" He shall do according to all that proceeded out of his mouth "
The Zohar defines humans as " ‫" מדבר‬, one who speaks. This puts humans above all
nature and closer to God.
The parashah starts with the laws of vows. If a man makes a vow or swears an oath,
he shall not break his word and must act according to the words that came out of his
mouth.
A man has the power to annul his daughter’s or wife’s vows but not his vows.
The reason for that is that a female is a vessel and a man is a channel for the Light.
They are connected to his Light and if he hears his daughter or wife make a vow, it
makes him part of the process. He can then deny channeling the Light from coming to
the vessel.
When the words come out of the mouth, the Light is formed to supply the energy to
it. It is automatic. The man must follow his words because the Light comes in
unconditionally. If he doesn’t follow his words, then that energy is taken by the other
side and used for negativity.
A young female that still lives with her father is connected to his Light. A husband
and wife get connected through marriage and the process of the seven blessings,
"Kidushin" that forms a unit of male and female. The male controls the Light flow into
the unit and therefore he can annul her vows.
A woman is at the Malchut level and her words can manifest without much work. Her
desire (vessel) makes things happen. (It is easy to understand now the saying
2 DailyZohar.co
 Zohar Matot – Draft – unedited- not for
"behind a successful man, there is a successful or powerful wife").
In a true marriage, the husband feels the power of his wife’s desires strongly; she can
make or break the relationship.
The power of the vessel is like a magnet. Like a metal drawn to a magnet, the light is
drawn to a vessel. The bigger the vessel, the bigger the Light drawn into it.
When a woman’s vows are annulled, "‫ַלח ְס י וַיקוק‬- ָ‫ "הּל‬The Light forgives her. The English
translation hides the real spiritual process. The numerical value for the root word "ַ ְ‫לח ס‬
" is 98 and it is the same for the word " ‫" צח‬, which means clean and pure. Because
the man annulled her vow, she is not responsible for its fulfillment and the Light
cleanses her.
If a man annuls the vow of his daughter or wife he takes the responsibility. (Numbers
30:16) "‫את‬-‫שׁ ְמע–וֹ ְו הּ ָנוֲֹﬠ‬ ‫א ֵרי‬ ‫אםֵ י‬
ִ ‫ְו‬- ‫ " פר ָה‬But if he shall make them null and void
,‫שׂא‬ ָ ‫ָנ‬ ‫ אח‬,‫ֵפר ָתם‬
after that he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity ".

In the YHVH name of God, female energy is represented by the letters ’‫(’ה‬H), the first "
‫("ה‬H) (Upper) is for the level of Binah, which is pure light with the desire to share. The
last letter H is for Malchut, representing the lack of light and desire to receive.
The male energy is the first letter "‫("י‬Y) for the levels of Keter and Chokmah and it is
unreachable by us because no desire can be found there for us to connect.
The letter "‫("ו‬V) represents Zeir Anpin and man to channel the light from Binah to
Malchut.
Here is how the Light flows to this world according to the name of God (in a very simple
way).
‫ י‬Yod = Keter and Chokamh (Pure Light)
‫ ה‬He = Binah (Female, pure desire to share, giving life)
‫ ו‬Vav = Zeir Anpin (Male, channels the light)
‫ ה‬He = Malchut (Female, Desire = Vessel=Manifestation, The Light in Malchut take the
shape of the vessel)
We are all responsible for everything that comes out of our mouths. When we speak
we have the power to create. It is done by connecting the Light and the desire (the
vessel).
Watch your words!

“She looks for wool and flax And works with her hands in delight.”
The Zohar quotes a verse from the last chapter of Proverbs. The last 22 verses in this
chapter follow the sequence of the Hebrew Alef-Bet. The sages made it part of our
Shabbat connection and we sing it on Friday nights before the Kidush of the first
meal. It is known as the song “Woman of Valor”. The 22 verses reveal the qualities
and attributes of Malchut and the Shechina. On Friday night we connect Malchut to
Binah, which is the aspect of Light (Binah) and Vessel (Malchut).
Wool is the aspect of Right, Chessed and mercy. It comes from a pure animal. Flax
threads is the aspect of the left column and it comes from vegetation. A ‘Woman of
Valor’ takes wool, Right column, and Flax, Left Column and brings them together to
sweeten judgments in Malchut.
Woman, ‫אשה‬, in Hebrew has the letters of ‫ אש‬that mean ‘fire’ and ‫ ה‬for Binah and
mercy. The fire has the power of transformation and women have the ability to do so
on the level of Malchut.

Women have the power to transform everything on the material level but we must
remember that a woman can build when her vessel ‫ ה‬connects to Binah and women
can burn and destroy if her vessel ‫ ה‬desire is locked on the level of Malchut and the
material world.
Zohar's study and sharing elevate women (and men) to the level of the creative force
that is Binah.

