זוהר שמות — דף קעח ע”א

This folio closes the first part of the Aramaic Sifra di-Tsniuta available in our text. The famous parable of the wheat grower completes its meaning: knowledge of only the fundamental principle does not grant the many refinements to one who aspires to them. The mystery of the balance reveals the passage from the anterior kingdoms to the face-to-face reception in the world of perfect Atsilout. The kings who died represented elevated forces that could not be sustained in a state without a balancing scale.
