Text for this lesson:
“God said to Moshe, ‘Emor El HaKohanim (Speak to the priests), the sons of Aharon, and say to them: Let no [priest] defile himself by [contact with] the dead among his people.’” (Leviticus 21:1)

In Siphra DeTzneuta we find: From Nukva DePardaska the breath of life is drawn to Mashiach (Zohar II, 177a).

For the basic weapon of Mashiach is prayer. This is the aspect of ChoTeM (the nose), as is written (Isaiah 48:9), “For My praise, eChToM (I will restrain My anger) from you.” Mashiach’s main vitality is from the nose. All the wars he will wage, and all his conquests, will be from there, as is written (Isaiah 11:3), “He shall breathe of the fear of God.” This is the aspect of chotem .

And prayer is his essential weapon, as is written (Genesis 48:22), “with my sword and my bow.” Onkelos renders this: “with my prayer and my supplication,” and likewise Rashi explains: prayer and entreaty. The same idea is expressed in the verse (Psalms 44:7, 9), “For I trust not in my bow, nor shall my sword save me…[but rather,] in those who praise the Lord all day long.” This corresponds to “For My praise, echtom from you.”
Torah 2:2

2. Now, this weapon must be received by means of the aspect of Yosef—i.e., guarding the brit (Covenant), as in (Psalms 45:4), “Gird your sword upon your thigh.” It is also written (Psalms 132:11, 12), “Of your offspring I will set upon your throne”—this refers to Mashiach, who is the aspect of prayer—“if your children will guard My brit”—by the means of the aspect of Yosef.

Yosef, who guarded the brit, gained the rights of the firstborn. This corresponds to the divine service of prayer, which is an aspect of the double portion [inherited by the firstborn]. For prayer is itself twofold, as it is comprised of both praise of God and requesting one’s needs. This corresponds to “a double-edged sword in their hand” (Psalms 149:6) —i.e., two edges, a double portion. It was taken from Reuven, because he defiled his father’s bed (Genesis 49:4) ; for [the birthright] is dependent upon guarding the brit .
