[1] Bava Bathra 14b

[2] Rashi from Midrash Psalms 1:6

[3] Ten levels are said here, five against five, and all as one are included among Israel. “Your head,” means those possessing Chachma (wisdom) are placed in juxtaposition to the infants (also small children), for infant, taf in Hebrew, is connected to the word for “drop,” tipah in Hebrew, meaning that they possess only a small amount of consciousness (da at, also “knowledge”). Then accordingly, when any mistake happens even to the youngest children, it affects even the heads, for the taf possessed a little consciousness from the head. “Your tribes,” meaning expansion, for all of Israel were hidden in the root ofYaakov Avinu, and there they were as one soul. Thus when they were divided into tribes certain souls in different generations experienced expansion. This is placed in juxtaposition to the women, because all expansion comes from birth, for when the child is hidden and included in the soul of the father then there is no expansion; only when the child is bom does it begin to expand. “Your elders” means the one who has acquired wisdom.

This is juxtaposed to “your convert,” for according to the original insights into the Torah made among Israel, so will the converts come to and increase in Israel. The more we increase in the words of Torah, and thus experience more expansion, then the holiness of Israel extends even to the souls of the nations, and they will be gathered among Israel. “Your officers” meaning those possessing the fear of God, and they are placed in juxtaposition to the “wood choppers,” for “chopping” represents anger, and on this the Holy One, blessed be He, testifies that within all the anger in Israel there is the fear of God. “Every man of Israel” means the attribute of the love of God, and this is placed against the “water carriers,” for water is compared to desire, as said in various places,³® and all desire and love in Israel comes from the blessed God.
