Based on the ma'amar \"Tiku\" beginning from the rebuke in Likutay Tinyona section 8: For it is stated there at the beginning of the ma'amar — and cited above several times — that through eating, which is mezonah d'gufa [bodily sustenance], the mezonah d'nishmasa [soul's sustenance] is weakened. For through eating one strengthens, Heaven forbid, the akev [heel] of the Sitra Achra — in the bechinas: \"He who eats my bread has raised his heel against me\" [Psalms 41:10], and so on. And the rectification for this is the bechinas voice, and so on. And to arrive at this voice is through prayer — for the essence of prayer is compassion and supplication, and the essence of compassion depends on da'as, and so on. And when the Sitra Achra suckles from the compassion, then the compassion and the da'as are blemished, and so on. And then the prayer is in the bechinas judgment [din], and from this comes the lust for immorality [ta'avat niyuf], and so on. And then when there is lust for immorality — blemish of da'as — then the prayer is in the bechinas din and the Sitra Achra swallows it, for the Sitra Achra is the bechinas dinim, and therefore it swallows the prayer which is in the bechinas din, Heaven forbid. Then one needs a master of great power [ba'al ko'ach gadol] who will pray a prayer in the bechinas din — for this prayer of the powerful master, being in the bechinas din, stands against the Sitra Achra at its throat until it is compelled to vomit up all that it swallowed from the holiness — in the bechinas: \"He swallowed wealth and vomits it up\" [Job 20:15] — and so on. Then it vomits and brings out all the da'as and the prayers and the compassion that it had swallowed, and everything returns to holiness — and then converts are made, and so on, as explained there — see there. And through this nevuah [prophecy] spreads, and so on, and one merits the voice above — through which all fragrances grow, which are the bechinas Moshiach, and so on — see there carefully. And this is the bechinas splitting of the Reed Sea and the battle with Amalek — see there carefully. And this is the bechinas the prohibition of chodosh — that one is forbidden to eat from the five species of grain until the sixteenth of Nisan, when they offer the barley Omer. For the barley Omer is a novelty — that they bring animal food as a korban. But in truth it is in the bechinas described above — for it is the bechinas prayer in the bechinas din of the powerful master above. And this is the bechinas barley Omer: for the korban is the bechinas prayer, as our Sages of blessed memory said that prayer is in place of korban. And when they offer animal food as a korban, this is the bechinas prayer in the bechinas din — for adam [human] is the bechinas da'as and compassion, and bihaima is the absence of da'as and compassion. For compassion and da'as are one bechinas — for one depends on the other, as explained in the ma'amar above. And therefore when they offer the barley Omer which is animal food — the bechinas absence of da'as and compassion, the bechinas din — this is the bechinas prayer and korban in the bechinas din. And then the Sitra Achra wishes to swallow this korban because it is its side — for the Sitra Achra is the bechinas bihaimiyus, blemish of da'as and compassion, the bechinas dinim. And therefore it wishes to swallow such a korban which is animal food. But since the Kohanim who are the bechinas ba'alai ko'ach — for the Kohanim are called men of valor [anshei chayil gibborei ko'ach], as our Sages of blessed memory expounded on the verse: \"And the men of valor were commanded\" — \"these are the Kohanim,\" and so on. And therefore when the holy Kohanim, masters of power, offer the barley Omer in the Bais HaMikdash upon the altar — then when the Sitra Achra wishes to swallow this korban because it is animal food, bechinas din as above — this korban which is the bechinas prayer stands against it at its throat — in the bechinas: \"At its neck rests strength\" [Job 41:14], as cited above regarding prayer. And then it is compelled to give vomiting — in the bechinas: \"He swallowed wealth and vomits it up\" — as above. And then the masters of power extract from it through this all the da'as and holiness it had swallowed. And this is what they need specifically on the sixteenth of Nisan — for then Israel needs to begin to engage in the repair of da'as, to repair the blemish of the exile of Egypt. For on the fifteenth of Nisan Israel goes out in every generation from the contamination of Egypt. But then Hashem Yisborach raised and lifted them above their level — yet they had still not repaired at all, nor had they yet purified themselves from their contamination. But immediately after the first day of Pesach they return to it gradually, and then they need to begin to repair and purify themselves from the contamination of Egypt gradually — day by day — which is the bechinas counting of the Omer, as known. And the essence of the repair and purification is to repair the blemish of da'as — for the essence of the exile of Egypt was due to the blemish of da'as: that Adam the first man blemished through eating from the Aytz HaDa'as [Tree of Knowledge] of good and evil, through which suckling was drawn to the Sitra Achra from the holy da'as. And now on the sixteenth of Nisan — which is the first of the counting of the days of purity and purification — we need to repair this: to repair the blemish of da'as, namely to bring out all the holiness and da'as that the Sitra Achra swallowed, to extract its swallowing from its mouth and return everything to holiness. And this is accomplished through offering the barley Omer — animal food as a korban — which is the bechinas prayer in the bechinas din that stands against the Sitra Achra at its throat as above. Through which it brings out and vomits up all the holiness and da'as against its will, and everything returns to holiness, and the holy da'as is completed and rectified, as it were. And therefore one begins to count the Sefiras ha'Omer — which is to purify ourselves from the contamination of Egypt, to repair the blemish of da'as. And the essence of the counting is for the offering of the barley Omer — as we say: \"one day to the Omer, two days to the Omer.