Section 26 of 63 in Pekudei — 26 segments

Segment 1א׳

פָּתַח וְאָמַר, (יחזקאל מ׳:ג׳) וַיָּבֵא אוֹתִי שָׁמָּה וְהִנֵּה אִישׁ מַרְאֵהוּ כְּמַרְאֵה נְחֹשֶׁת וּפְתִיל פִּשְׁתִּים בְּיָדוֹ וּקְנֵה הַמִּדָּה וְהוּא עוֹמֵד בַּשָׁעַר. הַאי חָמָא לֵיהּ יְחֶזְקֵאל, בְּהַהוּא חֵיזוּ דִּנְבוּאָה, וְהַאי אִיהוּ אִישׁ, דְּאִיהוּ שְׁלִיחָא בְּאִינּוּן לְבוּשִׁין.

R. Eleazar then continued: ‘It is written, “And he brought me thither, and behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate” (Ezek. 40, 3). Ezekiel saw in this prophetical vision a “man”, but not “a man clothed in linen” (Dan. 10, 5).

Segment 2ב׳

וְהָכָא לָא אָמַר אֶלָּא אִישׁ, וְלָא אָמַר אִישׁ לְבוּשׁ הַבַּדִּים. אֶלָּא, בְּשַׁעֲתָא דְּעָבִיד שְׁלִיחוּתָא לְמֶעְבַּד דִּינָא, אוֹ לְאַחֲזָאָה דִּינָא, אִקְרֵי לְבוּשׁ הַבַּדִּים. וּבְשַׁעֲתָא דְּלָא אָתֵי לְהָכִי, אִשְׁתַּנֵּי לְגַוְונָא אַחֲרָא, כְּפוּם שְׁלִיחוּתָא, הָכִי שָׁנֵי חֵיזוּ דִּילֵיהּ בְּאִינּוּן לְבוּשִׁין, וְאִשְׁתָּנֵי מִלְבוּשִׁין לִלְבוּשִׁין, בְּגִין דְּאִיהוּ תָּדִיר בִּסְטָר שְׂמָאלָא, וְכַמָּה גַּוְונִין אִינּוּן דְּאִתְלָבַשׁ בְּהוּ, וְכָל אִינּוּן דְּאַתְיָין מִסִּטְרֵיהּ.

For it is only when the angel is on an errand of severity that he is called “a man clothed in linen”. Otherwise, he assumes various guises, appears in various attire conformably to the message he bears at the time being.

Segment 3ג׳

מַרְאֵהוּ כְּמַרְאֵה נְחֹשֶׁת, הָכָא אִתְלָבַּשׁ בְּהַהוּא לְבוּשָׁא דְּאִינּוּן (ר"ס ע"א, קל"ט ע"א, רכ"ט ע"א) טוּרֵי נְחֹשֶׁת, דְּאִקְרוּן (זכריה ו) הָרֵי נְחֹשֶׁת. וְדָא אַיְיתֵי מְדִידוּ, לְמֶעְבַּד מִשְׁחָתָא.

Now, in the present vision “his appearance was like the appearance of brass”, that is, he was clothed in the raiment formed of the “mountains of brass”, and the “measuring reed” that he had in his hand
