Likutei Moharan 41:3/ליקוטי מוהר"ן מ״א:ג׳

13. <In> Etz Chaim, Chapter 13, <it is written>: Shem Mem-Bet is in Binah. And these forty-two are the ShA (370) lights that shine. Together with the eight white [hairs], this has the same numerical value as BaShaLOM (in peace).

2<And in> Chapter 14 <it is written that this> is the same numerical value as ChaShMaL <and> MaLBUSh (garment). This chashmal protects the supernal garments from the ASh (moth) of the evil forces, as is written (Isaiah 51:8), “The ash will eat them up like a garment.”

3This is: Whoever wants to nasekh (pour) a libation of wine on the altar should fill the throats of Torah scholars [with wine] (Yoma 71a).

4to NaSeKh — This is kingship and sovereignty, as is written (Psalms 2:6), “I Myself NaSaKh (anointed) My king….”

5wine — This is an aspect of Binah, the root of the firstborn rights, the wine of joy.

6altar — This corresponds to judgments.

7Torah scholars — They correspond to Netzach and Hod.

8Thus this is its explanation: When someone wants to govern and rule and mitigate the judgments at their source, which is the wine of joy, what must he do? A {good} suggestion for this [is to] fill their throats through dancing or by means of a redemption, as mentioned above. Filling their throats also mitigates the judgments.

9This is the explanation of: Torah scholars promote peace in the world (Berakhot 64a). Through them, <the wine> of Shem Mem-Bet, which is the 370 lights, is drawn. Together with the eight white [hairs] it has the same numerical value as BaShaLOM.

10And Torah scholars are called Netzach and Hod, the feet, as is brought in the Midrash: “His legs are like marble pillars” (Song of Songs 5:15) —these are the Torah scholars.

11The altar is also called feet, as is written (Psalms 4:6), “Offer sacrifices of righteousness.” <And righteousness is an aspect of feet,> as is written (ibid. 85:14), “Righteousness walks before Him.” {“May He grant you your heart’s wishes, and fulfill your every counsel” (Psalms 20:5).}

12This is also the explanation of “May He grant you your heart’s wishes.” When? When “and fill your every counsel”—by filling the throats of Torah scholars. This is because Torah scholars are called counsels, as is written (Avot 6:1): “From him people enjoy counsel and everlasting wisdom”; and as is written (Psalms 33:11), “God’s counsel will stand forever.” For they are the pillars of the world. And as is written (Isaiah 14:27), “The God of Hosts has counseled.” Adonoy Tzevaot (God of Hosts) are Netzach and Hod, <as is known>.
