זוהר בראשית — דף קעז ע”ב
Summary
The Zohar continues describing the ranks of impurity and explains that until these have gone first, the kingdom of heaven is not awakened; it then rests on the youngest of the tribes, Benjamin. Rabbi Hiyya opens with “And now hear, Jacob my servant” and distinguishes three names: Jacob, Israel, Jeshurun, which all amount to one, like the verbs create, form, make. Happy is the portion of Israel, whom the Holy One, blessed be He, desired, while the worship of the nations is vanity; in the future He alone will remain. Rabbi Yehuda opens with “Fear not, worm of Jacob”: the nations were entrusted to appointed princes, each people walks in the name of its god, shedding blood and growing bold in evil.
