Editing Dor Hashvei - The Seventh Generation (section)

==== In the Midrash ====
Regarding the verse "I have come to my garden, my sister, my bride" - which describes the giving of the Torah, when the Holy One came and was revealed in this physical world called "my garden" - the Midrash states that the reason the world is called "my garden" - God's garden, is because from the beginning of creation God was revealed in His world.

Through the sin of the Tree of Knowledge, the Divine Presence ascended to the first heaven, and through six additional sins the Divine Presence ascended from heaven to heaven until reaching the seventh heaven of the seven heavens above. Afterwards came seven righteous ones - beginning with Abraham, followed by Isaac, Jacob, Levi, Kehat and Amram - who brought down the Divine Presence, with each one bringing it down through another heaven; until Moses - the seventh - brought the Divine Presence down below through the establishment of the Tabernacle.
