Parte 13 · Capítulo 96

Thus it is found that there must be thirteen corrections of the skull (Galgalta), and these are: the skull — Keter. The two ears — Hochma and Bina. The two eyes — Hesed and Gevura. The nose — Tifferet, for it is like an elongated Vav. The two lips — Netzah and Hod, as is said of the willow, which resembles lips, in the secret of "and willows of the brook," as mentioned in Parashat Tzav, page 32, side A: "Rabbi Yosi said: we have learnt that the willow resembles lips; on this day, what is it..." The tongue — Yesod, the covenant of the tongue. The mouth — Malchut. These are ten corrections, corresponding to the ten Sefirot that are in the Keter of Arich Anpin, which is the Galgalta. And there are three more to complete the thirteen, as above, and they are: the forehead — Daat, and further, the two cheeks — the two holy apples. Thus they are thirteen of the Galgalta. (And it seems to me, Chaim, that perhaps the two apples are the two aspects that Netzah and Hod possess, as above; therefore they were counted on their own, and they are between the nose and the tongue, with Tifferet and Yesod in the middle, and the two apples at the sides, upon the two lines; and opposite them are the two lips, the lower aspect within them, as above.)
