Transforming Death into Life

As shared by Michael Berg during the week of Pinchas on July 12, 2017

‫מות‬ ‫מ ות‬
Mavet - death Tav Vav Mem

‫רמח‬ ‫רח‬
Resh-Mem-Chet Resh-Chet (208)
Romach (spear or Numerical value of
sword; 248) Pinchas and Isaac
Zohar Pinchas, Volume 20
464. HE ASKS, IT IS WRITTEN: “AND WHEN PINCHAS...SAW...AND TOOK A SPEAR IN HIS HAND” (Numbers 25:7). What did he see? AND
ANSWERS: He saw a letter Mem flying through the sky, and this LETTER is a sign of the Angel of Death, for THE Mem wants
to be built up with the letter Vav and the letter Tav TO FORM THE WORD MAVET (ENG. ‘DEATH’ – MEM VAV TAV). What did
Pinchas do, for he was then attired with Isaac? He then took that letter Mem and snatched it away FROM THE ANGEL OF
DEATH, and joined it with himself. And when the Angel of Death saw that Pinchas had taken the letter Mem to himself, he
immediately turned back.

‫אור‬ ‫מאורות‬
Or – Light Me’orot –
(consciousness) Lights or luminaries

Prologue of the Zohar, Volume 1

212. This is the secret behind the words, “And let them be for luminaries (Heb. me’orot)” (Genesis 1:14), WHICH IS FORMED
FROM THE TWO WORDS OR (ENG. ‘LIGHT’) AND MAVET (ENG. ‘DEATH’) because the Klipah follows the Brain and the Brain is the
light; the Other Side is death. IN THE WORD ME’OROT SPELLED WITH VAV, the letters forming the word Or are kept together,
while the letters forming the word MAVET are separated from one another. The light is gone from there, the separated
letters of death join one another. THIS MEANS THAT IF WE REMOVE THE LETTERS OF OR FROM WITHIN THE WORD ME’OROT, THE
LETTERS WILL JOIN EACH OTHER AND THE WORD WILL APPEAR AS MAVET.
