(To the question) Because there is there a level of Phase Two from the phase of clothing, which is the phase of Israel Saba, and Yeshsut is the phase of HaVaYaH of SAG. (p. 485, entry "and behold")

(To the question) Through the ascent of the bottom Hey to the Einayim, which was in Tzimtzum Bet [Restriction Two], meaning that Malchut rose to Hochma, Malchut mixed and joined with every Sefira up to Hochma. (p. 485, entry "Malchut")

For the seven kings called by the name BON came out in a complete Partzuf, Rosh and Guf, and they broke, face and posterior. Therefore there are shells in them from head to foot, meaning in all of its RTS, and all the phases of the Rosh of the seven kings fell to Beria. And all the phases of the Toch of the seven kings fell to Yetzira. And all the phases of the Sof of the seven kings fell to Assiya. (p. 486, Item 2, and in Inner Light, Sub Header, “And there is”)

Because at the time of Katnut it lacks GAR, since this is so from the essence of its emanation; but at the time of Gadlut it attains GAR from the discernment of addition, and the shells have no suckling from there. For at the time that the lower ones commit a blemish, before the blemish is revealed, the GAR immediately depart from ZA. For anything that does not come with the Partzuf from the beginning of its emanation can depart from the Partzuf when the need arises. (p. 488, Item 5. And in the Inner Light, Sub Header, “ZA”)

(To the question) Malchut is always called by the name point, after the root Malchut, over which the first restriction was made. Therefore the aspect of the very subject of the restriction and screen, over which the coupling is made, is called everywhere by the name point. (p. 490, Item 8. And in the Inner Light, s.v. "points".)

There are four states: Achor b'Achor [back to back], Achor b'Panim [back to face], Panim b'Achor [face to back], and Panim b'Panim [face to face]. This is at the time when the male and female lack the three upper [Sefirot], because of the rising of the bottom Hey into the eyes. The first correction that suffices to support them in Atzilut is Achor b'Achor, meaning that they attain the light of the backs of Ima Ila'ah, for since she desires the light of Hassadim, in the secret of "for He desires kindness," she is found to reject the light of Hochma. Therefore, when they are included in this light and in these backs, they are not blemished at all for lacking Hochma, because of the bottom Hey in the eyes, for even if they were able to receive Hochma, they would likewise reject its reception, because of the desire for Hassadim imprinted in the backs of Ima Ila'ah. Therefore the backs of Ima serve them as though they were the light of the three upper [Sefirot]. And this is the first correction, called Achor b'Achor.

The second state is Achor b'Panim. For besides the diminishing and restriction of the light of Hochma because of the bottom Hey in the eyes, there is also a diminishing and restriction of the light of Hochma in the vessels of face of the female: for because of the sealing over the light of Hassadim that is in her vessels of face, she is not fit to receive the light of Hochma, since the light of Hochma is not received in the Partzuf without Hassadim. Therefore, after the diminishing because of the bottom Hey in the eyes is corrected by the coupling of Achor b'Achor, as above, the coupling of back to face is made, in which the male bestows upon her the light of Hassadim in abundance, and corrects the vessels of face of the female, thereby preparing her to be fit to receive the light of Hochma in them.

The third state is Panim b'Achor. This is reached by the upper coupling of AB SAG, which brings the bottom Hey down from the eyes and restores the Hochma and Bina to the Rosh, so that the male then attains his light of face as at first, before the diminishing. But the female no longer turns her face to the face of the male to receive the light of Hochma, without a cause obligating her to do so. This is because of her backs, on the part of the Bina of Ohr Yashar [direct light], in the secret of "for He desires kindness." Therefore the female then receives the light of face from the male through her backs, so that by this the light of Hochma is diminished greatly, and this coupling is called Panim b'Achor [face to back], since the face of the male bestows upon the female through her backs, and the vessels of face receive from the vessels of backs.

The fourth state is Panim b'Panim. This is reached only by the raising of MAN [female waters] from the aspect of ZON, for Bina has a connection with ZON on the part of the ten Sefirot of Ohr Yashar, in that Bina bestows upon them the light of Hochma. Therefore, when ZON rise to her as MAN, she cuts off her backs and turns her face to Hochma in order to receive from it the light of Hochma for the sake of ZON, and she is then found coupling with Hochma face to face. (page 498, items 23–25, and Inner Light there.)

(To the question) By means of the upper coupling of AB and SAG, which brings the bottom Hey down from the eyes, and returns the HB to the Rosh, the male attains the aspect of his face, but the female still needs the raising of MAN. Therefore their coupling is made in the aspect of face to back. As above, in the adjacent utterance. (p. 500, s.v. "above")

(To the question) The raising of MAN to Bina from the phase of ZON arouses Bina to turn her Panim back to Hochma. As above, Answer 96. (p. 501, entry "the degree")

(To the question) In ZON, all four states apply: Achor be Achor [back to back], Achor be Panim [back to face], Panim be Achor [face to back], and Panim be Panim [face to face]. But in AVI, the aspect of Achor be Panim does not apply; only Achor be Achor, Panim be Achor, and Panim be Panim apply. (p. 502, Item 25. And in Inner Light, entry "in AVI.")

When ZON are in the phase of back to back, they have only the wall of HGT, which is the phase of the posterior of Ima, as above in Answer 96. Both of them use this posterior together: half of it for ZA, and half of it for Nukva. But the posterior of NHY is lacking to both of them, being in the secret of “and their backs were toward the house.” For the posterior of NHY are from the phase of the Yesod of Aba, which is not revealed except through new Hassadim and Gevurot that come with the illumination of Hochma. Therefore, when Hesed and Gevura come from the face-to-face coupling of Aba and Ima, then the posterior of NHY are also completed for both of them, and ZA takes the Hassadim for himself, and gives the Gevurot to the Nukva. See above, Answer 45. (p. 507, Item 29, and in Inner Light, Sub Header, “Hassadim”)

Just as the lower man, through good deeds, raises MAN to ZON, so ZON select from the posterior of Aba and Ima that fell to their place, and raise MAN to Aba and Ima. Likewise Aba and Ima do this above them, until the end of all the degrees, until the first, uppermost Partzuf draws Mochin from the light of Ein Sof, blessed be He, and brings them down to the one below it, and so they pass to ZON. Thus every raising of MAN by the righteous causes the light to descend anew from Ein Sof, blessed be He, Himself, for there is no renewal of light in any of the worlds that is not drawn from Ein Sof, blessed be He. Remember this. (p. 505, in Inner Light, Sub Header, “Caused”)

They are mainly Hassadim and Gevurot, except that they contain an illumination of Hochma, namely according to the measure of stature that is then in AVI: if they are at the stature of Keter, then these Mochin are from the phase of the illumination of Hochma of the Partzuf of Keter. And if they are at the stature of Hochma, the Mochin are found from the phase of the illumination of Hochma of the Partzuf of Hochma, and so on. (p. 518, Sub Header, “And in this you shall understand”)

