“And the enlightened will shine like the splendor of the sky.” The enlightened are R. Simeon and his colleagues; they will shine when they gather to produce this composition. Permission is given to them and to Elijah who is with them, and to all the souls of the [celestial] academy to descend amongst them, and to all the angels.
