*And one must know: it is known that the Itra [crown] of Hesed is male, and the Itra of Gevura is female. How, then, is it possible that from the female Itra of Gevura male souls should come out? To understand this, we must also explain this matter to you at its first root — namely, what difference and distinction there is among the upper Lights, such that this one is called male and that one is called female.

1That the Itra of Hesed is male, and the Itra of Gevura is female, etc.: Meaning: it is known that Daat is comprised of the five Hassadim and the five Gevurot, which are the discernments of male and female within Daat. The five Hassadim are called the Itra of Hesed, and the five Gevurot are called the Itra of Gevura, and they are called by the name Itrin [crowns], because they are the secret of the crowns with which AVI crown ZA — for ‘Atarot’ means ‘Ketarim.’ But since the Gevurot in Daat are more significant than the Hassadim — in the secret of the verse, ‘the righteous sit with their crowns on their heads,’ etc. — they are therefore called crowns, for every Keter of the female aspect is called by the name ‘crown,’ in the secret of the verse, ‘go forth and see,’ etc., ‘with the crown with which his mother crowned him,’ etc.
