Elijah, Do Not Delay Coming Down
125. Here I have found a remedy to what is written about him, “And they made his grave with the wicked.” Since this burial is for Abba and Ima, who are ZA and Malchut, who are in exile with Israel, the verse “nor defile himself for his father or his mother” came true in me.
Elijah, do not delay coming down, since even though you are a priest, since Pinhas is Elijah, he will be defiled for his father and his mother. This is so because the Creator and His Shechina are in exile, and they are the father and the mother, and the exile is their burial, and I am buried between them. Swear in the name of the living God, do not delay coming down.
Holy angels, winged ones, swear, take this oath, Malchut, who is called “oath,” and raise the queen on your wings with her honor to the Creator.
126. High angels, the messengers of the Creator on the right, and His messenger angels on the left, and the angels of Abba and Ima, ZA and Malchut, who are the middle line, will hide Malchut above and below. They will cover her with the letter Vav, ZA, with his six wings. It is written about him, “Seraphim [type of angels] stand above him, six wings six wings each. With two, he covers his face,” of his oath, which is the letter Hey, the fourth letter of HaVaYaH, Malchut, “and with two he covers his legs,” of Malchut, “and with two, they fly her” to ZA.
127. “And you, Elijah, who has risen to the Cause of Causes, who loaded you with abundance, go down to Malchut and be a Cherub under her, to bring her down filled with abundance, and the angels of Abba and Ima, who are Yod-Hey, will be crowning her in your descent.”
The angels of Malchut’s husband, who is Vav, the son of Abba and Ima, will be covering her and flying her from six wings, which are from six letters Aleph-Bet-Gimel Yod-Tav-Tzadi, and in thirty-six letters in six names that are hanging from the Aleph-Bet-Gimel Yod-Tav-Tzadi, which are Kof-Reish-Ayin Shin-Tet-Nun, Nun-Gimel-Dalet Yod-Kaf-Shin, Bet-Tet-Reish Tzadi-Tav-Gimel, Het-Kof-Bet Tet-Nun-Ayin, Yod-Gimel-Lamed Peh-Zayin-Kof, Shin-Kof-Vav Tzadi-Yod-Tav. These are as the count of the word “him,” as it is written, “Seraphim standing above him,” meaning in these thirty-six letters.
His letter Hey, Malchut, descends hidden and covered from them, and the angels, which are from the righteous one who lives forever, ordain her over you like animals that support the throne.
128. Although the letter Hey of Atzilut of the name HaVaYaH, is Malchut, which supports everything, you must not fly up and come down unless with Malchut. Like the organs of the body have no movement without a soul, so the organs she has, her Sefirot, expand over you to support you with them. So is the letter Hey, like the sea, if she has vessels to fill, they are filled by her and she spreads in them like streams spreading from the sea onto the earth. If she has no vessels, she is Hey alone, singular, without the expansion of the streams.
129. So are the vessels of the Shechina. Above, they are holy angels; below, they are Israel, if there are virtuous ones among them, with Hesed, mighty Hassidim, authors of the Torah, Prophets, and Writings, righteous ones, people of kingship, of whom it is written, “who have the strength to stand in the king’s hall,” in the Standing Prayer in the King’s hall, who is ADNI. Her king is HaVaYaH.
The heads of Israel are wise and intelligent, and not the heads of the mixed-multitude, of whom it is written, “Her adversaries have become the master.” Malchut spreads over them with her ten Sefirot. At that time, the Cause of Causes descends on her in Yod-Vav-Dalet Hey-Aleph Vav-Aleph-Vav Hey-Aleph, to descend upon them, to establish the Shechina on them.
130. At a time when, as it is written, “And he turned here and here and saw that there was no person,” she says, “For why should I be as one who veils,” veiled within herself without spreading over them? The Creator shouted at her and said, “How she sits alone?”
131. Meanwhile, Rabbi Shimon arose and said, “Master of the world, here is Moses, of whom it is written, ‘The man Moses was very humble.’ Thus far, ‘and saw that there was no person.’ But here, ‘And the man Moses,’ who is tantamount to sixty myriads [10,000] from Israel, and it is written about him, ‘From His dwelling place, He observes,’ which has the acronym of Moses [in Hebrew], and it is written about the generation of the last exile, ‘And the Lord afflicted him with the iniquity of all of us.’ He incorporates ten virtues, of which You said, ‘I will not destroy because of the ten.’ Go down to him to watch over the world, and keep Your words that You are truth and all Your words are truth.”
132. He dealt Hesed with the Shechina and tied her maidservant with might, so the maidservant would be tied under her mistress with a knot of Tefillin. He toiled for her with the Torah of truth, as it is written, “The law [Torah] of truth was in his mouth,” and he toiled for her in the Prophets and in the Writings. In the Prophets, NH, in several solaces. In the Writings, which are Malchut, in ten kinds of psalms, in her ten Sefirot. In the righteous, Yesod, in the eighteen blessings in the Standing Prayer.
133. The authors of the Mishna do not know Moses. Alijah with your oath for her, in the name HaVaYaH and in the explicit name, reveal him to all the leaders of the authors of the Mishna, so they will know him and he will no longer be defiled, as it is written about him, “And he is pierced by our iniquities.” You have no need to receive permission from the Creator, for I am the messenger of the Master of the world, and I know that if you do this, the Creator will thank you for it and your children will rise thanks to it above and below. Do not delay from doing, not a week, not a month, and not a year, but right away.
