Dán, a kígyó

Yaakov wanted to tell when Moshiach was going to come, and the Shechina departed from him. What that means that is that Yaakov requested the coming of Moshiach, to reveal the Guela. Through this, the Shechina departed from him. What that means is that he elevated himself [spiritually] and he went so much higher than himself through prayer. He went away from himself to the Shechina.

As one of the tribes. See Rashi’s alternate explanation. Although in the desert the tribe of Yehudah traveled first and Dan last, they were equal in that both produced leaders (David and Shimshon) who eliminated the wicked from their midst.

We now must awaken you to many places in Torah where the name Ya”h-י״ה is found. For example, the verse states, “For a hand is [raised in oath] on the throne of Ya”h-י״ה; HaShem-יהו״ה maintains a war against Amalek from generation to generation.” What does it mean, “From generation to generation-MiDor Dor-מדור דור”? The following explains this verse: The wicked Amalek comes from the power of the primordial snake (Nachash HaKadmonee). He adheres to him and derives his strength from him. From the time that the primordial snake (Nachash HaKadmonee) instilled his contamination into Chavah, Adam severed the plantings above and “estranged the Master-Alooph-אלוף.” This is the secret of the withdrawal of the Indwelling Presence of HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He, the Shechinah, the essential root of which was in the lower worlds, so that, “the dove could not find a resting place for the sole of its foot.” Now, even though when the children of Israel stood at Mount Sinai, their contamination ceased, nevertheless, the blemish of the moon (Levanah-לבנה) was never removed, except at specific intervals in time [on Rosh Chodesh-the new moon] when certain known sacrifices are offered, namely the known he-goats (Se’irim-שעירים) that Se’ir adheres to, in that Se’ir is the first (Reishit-ראשית) of Amalek’s strength. The sign for this is the verse, “The first of the nations (Reishit Goyim-ראשית גוים) is Amalek.” When Amalek came, he added further iniquity to the blemish of the moon by “disjointing Yaakov’s thigh,” thereby shattering the Kingdom of the House of David. Now, when the plantings were severed at the time of Adam, and when Amalek “disjointed Yaakov’s thigh,” the Torah portion of Remember-Zachor-זכור what Amalek did to you (Parshat Zachor) was established. Thus, the final two letters of the Name HaShem-יהו״ה, were blemished by the hand (Yedei-ידי) of Amalek, so to speak. This was possible because the hand of HaShem-Yad HaShem-יד יהו״ה afflicted them, as in the verse, “The hand of HaShem-Yad HaShem-יד יהו״ה shall be against you,” and it states, “the way of a snake-Nachash-נחש is upon a rock-Tzur-צור.” The sign for this is the verse, “Amalek came and fought against Israel in Rephidim-רפידים,” meaning, “Because of the slackness of their hands-Riphyon Yadayim-רפיון ידים.”