The first is that these new Hesed-Gevura [pairs], which contain the illumination of Hochma, are found to enlarge and complete the backs of ZON, as mentioned above in answer 100. And the second is that they attain the Mochin of the face, which are their GAR, whereupon they couple face-to-face. (p. 507, Item 29)

Three Partzufim emerged in Nekudim, which are: AVI in four levels, whose bodies are: Daat, Hesed, Gevura, and the upper third of Tifferet, down to the Chazeh. The second Partzuf is Yeshsut in four levels, whose bodies are: the lower two thirds of Tifferet, Netzah-Hod, Yesod, and Malchut. The third is the coupling of the two crowns in Daat, which emerged as a Rosh without a Guf. (p. 513, Item 39. And in the Inner Light, Sub Header, “The Seven Kings.” And p. 545, Item 73. And in the Inner Light there.)

There were many causes there, but the cause of their death and their descent to BYA was the mixture of phase four, which mixed into those vessels of the seven kings and is unfit to receive from the upper light. Therefore, when the light came to encounter phase four, it immediately departed and separated itself from the entire vessel, and the vessel died and fell into BYA, meaning below the line of Ein Sof that ends at the ground of Atzilut. There they fell into the shells, and after the admixture of phase four is selected and separated from them, they are returned to Atzilut, in the secret of the resurrection of the dead. This is done by the new MA, as will be explained in its place, with God's help. (p. 431, Item 42, and in Inner Light there, p. 430, Sub Header, “Included,” and in Inner Light, p. 486, Sub Header, “The Dross”)

(To the question) Only the lights that came out from the coupling of Gadlut of AVI were annulled, but what was in AVI from the beginning of their emanation, nothing at all was annulled. (p. 509, Item 31)

Its Rosh, namely the discernment from below upward, is the Rishayhu of AVI, called the mutual looking of the eyes of AVI, which emerged upon phase four of clothing and phase three of coarseness, which were included one within the other, bringing out the level of Keter. And the body of this level of Keter, which is its discernment from above downward, expanded in the king Daat. And it is the discernment of Yechida of ZON. (p. 518, Item 41. And in the Inner Light there, Sub Header, “Daat”)

Its extension from below upward is called the Guf of Abba, which emerged through phase three of clothing and phase two of coarseness, whose level reaches Hochma. And the Guf of this level expanded into the reign of King Hesed. It is the aspect of Haya of ZA. (p. 520, Items 42, 43)

(To the question) Its phase of from-below-upward is called Guf of Ima, which came out on the coarseness of phase two alone, whose level reaches to Bina, and the Guf expanded in the King of Gevura. And it is the phase of Neshama of ZA. (p. 521, Item 43)

Its extension from below upward is called the Yesodot of AVI [Abba ve-Ima], which emerged through the coarseness of phase one, whose level reaches ZA. And from above downward, this level expanded into the reign of King Tifferet, down to his chest. It is the aspect of Ruach of ZA. (p. 522, Item 45)

Its phase from below upward is called the Rishayhu of Yeshsut, and the mutual looking of the eyes of Yeshsut, which came out on a screen from the phase of the clothing of, and from the coarseness of, phase two, whose stature reaches Hochma. And its body extended into the king Tifferet, in its lower two thirds, from the Chazeh downward to its end. And it is the phase of Haya of the Neshama of ZA. (p. 522, Item 45)

(To the question) Its phase of from-below-upward is called Guf of YESHSUT, which came out on a screen of phase two, and its Guf expanded in the King of Netzah and Hod. And it is the phase of Neshama of the Neshama of ZA. (p. 526, Item 46)

(To the question) Its phase of from-below-upward is called Yesodot of YESHSUT, which came out on the coarseness of phase one, whose level reaches to ZA, and its Guf expanded in the King of Yesod. And it is the phase of Ruach of ZA of the Neshama. (p. 527, Item 47)

Its extension from below upward is called the Malchuyot of YESHSUT [Yisrael-Sava and Tevuna], which emerged through the screen of the aspect of root, whose level reaches Malchut. And its extension from above downward expanded into the seventh king, which is Malchut. It is the aspect of Nefesh of Neshama of ZA. (p. 527, Item 47)

(To the question) See below, Answer 150.

(To the question) See below, Answer 152.

(To the question) See below, Answer 154.

Because the entire returning of the face of Ima to the face of Aba was only in order to impart illumination of Hochma to ZON, by virtue of the connection she has to impart illumination of Hochma to the ZON of direct light, therefore even after her coupling face-to-face with Aba, she receives from him only according to the measure by which the Bina of direct light imparts illumination of Hochma to the ZON of direct light. And it is known that the ZON of direct light is essentially the light of Hassadim, apart from the illumination of Hochma that the Bina imparts to it. Therefore here too she imparts to it mainly only Hassadim and Gevurot, together with only an illumination of Hochma. And therefore even in Aba and Ima who are at the level of Keter, Ima does not receive from Aba the light of Hochma that is in the Keter, but only the illumination of Hochma that is in the ZON of the Keter. And this is the level of the degree, from below upward, in Aba and Ima, called the Daat of Aba and Ima, which is considered to be the Rosh of Melech HaDaat [the King of Daat]. (Item 41, and Item 9 in Inner Observation)

Two causes act together in determining the levels of the five Kelim (Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Haya, Yechida) of Zeir Anpin. The first is the measure of the level of AVI themselves, which continues still from the state of Panim ba'Achor (face-to-back) of AVI, that is, according to the place of the descent of the bottom Hey. If it reaches the mouth, they have the level of Keter. If it reaches the nose, they have the level of Hochma. If it reaches the ear, they have the level of Bina. And if it returns to the eyes, they have the level of Zeir Anpin. And the second cause is the aspect of the Mayin Nukvin that rose to Ima, which arouse her to the coupling of Panim be-Panim, for they draw down not from the whole level of AVI, but only from the illumination of Hochma of ZON that is in the same level in which AVI are found. So that if AVI are in the level of Keter, then only the illumination of Hochma that is in the ZON of Keter is drawn, and this is the Yechida of Zeir Anpin. And if AVI are found in the level of Hochma, then only the illumination of Hochma that is in the ZON of Hochma is drawn, and this is the Haya of Zeir Anpin. And if AVI are in the level of Bina, then the illumination of Hochma that is in the ZON of Bina is drawn, and this is the Neshama of Zeir Anpin. And so on. (Page 518, Sub Header “And in this you shall understand”)

