Mishpatim: Verse 472

About Her it is written, "Into Your hand I commit my spirit..." (Tehilim 31:6). The spirit is deposited with Yud Hei Vav Hei, and the Holy One, blessed be He, descends to receive it and place it by the Shechinah. For the Holy One, blessed be He, and His Shechinah guard it. Who brought this about? He who with every precept lifted the Shechinah to the Holy One, blessed be He.

Mishpatim: Verse 473

The seventy words IN THE PSALM, "May Hashem hear you in the day of trouble" (Tehilim 20:2), ALLUDE TO THE SEVENTY SOUNDS MADE BY THE EXPECTANT MOTHER ABOUT TO GIVE BIRTH, BEING ALSO THE SEVENTY SOUNDS GIVEN OUT BY THE SHECHINAH FOR THE DISTRESS OF THE CHILDREN OF YISRAEL PRIOR TO REDEMPTION - CONSIDERED THEN "A DAY OF TROUBLE." HE ASKS, Why does She cry out? HE ANSWERS, It is known that among Yisrael there are masters of Torah and kings from the aspect of the star of dawn, namely the Shechinah. There are two grades, morning and dawn, about which it is said, "at Your right hand are pleasure for evermore (Netzach)" (Tehilim 16:11). The morning of Abraham, Chesed, appears on the ACTUAL Day of Redemption. But the dawn precedes the Day of Redemption, being Netzach, as the Shechinah from this aspect is called 'the star (or doe) of dawn.'

Mishpatim: Verse 474

Hence, "the chief musician (Heb. lamenatzeach)," WRITTEN BEFORE, "MAY HASHEM HEAR YOU IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE," is spelled Netzach and Lamed-Mem, AS THE WORD LAMNATZEACH IS SPELLED LAMED- MEM-NETZACH, SINCE THE PREVALENCE OF DAWN IS FOREVER (HEB. NETZACH). THE NUMERICAL VALUE OF LAMED-MEM IS SEVENTY, which are the seventy sounds that the doe of dawn cries out for her children when the darkness of the exile overcomes them, NAMELY the darkness (Heb. shacharut) of dawn (Heb. shachar) taking place at the last seventy years. At that time will be fulfilled in Yisrael: "Like a woman with child, that draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and cries out in her pangs; so have we been in Your sight, Hashem" (Yeshayah 26:17). And SO SINCE THE SHECHINAH SUFFERS WITH US, "And therefore we hope for You, Hashem our Elohim," THAT YOU WILL REDEEM US.

Mishpatim: Verse 475

And with them, MEANING THE SEVENTY SOUNDS OF THE DOE, BEING THE SHECHINAH, She places Her head between Her knees. Her head is the righteous, the Foundation of the World, and between Her knees are Netzach and Hod; and he takes an oath BY THE RIGHTEOUS to redeem Her children in the morning, which is a lion, NAMELY CHESED REFERRED TO AS 'LION.' The morning alludes to the right hand of Abraham, DEPICTING CHESED, ALLUDING TO Messiah, the son of David, who stems from Judah, about whom it is written, "Judah is a lion's whelp" (Beresheet 49:9). For this reason, THE VERSE SAYS, "As Hashem lives, lie down until the morning" (Rut 3:13), UNTIL THE APPEARANCE OF MESSIAH, THE SON OF DAVID, WHO IS CALLED 'A LION,' AND IS MORNING, NAMELY THE LIGHT OF CHESED.
