149) Happy is Moses, for the Creator wishes his happiness. It is written about him, “Let thy father and thy mother be glad.” “Let thy father be glad” is the Creator, and your mother is the assembly of Israel, Malchut. “And let her that bore you rejoice” is the mother of Moses below. The Creator loved him more than all the prophets in the world, for his prophecy was without any intermediations, as it is written, “With him do I speak mouth to mouth.”

150) “And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying: ‘Heal her now, O God, I beseech Thee.’” This is the meaning of the Holy Name of eleven letters, the same eleven letters in the words, “Heal her now, O God, I beseech Thee” [in Hebrew]. Moses did not wish to pray further because he did not wish to trouble the King any further, which is why the Creator wished his happiness. And in every place, the Creator wishes for the honor of the righteous more than His own.

In the future, the Creator will avenge the insult of Israel from the idol worshipping nations and will delight Israel with the joy of Zion, as it is written, “And they shall come and sing in the height of Zion.” And then, “And a redeemer will come to Zion.”
