The Molcho Edition

English translation by Shaul Molcho

שאול מלכו

“And the wise shall shine like the Zohar of the firmament.”

וְהַמַּשְׂכִּילִים יַזְהִירוּ כְּזֹהַר הָרָקִיעַ

For the sake of the unification of the Holy One, blessed be He, and His Shekhinah לשם יחוד קודשא בריך הוא ושכינתיה

To hasten the redemption of all Yisrael.

Reaching even those who dwell beyond the Sambatyon River.

In fulfillment of that which was spoken by Daniel:

“The God of Heaven shall raise a Molcho that shall never be destroyed”

יְקִים אֱלָהּ שְׁמַיָּא מַלְכוּ דִּי לְעָלְמִין לָא תִתְחַבַּל — Daniel 2:44

May the light of the Zohar be revealed and spread forth,

to illuminate the world

with the radiance of the hidden wisdom,

until the complete redemption in mercy, speedily in our days.
