זוהר, נח ל״גZohar, Noach 33

Segment 1א׳

וּמוֹרַאֲכֶם וְחִתְּכֶם יִהְיֶה. מִכָּאן וּלְהָלְאָה יְהֵא לְכוֹן דְּיּוֹקְנִין דִּבְנֵי נָשָׁא דְּהָא בְּקַדְמִיתָא לָא הֲווּ דִּיוּקְנִין דִּבְנֵי נָשָׁא. תָּא חֲזֵי, בְּקַדְמִיתָא כְּתִיב, (בראשית ט׳:ו׳) בְּצֶלֶם אֱלֹהִים עָשָׂה אֶת הָאָדָם. וּכְתִיב, (בראשית ה׳:א׳) בִּדְמוּת אֱלהִים עָשָׂה אוֹתוֹ. כֵּיוָן דְּחָטוּ אִשְׁתַּנּוּ דְּיוּקְנַיְיהוּ מֵהַהוּא דִּיוּקְנָא עִלָּאָה וְאִתְהַפָּכוּ אִנוּן לְמִדְחַל מִקַּמֵּי חֵיוָון בְּרָא.

AND THE FEAR OF YOU AND THE DREAD OF YOU SHALL BE UPON EVERY BEAST OF THE EARTH: as much as to say, “Henceforward you will assume the facial impress of man”; for up to that time their facial impress was not that of human beings. For at first: “in the image of God created he him” (Gen. 1, 27), also “in the likeness of God made he him” (Ibid. 5, 1); but when they sinned, their facial impress was changed from the supernal prototype, and through this transformation they became afraid of the beasts of the field.

Segment 2ב׳

בְּקַדְמִיתָא כָּל בְּרִיָּין דְּעָלְמָא זָקְפָן עַיְינִין וְחָמָאן דִּיוּקְנָא קַדִּישָׁא עִלָּאָה וְזָעָאן וְדָחֲלִין מִקַּמֵּיהּ. כֵּיוָן דְּחָטוּ אִתְהַפַּךְ דְּיוּקְנַיְיהוּ מֵעֵינַיְיהוּ לִדְיוּקְנָא אָחֳרָא. וְאִתְהַפַּךְ דִּבְנֵי נָשָׁא זָעִין וְדָחֲלִין קַמֵּי שְׁאָר בְּרִיָּין.

Whereas formerly all the creatures of the world, when looking up towards man, encountered the supernal sacred impress and thus were filled with fear and trembling, now after they sinned their appearances were transformed, and it was men who feared and dreaded the rest of the animal world.

Segment 3ג׳

תָּא חֲזֵי, כָּל אִנוּן בְּנֵי נָשָׁא דְּלָא חָטָאן קַמֵּי מָארֵיהוֹן וְלָא עָבְרִין עַל פִּקּוּדֵי אוֹרַיְיתָא. זִיו דִּיוּקְנָא דִּלְהוֹן לָא אִשְׁתַּנֵּי מֵחֵיזוּ דִּדְיוּקְנָא עִלָּאָה. וְכָל בְּרִיָּין דְּעָלְמָא זָעִין וְדָחֲלִין קַמֵּיהּ. וּבְשַׁעֲתָא דִּבְנִי נָשָׁא עָבְרִין עַל פִּתְגָּמֵי אוֹרַיְיתָא, אִתְחַלַּף דִּיוּקְנָא דִלְהוֹן וְכֻלְהוּ זָעִין וְדָחֲלִין מִקַּמֵּי בְּרִיָין אָחֳרָנִין, בְּגִין דְּאִתְחַלַּף דִּיוּקְנָא עִלָּאָה וְאִתְעֲבַר מִנַּיְיהוּ, וּכְדֵין שָׁלְטֵי בְּהוּ חֵיוַת בְּרָא, דְּהָא לָא חָמוּ בְּהוּ הַהוּא דִּיוּקְנָא עִלָאָה כִּדְקָחָזֵי.

Thus it is that all who are mindful of their Master, who keep themselves from sin and do not transgress the precepts of the Torah, retain their visage unaltered from the supernal prototype, and hence all the creatures of the world fear them and tremble before them. But when men transgress the precepts of the Torah, their visages change, and they fear the other creatures and tremble before them; the beasts of the field obtain dominion over men because they do not see any more in them the true supernal image.
