Derech Mitzvosecha Minu Melech #9 - Why did Yaakov & Yosef give away years to Dovid? RC Dalfin

So good day. We're learning this of We're on page 218. 15 lines from the bottom. If you count up 15 lines, we are the fifth word into the line. The line begins with the words. So we're we're in the middle of studying here the explanation why Abra Jacob and and um Yseph gave years from their life to David. The last thing we explained is that the zar skips yeets. Why didn't ye give any life to David? And the explained because judgment and malus David is malus. Malus doesn't need more judgment. Malus needs kingship, royalty, needs more sweetness, more kindness. This is what we learned in the last year. It's very, very important. Now, he goes to the second of the patriarchs that gave years to David, which is Jacob. And explains that and Jacob gave King David 28 years of his life that he would have lived another 28 years. He gave him away completely to King David. question is why and explains this is based on the idea that's written by after the the sin of with the golden calf and now Hashem's power of of rulership of Adnai which means rulership will become And that's a verse in the Torah and the explains a little lesson in Kabala. Now when you have let's say the letter alf is one letter but if you write out alf it's three letters alf lamid lang face fit the long pay al so it becomes three letters if you then continue with dalid we taken out the name of God. Adai is dalid or dalid. Yeah. Each letter has what's called a filling an inside. So if you count all the letters, oh that's called milui. Then there is something called milo de milui. The filling within the filling what is that olive I said is alf now within olive lammed pay there's another olive lid pay so it has again another three letters for the olive so from the one olive that you write you get how many nine letters um one six letters And if you do that for and you get a total of 28. Now it doesn't come out to 28. So people it's been already discussed but generally it's 28. Let's go back to the text. So he says which equals 28 letters. So now what does it say? And now and now right after the of the of the of the golden calf. That's why it says the coak which is potential but spells 28. The 28 letters within the name will become great. That's the connection to the 28 years that Jacob gave. Now the question is why? Why was that necessary? As he explains the name of it is the source for the three worlds. Right? The world of Ailos is not sourced by olive daly. Olive dal nun is already rulership. There is a world. The beginning of the world in its initial stages is when the world of Bria, creation, formation and action. So those three worlds are under the spell of the name of God denoting rulership and the name of the rulership invests itself in the three worlds to enliven them. When is it applicable to say ruler when there are servants and slaves? If there aren't any servants and slaves, the whole idea of being a ruler doesn't apply as it says in the you have let known you God let us know that you are a ruler over all. So in other words, the idea of knowing that God is a ruler is when there is all when there are SUBJECTS ALL BEING SUBJECTS WHO GOD IS A ruler over. Hence we see THAT WITHOUT SUBJECTS THERE WOULD be no rulership or adni and the meaning that of the filling of adni this means the concealment within adnai there's an aspect of adni that's concealed from the creatures of of creation. for the worlds of creation, formation, and action. And it's impossible for them to feel that level of of rulership and dominion. It's concealed and hidden within. That's why it's called a filling. YOU HAVE TO GO INSIDE. IN OTHER WORDS, WHAT DO YOU SEE ON THE OUTSIDE MARK? You see it olive. When you you see the letter olive, the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, you don't see how the word is written. L, which is alf. You only see one letter. You don't say three letters. Not that the three letters don't exist. The three letters are concealed. That's what the Reb is saying here. similar. This would be to the letters of a word which are concealed within the word when a person when when a person hears me say when I say something to you or you hear you hear the outside you don't hear the filling olive I want you to learn the olive base they the normal person when he hears I want you to learn the olive base olive means one letter olive He doesn't think, "Wait a minute. He's telling me to learn not only the one letter, he's telling me to learn three letters. Alf." No, I want you to learn the alf bays. The average person will tell you, "Oh, he's telling me to learn the Hebrew alphabet. THE FIRST LETTER IS THE FIRST LETTER OLIVE." LIKE NUMBER ONE. THINK FOR A MOMENT the number one. One. When you spell it out, it's zero. It's o ne. It's three letters. So that's what he's saying here that the three letters are concealed within the one and what's and and but what's revealed is the one letter in Hebrew it's the olive what is heard by the other person it's the actual letter that is heard which is the alf one letter Abraham but the concealed part filled part is hidden within it in a manner of concealment. The name of Hashem of