Let us return to the matter of the seeing of the Eynaim, and say that the making of the vessels was through its looking, seeing, and gazing in the light of Akudim, called the above-mentioned Nefesh. This is the meaning of the verse, “And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided,” etc. The Ruach and the Neshama, which are the lights Ozen and Hotem, are called complete light. The Nefesh, which is Akudim that emerge from the Peh, are implied in the excess word “the,” in what the text says, “the light.” He said that since God is the Emanator, He sees and looks at the Nefesh, called “the,” and then “and [God] divided,” etc., which is considered the making of the vessels that separate, limit, and place a ration and measurement in the lights, and their parts are separated from one another.
