– PRAYER OF CONCESSION ON THE FIRST QUARTER MOON

WHAT ARE THE THREE BODIES IN A MAN

(CONTINUATION)

This is so because after one’s skin, there is no grip for the
Klipot (plural for Klipa), for the Klipot hold only that which is
within one’s skin, meaning that which belongs to one’s body,
and not outside one’s body, called “outside one’s skin.” That
means that they possess anything that comes within the clothing
of the body, and they cannot hold anything that is not clothed
within the body.
When one persists with thoughts that are after one’s skin,
one is awarded what is written, “And when after my skin this is
destroyed, then without my flesh shall I see God” (Job 19, 26).
“This” is the Holy Divinity, and she stands after one’s skin. “Destroyed”
means that it has been corrected to stand “after my skin.”
At that time one is awarded “without my flesh shall I see God.”
It means that Kedusha comes and clothes the interior of the
body, specifically when one agrees to work outside one’s skin,
meaning without any clothing. The wicked, however, who want
to work precisely at a time when there is clothing in the body,
called within the skin, then they will die without wisdom. This
is because then they have no clothing and they are not awarded
anything. However, it is specifically the righteous that are
rewarded with clothing within the body.
