Parte 12 · Capítulo 249

And this is the secret of 'I was mute with silence; I held my peace from good' (Psalms 39:3). For then I remained ilem and was silenced. But the two letters Yod-Hei remained silent. And this is 'silence' (dumiya) — 'the silence of YH'. But they did not depart entirely. And as stated in the intentions of the Shema, see there: how the aspect of the nursing remains, and how we then repair the Yod-Hei of Elokim in the word 'Yisrael', in the verse 'Shema Yisrael'. And likewise in the intention of the Kaddish.
