And in this section, Rabbi Levi: Why did Korah divide Moses, saying, "I am the son of Shemen, the son of Yitzhar, as it is said, 'Your wine, your Yitzhar,' etc., 'Your wine is wine, and your Yitzhar is oil, and in all the vessels that you give the oil, it is found to be superior,' etc. And what about those who were anointed with oil alone, who assumed the priesthood and the kingdom? I, the son of Shemen, was not anointed and became priest and king immediately. We divided Moses, etc., etc., at length. The connection between the hairs of the beard and the threads of the tzitzit And to understand this and also the belonging to the dispute that divided Aaron's priesthood, also divided on the mitzvah of the tzitzit, just as the Pharisees divided on the mitzvah of the tzitzit, just as the Pharisees did, is a tallit that is all blue obligated to have a tzitzit or exempt? He said to them, "It is obligated!" They began to play with him, etc. And also in the case of many who were jealous according to the saying, "And they passed over the razor," and Aaron his brother adorned it, that is, as the best oil descends upon the beard, Aaron's beard. And to understand all this, we must first briefly consider the matter of the commandment of making tzitzit, as it is written, "And they shall make for them a tzitzit, a thread of blue thread, and you shall remember it, and you shall not turn away." What is the matter of this illumination of tzitzit, which is in the form of hairs alone, since hairs are not self-contained and the essence of man as a whole is apparently lower in man. But the matter is that rather, this extension by means of the hairs, which are the tzitzit, is what is extended from above from the order of the chain of cause and effect, and therefore it is impossible to extend only by means of the form of hairs. And like the thirteen measures of mercy, which are extended in terms of hairs. And it is like the parable of the hairs that are not united with the person like the organs, for one can cut a hair and it will not hurt him, which is not the case with the organ, but nevertheless they are connected by their head to the brain and from there they suck. And they have become so small that they have become like a separate thing. A parable that a person must know how to enlarge and reduce himself according to need And according to this, I have understood what is said in the many verses of Genesis, verse 4: One of my children asked Rabbi Meir, is it possible that he in whom it is written, "Without the heavens and the earth I fill," would speak to Moses from between the two curtains of the ark? He said to him, "Bring me large mirrors (enlargers)," He said to him, "See in your appearance in them he saw it large," He said to him, "Bring me small mirrors (reducers)," He said to him, "See in your appearance in them he saw it small." He said to him: "What are you, that you are flesh and blood, you change yourself in whatever you wish, He who said and there was the world, blessed be He, all the more so." When He wills, am I not full of heaven and earth? And when He wills, He would speak with Moses between the two curtains of the ark. What is called fornication that prohibits the priesthood, and what does this have to do with the threads of blue in the tassel? Now we must understand the matter of the threads of blue in the tassel, because blue is from the word fornication, which means that evil will burn from within, as it is said, and the evil will burn from within you. And as it is written, you shall not turn after your hearts and after your eyes, after which you go astray. And now the word for a prostitute is like a prostitute who receives from another influencer, so the assembly of Israel are the ones who receive from God, the Blessed One, who is their influencer, as it is said in the Midrash in the wilderness, what this change has for her is lust, so the righteous have for her is lust, as it is said, My soul will hate you in the night. And this you shall not turn after your hearts, for when you receive from another influencer, it is a form of...
