For Jewish intellectuals who were more inclined towards spiritual and metaphysical interpretations of Judaism, it was impossible to accept at face value those texts that stressed the physical or material advantages of the messianic epoch. Therefore, those authors preferred to read the ancient texts as metaphors or symbols for profound theological ideals.
The Maharal of Prague provided an ingenious exposition of the healing leaves and the rabbinic traditions about their curative powers. His interpretation contains a fascinating blend of kabbalistic mysticism and perceptive insights into the human psyche. The Maharal's discussion is rooted in his distinctive understanding of the metaphysical role of the Jerusalem Temple; it is the sacred bridge that joins heaven and earth, the conduit that allows divine blessings to descend into our world.

The flow of God's goodness into the lower realms is symbolized in Ezekiel's image of the river that issues from the Temple.

Furthermore, the rabbis' image of opening the upper mouth refers, in the Maharal's exposition, to the attainment of intellectual perfection. For philosophers, rationality was usually equated with the uniquely human capacity to utter coherent speech. Hence, muteness can serve as a suitable metaphor for a mind that has not reached its full potential.
This may be the universal human condition at present; however, Ezekiel's prophecy foresees the day when the spiritual power that is embodied in the Temple will, at long last, release its sublime spiritual energy and allow us to perfect our highest intellectual powers.
