Somewhere in the scroll a verse is shining with your face.
Israel's souls total 600,000 and are rooted in the Torah, which therefore has 600,000 interpretations at each level of PaRDeS, each soul made from one of them. In the future every person will understand the whole Torah through his own interpretation. Each night, as the soul goes up in sleep, it is taught according to that day's deeds. The Arizal would see a particular verse shining on a student's forehead, explain part of it, and tell him to recite it before sleep so that his soul would be taught the rest above. Moses' soul included all 600,000, so he grasped every interpretation.