For the posterior of Aba and Ima that fell and were nullified was only what came to them as an addition beyond the essence of their own emanation, which is the phase of back to back. Therefore, no posterior fell from the phase of the Yesod of Aba and Ima, since Aba and Ima had already returned to back to back, even before the coupling of the Yesod of Aba and Ima came out, namely, right after the body of Ima was nullified. Hence the lights of the Yesod are entirely face, from the beginning of their emanation, and there is no phase of posterior in it at all that came down from it. (p. 521, Item 44)

For the relation of Tifferet to the five Hassadim is like the relation of Bina to the five phases. And therefore, since Bina is divided into two halves: Bina and Tevuna — Bina being the light of Hassadim without Hochma, which is the aspect of GAR, that is, before she emanated the ZON of direct light; and Tevuna being with the illumination of Hochma, which is the aspect of the ZAT of Bina, that is, from the time she emanated the ZON of direct light with the illumination of Hochma, she then left the aspect of her own essence, which is the light of Hassadim alone, and received the new name Tevuna, which is the aspect of the illumination of Hochma remaining in the root Bina even after she emanated to ZON — and therefore Tevuna is considered the ZAT of Bina.

And since Tifferet is the aspect of the Bina of the five Hassadim, as said, it too is divided just as Bina: into GAR until the chest, and ZAT from the chest downward until its end. And it too, like Bina, in its GAR until the chest, only the light of Hassadim shines, and the illumination of Hochma is hidden there in the Yesod of Bina. And in its ZAT from the chest downward, the illumination of Hochma is found openly revealed, for the Yesod of Ima has already ceased at the place of the chest. (Page 523, Sub Header “And still”)

For Daat, Hesed, Gevura, and Tifferet, within the Hassadim, correspond to KHB of the five phases KHB ZON. Therefore their lights were drawn to them according to the correspondence opposite them in the five phases: the light of Yechida is drawn to Daat; the light of Haya is drawn to Hesed, which is the discernment of Hochma of the Hassadim; the light of Neshama is drawn to Gevura, which is the discernment of Bina of the Hassadim; and the light of Ruach is drawn to Tifferet, which is the discernment of Daat of the Hassadim. (p. 524, Sub Header, “Arrived”)

You already know the division of Bina and Tevuna into two halves, GAR and ZAT, that the GAR is the aspect of Bina before she emanated ZON, when she is only the light of Hassadim. And this is the aspect of AVI Ila'in (Upper Aba ve-Ima). And the ZAT, which is the aspect of Bina after she emanated ZON, when she also has the illumination of Hochma, is called Tevuna, and this is the aspect of Yeshsut. And with this you will understand that AVI Ila'in are not attributed at all to being the Rosh of ZON, for on the contrary, the whole essence of AVI Ila'in is because they are the aspect of Bina before she emanated ZON, and they have only the light of Hassadim, which is not at all of the aspect of ZON, who are only the aspect of Hassadim in the illumination of Hochma. Therefore only the Yeshsut, who are the aspect of the ZAT of AVI, who emanated the ZON of AVI, and who have the illumination of Hochma, which is the whole degree of Zeir Anpin, are always considered in all the Partzufim to be the aspect of the Rosh of ZON. (Page 525, Sub Header “And you shall remember”)

For the nullification of the posterior of Aba and Ima was not due to the mixture of the judgments, which are phase four, but solely due to the refinement of the screen. Therefore they were not entirely disqualified from the phase of Atzilut, but only nullified for a time. That is, as long as they have no one to bestow upon, they remain nullified, but when the vessels return from BYA to Atzilut, they, too, return to bestow upon them as before. Hence they are only in the phase of temporary nullification, not in the phase of breaking and death, as with the seven kings. Also, the phase of the illumination of back to back of Aba and Ima reached the aforementioned posterior, called the expansion of the three lines of KHB, to the posterior standing in HGT. (p. 493, Item 14)

Because all these four levels that came out in the growth of Aba and Ima came out for the sake of the MAN of the Vav and the point of the Yesod of AK, which are the general phase of ZON, the phase of the Guf, and are not at all from the phase of Aba and Ima. Only when they were included in the coupling of Aba and Ima themselves, and served there as MAN, drawing the illumination of Hochma for the seven kings, did they then have a place in the Rosh of Aba and Ima. But once that coupling upon them was already annulled, they no longer have a place there, and they must return to their place in the Guf. (p. 493, Item 14)

For the four levels that emerged in the AVI of Gadlut and in the NHY of Keter, which served them as Mochin, were of the discernment of KHB of Nekudim, corrected with the correction of the lines. Now, after they were nullified and fell into the discernment of their bodies, the discernment of the correction of the lines of KHB was drawn along with them into the places where they fell, and these posteriors, too, were corrected with the correction of the lines, like the KHB. (p. 537, Sub Header, “The Light of Tifferet,” and p. 528, Sub Header, “And with”)

(To the question) For those posteriors that fell from AVI are the aspect of the MAN that AVI received from the Yesod of AK, and therefore, after they fell to the place of ZON, ZON raises them back as MAN to AVI, from all the levels within them, which are NRNHY. (p. 529, s.v. "the raising of MAN")

(To the question) The phase of Toch in all the vessels fell to Yetzira. And the phases of Sof in all the vessels fell to Assiya. (p. 534, entry "and fell")

The records of the four kings of HGT descended first into the discernment of NHYM of Atzilut, and afterward clothed in the new vessels of HGT that were made from the posteriors of AVI of Nekudim. And the record of the four kings NHYM rose first to the new vessels of HGT, and afterward descended from there, and clothed in the new vessels of NH that were made from the posteriors of Yeshsut. (p. 539, Sub Header, “The Light of Daat.” And in the Inner Observation, p. 559, Item 32)

For at the time of the clothing of the lights in the vessels, whatever is coarser is regarded as more important and higher. The opposite is true after the departure of the lights from the vessels, for then whatever is coarser is lower. Therefore, since Daat was the highest of all at the time of clothing, it is found to be the lowest of all at the time of departure. Hesed, whose coarseness is less than it, is higher than it; Gevura, whose coarseness is less than Hesed, is higher than Hesed; and Tifferet, whose coarseness is less than all of them, is higher than all of them. (p. 554, Item 19)

(To the question) For their vessels broke and fell to BYA; therefore they drew as close to them as they could, in order to illuminate them in the phase of crowns [Tagin] upon the letters. (p. 554, Item 20)

(To the question) Because its vessel, which is the upper third of Tifferet, fell only to the aspect of the chest and below, it therefore did not need to descend at all, since it remained attached to it from its place, in the aspect of crowns upon it. (p. 557, Item 28)

(To the question) It did not remain in its place, but rose and clothed in the new vessel of the upper third of Tifferet, made from the posteriors of AVI. Nevertheless this is not a great change, since in the end they are two halves of one vessel. (p. 558, Item 30)

