Rabbi Acha said: During the time when the most profound of all - THAT IS, SUPERNAL ABA - shines, it shines upon the stream, THE SUPERNAL IMA ABOVE. The stream flows in a straight way, MEANING THROUGH THE CENTRAL COLUMN, THAT IS ZEIR ANPIN, to irrigate all, MEANING ALL THE GRADES OF MALCHUT. Then it is written: "when lights (lit. 'raises')," since everything exudes from the deepest. "When...raises," MEANS that it comes from the deepest side that is referred to as 'thought,' WHICH IS ABA. And all means the same, MEANING THAT IT IS THE SAME AS WHAT RABBI YOSI AND RABBI YEHUDA SAID. Then the Congregation of Yisrael is blessed, and blessings prevail throughout the worlds.
Beha'alot'cha: Verse 25
רִבִּי יִצְחָק פָּתַח, כְּתִיב בָּנֹה בָּנִיתִי בֵּית זְבוּל לָךְ מָכוֹן לְשִׁבְתְּךָ עוֹלָמִים. בֵּית זְבוּל, בֵּית זְבוּל וַדַּאי, כַּד אִתְפְּקָדוּ בִּידָהָא, כָּל גִּנְזֵי מַלְכָּא, וְשַׁלְטָא בְּהוּ. כְּדֵין אִקְרֵי בֵּית זְבוּל. וְרָקִיעַ חַד אִית דְּאִקְרֵי זְבוּל, דְּהָא דָּא אַשְׁכַּח לְקַבְּלָא בִּרְכָאָן, וּלְסַדְּרָא כֹּלָּא, וְהַאי אִקְרֵי בֵּית זְבוּל.
Rabbi Yitzchak opened the discussion with the verse: "I have surely built You a house to dwell in (Heb. zvul), a settled place for You to abide in forever" (I Melachim 8:13). "...A house to dwell in..." most definitely: when all the stored treasures of the King, THAT IS ZEIR ANPIN, were assigned in the hands OF MALCHUT, and she has authority over them, she is called "a house to dwell in." There is one firmament that is called 'Zvul (Eng. 'temple'),' since its function is to receive blessings and put everything in order. That one - MALCHUT, WHEN SHE RULES OVER EVERYTHING - is ALSO called "a house to dwell in."
Beha'alot'cha: Verse 26
ת"ח, כְּתִיב וְלִזְבוּלֻן אָמַר שְׂמַח זְבוּלֻן בְּצֵאתֶךָ וְיִשָּׁשׂכָר בְּאָהֳלֶךָ, מְלַמֵּד דְּאִשְׁתָּתָפוּ כַּחֲדָא. דָּא נָפִיק וְאָגַח קְרָבָא, וְדָא יָתִיב וְלָעֵי בְּאוֹרַיְיתָא. וְדָא יָהִיב חוּלָקָא לְדָא, וְדָא יָהִיב חוּלָקָא לְדָא. בְּחוּלָקֵיהּ דִּזְבוּלוּן יַמָּא, וכ"י אִקְרֵי יָם כִּנֶּרֶת. וְהָכִי אִתְחֲזֵי, בְּגִין דְּהָא תְּכֵלֶת נָפִיק מִתַּמָּן, וְאוֹקְמוּהָ, דְּהָא לְתַתָּא כְּגַוְונָא דִּלְעֵילָּא, יָם כִּנֶּרֶת לְעֵילָּא, יָם כִּנֶּרֶת לְתַתָּא. תְּכֵלֶת לְעֵילָּא, תְּכֵלֶת לְתַתָּא, וְכֹלָּא בַּאֲתָר חַד.
Come and behold: it is written, "and of Zebulun he said, 'Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out; and Issachar, in your tents'" (Devarim 33:18), to teach us that they participated in a mutual partnership. The one went out and made war and the other sits and is involved in learning Torah. This one gives a part FROM HIS BOUNTY to that one, and that one gives a part OF HIS TORAH STUDY to this one, SINCE ISSACHAR IS THE SECRET OF TIFERET AND ZEBULUN IS THE SECRET OF MALCHUT. In Zebulun's lot was the sea. The Congregation of Yisrael, WHICH IS MALCHUT, is called the 'Sea of Galilee (Heb. Kineret).' It was worthy TO BE CALLED thus because blue comes from there, SINCE BLUE IS THE SECRET OF MALCHUT, AND THE SEA OF GALILEE IS MALCHUT. They have explained that the lower is similar to the higher. There is a Sea of Galilee above, WHICH IS MALCHUT, and a Sea of Galilee below; blue above, WHICH IS MALCHUT, and blue below. Everything pertains to one area, WHICH IS MALCHUT.
