And when it rose in the will of the Emanator to emanate the world of Nekudim, it was already explained above that Adam Kadmon restricted himself a second time and raised the internality of the light from half of his Tifferet and below, and raised it upward; and afterward that light came out through the eyes and spread outside, from half of his Tifferet and below, and became the world of Nekudim.

1Restricted himself a second time: That is to say, in addition to the first restriction explained in the words of the ARI in Etz Chaim, Gate 1, Branch 2, where the restriction was only in the middle point, which is the Malchut of the Guf [body] that was restricted and receives no light at all, and remained a vacant space. And she is the discernment of the point of this world; and therefore the line was afterward drawn from Ein Sof, that is, the first ten Sefirot, down to the point of this world, which is the central point most distant of all from Ein Sof, as written in Part 1, and as the ARI wrote in Etz Chaim, Gate 3, Chapter 2. And it turns out that the whole of the restriction was only upon the discernment of Malchut alone, whereas the nine first ones were clean of every discernment of restriction and judgment; and therefore there is not, in all the three Partzufim of AK that precede the world of Nekudim, more than the discernment of a single vessel, called Akudim, which is the vessel of Malchut, all the ten Sefirot being bound within her. But now a new restriction was made in the worlds, called the second restriction, in which the discernment of Malchut rose and joined together with the Sefira of Bina, and the restriction was made at the place of Bina; and this is what is termed the partnership of the quality of mercy with judgment. And through this ten vessels came out and were renewed in the Partzuf, as written in Part 5 at length. And behold, the essential innovation that was renewed with the second restriction is that now every degree ended at the Sefira of Bina, and there the expansion of every degree was cut off, similar to the cutting off of the degree at Malchut that operates in the first restriction. And there did not remain in the Partzuf more than three vessels, KHB, while the ZON of every Partzuf separated and became the discernment of surrounding lights of garment and palace, as the ARI wrote in Etz Chaim, Gate 42, Chapter 3 — See there. And see in Beit Sha’ar HaKavanot, item 16, in Or Pashut. And remember this.
2And raised the internality of the light from half of his Tifferet and below, and raised it upward; and afterward that light came out through the eyes: The matter of the second restriction has already been explained: that since the restricted Malchut rose to the place of Bina, the light was cut off at the Sefira of Bina of every degree. And it is known that there are in this restricted Malchut two discernments. The first is the coupling Malchut, who couples in a coupling by striking with the upper light and turns the light back behind it so that it should not clothe in her; and the reflected light becomes a garment upon the ten Sefirot of direct light from below upward, and through this the ten Sefirot of the Rosh [head] of the Partzuf come into being. And the second is the concluding Malchut; for afterward Malchut herself expands from herself within herself by means of the reflected light into ten Sefirot from above downward, down to the Sium of his feet, since in the Malchut of the Guf [body] the light is cut off by force of the restriction within her, and through this the Partzuf is ended.
And it is known that the five discernments KHB ZON of the Guf had their names changed to HGT NH, because they are only the discernment of Hassadim. It is also known that the five discernments of the Rosh are called by the names Galgalta, Einayim, Ozen [ear], Hotem [nose], Peh [mouth].
And according to this it turns out now, in the second restriction, at the time when Malchut rose and joined in the Sefira of Bina, that one must discern in this ascent the two aforementioned discernments: that the coupling Malchut, who coupled in a coupling by striking and who had been standing in the Malchut of the Rosh, called Peh, has now risen to the Bina of the Rosh, called Nikvey Einayim — for the GAR of Bina are called Nikvey Einayim, and the ZAT of Bina are called Ozen, as is known. And in the same way the second discernment of Malchut, which is the concluding Malchut, whose place had been at the Sium of the feet of the Guf, that is, in the Malchut of the Guf, has now risen to the place of the Sefira of Bina of the Guf, called Tifferet — as above, that the KHB in the Guf are called HGT — and there, within the Tifferet, the Sium of the feet of the Partzuf was made.
So that the coupling by striking which brought out the ten Sefirot of the Rosh at the time of the second restriction, for the need of the Partzuf of Nekudim, and which should have come out in the Malchut of the Rosh of the Partzuf SAG of AK, called Peh, came out now at the place of the Nikvey Einayim. And likewise the place of the Sium of this Partzuf, which should have ended in the Malchut of the Guf, ended now at half of the Tifferet of the Guf.
And this is what he says, “and raised the internality of the light from half of his Tifferet and below, and raised it upward” — for now the light ended at half of the Tifferet, that is, within the Bina of the Guf, since there now stands the point of the Malchut that concludes the light, as above; and it turns out that the whole of the place from half of the Tifferet and below, down to the Sium of the feet of AK, remained without light, similar to the middle point in the first restriction, which remained a vacant space. And this is what the ARI says, “that he raised the internality of the light from half of his Tifferet and below, and raised it upward” — for this Partzuf of the second restriction has already ended within half of the Tifferet of SAG of AK, as explained.
And this is what he says, “and afterward that light came out through the eyes and spread outside, from half of his Tifferet and below, and became the world of Nekudim” — for every lower one is emanated by means of the degree above it; and it turns out that the world of Nekudim was emanated and came out at first in the Partzuf SAG of AK, which is the upper one of the Nekudim, and afterward it comes out from the place of the coupling that it had in the upper one and descends to its own place. And this is what the ARI says, “and afterward that light came out through the eyes” — that is, in the place where the coupling by striking was made, which is the place of the Nikvey Einayim, as above, for there Malchut rose; and after the coupling was made there in the measure of the level of the Nekudim, it came out from there and descended to its place. And this is what he says, “and spread outside, from half of the Tifferet and below” — that is, outside the Partzuf TNHY of AK mentioned above, since there is the place of the world of Nekudim.
