And should you say that it rules over the Shekhinah, Who is with them in exile,liBT Megillah 29a behold the verse states: (Is. 42:8) I am Y”Y, That is My Name, and My glory I shall not give to another, nor My praise to idols.
... and My glory... – the Higher Shekhinah,... I shall not give to another... – another god,... nor My praise to idols – this is the Lower Shekhinah.
And therefore, in the six days of the rule of ‘the poison of death’ Samael, – another god – it is stated of the Shekhinah: (Ez. 46:1)... it will be closed for the six working days... On the Sabbath and New Moons, when the evil agents do not rule, it is stated of them [Var. of Her]:... and on the Sabbath day it will be opened, and on the New Moon it will be opened.