The Rosh of Yeshsut clothed, from below upward, this entire place of the four kings of HGT, and it is the discernment of expansion whose way is to fill the empty vessels and the records of the body of the one above. Therefore it illuminated to these records of the four kings of HGT, which are the discernment of the body of the one above it, namely of AVI, and drew them to their place in the new vessels, in order to clothe them. (p. 555, Sub Header, “And behold”)

(To the question) Because the kings of HGT are aspects of GAR of ZAT, they are therefore attributed to the GAR of BYA. (p. 539, entry "and with this")

For when the records were close to them, in the discernment of crownlets [tagin] on the letters, in the place of NHYM of Atzilut, they were able to sustain themselves within GAR of BYA, since they too were a discernment of GAR of ZAT. But after the records grew distant and clothed in the new vessels and in the Rosh of Yeshsut, their illumination from the vessels ceased, and therefore they fell to the lowest floor of BYA, which is the place of NHYM of BYA. (p. 556, Item 25)

(To the question) The posterior of Daat of AVI, which was clothed in the NHY of Keter of Nekudim, spread out in the middle line and became new vessels of Daat and Tifferet.

(To the question) The aspect of the posteriors that fell from the head of Yeshsut, which fell from the place above the chest to the place below the chest, were corrected in the aspect of the middle line by the illumination of the Rosh from the coupling of the two crowns in Daat, and it enlarged the vessel of Tifferet to its end. (p. 559, Item 32)

Since these posteriors of AVI come from the discernment of AVI and the NHY of Keter, which are the KHB of Nekudim, corrected with the correction of the lines from the essence of their emanation in the discernment of back to back, which is through the illumination of the upper Ima — therefore, even after they fell from the Rosh to the place of HGT, they are also influenced by the discernment of back to back of AVI that was not nullified, and the correction of their lines continues over the posteriors as well. (p. 555, Item 22)

After the vessel of Malchut also broke, and the screen of Yeshsut became refined from every discernment of coarseness of the body that was in it, it turns out that it rose and was included in the coupling of the Rosh of Yeshsut. And since phase two, which is the last phase, disappeared, and nothing remained but the coarseness of phase one, therefore only the level of ZA emerged upon it, which is the discernment of Hesed and Gevura, called the two crowns of Daat. (p. 559, Item 32)

(To the question) Through the posterior of Yeshsut that fell to the place of TNHY, and through their clothing in the new Rosh of the two Atarin [crowns], the new vessels TNVH were made. (p. 559, Item 32)

From the records of SAG included in the screen, the Katnut of Nekudim emerged, up to the aspect of back-to-back of AVI [Abba ve-Ima]. And from the records of NHY of AK included in the screen, the Gadlut of Nekudim and the seven kings emerged. (p. 547)

(To the question) MA and BON of AK, which are the NHY of AK, rose as MAN to the upper AB and SAG and coupled Panim be Panim [face to face]. And they brought down the bottom Hey from the Einayim, and returned all of the AHP to their degree as at first. (p. 547, Item 4)

(To the question) From the new light that broke through the Parsa and came out through the Tabur, the bottom Hey was brought down from the eyes of Keter, and AVI returned to the Rosh, and came into the state of face to back. And from the light that came out through the Yesod of AK to AVI, MAN was made for AVI, which brought them to the state of face to face, and they brought out the seven Kings of Nekudim. (p. 548, Item 5)

(To the question) At the time the GAR of Nekudim came out, AVI were in the aspect of back to back, so there was no expansion from them to a body. Therefore they needed the coupling of AB and SAG, and the MAN of the Yesod of AK, and then they came into a coupling of face to face, and expanded into their bodies, which are the seven Kings. (p. 548, Item 6)

(To the question) Because according to the order of the degree, the level of ZA comes out only from AVI, which is the phase of SAG, and not from the NHY of AK, which is the phase of Galgalta. (p. 548, entry "and there is no")

(To the question) They are the phase of the Vav and point of the Yesod of AK, namely the totality of ZON, also all the records of the four levels of Gadlut with their garments. (p. 552, Item 15)

(To the question) Each head of the four Komot fell into the aspect of its own body. (p. 552, Item 15)

The first is the rising of MAN from the NHY of AK to the upper AB and SAG, which coupled them together. The second is the new light that came out from the coupling of AB and SAG, which breached the Parsa. The third is the descent of that new light below the navel and its emergence into the Keter of Nekudim, which brought the bottom Hey down from the eyes of Keter to the mouth of Nekudim. The fourth is the illumination that went out through the Yesod to AVI and became MAN for ZA and Malchut [ZM], which returned AVI to face to face. (p. 561, Item 2)

The first is the coupling upon the screen, which measures the level, according to the place of the bottom Hey. The second is the coupling of AVI face to face (Panim be-Panim), which measures the illumination of Hochma for ZON. The third is the level that goes out from below upward in AVI themselves. The fourth is the level that spreads from above downward for the aspect of the body, called king. The fifth is the departure of the light to its root because of the mixing in of phase four found in the vessel. The sixth is the fall of the vessel to the GAR of BYA. The seventh is the leaving of the record from the lights that departed. The eighth is the descent of the record to the NHY of Malchut of Atzilut in the aspect of crowns upon the letters. The ninth is the fall of the posteriors of AVI to the places of their bodies. The tenth is the correction of the lines made in those posteriors of AVI that fell.

The eleventh is the rising of the records from the NHY of Malchut of Atzilut to the new vessels of Hesed-Gevura-Tifferet that were made from the posteriors of AVI. The twelfth is the descent of the vessels also from the GAR of BYA to the NHY of BYA. (Page 563, item 4)

(To the question) The first is the ascent of the screen that was refined to AVI. The second is its inclusion in the coupling of Achor be Achor [back to back] of AVI. The third is the inclusion in the coupling of Panim be Achor [face to back] of AVI. The fourth is the inclusion in the coupling of Panim be Panim [face to face] of AVI. (p. 564, Item 7)

1. It is the coupling on the screen that measures the height of the level according to the place of the bottom Hey. 2. It is the coupling face to face that measures the illumination of Hochma for ZON. 3. It is the level from below upward. 4. It is the level from above downward in the Guf called king. 5. It is the departure of the light. 6. It is the fall of the vessel to BYA. 7. It is the records that remained from the lights. 8. It is the ascent of the records to the new vessels of the posterior of AVI. 9. It is the fall of the posterior of YESHSUT to the phase of Guf. 10. It is the correction of the lines in the posterior of YESHSUT, which thereby became the vessels of TNHY. 11. It is the descent of the records of the kings of TNHY to the new vessels from the posterior of YESHSUT. (Item 17)

The ascent of Malchut means the ascent of the screen, after its refinement from all the coarseness of the body within it, to the screen of the Rosh of Yeshsut, on which a new coupling is made at the stature of phase one, and only the phase from below upward came out in it, and this is what corrected the posteriors of Yeshsut in lines and completed the correction of lines in all of VAK. (p. 569, Sub Header, “For”)

This answer, of cause and consequence, is a continuation of the answer of cause and consequence brought in Part Six, Answer 164. For there it was explained, the necessitation of cause and consequence from Restriction One and downward, until the Katnut of AVI of Nekudim, in the state of back to back. And here we will continue to explain from the Gadlut of AVI of Nekudim until the correction of the lines of the new vessels:

The lower BASH of Tifferet and NH, that came out after the completion of the breaking of the vessels. And we will explain how there are one hundred and three operations here, and how they emerge from one another in absolute necessitation of cause and consequence.

