כך התורה כלולה מראש עד סוף והוא מה שנאמר בזוהר פרשה אמור צ"ח ע"ב. אורייתא כלא סתים וגליא. כמה דשמא קדישא סתים וגליא בגין דאורייתא כלא שמא קדישא היא ועל דא איהי סתים וגליא.
In that way the Torah is fully integrated from beginning to end, this being what is stated in the Zohar (Ehmor 98b): “The entire Torah is [both] sealed away and revealed492Heb.: sa-toom v’ga-lui—Reb Itzele uses a number of words for different kinds and degrees of hiddenness. Here he uses sa-toom, implying being sealed away from observation and intellectual comprehension. In contrast he uses a single word for being revealed and accessible for observation & intellection: ga-lui., just as the holy name is [both] sealed away and revealed, because the entire Torah is God’s holy name, and therefore it is [both] sealed away and revealed.
Так и Тора включена от начала до конца; и это то, что сказано в Зоар, раздел Эмор 98б: «Тора — вся скрыта и раскрыта; как Имя Святое — скрыто и раскрыто; потому что Тора целиком — Имя Святое, и потому она скрыта и раскрыта».
