זוהר שמות — דף פ ע”א

This folio distinguishes the "House of Jacob" from the "Children of Israel": Jacob and Israel represent two spiritual levels, with Israel signifying the totality of all. The Torah was given to the House of Jacob in gentle language and to the children of Israel through a spirit of wisdom. A remarkable story is recounted about an herbalist gathering medicinal plants who reveals secrets of divine wisdom hidden in nature. The principle is that every person must speak with others according to their respective ways and nature.
