\nHebrew translation:<\/p>\n

39. מִי שֶׁהֵם טְמֵאִים, טֻמְאָה מִזְדַּמֶּנֶת לָהֶם לְהִטָּמֵא עָלָיו. כָּתוּב (ויקרא יג) טָמֵא הוּא בָּדָד יֵשֵׁב מִחוּץ לַמַּחֲנֶה מוֹשָׁבוֹ, וְטָמֵא לְטָמֵא קוֹרֵא, שֶׁכָּתוּב (שם) וְטָמֵא טָמֵא יִקְרָא. מִי שֶׁהוּא טָמֵא לְטָמֵא יִקְרָא, הַכֹּל הוֹלֵךְ אַחַר מִינוֹ.
\n40. אָמַר רַבִּי יִצְחָק, נָאֶה הוּא לְיַעֲקֹב, שֶׁהָיָה קָדוֹשׁ, לוֹמַר שֶׁנִּטְמָא בְּלָבָן וּבִכְשָׁפָיו, אוֹ שֶׁבַח הוּא שֶׁלּוֹ? אָמַר לוֹ רַבִּי יוֹסֵי, אַף עַל גַּב שֶׁאָמַר רַבִּי יְהוּדָה – אֲנִי מְסַיֵּעַ לְךָ, שֶׁהֲרֵי כָּתוּב (בראשית כז) אָנֹכִי עֵשָׂו בְּכֹרֶךָ. וְכִי יָפֶה הוּא לְצַדִּיק כְּיַעֲקֹב לְהַחֲלִיף שְׁמוֹ בְּשֵׁם טֻמְאָה? אֶלָּא אָנֹכִי, פּוֹסֵק טַעַם, וְאוֹמֵר אָנֹכִי מִי שֶׁאֲנִי, אֲבָל עֵשָׂו בְּכֹרֶךָ, וַהֲרֵי פֵּרְשׁוּהָ.<\/div>\n

\nZohar Vayishlach<\/strong><\/p>\n

Genesis 32:5<\/a>
\n“וַיְצַו אֹתָם, לֵאמֹר, כֹּה תֹאמְרוּן, לַאדֹנִי לְעֵשָׂו: כֹּה אָמַר, עַבְדְּךָ יַעֲקֹב, עִם-לָבָן גַּרְתִּי, וָאֵחַר עַד-עָתָּה”
\n“He also commanded them saying, “Thus you shall say to my lord Esau: ‘Thus says your servant Jacob, “I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed until now;”<\/p>\n

Rabbi Yitzchak in the Zohar explains that impure attracts impurity and causes a negative environment. That creates a separation and a greater distance from the side of holiness.<\/p>\n

Rabbi Yehuda asks: is it proper to say that Jacob, who was holy, became impure or impacted with the witchcrafts of Laban?
\nWhen Jacob said “I have sojourned with Laban” it was a praise for him because he kept himself strong and pure by following the precepts of the Torah. The word “גַּרְתִּי”, “sojourned”, has a numerical value of 613, which is the number of precepts in the Torah.
\nAnother point that the Zohar brings is when Jacob identified himself as Esau. (Genesis 27:19<\/a>) “I am, Esau your firstborn”.<\/p>\n

By presenting himself as Esau, Jacob connected to the impurity of his brother. The Zohar explains that the word אנכי, “I am” and “Esau your firstborn” have special cantillation<\/a> marks that separates the “I am” from “Esau…” so when Jacob came to get the blessings from his father, Isaac, he said “I am” with the consciousness of “I am Jacob who is present here and in front of you” and then “Esau your firstborn”. That made a big difference in the reality of the moment and Jacob was true and pure when received the first born blessings he bought from Esau earlier.<\/p>\n

The Torah scroll doesn’t have verses, vowels (nikud<\/a>) or cantillation<\/a> marks. This information and the secrets knowledge of Torah and Kabbalah was given to Moses on Mount Sinai together with the written Torah<\/a>. That is why listening to the Torah reading on Shabbat is a connection to the revelation on Mount Sinai of the Torah and Kabbalah.
\nBecause the Torah gives us the precepts, the study of Torah through the Zohar is considered as fulfilling all 613 precepts of the Torah. Daily study and Torah reading on Shabbat keep us on the pure side.<\/p>\n
