Now, in order to reconcile these statements, you should know that certainly in all the ten Sefirot there is male and female, only there is a difference in how they exist. The explanation of the matter is that in ZON, in whom is the essence of the death — for in them was the matter of the seven Kings who died — there are therefore aspects of male and female in Partzufim separate from one another. And when you find at times that they are joined, this is only when they are back to back, for then their posteriors are stuck together, and one wall serves them both, and a sawing off at the back is required to separate them.

1Male and female in Partzufim separate from one another, etc.; joined only when they are back to back: For when they are in Katnut, meaning that they lack the illumination of Hochma, this deficiency is revealed mainly in NHY of ZA, for that is the place of the revelation of the illumination of Hochma, and there is a fear that the shells might suck from the posterior of NHY. For in every place where there is some deficiency in holiness, the shells take hold there and suck from the flaw. Therefore they have a correction at that time, to receive the light of the posterior of the upper Ima, by means of her screen that repels Hochma, because she desires mercy, for Bina desires Hassadim more than Hochma, for such is the nature of her GAR by force of the Bina of direct light, as is known. Therefore, when ZON receive the light of Bina from the discernment of her GAR, the aforementioned posterior of hers is imparted to them, and the deficiency of Hochma within them is filled by the force of the GAR of Bina, and this posterior that they receive is termed by the name wall, meaning a screen that detains the illumination of Hochma.
And then ZA and his Nukva are regarded as stuck to one another by means of that wall, because wherever the posterior of the upper Ima expands, NHY is found included within HGT and cannot be revealed outward, as is known. And since NHY of ZA is the root of the Nukva, it follows that the Nukva is stuck to ZA and included within him, having no revelation outward.
And this is what is meant by “for then their posteriors are stuck together, and one wall serves them both, and a sawing off at the back is required to separate them,” for that wall which they received from the posterior of Ima sticks them to one another, for it does not allow NHY to extend outward, because the posterior of Ima has dominion only over the GAR of ZON, which is HGT, because even within Bina herself her posterior is cut off from her own ZAT, as is known from the secret of the Bina of direct light, for when she came to emanate ZON, she was compelled to cut off her posterior, and to return face to face with Hochma, in order to impart the illumination of Hochma to her ZON. Therefore, even within ZA himself, she cannot impart her posterior except to his GAR, which is HGT, and hence NHY is found included within HGT, in the secret of “and their backs were within the house,” as is known.
And this is what is meant by “and a sawing off at the back is required to separate them.” That is, it is impossible for the Nukva to be revealed outward and emerge from her inclusion in HGT, except through the sawing off of the posterior of the upper Ima from them. However, this posterior is sawed off only through the raising of MAN to AVI, for then Ima herself, too, cuts off her posterior, and returns face to face with the upper Aba, and the HaG that emerge in AVI through this coupling of theirs descend and are imparted to ZON, and through this HaG, the posterior of ZON is also cut off and sawed off, and then NHY is revealed outward, and separated from HGT, and also the Nukva of ZA, who is herself the discernment of this NHY that is revealed outward, is found separated from ZA, and becomes a Partzuf in her own right. And this is what is written in the Zohar: “Hesed came and separated them,” for the HaG that descend from the coupling face to face of AVI descend and come to ZON, and through it, they are sawed off and separated from one another and become two distinct Partzufim. And behold, it has been explained that the posterior cannot be sawed off from ZON before the upper Ima herself cuts off her own posterior in her own place. It has also been explained that the essential advantage of ZON exists only when they are separate Partzufim, for then they are in Gadlut and can couple face to face. But not so when the wall of the posterior dominates them; for then they are stuck together with one another because of that wall, and there is then no coupling between them at all, for she is included within him.
