Zohar on Tehillim 107 - River Dinur
Tehillim 107:26
- "Ya'alu shamayim yerdu tehomot, nafsham bera'ah titmogag" - (they rise to the heavens, descend to the depths—their soul melts away in distress).
This describes what takes place in the Dinur River, which corresponds to the Jordan River.
The River Dinur flows between death and what follows, and souls are immersed in it so that they may then be raised to the Land of Life—the Holy Land Above.
Likewise, the Jordan River forms the boundary between the entire world outside the Land of Israel and the Land of Israel. However, the souls of those who committed grave offenses against holiness and greatly defiled themselves remain there and cannot ascend.
(based on a lesson on the "Zohar HaKadosh" by Rav Zvi Nisanzon)