And you already know, that the lights in general are divided into two discernments: the light of Hochma, and the light of Hassadim. And in both there are five phases, and the five phases of the light of Hochma are called KHB ZON. And the five phases of the light of Hassadim are called HGT NH. Now the two discernments mentioned came out and cascaded from the inner AK, until their arrival at the level of MA and BON. At first there emerged from AK three Partzufim: AB, SAG, MA and BON, until AVI of Nekudim that were back to back. And all these are of the first discernment, of the light of Hochma. And after that there emerged, correspondingly, three Partzufim of the second discernment, of the light of Hassadim, which are: AB, SAG, MA and BON, called AVI, YESHSUT, and Daat, all of which came out in the world of Nekudim, as written in this Part. And from them we shall begin the explanation here.

1) Now, the first cause for the emergence of the three Partzufim of the discernment of the light of Hassadim is the records of MA and BON of AK, which rose as MAN to the upper AB and SAG, and they coupled face to face, as written (page 561, item 1).

2. By the power of this coupling a new light came out and breached the Parsa. 3. That new light breached the Parsa and came out through the Tabur to the Keter of Nekudim, and brought the bottom Hey down from the Einayim to the general Peh of Nekudim, and returned AVI to the Rosh, and they attained their GAR, and thereby came to the state of face to back.

4. This new light descended and shone to the NHY of AK, and then the Yesod shone the Vav and a dot to AVI in the aspect of MAN, which caused them the state of face to face. In such a way that the two operations, the third and the fourth, join in face to face. For the face of Abba is caused by operation three, namely by the new light that shone through the Tabur. And the face of Ima is drawn from the new light that shone through the Yesod as MAN, which causes the face of Ima. So these four operations emerge from one another and are caused by one another. For the fourth and the third, which are the two states of face to face and face to back, are drawn from the new light that breached the Parsa, which is operation two, and it is drawn from the coupling of AB and SAG, which is operation one, and the cause of this coupling is the raising of MAN from the NHY of AK.

And you must remember, that the cause for the raising of MAN of the NHY of AK is the refinement of the screen of the Guf of SAG, which was comprised of two kinds of records: of the records of the NHY of AK, and of its own record, namely of SAG. And after it was refined of all its coarseness, it is considered to have risen and been included in the Rosh of SAG, as is known. And therefore, first the coupling was made on the records of SAG included in the screen, by which coupling the bottom Hey rose to the Einayim and the AHP of all the degrees were pushed outside the degree, until the AHP of the ten Sefirot of Sium, namely Bina, ZA and Malchut, of the ten Sefirot of the NHY of AK, were pushed down below the line of Ein Sof to the place of BYA. And this is the last consequence with which we concluded the answer of cause and consequence in Part Six. It is also the last operation that cascaded from the five Partzufim GESAMB of the discernment of the light of Hochma, as above. And after that the coupling of the upper AB and SAG was made on the records included in the screen from the NHY of AK, which returns and restores the AHP of all the degrees that were pushed away, for the new light that comes out of the coupling of AB and SAG brings the bottom Hey down from the Einayim to its place at the Peh as at first, and it is found breaching and canceling the boundary of the Parsa, and restores the BYA to Atzilut.

And you should understand two things here: one, that the two couplings mentioned, of Katnut and Gadlut, contradict one another, although both are caused by one and the same cause, which is the refinement of the screen of SAG, which raised together the two kinds of records for the coupling, as above. For the first coupling, of Katnut, which came out on the records of SAG, raised the bottom Hey to the Einayim and pushed the AHP away from all the degrees. And the second coupling, of Gadlut, which was made on the records of the NHY of AK, brought the bottom Hey back down from the Einayim and restored the AHP to their degree. So they contradict one another.

And the second thing that needs to be understood here is, that between the two couplings mentioned is the parting of ways of the two kinds of five Partzufim mentioned: of the discernment of the light of Hochma, and of the discernment of the light of Hassadim. For the coupling that came out from the bottom Hey in the pupils of the Einayim on the records of SAG is the last Partzuf of the five Partzufim GESAMB of the discernment of the light of Hochma. And the second coupling, of Gadlut, that came out on the records of the NHY of AK by the coupling of AB and SAG, is the beginning of the five Partzufim GESAMB of the discernment of the light of Hassadim, from which point onward the essence of the Partzufim is considered to be of the discernment of the light of Hassadim, except that they have only the illumination of GAR. In the way that the GESAMB of Nekudim was explained, called AVI, YESHSUT and Daat, which are the discernment of NRNHY of ZA. So the parting of ways of the two kinds of five Partzufim is found between the two couplings mentioned.

2) After it has been explained well, the four operations that were necessitated to bring AVI to the state of face to face, which are: the raising of MAN from the NHY of AK to the coupling of AB and SAG, and the new light that breached the Parsa which came out from the coupling, and the emergence of the new light through the Tabur which brought down the bottom Hey and brought AVI to the state of face to back, and the emergence of its illumination through the Yesod in the aspect of MAN which brought AVI to the state of face to face — we shall now explain the nine operations that are drawn from that coupling face to face, how they cause one another, in the way of the necessitation of cause and consequence. And all those nine operations were made in the king of Daat, from the beginning of its formation in the heads of AVI, until the cancellation of its coupling.

And there are two principal causes here, which join into one operation, namely: the one that measures the extent of the level, and the one that measures and receives only the illumination of Hochma. The first cause is the extent of the coarseness in the screen, which is measured by the place of the bottom Hey. Here it is phase four of clothing and phase three of coarseness, which brings out the ten Sefirot from below upward at the level of Keter, and this is because the place of the bottom Hey is at the Peh of the general Rosh of Nekudim. And this cause is caused by operation three, which is the bringing down of the bottom Hey from the Einayim. And operation six is the second cause, which is the return of the face of Ima that depends on the MAN, which is the discernment of the collective ZON rooted in the Vav and dot, which she received from the Yesod of AK. And therefore she does not receive from the face of Abba more than the measure of the illumination of Hochma of the ZON of the inner AVI that AVI receives from the Bina of the inner AVI, which measure is called a window. And this second cause is caused by operation four, which is the MAN of the Yesod of AK. And thus operation five, which is the measuring of the level, and operation six, which is the extent of the illumination of Hochma, have been explained, being caused by operations three and four.

