If Men Struggle

371) “If men struggle with each other and strike a pregnant woman, and her children come out, yet there is no calamity, he shall surely be punished as the woman’s husband may demand of him.” “If men struggle with each other” are Michael and SAM, Michael from the side of Kedusha [holiness], and SAM from the side of impurity. “And [they] strike a pregnant woman” is the Assembly of Israel, Malchut. “And her children come out” to exile. “He shall surely be punished” refers to SAM, “As the woman’s husband may demand of him” is the Creator.
