### Part 1 — When a New Sefer Comes Into the World

- Scene 3 · LM II:30 §1 · paragraph §1.1
  - HE: כְּשֶׁבָּא סֵפֶר חָדָשׁ לָעוֹלָם, וְזֶה מְבֹאָר אֶצְלֵנוּ, שֶׁיֵּשׁ חִדּוּשִׁים שֶׁנַּעֲשִׂין עַל־יְדֵי דְּמָעוֹת, אֲזַי אֵלּוּ הַדְּמָעוֹת שֶׁל הַחִדּוּשִׁים, שֶׁמֵּהֶם נַעֲשָׂה הַסֵּפֶר הֶחָדָשׁ, הֵם עוֹמְדִים כְּנֶגֶד גְּזֵרוֹת הָאֻמּוֹת, וּמְבַטְּלָן:
  - EN (our paraphrase): When a new sefer comes into the world, and we have explained that some new insights are made through tears, then the tears of those insights, from which the new sefer was made, stand against the decrees of the nations and cancel them.
- Scene 4 · LM II:30 §1 · paragraph §1.2
  - HE: וְהַדָּבָר מְבֹאָר, כִּי כָל כֹּחָם הִיא מִן הַדְּמָעוֹת שֶׁל עֵשָׂו, וְעַל־כֵּן כְּשֶׁיֵּשׁ אֵלּוּ הַדְּמָעוֹת הַנַּ"ל, הֵם עוֹמְדִים כְּנֶגְדָּם וּמְבַטְּלָן.
  - EN (our paraphrase): The matter is clear: all their power is from the tears of Esav. So when these tears are present, they stand against them and cancel them.
- Scene 6 · LM II:30 §1, on Hoshea 2:1 · paragraph §1.3
  - HE: וְזֶה אוֹתִיּוֹת בְּכִיָּה – רָאשֵׁי־תֵבוֹת: בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל כְּחוֹל הַיָּם – מַה חוֹל הַיָּם מֵגֵן מִן גַּלֵּי הַיָּם, שֶׁלֹּא יִשְׁטְפוּ הָעוֹלָם, כֵּן בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵגֵן עֲלֵיהֶם הַבְּכִיָּה וְהַדְּמָעוֹת כְּנֶגֶד גְּזֵרוֹת הָאֻמּוֹת כַּנַּ"ל.
  - EN (our paraphrase): This is the letters of bechiyah, weeping: the initials of B'nei Yisrael k'chol hayam, the children of Israel like the sand of the sea. As the sand of the sea guards against the waves, so they do not flood the world, so weeping and tears guard the children of Israel against the decrees of the nations.
- Scene 7 · LM II:30 §1 · paragraph §1.4
  - HE: וְזֶה: וְהָיָה מִסְפַּר בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל כְּחוֹל הַיָּם – מִסְפַּר הַיְנוּ מִסֵּפֶר הַנַּ"ל, מִשָּׁם בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל כְּחוֹל הַיָּם, הַיְנוּ בְּכִיָּה וּדְמָעוֹת שֶׁל הַחִדּוּשִׁין שֶׁבַּסֵּפֶר, שֶׁמֵּגֵן עֲלֵיהֶם כַּנַּ"ל:
  - EN (our paraphrase): And this is 'the number of the children of Israel shall be like the sand of the sea'. Mispar, number, is from the sefer: from there the children of Israel are like the sand of the sea, that is, the weeping and tears of the insights in the sefer, which protect them.
