26. “If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that she gives birth prematurely, yet no harm follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman’s husband imposes on him.” “If men strive” are Michael and Gabriel, right and left, HG. When they are disputed and are not incorporated in one another, “and hurt a woman with child,” namely the assembly of Israel, the Shechina [Divinity], whose lights are blocked due to the strife, her children, Israel, go out to exile. “He shall surely be punished” is Sam, who incited Israel to sin and cause a dispute between right and left. “As the woman’s husband imposes on him” is the Creator.