rulership adnai is revealed to the worlds of creation formation and action to enliven them by him by God being a ruler over them and a ruler of all world over all worlds. She said that itself enliven them. In other words, what is primary for rulership? It's that I'm a ruler AND THAT YOU'RE A SUBJECT AND YOU LISTEN TO ME. Not the hidden part within rulership. You know who I am and where I COME FROM, WHERE I STUDIED AND WHAT I know. All of that isn't relevant to rulership. It's there in a concealed way. Further in the text, but the inner and the essence cannot reveal itself in the lower worlds of of creation, formation, and action. It's concealed within it. That's why when you do come up with the filling with the that it equals 28 Very interesting. What does it say in the PD? And now God's God will become great through the through the power of rulership says that EQUAL IS 28 28 that the panemius that's hidden within rulership makes God the real great one. In other words, THE THERE'S TWO ASPECTS to rulership. There's rulership po in actuality be I'm a ruler over subjects. That doesn't make you yet great. WHAT MAKES YOU GREAT IS THE INNER ASPECT OF YOU OF of the name of God. If it was only the outer o only the outer aspect of God's name of rulership, he wouldn't BE GREAT. WHY? BECAUSE HE'S ALREADY HE'S JUST A HE'S JUST A RULER. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT REAL GREATNESS, REAL awesomeness that comes from the palemius. SO THAT'S WHY THE VERSE SAYS if you want to haved means greatness LOOK AT LOOK AT THE 28 WHICH IS THE INSIDE OF what a what a beautiful explanation next line three lines of blessed memory when he desired to draw forgiveness and pardoning to the Jewish people alto for their sin of the golden calf, right? We just sinned. We're in big trouble, Mark. WE REALLY GOOFED UP. COMES ALONG MOSES AND SAYS, "I'M GONNA HELP YOU GUYS." SO, what does he do? He says this verse Adnai. May the name of God Adnai, the the Kak, the potential of Adnai, the inner aspect of Adnai be heightened, be exalted. She is she is that there be the revelation of the potential and the concealment. Next page. I'll shame of the name because of that there'll be pardoning of sin because this experience of is from the level of of lengthy lengthy anger meaning not getting angry quickly. That level of it pardons sin, it carries sin, it forgives sin. And this is also explanation to what the rabbis teaches us in the Talmud. Whoever responds with all their might in they tear up. They they they eradicate a a a a a bad decree that there might be on this person that's been decreed for for for of 70 years. There's a concept that is axar for 70 years on a on a person for whatever reason says the when you answer you know the third part of mark right that's one number two number three that's the three third part third one we say may God's name be Wait, we all say it together and out loud. So the the Tal there's a teaching in the Talmet and he quotes it here that when you answer with all your might doesn't mean you have to scream like a lunatic but at the same time it doesn't mean you should say it like you put some heart and soul and and zest into the as you answer it. It will unull a decree that there might be on you for for 70 years. It goes away immediately. Says that what does it mean with all your might? Look at this explanation. The word has there's 28 letters. If you count the letters from the first, listen to this mark, from the first word of there are 29 words. 28 words. This is the filling the inside of which is the real strength and innermost of of rulership and THAT'S WHY it has the ability to destroy and eradicate and enull a decree of 70 years just like Moshe used it to destroy and to eradicate to enull the sin of the golden calf which was the greatest sin the greatest reach THE GREATEST SEPARATION FROM GOD, MAKING idol by the nation, the Jewish nation and all that and andu by drawing drawing the name Adnai into the Jewish people they WERE FORGIVEN THEY WERE PARDONED AND THIS IS WHAT WE SAY by the way we mentioned this idea and that's why The third patriarch Jacob gave David, King David 28 years. What does it mean? He gave him. He drew this emanation, this energy, which is the the filling of Adnai and the primary force. He g he drew it in. it should be invested into David's kingship that shown in the kingship of David. So in other words, it was YAKOV BY GIVING 28 of his years. He sustained and made David's reign sustainable otherwise he would have been long gone because of the issues all the issues that he faced. What gave him the stamina to to endure AND TO BE VICTORIOUS AND TO ULTIMATELY be David the king of Israel? It was the 28 YEARS THAT YAKOV gave him. This is beautiful because the middle rod referring to the rod, the three rods on the tabernacle in the in the in in the Mishkan on the on the ark in the tabernacle. This is the middle rod which runs from the extreme upper known as the crown to the lowest rung of the of which is known in which is rulership because this is the idea of mercy and by arousing mercy. It arouses way above above. It touches the the deepest part of God as we as we say in Psalms and we say it every day in our prayers in the blessings of Schma with