During the work, a person should say, “If I am not for me, who is for me?” At that time in the work, they think that they themselves are doing the ascents and descents, that they are men of war, called Tzava, “mighty men.” Afterward, when they are redeemed, they attain that the Lord is of hosts [Tzevaot], meaning that the Creator made all the ups and downs they had (RABASH, Article No. 6, “What Is Above Reason in the Work?“).

Question: Why is the Creator called a warrior? After all, He does everything; He gives both descents and ascents.

Answer: In order to participate in the movement of a person and of humanity, we must in some way correspond to the Creator.

Therefore, it is said here that we need to take an active part in this, examining and correct ourselves through prayer, in everything in which we discover our insufficient participation.
