Since Moav is Chochma of Kelipa and ‘נ עֲמָּה-Na’ama,’ meaning ‘נוֹע ם-Noam’ pleasure, – is Bina of Kelipa, since the revelation of Atik-Pleasure is in Bina.
Through the refinement process, Rus the Moaviya and Naama the Amonis were separated out from Chochma and Bina of Kelipa and reunited with their original source in Chochma and Bina of holiness, which they received from Lot’s connection to Avraham.
But, following the refinement, there was a separation of the “dross” represented by Lot from Avraham.
Now the Alter Rebbe will continue to explain the first verses of our Parsha: “Avram put up his tents, until the place of שְכֶם-Shechem,” the word ‘שְכֶם’ means ‘shoulders,’ and refers to the levels of Chessed-Kindness and Gevura-Severity of Malchus, the ‘wife’ of Ze’eir Anpin.
The right and left shoulders are the beginning of the right and left arms, which represent Chesed-Kindness and Gevura-Severity.
“and אֵלוֹן-Eilon Moireh” refers to the level of Tiferes of Malchus, the ‘wife’ of Ze’eir Anpin.
The Arizal explains (Likutei Torah, Lech Lecha) that the word “אֵלוֹן-Eilon” comes from the word “אִּילָן-Tree,” meaning the tree trunk. The trunk of the tree corresponds to the “trunk” of a person, i.e., the torso. The torso, which is between the right and left arms, corresponds to Tiferes-Beauty, the “middle channel,” which connects and combines the two opposite traits of Kindness and Severity.
For all the flow of revelation from Hashem’s Light that Avraham brought down from the “Lofty Hidden Intellect” was drawn down into Malchus.
The three places mentioned correspond to Chesed, Gevura, and Tiferes of Malchus. This shows that Avraham’s journey to bring down the Lofty Intellect of Hashem reached all the way until the emotive attributes of Malchus, which is the level of Malchus that is more directly involved with the creations than the intellect of Malchus.