And from operations five and six mentioned are drawn the ten Sefirot of the Rosh in AVI from below upward, called the Daat of AVI, whose essence is Hesed and Gevura, but with illumination of Hochma. Its level is considered like the ZON of the level of Keter, for operation five measures the level of Keter, and operation six confines it to the illumination of Hochma of the ZON of Keter. And this is operation seven, namely the ten Sefirot of the Rosh, at the level of the ZON of Keter. And the Malchut of this Rosh spreads through the whole extent of the level in the Rosh, and descends and clothes in the king of Daat, and this is operation eight, which is caused by operation six, as explained.

And from operation eight, which is the level of Keter that clothed in the king of Daat, two operations are drawn: the ninth, which is the departure of the light, and the tenth, which is the death of the vessel and its fall to BYA. For had this level been received in the vessel of Daat, it would have restored the BYA to Atzilut, since the coupling came out on the bottom Hey that descended to its place as at first, before Restriction Two, since the Parsa had already been breached. However, because of the mixture of dross in the vessel, the light could not clothe in it to its end, for when the light met the phase four mixed within it, it departed at once to its root. And therefore the vessel fell to the BYA of separation, for since it contained the completion of the BYA, its state was therefore considered from the outset to be in the place of BYA, since it had to join them to Atzilut. And since it did not join them, because the light departed from it, it itself remained in the BYA of separation. And you see, that the measure of the light itself, which is operation eight, is what caused its departure, since the vessel could not receive it. And it caused its fall to BYA, because its measure had placed it in the place of BYA in order to join them to Atzilut, thereby causing that the vessel itself separated from Atzilut and fell to BYA, which is the death to the vessel.

And from operations nine and ten, which are the departure of the light, and the fall to BYA, two operations are drawn, which are: the eleventh, which is the leaving of the record from the light that departed, for such is the way of lights, that they leave records behind them in the place where they were, after their departure from there. So operation eleven is caused by operation nine. And operation twelve, which is the descent of the records to the bottom of Atzilut as far as they could, is caused by operation ten, which is their fall to BYA. For therefore they could not be found within the vessels in their normal way and had to shine upon them from above them, in the aspect of crowns, and therefore they descended to the bottom of Atzilut to draw near to their level, as far as they could, in order to give them life.

And also operation thirteen, which is the cancellation of the coupling in the heads of AVI, and the falling of the records and the MAN to the place of their Guf, which is called the cancellation of the posterior of AVI, is also caused by operation ten. For since the vessel broke and fell to BYA, its screen was thereby canceled, and there is no longer a receiver for the lights of the Rosh, and it is known, that the whole return of the face of Ima was not at all for her own sake, but for the sake of the bond of the inner ZON that she has, to bestow the illumination of Hochma to ZON. And therefore, after the receiver broke, this whole coupling is found to be canceled, since for herself she desires only Hassadim, in the secret of, “for He desires kindness.” So it has been explained, how operation eleven, which is the leaving of the records, is caused by the ninth, which is the departure of the light. And the two operations twelve and thirteen are caused by operation ten, which is the fall to BYA.

3) From operation thirteen, which is the cancellation of the coupling from the screen in the Rosh at the level of Keter, the bottom Hey is found departing from the place of the Peh and rising to the Hotem, since the departure proceeds according to the order of the degree, from phase four to phase three, and from phase three to phase two, and so on, until it departs completely, as is known. And it is found that when the coupling of phase four, which is the discernment of the bottom Hey that was in the place of the Peh, departed, it rose to phase three, which is the Hotem. And therefore two new operations come out here, namely the two causes that operate in the five Partzufim of Hassadim: the first, for measuring the level, caused by operation thirteen mentioned, and this is operation fourteen. And the second is for drawing the illumination of Hochma, which is drawn from the remainder of the MAN of the Yesod of AK, for in the cancellation of the coupling of the level of Keter, only one part of the MAN attributed to the level of Keter was canceled, while the remainder still remained in Ima, and it returned her face to face in the new coupling that is on the screen of phase three. And this is operation fifteen.

So it has been explained how the three operations — the fourteenth, which is the measuring of the level of phase three, and the fifteenth, which is the drawing of the illumination of Hochma from the level of phase three — are both caused by operation thirteen, which is the cancellation of the coupling of the level of Keter, for they are the remainder that was left: in the coarseness, and in the MAN, after the cancellation of the level of Keter.

And from the two operations fourteen and fifteen are drawn the ten Sefirot from below upward, called the body of Abba. For the fourteenth measures the level of Hochma in it, and the fifteenth draws the illumination of Hochma from this level. And this is operation sixteen. And from the Malchut of these ten Sefirot are drawn the ten Sefirot from above downward, to the body called the king of Hesed. And this is operation seventeen, caused by the sixteenth.

And from operation seventeen are drawn two operations: the departure of the light from the vessel of Hesed, which is operation eighteen, and its fall to BYA, which is operation nineteen, in the way explained above in operations nine and ten. See there.

And from operation eighteen, which is the departure of the light, is caused operation twenty, which is the leaving of the record, for such is the nature of every light that departs, as above. And from operation nineteen are caused two operations, which are: operation twenty-one, which is the descent of the records to the bottom of Atzilut, and operation twenty-two, which is the cancellation of the coupling of the Rosh of the level of Hochma, in the way mentioned above in operations twelve and thirteen, caused by operation ten. See there.

4) From operation twenty-two, which is the cancellation of the coupling of the level of Hochma, two operations are caused: the twenty-third, which is a new cause for the level of Bina, since with the cancellation of the coupling from the Hotem, the bottom Hey rose to the Ozen, which is phase two. And the twenty-fourth, which is the drawing of the illumination of Hochma from the level of Bina, which is the second cause as above in the fourteenth and fifteenth, drawn from the thirteenth. See there.

From the two operations, the twenty-third and the twenty-fourth, are caused the ten Sefirot from below upward, in AVI, called the body of Ima, which is operation twenty-five, since the twenty-third measures the level of Bina, and the twenty-fourth draws the illumination of Hochma from this level.

From operation twenty-five, from the Malchut in it, is drawn the expansion to the body, to the king of Gevura, and this is operation twenty-six.

From operation twenty-six is drawn the departure of the light, which is operation twenty-seven, and the fall of the vessel to BYA, which is operation twenty-eight, in the way of the eighteenth and nineteenth above, caused by the seventeenth.

