And now we will clarify their order. Know that it was clarified in the Gemara (Sanhedrin 91b), in the story of Rabbi [Yehuda HaNasi] and Antoninus, that it is impossible for living flesh to stand without salt for more than three days without rotting beyond that time. And therefore it is necessary that during the three days of absorption some phase of life and spirituality enters the fetus. And behold, at that time, during these three days, enter the phases of the 19 sparks of the filling of MA mentioned above, which are the phase of 18, to hint that there is already life within them; and with the inclusive count they are 19, for with less than this last filling — the lowest MA among the three Names mentioned above — it has no life without it.
