- Kolev was unable to conquer Kiryat Arbah and offered his daughter to anyone able to do so. Asneal Ben Kenaz was able to accomplish this.
- Some commentaries explain that he conquered the city as a general others say he restored the three hundred laws forgotten during the mourning period for Moshe this is referred to as “Kiryat Arbah”.
- Both are true and each was a manifestation of the other.
- All the energy spheres in the world emanate from the sparks of holiness that fell during the breaking of the vessels.
- These energy spheres are stored in the land but can be manipulated and transported by humans.
- The nations all draw their powers from here. As the Jews are spread through out the world in Diaspora, they are able to recollect the sparks.
- Some times this must be done through specific actions, other times one must just pass within their vicinity.
- It is obvious that if one is knowledgeable of these mysteries, he will be able to do this on a much larger scale
- This is why Yisroel was forced to look for straw all over Egypt, right before they were to leave.
- However there is another way to gather these sparks, when one meditates on parts of the torah that are the spiritual code for those specific spheres. He is able to manipulate the sparks with his mind without the need for physical contact. When he is able to use Pipul to draw an end result and establish a Halach, he is able to separate the good from the bad.
- The laws that were forgotten were the source code for the energy spheres for Kiryat Arbah, the last remaining strong hold of the Nefilim. Since Moshe was the only one who had access to these abilities they were lost when he died.
- Asneal ben Kenaz used his power of Pipul (deep accurate analyzation) to go into this blurriness and reestablish the Halochos. Meaning, the material, the torah was still there but the halachos had to be extracted.
- Once he had done this he had greatly weakened Kiryat Arbah, for the klipas can only draw energy when there is unclearness. He was then able to lead a physical war and was be victorious .
- This method was used many times when Yisroel went to battle. In Egypt it was a problem for they did not receive the written torah. So even though they were able to do things from the same emanation, they were unable to extract Halachos. They therefore had to collect them physically.
- Now in Gulos (Diaspora), this is also being done physically only because people aren’t learning Torah the right way.