From operation twenty-seven, which is the departure of the light, is drawn operation twenty-nine, which is the leaving of a record. And from operation twenty-eight, which is the fall to BYA, are caused two operations: which are the descent of the record to the bottom of Atzilut, which is operation thirty, and the cancellation of the coupling of the level of Bina, which is operation thirty-one, in the way mentioned above in operations twelve and thirteen, caused by the tenth.

5) From operation thirty-one, which is the cancellation of the coupling of the level of Bina, two operations, thirty-two and thirty-three, are caused, which are: the measuring for the level of ZA, since after the coupling was canceled from the Ozen, the bottom Hey rose back to the Einayim, which is phase one — this is operation thirty-two — and the drawing of this illumination to ZON, which is operation thirty-three.

From the two operations, thirty-two and thirty-three, are caused the ten Sefirot of the level of ZA from below upward, in AVI, called the Yesodot of AVI. And this is operation thirty-four.

From operation thirty-four is caused the expansion to the king of the SHA of Tifferet, and this is operation thirty-five. And from it is caused operation thirty-six, which is the departure of the light, and the thirty-seventh, which is its fall to the discernment of the lower BASH of Tifferet, as above in the two operations nine and ten, caused by the eighth. See there.

And from operation thirty-six, which is the departure of the light, is caused the leaving of the record, which is operation thirty-eight.

And from operation thirty-seven, which is the fall to BYA, is drawn the cancellation of the coupling of phase one, since by the breaking of the vessel the receiver was canceled, the screen was refined from it, and the coupling of the Rosh ceased, since there is no longer anyone to bestow to. And this is operation thirty-nine. And here one operation is missing, namely the descent of the record, since the record remained in its place, because its vessel did not now fall to BYA, but rather to its own lower BASH from the Chazeh downward, and the record is able to shine to it from its own place, from the Chazeh upward, without any descent.

YESHSUT and the kings of TNHYM

6) From operation thirty-nine, which is the cancellation of the coupling of phase one, due to the refinement of the screen, is caused the ascent of the screen of the Guf together with the records in it, to AVI, since after the screen was refined of the coarseness of phase one to the root, and after all the coarseness of the Guf ceased entirely from it, it is considered thereby to have risen and been included in the screen of the Rosh of AVI. (As above, page 563, item 5.) And this is operation forty.

From operation forty, which is the ascent of the screen to AVI, is caused operation forty-one, which is its inclusion and its renewal there, in the coupling back to back that remains in AVI.

From operation forty-one is caused operation forty-two, which is the emergence of the coupling of face to back in AVI, on the screen and the records of YESHSUT included in it, since through the renewal of the coarseness in the screen by its inclusion in the coupling back to back of AVI, the coarseness returned upon all the records included in the screen, except the last discernment, which is phase three, since only the discernment of clothing remained of it, as is known. And therefore a new coupling was made there, in the inclusion in AVI, on the coarseness of phase three of clothing and phase two of coarseness, whereby the bottom Hey in AVI is considered to have returned and descended from the Einayim to the discernment of Ozen and Hotem, which are included in one another. And there emerged the level of Hochma, which is the discernment of the face of Abba, but Ima still does not return her face to Abba, without MAN, as is known, and therefore they thereby came to the state of face to back.

And from operation forty-two, which is face to back, is caused operation forty-three, which is the state of face to face, since after the records included in the screen grew coarser, they also became MAN for Ima, because these records are of ZON, which always arouse MAN in Ima. And therefore she returned face to face with Abba.

From operation forty-three, which is the state of face to face, is caused operation forty-four, which is the descent of the level of face to face mentioned that came out in AVI, to the body of Nekudim, to the place of the Chazeh in Tifferet. For after the coarseness was recognized in the screen with the records included in it, it was revealed in it that it is the discernment of the screen of the Guf, which differs from the discernment of the Rosh, and therefore it descended to its root, from where it had risen, which is the place of the Chazeh. And it brought forth there the level of ten Sefirot from the Chazeh upward to the Peh of AVI, at the measure of the level it had while included in AVI.

7) From operation forty-four, which is the descent of the level to the place from the Chazeh upward to the Peh, called YESHSUT, four operations are drawn all at once, namely up to operation forty-eight.

For this operation, namely the clothing of YESHSUT in the place of the Guf of Nekudim from the Chazeh to the Peh of the Rosh of AVI, where the four levels of AVI fell after their coupling was canceled, as above (page 562, item 3, see the whole continuation there), called the fall of the posterior of AVI, caused the expansion of the three lines of KHB in this posterior, and from them four new vessels of DHGT were corrected in the place of the Rosh of YESHSUT, since the Rosh of YESHSUT clothed them, in the way of every Rosh of a lower Partzuf that clothes the Guf of the upper one: and a vessel of Hesed was made in the right line, and a vessel of Gevura in the left line, and a vessel of Tifferet in the middle line down to the Chazeh, namely to the place where the Rosh of YESHSUT begins to clothe.

And four operations were made in this: forty-five, forty-six, forty-seven and forty-eight. Operation forty-five is the new vessel of Daat. Operation forty-six is the new vessel of Hesed on the right. Operation forty-seven is the new vessel of Gevura on the left. Operation forty-eight is the new vessel of Tifferet in the middle down to the Chazeh, namely only the SHA.

From these four operations, four other operations are caused: forty-nine, fifty, fifty-one, fifty-two. For from operation forty-five, which is the new vessel of Daat, is caused the ascent of the record of Daat, which was in the place of the Malchut of Atzilut, and now rose to the new vessel that was made in its place. And this is operation forty-nine. And from operation forty-six is drawn the ascent of the record of Hesed to the new vessel of Hesed, and this is operation fifty. And from operation forty-seven is drawn the ascent of the record of Gevura to the new vessel of Gevura, and this is operation fifty-one. And from operation forty-eight is drawn the clothing of the record of Tifferet in the vessel of Tifferet, and this is operation fifty-two. And from them are caused another three operations: fifty-three, fifty-four, fifty-five. For from operation forty-nine, which is the clothing of the record of Daat in the new vessel of Daat, is caused the descent of the vessel of Daat that was in the Daat of BYA, and now, because of the record's growing distant from it, it descended to the bottom of BYA, namely to their Malchut, and this is operation fifty-three. And from operation fifty is caused the descent of the record of Hesed from the Bina of BYA to the Yesod of BYA, due to the growing distance of the record. And this is operation fifty-four. And from operation fifty-one is caused the descent of the record of Gevura from the Hochma of BYA to the NH of BYA. And this is operation fifty-five.

