Part 5 · Chapter 1

The Ari's Text

*Know that since these ten Sefirot that are called the world of Akudim, are lights and branches that emerged from the Peh of AK, and it is known that within the Peh itself will be the ten Sefirot in her, and in her tenth Sefira, called the Malchut in her, there are ten roots of these ten Sefirot that came out, which are called the world of Akudim. They are also called ten Sefirot from Keter to Malchut, and they are roots to these ten Sefirot of Akudim that came out, for so it is in all the worlds.

1There are ten Shorashim there…in the tenth Sefira…called the Malchut in her. We have already learned the matter of the Hitpashtut of each Partzuf. The Ohr Elyon expands for Zivug de Hakaa on the Masach in Kli Malchut first. This Ohr Hozer rises from the Masach upward and clothes the Eser Sefirot in the Ohr Elyon, and this Halbasha is called Eser Sefirot of Rosh.Afterwards, Malchut expands through the Ohr Hozer that she raised to Eser Sefirot from her and within her from above downward. This Halbasha is called Guf, and in the Partzufim of AK they are called Akudim.You find that the Malchut with the Eser Sefirot of her Ohr Hozer extend and emanate the Eser Sefirot of the Guf. That is why her Eser Sefirot are called Shorashim to the Sefirot of the Guf.
