220. אֲשֶׁר שָׁתָה אֶפְרֹחֶיהָ אֶת מִזְבְּחוֹתֶיךָ – אֵלּוּ אוֹתָם צַדִּיקִים שֶׁנִּתְקְנוּ בְּבָנִים קְדוֹשִׁים, שֶׁזָּכוּ לַתּוֹרָה שֶׁבִּכְתָב וְלַתּוֹרָה שֶׁבְּעַל פֶּה בָּעוֹלָם הַזֶּה. וְאֵלּוּ נִקְרָאִים שְׁנֵי מִזְבְּחוֹת. מִתְעַטְּרִים לִפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ הַקָּדוֹשׁ, שֶׁהֲרֵי זְכוּת בְּנֵיהֶם בָּעוֹלָם הַזֶּה מְגִנָּה עֲלֵיהֶם, וּמְעַטְּרִים אוֹתָם שָׁם. מִי הָרוּחַ שֶׁזּוֹכָה לְכָל זֶה? זוֹ שֶׁשָּׁתָה אֶפְרֹחֶיהָ, לְלַמֵּד לְמִזְבְּחוֹתֶיךָ וְגוֹ’. מִכָּאן וָהָלְאָה אֱמֹר דְבָרְךָ, שֶׁהֲרֵי בְּלִי בוּשָׁה אֲנִי נִרְאֶה שָׁם.
\n221. פָּתַח כְּמִקֹּדֶם רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר וְאָמַר, גַּם צִפּוֹר מָצְאָה בַיִת – זֶה יִתְרוֹ. וּדְרוֹר קֵן לָהּ – זֶה בָּנָיו שֶׁהָיוּ בְּלִשְׁכַּת הַגָּזִית מְלַמְּדִים תּוֹרָה וְחוֹתְכִים דִּבְרֵי תוֹרָה בְּפִיהֶם. מַה זֶּה מָצְאָה בַיִת? אֶלָּא בַּהַתְחָלָה לָקְחוּ וְחָנוּ בַמִּדְבָּר, לָקְחוּ מֵעֹנֶג מִדְיָן וּמֵהַמְּתִיקוּת שֶׁשָּׁם וְחָנוּ בַמִּדְבָּר. כֵּיוָן שֶׁרָאָה הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא שֶׁכִּסּוּפָם הָיָה עַל הַתּוֹרָה, מָשַׁךְ אוֹתָם מִשָּׁם וְהִכְנִיסָם לְלִשְׁכַּת הַגָּזִית. וּדְרוֹר קֵן לָהּ – הַכֹּל אֶחָד. צִפּוֹר דְּרוֹר הַכֹּל הוּא אֶחָד. (שופטים ד) חֶבֶר הַקֵּינִי. (שמואל-א טו) וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל אֶל הַקֵּינִי וְגוֹ’.<\/div>\n

\nPsalms 84:4<\/a>
\n“גַּם צִפּוֹר מָצְאָה בַיִת וּדְרוֹר קֵן לָהּ אֲשֶׁר שָׁתָה אֶפְרֹחֶיהָ אֶת מִזְבְּחוֹתֶיךָ יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת מַלְכִּי וֵאלֹהָי.”
\n“Even the sparrow has found a home, And the swallow a nest for herself, Where she may lay her young— Even Your altars, O YHVH<\/a> of hosts, My King and my God.”<\/p>\n

“Where she (the bird) may lay her young” is a reference to the righteous people that have children with holy souls connected to the written and oral Torah<\/a> in this world. The study of writer and oral Torah<\/a> is considered as ‘altars’ for the Holy King.
\nThe merits of the children protect and elevate the parents in the Garden of Eden.<\/p>\n

#221
\nThe ‘bird’, ‘sparrow’, and ‘swallow’ are a reference to the same thing, which is righteous souls.
\nRabbi Elazar adds; “Even the sparrow has found a home” is an example of Jethro. “A swallow found a nest for herself” is Jethro’s descendants that studied Torah and merit to be in the Hall of Hewn Stones<\/a>, ‘לשכת הגזית’ (pronounced ‘Lishkat haGazit<\/a>’).
\nThey moved out of a life of pleasures in Midian to be with the Israelites<\/a> in the desert. Because of their desire for the Torah, the Holy One Blessed be He brought them into the Lishkat HaGazit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lesson;
\nThe Daily Zohar brings the written Torah<\/a> by quoting the full verses from the Torah and the Bible. The Oral Torah<\/a> is the study from the Zohar and as the Zohar teaches us, it is like we serve the Holy King with two altars.
\nJethro and his son converted from idol worshipping to follow the Torah and for that, they earned great honor and served in the court of the Holy Temple.
\nMany of the Daily Zohar students were not born in a Jewish home but their souls have the holy spark of the Israelites<\/a>’ souls that brought them back to their true ‘nest’. They have the aspect of “Even the sparrow has found a home”.<\/p>\n