And from them are caused another three operations: fifty-three, fifty-four, fifty-five. For from operation forty-nine, which is the clothing of the record of Daat in the new vessel of Daat, is caused the descent of the vessel of Daat that was in the Daat of BYA, and now, because of the record's growing distant from it, it descended to the bottom of BYA, namely to their Malchut, and this is operation fifty-three. And from operation fifty is caused the descent of the record of Hesed from the Bina of BYA to the Yesod of BYA, due to the growing distance of the record, and this is operation fifty-four. And from operation fifty-one is caused the descent of the record of Gevura from the Hochma of BYA to the NH of BYA. And this is operation fifty-five.

8) And from operation forty-four, which is the Rosh of YESHSUT, nine operations are drawn and emerge from one another, until the completion of the cancellation of that level, namely from operation fifty-six to operation sixty-four. For at first there were drawn there two causes: the first is the one that measures the extent of the level, drawn from the bottom Hey that descended to phase three, and this is operation fifty-six. And the second is the extent of the illumination of Hochma from this level, which is operation fifty-seven.

From the two operations, the fifty-sixth and the fifty-seventh, is drawn the extent of the level, called the look of the Einayim of YESHSUT, which is the discernment of Hesed and Gevura with illumination of Hochma, and this is operation fifty-eight.

From operation fifty-eight, from the Malchut in it, is drawn the expansion to the body, to the king of the lower BASH of Tifferet, and this is operation fifty-nine.

From operation fifty-nine, two operations were drawn: the first is the departure of the light from the vessel, which is operation sixty, and the second is their fall to BYA. In the way explained above in the two operations nine and ten, drawn from operation eight. See there.

And from operation sixty, which is the departure of the light, is drawn the leaving of the record, which is operation sixty-two, for it is the nature of light to leave a record after its departure.

And from operation sixty-one, which is their fall to BYA, are caused two operations: the ascent of the records and their clothing in the new vessels, since they cannot clothe in their own vessels, as they fell to BYA, and this is operation sixty-three. And the second is the cancellation of the coupling and the fall of the level to the place of its Guf, called the fall of the posterior of YESHSUT. For after the vessels broke, its screen was refined and the coupling of the Rosh was canceled, and the level of the Rosh fell to BYA. And this is operation sixty-four.

9) From operation sixty-four, which is the cancellation of the coupling of the Rosh of YESHSUT, which was at the level of Hochma, two operations are caused: sixty-five and sixty-six. For since the coupling of phase three was canceled, and only the coarseness of phase two remained in the screen, the coupling at the level of Bina came out upon it, and this is operation sixty-five. And the second is the drawing of the illumination of Hochma from this level, and this is operation sixty-six, in the way of operations twelve and thirteen, drawn from the tenth.

And from the two operations, sixty-five and sixty-six, are drawn the ten Sefirot from below upward at the level of Bina, called the body of YESHSUT, which is operation sixty-seven. For the sixty-fifth measures the level of Bina, and the sixty-sixth draws the illumination of Hochma.

From operation sixty-seven, from the Malchut in it, is caused the expansion to the body, to the king of NH. This is operation sixty-eight.

From operation sixty-eight is drawn the departure of the light, which is operation sixty-nine, and the fall to BYA, which is operation seventy, in the way of the ninth and tenth caused by the eighth.

And from operation sixty-nine, which is the departure of the light, is caused the leaving of the record, which is operation seventy-one. And from operation seventy, which is the fall to BYA, are caused two operations: the ascent of the record to the new vessel of Gevura, which is operation seventy-two, and the cancellation of the coupling of the level of Bina of the Rosh, and its fall to the Guf, which is operation seventy-three.

10) From operation seventy-three, which is the cancellation of the coupling of the level of Bina, two operations are caused: a cause for the level of ZA, which is operation seventy-four, since after the cancellation of the coarseness of phase two, the coarseness of phase one still remained. And the second is the drawing of the illumination of Hochma from this level, which is operation seventy-five.

From the two operations, seventy-four and seventy-five, are drawn the ten Sefirot from below upward at the level of ZA, called the Yesodot of YESHSUT. This is operation seventy-six.

From operation seventy-six, from the Malchut in it, is caused the expansion to the body, to the king of Yesod, and this is operation seventy-seven.

From operation seventy-seven, two operations are caused: the first is the departure of the light from the vessel of Yesod, which is operation seventy-eight, and the second is the fall to BYA, which is operation seventy-nine.

From operation seventy-eight, which is the departure of the light, is caused the leaving of the record, which is operation eighty. And from operation seventy-six, which is the fall to BYA, are caused two operations: the first is the ascent of the record and its clothing in the vessel of Daat, which is operation eighty-one, and the second is the cancellation of the coupling and the fall of the level to the Guf.

11) From operation eighty-two, which is the cancellation of the coupling of the level of ZA, operations are caused which are: the measuring for the level of Malchut, which is operation eighty-three, and the drawing of the illumination, which is operation eighty-four.

From the two operations, eighty-three and eighty-four, are drawn the ten Sefirot of the Rosh at the level of Malchut, called the Malchuyot of YESHSUT, which is operation eighty-five. And from that operation is drawn illumination to the seventh king, which is Malchut, and this is operation eighty-six.

From operation eighty-six are caused two operations, which are: the departure of the light, which is operation eighty-seven, and the fall to BYA, which is operation eighty-eight, in the way of the ninth and tenth caused by the eighth. See there.

From operation eighty-seven, which is the departure of the light, is drawn the leaving of the record, which is operation eighty-nine. And from operation eighty-eight are caused two operations: the first, the ascent of the record and its clothing in the new king of Daat, which is operation ninety, and the second is the cancellation of the coupling of the Rosh, and the fall of the level to the Guf. And this is operation ninety-one.

12) From operation ninety-one, which is the cancellation of the coupling of the Rosh, due to the refinement of the screen in the vessel of Malchut, is caused the ascent of the general screen of the Guf of YESHSUT, together with the records included in it, to the Rosh of YESHSUT, for the renewal of the coupling. For after the screen was refined also of the vessel of Malchut, all the coarseness of the Guf that was in it has now ceased entirely, and it becomes equal to the screen of the Rosh, and this is operation ninety-two.

From operation ninety-two, which is the ascent of the screen of the Guf of YESHSUT to its root, to the screen of the Rosh, is caused the renewal of the coarseness on the record of phase one in it, and the emergence of the coupling of the level of ZA in the inclusion in YESHSUT, and this is operation ninety-three.

From operation ninety-three, which is the new level that came out on phase one in the inclusion in the Rosh of YESHSUT, is caused the descent of the Rosh to the place of the Chazeh of the Guf of YESHSUT, namely from the upper joint of Yesod upward to the Peh of YESHSUT, which is the SHA of Tifferet, in the place of the three vessels: the lower BASH of Tifferet, and Netzah and Hod, namely clothing the Guf of its upper one, in the way of every lower Partzuf. And this is operation ninety-four.
