264 - Charity is repair of the bris

Charity is repair of the bris [covenant, often referring to sexual purity]. Because damage of the bris is, because he was needing to influence [channel spiritual energy] in holiness to place that needs to influence and he removed the influence from there and drew it, G-d forbid to place other. And therefore the repair through the charity that through this returns and influences to there to the holiness and through this is repaired. And this aspect "And the men came upon the women" that is said in donation the Tabernacle [Exodus 35:22], that is aspect of coupling [union] that is made through the charity of donation the Tabernacle as above. And therefore when gives to poor that not worthy then on the contrary he damaged more, because returns and influences to place that not need. And see in place other [above in sign 31 and in sign 54] that explained also that charity is repair of the bris.