\" For the essence of the counting is for the offering of the barley Omer, since the essence of the repair is through the barley Omer as above. And therefore the Omer permits new grain for eating — for before the offering of the Omer we are forbidden to eat new grain, lest the mezonah d'gufa be strengthened, Heaven forbid — through which the akev of the Sitra Achra would be strengthened, Heaven forbid, in the bechinas: \"He who eats my bread has raised his heel against me,\" as above. And the essence of the prohibition is only regarding eating bread specifically — namely the five species of grain which are called bread. For da'as depends on eating: as the holiness of the eating, so is the completeness of da'as, as explained elsewhere. And the essence of da'as depends on the bechinas of bread from the five species of grain — which are the bechinas da'as, the bechinas heh ha'da'as. And therefore the essence of the meal is called by the name of bread, for it is the essence of the importance — for the essence of the complete da'as through eating depends on the bechinas bread specifically as above. And therefore the essence of the concern lest the akev of the Sitra Achra be strengthened through eating is through eating bread specifically — which is the bechinas da'as, for their essence of suckling is from da'as which is the essence of vitality, as known. And this is the bechinas: \"He who eats my bread\" — \"my bread\" specifically, for the essence of the strengthening of the akev of the Sitra Achra is through the essence of eating which is bread — which is the essence of da'as — where they always lie in ambush and await to suckle from there: from the bechinas da'as which is the vitality of all things. And therefore one cannot eat bread from the five species of grain except through the repair above — namely through the offering of the barley Omer, through which da'as is repaired as above and eating is repaired through this — as explained there in the ma'amar above: that through the bechinas prayer in the bechinas din of the powerful master, through this one merits the voice above, through which the blemish of eating — which is mezonah d'gufa — is repaired. See there carefully. And therefore one is forbidden to eat new grain until the offering of the Omer — for the grain which is bread which is the essence of eating, the bechinas da'as, one cannot eat except through the repair accomplished through the offering of the barley Omer, which is the bechinas prayer in the bechinas din of the powerful master through which the blemish of eating is repaired, as explained there carefully. And therefore the downfall of Haman was on the sixteenth of Nisan — for then he was hanged. For through prayer in the bechinas din of the powerful master, through this da'as is completed and the blemish of the lust of immorality is repaired — which is the bechinas blemish of da'as, the blemish of the contamination of Egypt. And this is the bechinas battle of Amalek, as explained there in the ma'amar above — see there. For the downfall of Haman Amalek, whose suckling is from da'as, is through the prayer above which is the bechinas barley Omer — see there carefully. And therefore many many nations that came against Israel suffered a great downfall on that night of the reaping of the barley Omer, as explained in the words of our Sages of blessed memory — for the power of all the nations, who are the bechinas wicked kingdom, the essence of their strengthening, Heaven forbid, is through the suckling of the Sitra Achra from da'as and compassion, Heaven forbid. Through which the mochin become mochin d'katanus — bechinas dinim — through which they are strengthened, Heaven forbid. And therefore through the barley Omer — which is the bechinas repair for this as above — through this they are subdued and fall. And therefore the time of the offering of the Omer is on the sixteenth of Nisan — for after the middle of the month, which is the sixteenth of the month, the diminishment of the moon begins. And the diminishment of the moon is the bechinas dinim, the bechinas the prayer that is in the bechinas dinim — for prayer is the bechinas malchus, the bechinas moon, and it needs to be only in the bechinas compassion and da'as which is the essence of the fullness of the moon — the essence of the completeness of malchus — in the bechinas: \"For He guides them with compassion\" [Isaiah 49:10], the bechinas: \"and doing kindness to His anointed, to Dovid\". And through the moon's complaint [kitrugah] this was diminished — the bechinas the diminishment of compassion and da'as which is the essence of the light illuminating the moon, which was diminished through the complaint — and becomes the bechinas dinim, Heaven forbid. These come from the moon's diminishment, as known. And therefore at the time of the moon's diminishment — after the middle of the month, namely on the sixteenth day when the bechinas diminishment and judgment begins — then one needs a great powerful master who will pray a prayer in the bechinas din, so that through this he will extract all the da'as and compassion from the Sitra Achra that suckled through the moon's diminishment, and so on, as above. And this is the bechinas barley Omer as above. And therefore its time is on the sixteenth of Nisan — immediately after the middle of the month, at the beginning of the diminishment — when this repair is needed as above. And the essence