זוהר, ויחי י׳Zohar, Vayechi 10

Segment 1א׳

וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי הִנְּנִי מַפְרְךָ וְהִרְבֵּיתִיךָ. רִבִּי אַבָּא פָּתַח וְאָמַר, הַאי קְרָא (ישעיהו כ״ט:כ״ב) לא עַתָּה יֵבוֹשׁ יַעֲקֹב וְלֹא עַתָּה פָּנָיו יֶחוָרוּ. וְכִי אֵינִישׁ דְּאָמַר טַב לְבַּר נָשׁ כַּוָּותֵיהּ. אִי לָא יַשְׁלִים מַה דְּאָמַר, אַפּוֹהִי מִתְבַּיְישָׁן, עַל אַחַת כַּמָּה וְכַמָּה מִן עִלָּאֵי לְבַּר נָשׁ, דְּאִי לָא מַיְיתֵי כָּל טַב דְּאָמַר עַל בְּנוֹהִי, אַנְפּוֹהִי מִתְבַּיְישָׁן.

AND HE SAID TO ME: BEHOLD, I WILL MAKE YOU FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY YOU. R. Abba discoursed on this verse: Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now grow pale (Is. 29, 22). Now if a man promises good to one like himself and does not fulfil what he said, his face is shamed; how much more so from those above to a man, for if He does not bring all the good that He spoke concerning his children, his face is shamed.

Segment 2ב׳

אָמַר קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא לֵיהּ, אֲנָא יִשְׂרָאֵל עִלָּאָה, דְּאֲנָא מַפְשִׁינָךְ וְאַסְגִּינָךְ. הַאי בִּרְכָתָא דְּיָהִיב לִי, וְאֶתֵּן יַת אַרְעָא הָדָא לִבְרֵיכוֹן, לָא הֲוָה בְּאַרְעָא, לָא הֲוָה עִמְּהוֹן. כַּד יֵיתֵי קִיצָא דִמְשִׁיחָא וְיִשְׁתְּלִים, אָמַר קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא, לא עַתָּה יֵבוֹשׁ יַעֲקֹב, כְּעַן (לא) אַנְפוֹי דְיַעֲקֹב דִּלְעֵילָא, לָא מִתְבַּיְישָׁן מִדַּאֲמַר לְהוֹן אֶתֵּן, אֲרֵי עַד כְּעַן לָא הֲווּ בִּידֵיהּ, וְהֲווּ אַנְפּוֹהִי מִתְבַּיְישָׁן, כְּעַן דִּילֵיהּ מִסְתַּיֵּיעַ מִן קֳדָם מָארֵי שְׁמַיָא וְאַרְעָא.

The Holy One, blessed be He, said to him: I am supernal Israel, for it is I who make you fruitful and multiply you. This blessing that He gave me — “and I will give this land to your sons” — was not in the land, was not with them. When the end of the Messiah comes and is completed, the Holy One, blessed be He, says: “Jacob shall not now be ashamed.” Now the face of Jacob above is not shamed for what He said to them, “I will give”; for until now they were not in his hand, and his face was shamed. Now what is his is confirmed from before the Master of heaven and earth.

Segment 3ג׳

כְּמָה דְאַמְרִינָן, אֲגָחְנָא דַּעֲמָלֵק, כַּד יִשְׁתְּלִים קִיצָא, לָא יְהֵא אֶלָּא בִּתְקוֹף יְדָא, כְּמָה דְּהֲוִית בְּיוֹם קְרָב, וְיָצָא ה' וְנִלְחַם בַּגּוֹיִם הָהֵם, דִּידֵיהּ וְלָא אָחֳרָא:

As we have said, the war of Amalek, when the end is completed, shall be by nothing but strength of hand, as it was “in the day of battle”: “and the Lord shall go forth and fight against those nations” (Zech. 14, 3) — His own war, and no other’s.