your abundance of mercy have mercy on us. Why? It should say with your mercy have mercy over us. It doesn't say that. IT SAYS WITH YOUR ABUNDANCE OF MERCY BECAUSE THAT'S A REFERENCE to the highest level of mercy coming from the very essence of GOD WHICH WE BEQUEST and get visav our prayers to to to bring to bring us to a place of solace and and and and and tranquility. Who? He specifically it was he who drew into David the 28 letters the of the the filling the inside. Stop. Here ends the segment in the mimemer about why Jacob gave 28 of his years to David. Now comes the next part. Yseph saved us. How many years did the says how many years did Yseph give to David of his life? He took away Zion 37. Question is what? So he starts explaining who you this is 10 emanations. THE THREE HEADS ARE CALLED 30. Three times 10 is 30. You should call them. Each one consists of 10 and the seven lower ones are called seven. So you have 37 three time each one has within within it 10 components. So it's three * 10 is 30. And then you HAVE THE SEVEN IS SEVEN. HENCE 37 is explained in the on the verse that Sarah g lived 100 years which is the level of the crown and she lived another 20 years 120. the father and the mother each one had 10. So it's times two is 20. Hence 120. And then it SAYS SHE LIVED 127 YEARS. Those are the seven ones. The seven attributes. Similarly, this is the accounting of the 37 years that Yseph gave David. The first three are 30 Zion and the seven lower ONES ARE THE SEVEN AS THEY'RE enumerated from. Okay. says, "Thank you very much. You've given me a cabalistic explanation. I'd like to understand this. Is there any like rationale and reasoning here?" So he says, "Yeah, let's we have to study it." And he starts studying it. The idea is no. What are these three these three heads that they that that Jo Yseph Joseph gave David? Wait a minute. We said earlier in the mimer that is and Adam gave 70 years to David. That means he gave his wisdom his level of wisdom to David. And we explained that. So why do we NEED TO HAVE AGAIN MORE WISDOM GIVEN BY Joseph to David? That's the question. The idea is the we explained earlier says that there are two effluences two ways of going to one that's what we call wisdom which has nothing to do with this world. It's otherworldly. B the second type this is what we said earlier the wisdom within the how to govern and guide the EMOTIONS TO BE RIGHT YOU NEED intelligence because IF NOT YOU GO OFF on a kakami way a ridiculous way right who guides the midos to be PROPER THE EMOTIONS BE PROPER the wisdom the intelligence that type of is not OTHERWORLDLY BUT RATHER this worldly. this world explains this means practically in regard to David how the worlds should be CONDUCTED and and and and when and and how should be the the affluence whether it be from benevolence, kindness or judgment or mercy. And we call this the moak the intellect of which are the six. But if you look at in its very essence IT TRANSCENDS EMOTIONS. HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW YOU CONDUCT YOURSELF AND how you behave. Forget about it being practically associated with behavior. It isn't it isn't even at a in a in a in a domain in a plateau WHICH HAS ANYTHING TO do with a reason for SOMETHING ELSE. IT'S PURE WISDOM. RIGHT? It's like you know a a study of let's say philosophy for THE SAKE OF PHILOSOPHY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PRACTICALITY. Eloh this is essential wisdom gives an example. There are here on earth different types of wisdoms that have nothing to do with behavior and emotions and character. The study of Talmud and other wisdoms. YOU COULD LEARN TALMA JUST FOR PURE INTELLECTUAL sake and so to other wisdoms. It says in the explanation of the three that are are completely removed explains over there in the referring to the there's a explains the concept of something being holy in its own domain having nothing to do with anything lower than it did. So now in in rulership and kingship there are also these two aspects of gave David not the higher level of wisdom HE GAVE HIM THE LOWER LEVEL of wisdom how to conduct his his kingship HE SHOWED HIM HOW TO deal with every person's needs that was and that and that's that takes wisdom. That's what Yseph gave David. And he showed him not to give too much and not to give too little, not to add and not to subtract. This is what we call in the lower level of but first man sources from the higher level of wisdom he he delivered effluence of of of other world of other worldly of the essence has nothing has nothing to do with emotions and and behavior And since Yseph was the ruler over the land in Egypt, he was the level of within the six midos which we call superernal which primarily impacts and gives the affluence to the the attribute of kingship. Who? Hamashir ye WAS THE PROVIDER OF FOOD. Mark there was a there was there was a a famine. And who got them food? Joseph. In other words, he practically made it happen. That's why it was Yseph's particularly who gave it over to them. He gives over all of this from the 10, right? Three * 10 to David which is the 37 years. So this ends the explanation of the why Joseph gave 37 years to tomorrow we'll continue. Have a great day. Shalom. Bye.