of the matter is only in the month of Nisan which is the head of months — the totality of all months. And then the moon's diminishment is repaired on the sixteenth of it through the barley Omer as above. For Nisan is the head and totality of all months, as written: \"This month shall be for you the head of months, the first\" [Exodus 12:2] and so on. And this is the bechinas the he-goat [sa'ir] of Rosh Chodesh which comes as atonement for the diminishment of the moon — as our Sages of blessed memory stated on the verse: \"One he-goat as a sin-offering to Hashem\" [Numbers 28:15]: \"Bring upon Me atonement…\" And it is stated in the holy Zohar, parashas Pinchas, that the he-goat is from the side of Esav, \"a hairy man\" [ish sa'ir] — the bechinas din — and he receives this he-goat. And it asked there: if so, why is it said \"to Hashem\"? See there the answer. And according to what was said above, this is well resolved — for this he-goat of Rosh Chodesh is literally the bechinas of a korban and prayer in the bechinas din. For the he-goat is a korban to Hashem — only it is in the bechinas din from the side of Esav the hairy man. And through this Esav, who is the Sitra Achra, receives it and wishes to swallow it. But this he-goat stands against it at its throat as above — until it vomits up and brings out all the holiness it had swallowed, and everything returns to holiness, and the diminishment of the moon is completed and everything is repaired in wholeness. It follows that everything is correct — that the he-goat is a korban to Hashem and nevertheless Esav receives it and suckles from it — and this is precisely the essence of the repair as above. For through this it vomits up and brings out all the da'as and holiness it had swallowed, and so on, as above. And this is the bechinas barley Omer offered on the sixteenth of Nisan at the beginning of the moon's diminishment in the first month — which encompasses all months as above. And this is the bechinas barley Omer — a play on language [loshon nofel al loshon] with the bechinas Esav the hairy man — the bechinas the he-goat of goats above. For the barley Omer is also in this bechinas — for it is animal food, and so on, as above. But this is the essence of the repair — for through this specifically: \"he swallowed wealth and vomits it up\" — \"and vomits it up\" specifically, the bechinas true vomiting — that it is compelled to give vomiting through this korban which is in the bechinas din, which it wishes to swallow — yet it stands against it at its throat until it is compelled to vomit, and so on, as above. As explained well in the ma'amar above regarding prayer — see there carefully. And this: \"Chayil bala vayakiyenu\" — the initial letters of this verse form a holy Name as cited — this is in gematria sixteen [י\"ו] — meaning the bechinas the sixteenth of Nisan when they offer the barley Omer, through which \"chayil bala vayakiyenu\" as above. And so it is understood in the holy Zohar that the secret of the offering of the Omer is in the bechinas: \"chayil bala vayakiyenu\" — in order that it flee from the eishes chayil [woman of valor], the bechinas malchus d'kedushah that is repaired through the barley Omer in the bechinas repair of the moon's diminishment as above. Understand this, and see there in the Zohar in parashas Emor. And this is the bechinas the splitting of the Reed Sea and the battle of Amalek — all of which occurred during the days of the Sefirah before the giving of the Torah. For it is stated there in the ma'amar above that the prayer in the bechinas din of the powerful master above is the bechinas splitting of the Reed Sea and the battle of Amalek — see there. And through this one merits nevuah — which is the bechinas receiving the Torah, when all of Israel merited nevuah. And all this was accomplished during the days of the Sefirah through the offering of the barley Omer — which is the bechinas above: prayer in the bechinas din of the powerful master. Through which the splitting of the Reed Sea and the battle with Amalek were accomplished, and one merits the receiving of the Torah at the end of the days of the Sefiras ha'Omer as above — see there in the ma'amar above carefully and you will understand. And this is what is written in the Megillah of Rus: \"And they came at the beginning of the barley harvest\" [Ruth 1:22]. And our Sages of blessed memory expounded: \"the verse speaks of the reaping of the Omer.\" For through the barley Omer the holy malchus is repaired as above. And the holy malchus is the bechinas malchus Moshiach. And so it is explained there in the ma'amar above: that through prayer in the bechinas din of the powerful master, one merits fragrance — which is the bechinas Moshiach — as explained there on the verse: \"And he saw that rest was good…\" [Genesis 49:15] and: \"and he became a forced laborer\" — the bechinas Moshiach who will come forth from Oved who was born of Rus. And therefore at the time when Rus and Naomi came there — through which the dynasty of malchus of Dovid Moshiach was born — the verse reveals that the time of their arrival was at the time of the reaping of the barley Omer. For the repair of the holy malchus — which is the bechinas malchus Moshiach — is accomplished through the bechinas barley Omer as above. Rus was also a righteous convert, and converts are made through the repair of prayer in the bechinas din above — therefore she came specifically at the time of the reaping of the Omer as above. [This belongs to what was said above.] And this is what Haman said: \"The barley Omer has come and defeated me.\" For the barley Omer specifically defeated Haman Amalek as above — for the essence of his downfall is through this as above. And the wicked kingdom is nullified and the holy malchus — the bechinas malchus Moshiach — is elevated as above.
