would add that assuredly it is not right to send a woman to stay in another place until her husband gives her permission. Her husband must therefore first be told and persuaded to give her permission. So God persuaded Moses to say, “Behold, I give him my covenant of peace”, and until Moses gave it permission to go there it would not go.
Similarly the Righteous One of the world gives Her permission to abide among the righteous ones of this world; in the evening She comes in to her spouse, and in the morning She returns to the righteous of this world, but She is ever in the charge of her Spouse.
So Moses gave the gift to Phineas on condition that it should be subsequently restored; and it was through this covenant that Phineas obtained the high priesthood, and without it he would not have been linked to the grade of the priesthood.’

מְנָלָן. מִצַּדִּיקוֹ שֶׁל עוֹלָם, דְּיָהִיב לָהּ רְשׁוּ, לְמִשְׁרֵי גּוֹ צַדִּיקֵי בְּהַאי עָלְמָא. וְיָתְבָא עִמְּהוֹן, כְּכַלָּה גּוֹ קִשּׁוּטָהָא. וְצַדִּיקָא דְּעָלְמָא חָמֵי, וְחַדֵּי בְּהַאי. אֲבָל בֵּין דְּרוֹעֵי דְּבַעְלָהּ שְׁכִיבַת, וְאִתְהַדְּרַת לְמֶהֱוִי בַּהֲדַיְיהוּ, וְתָבַת לְבַעְלָהּ. כְּמָה דְאַתְּ אָמֵר, (אסתר ב׳:י״ד) בָּעֶרֶב הִיא בָאָה וּבַבֹּקֶר הִיא שָׁבָה. בָּעֶרֶב הִיא בָאָה, לְגַבֵּי בַּעְלָהּ. וּבַבֹּקֶר הִיא שָׁבָה, לְגַבֵּי צַדִּיקַיָּיא דְּעָלְמָא. וְכֹלָּא בִּרְשׁוּתָא דְּבַעְלָהּ.
