זוהר בראשית — דף קס ע”א
Summary
Rabbi Yehuda and Rabbi Hizkiya travel from Cappadocia to Lod and decide to occupy themselves with Torah. They explain that, for blessings, one person blesses and two respond, whereas for Torah even two may give greatness to the Holy One, blessed be He. Rabbi Yehuda distinguishes remembrance and visitation for good, as in “God remembered Noah” and “I have surely visited you,” and for evil, as in “I will visit their transgression with the rod.” For good they belong to the secret of faith, male and female; for evil, to the Other Side. Rabbi Hizkiya cites “by wise counsel you shall wage war,” and the text shows Jacob acting shrewdly toward Esau. Finally, in his prayer a person should not say “remember me and visit me,” unless he is a perfect righteous man, like Ezra, who said “remember me, my God, for good.”
