זוהר שמות — דף כא ע”ב

The hour of Mincha is from the sixth hour downward, the hour of Judgment in the east. Between the evenings, which is the hour of Judgment, you eat meat; but in the morning, which is the hour of Mercy, bread. The people sinned through desire for meat and were therefore struck. The Mincha offering with no blood belongs to the side of Mercy. Speech emerged from exile and the Voice was joined to Speech.
