(12.) Pertaining to the section of Likutay Moharan that is alongside the Legendary Tales (Sichos HaRan §89), on the discourse that begins "Know that there are bundles" etc. — and there a bit is missing from line 9 to line 5 of the adjacent page 14 — and this is how it should read:

"[G-d] passes over the first sin of each and every bundle" — that is, the first sin of each bundle. (And in this the expression "first, first" is very precisely worded. For according to its plain meaning it is puzzling — how can the word "first" be used twice, for there is only one "first"? But according to the above it is very precise — meaning the first sin of each and every bundle, as stated.)

And when the Holy One Blessed He passes over the first sin — the first sin of each and every bundle — all the remaining sins of each and every bundle had been hanging and trailing after the first sin of each and every bundle, as stated. And now that Hashem Yisburach in His mercy has passed over and nullified the first sin — the first sin of each and every bundle — from where will the remaining sins of each and every bundle receive vitality? Since their root, which is the first sin of each and every bundle, has been nullified and cut off by the Holy One Blessed He. And then the remaining sins of each and every bundle return to Hashem Yisburach and come to Hashem Yisburach to receive vitality from Him. And then Hashem Yisburach Himself gives them vitality. And the person is thereby absolved of them, for it is no longer necessary for them to receive vitality from him now, after he has merited to arouse G-d's mercies to pass over the first — the first sin of each and every bundle, as stated. For now the remaining sins of each and every bundle have returned to Hashem Yisburach and receive from Him Blessed He Himself their vitality."

And this is the aspect of [Psalms 51:15]: "I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will return to You." "Your ways" — this is the aspect of the Thirteen Attributes of Mercy, as it is written [Exodus 33:13]: "Make known to me Your ways." And He showed him, the Holy One Blessed He, the Thirteen Attributes of Mercy — namely, through learning to perform and fulfill the Thirteen Attributes mentioned above. Then the Holy One Blessed He passes over the first — the first sin of each and every bundle, as stated. Then: "and sinners will return to You" — that is, the sins remaining in each and every bundle return to You, for they return and come to Hashem Yisburach to receive vitality from Hashem Yisburach Himself — since their root, the first sin of each and every bundle, has been cut off — the sin that the Holy One Blessed He passed over through the Thirteen Attributes of Mercy. But from where does the Holy One Blessed He give them vitality? etc.
