Zohar on Tehillim 128 — When Sons Are Like Olive Shoots
Tehillim 128:3,4
- "Banekha kishtilei zetim saviv leshulḥanekha" — (your sons, like olive shoots).
If a woman covers her hair, even while in her own home, then what is written will be fulfilled: "your sons, like olive shoots". Why this particular comparison?
The olive tree is crowned with abundant foliage; it is green in winter and summer and has always been held in higher esteem than other trees. So too, this woman's children will become people who are respected in their community. Moreover, her husband will be blessed above and below—with wealth, children, and grandchildren. It is written:
- "Hineh ki chen yevorakh gever yerei Ad-nai" — (this is how a man who fears G-d will be blessed). (Tehillim 128:5,6)
- "May the Almighty bless you from Zion, and may you see the goodness of Jerusalem all the days of your life, and may you see your children's children — Shalom Yisrael". (Tehillim 128:5,6)
(Zohar on Naso, Sulam, Tzvi Nisanzon)