A woman’s root is from the Left column, that is judgment. A man’s root is from the
right column, that is mercy. During the unification, the man contributes to the ‘white’
and the woman contributes the red. The white in the child is the skeleton and the red
is the flesh and blood.
The white is very important for the woman because it sweetens the judgment that is
the foundation of her vessel.
The woman goes through monthly cycles and releases the judgments, ‘red’ with pain.
When she receives into her vessel the ‘white’ of the man, she receives from the right
column and it creates balance in her. If the white turns to a process of procreation,
the aspect of judgment disappears from her vessel and she produces white.
It’s beneficial for men and women to have proper and pure unification in order to bring
balance and blessings into their lives.
The Zohar talks about man and woman but we should study it as Light and vessel.
Every desire we have is a vessel and it comes with the aspect of judgment. We need to
draw pure Light into it in order to have fulfillment from the Light and not from the
judgment of the other side.

In the Torah portion of Mattot and following God’s command, Moses sends
representatives from all the tribes to avenge the negativity that the Midianites brought
on the Israelites.
They were victorious, burned their cities, killed all their kings, all males including
Balaam. When they came back with the loot and all the women and children Moses
was very upset because they kept all the women alive. Moses reminded them that the
women caused the death plague in the camp of Israel.
He ordered them to kill all the women and all the males but they could keep for
themselves only the women that have never had sex with another man.
The Zohar explains that there are two sides to everything, right and left, Garden of
Eden and Hell, this world and the world to come, Israel and the other nations.
In paragraph 4 the Zohar asks why the women of the negative side are forbidden for
sex and explain that a woman is the aspect of judgment as we studied in previous DZ.
If she connects to mercy, meaning men from the Right side, then the right and mercy
overcome the judgment in her vessel. If she had sex with a man of the other side, then
they are both left and cling to each other. The vessel becomes controlled by strong
judgment and mercy (right) cannot win over such a vessel.
Lesson: When we come to remove the negative side we need to destroy its channels
(males). If a vessel comes in contact with negativity then it is contaminated and we
cannot use it.
We should be careful with our connections to energy sources. If it’s not from the right
side then it will contaminate our vessel and we’ll have to work for a long time to cleanse
it.
Just imagine a cup with pure water stained with a drop of black paint. How much
pure water would you have to add to the cup in order to bring the water in the cup
back to a pure state?

The souls of Israelites come from the pure side, which is YHVH. Israelite men and
women cannot connect with souls of the other side because as we explained in previous
DZ study, the judgment will overcome mercy.
To understand the soul of the Israelites we’ll go back to Abraham. He had the
covenant with God and his soul was changed when God added the letter ‫ ה‬H to his
name. From Abram he became Abraham. His wife, Sarah, was barren and God
changed her soul too by changing her name from Sarai ‫ שרי‬to Sara ‫שרה‬. They had a
child, Isaac. Because Sarai couldn’t have children she wanted Abram to have a child
from her maid. The child's name was Ishmael and he was born to Abram before God
changed his name and soul. The soul of Ishmael was mostly impure. He had only
some merit from his father.
Isaac married Rivka, whose uncle was the evil Laban from Aram. Rivka was pure
because she came to Isaac as a child and he waited for her to grow up before praying
for her to be able to have children. They brought twin boys, Esau was to the left, and
Jacob came out holding his ankle.
Jacob came out with a pure and complete soul. He made the major Tikkun of Adam
by working 14 years to earn his connection to two wives, Lea and Rachel, Binah and
Malchut. Jacob also fought and won over the angel of the other side to earn the name
Israel. He was the third pure one in the line from Abraham and merited to be
‘fruitful’. He brought 12 children that are called the children of Israel. They carried
the souls of all Israelites that will reincarnate until the final Tikkun and Final
Redemption.
God took our patriarchs and matriarchs through a process of cleansing and
refinement until Jacob so the Israelites can have the special soul that they have.
True and pure Israelite soul is capable of doing good and sharing without self-serving
agenda. If you connect to the Zohar with appreciation and love the Light, your soul is
pure. If you feel that you expect something in return, a reward, a payment from God
for following the Torah, then you better work hard to remove this negativity. The
only reward an Israelite soul wants is to go back to the state of Adam in the Garden of
Eden and experience immortality. That will happen only after Mashiach comes and
start the process of the Final Redemption by cleansing the world from all negativity.
After that, we will experience the resurrection and immortality.

“For I have said: 'World is mercy (Chessed) will be built; in the very heavens Thou you
establish your faithfulness.”
God calls the souls of the Israelites, Chessed. The world was created with Chessed and
for the existence and correction of the souls of the children of Israel (Jacob).
Chessed is the seventh Sefira when we count from below and it is the one that ‘touches’
the Sefirah of Binah that delivers the life force to the world.
