Pil?l r% Land of the Living. In Psalm
1425: "I cry to you, 0 Lord; I say, 'You are my
refuge, my portion in the land of the living
[D'WI m3, in-land-of living-ones] ."' In this
quotation it is "in" (Beth) the land of the living.
Relates to Hidden Light and "his anointedw-in
this, says Case, is the whole secret.
The Zohar [I:66A, pp.216-2171 adds: "The
esoteric doctrine is that in the same way as the
soul has to be clothed in a bodily garment in
order to exist in this world, so is she given an
ethereal supernal garment where with to exist in
the other world, and to be enabled to gaze at the
effulgence of life radiating from that 'land of the
living'. Hence it is that Moses was not able to
draw near to the place of God and to fix his gaze
on what was to be seen there until he was first
enveloped in another garment, as we read: 'And
Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and
went up unto the mount' [Exodus 24:18], that is,
he enveloped himself in the cloud, as in a
garment, and then he 'drew near into the thick
darkness where God was' [Exodus 20: 181, and
'was in the mount forty days and forty nights'
[Exodus 24: 181, and was able to see what he did
see. In similar fashion the souls of the righteous
in the other world clothe themselves in garments
belonging to that world, so that they can endure
to gaze on the light which is diffused in that 'land
of the living'. This is what Hezekiah meant when
he said 'God, God in the land of the living' in
Isaiah 38:ll. He was afraid that he would be
found unworthy to gaze on that light because he
had allowed the life-giving stream to cease with
him, through not begetting children.
Isaiah 38:ll: "I said, I shall not see the Lord,
even the Lord, in the land of the living: I shall
behold man no more with the inhabitants of the
world."
