Midrash (rabbinic interpretive commentary) Levanat HaSapir is a midrash on the Torah in the style of kabbalah, in Aramaic like the Zohar. It is not extant before us today. The Yuhasin mentions it before the Zohar, saying "In the book Levanat HaSapir and in the Zohar called Holy (authored by Rabbi Shimon bar Yohai) who his father sanctified through circumcision etc." The Hizkuni in his book Shtei Yadot on Parshat Chayei Sarah wrote: "It says in the book Levanat HaSapir: In Kiryat Arba, in the calling of the four, because she said 'Shall I indeed bear a child, though I have become old?' therefore 'Sarah died in Kiryat Arba' - these four words, because she mentioned there the four-letter name Yud-Hei-Vav-Hei, do not read 'Kiryat Arba' but 'Kriyat Arba' (Calling of Four)." And on page 14 he wrote: "And regarding this we will explain a wondrous statement from an obscure midrash in the book Levanat HaSapir. On the portion Bereshit: 'The earth was chaos and confusion' - the generation of the Flood were chaos in the feminine language. God brought the waters upon them in the form of a woman. 'Confusion' was the generation of the Tower. 'Darkness' was the people of Sodom. 'The spirit of God hovered' - this is the holy spirit, the spirit of kindness, which is Aaron the High Priest. 'God said let there be light' - this is King David. 'God separated between the light and darkness' - this was Korach and his congregation, as it says 'Separate yourselves from the congregation.'" This is also brought in the book Shoresh Yishai authored by Rabbi Shlomo Alkabetz on the verse "And also Ruth the Moabite." And it is brought in the book Beit Neman authored by Rabbi Yitzchak Bigau page 50a: "And so I saw in the book Levanat HaSapir: 'After delaying the conception of Jacob in the house of Laban, corresponding to the exile in Egypt, with the intention to complete the populace who would be fit to receive the End, and in the manner here when he came on the way, Esau came upon him, a sign that when they would be on the way, Amalek would come upon them, who cooled you off on the way.' And similarly the man who was with him, Esau's strength weakened. So too there, 'and Yehoshua became weakened and did not kill them.'" And so Rabbi Shlomo Luria brought in Parshat Toldot (130b): "And you already know what is written in Levanat HaSapir on the verse 'Remember what Amalek plotted' etc. from poison to poison." And in the book Manot HaLevi (105b): "And I again found according to my words in the book Levanat HaSapir: 'And it was at the end of seven days' - these were the seven days of Methuselah's mourning that Haman waited for, and from here Haman learned to decree upon Israel on the 13th of Adar, thinking perhaps the days of Moses' mourning would protect them." And in the book Avodat HaKodesh of Ben Gavai it says: "And I saw in the book Levanat HaSapir: A person should arouse himself in Torah and prayer to rest the holy spirit upon him. 'And it was at the end of seven days' - these were the seven days of Methuselah's mourning that he waited for them etc. And from here Haman learned to decree upon Israel on the 13th of Adar, thinking perhaps the days of Moses' mourning would protect them."
